    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    Damn you guys...I was still angry from Saturday and looking for radical conclusions. Just listened to your irritatingly measured and considered take on the wider perspective and I now feel less kneejerk and more prepared to be patient and see how things pan out! That said - I do think in...

    Cann we?

    Although I'm confident we'll get the 20 points I'm sure they'll be a period where we drop points and don't play well - even if its just a couple of games. 11 games is still a long way - teams competing for fourth place are, by definition, not as consistent as the title chasing teams. Important...

    Cann we?

    True it could be a high points year (Arsenal missed out in 16/17 with 75 points)- 70 points has been the average needed to finish 4th since 2002 so 73 should give some wiggle room. Looking at Villa's games - West Ham a, Wolves h, City a, Brentford h, Arsenal a, Bournemouth h, Chelsea h...

    Cann we?

    I think we need another 20 points (73) to guarantee 4th based on previous season statistics. 11 games to go - that's 6 wins and a couple of draws which allows for some wiggle room. Crucially there aren't any '6-pointers' left. With home games against Luton, Forest and Burnley and away at...

    Why we don't win trophies - blog

    Hi everyone, Following the 16 year anniversary of our last trophy success I've written a blog examining why we haven't won one - specifically the League Cup - since. @milo has posted on the Game is About Glory site. I'm blaming it on Mourinho (as chelsea manager) and then Pep taking it...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2023/24

    Somehow PL decided with the broadcasters that from March they only have to give 5 weeks notice (as opposed to 6 weeks in the earlier months of the season). It is exactly 5 weeks today until the scheduled midweek Tuesday games of 2nd April so in theory should be out by this afternoon....but we...

    Is Gascoigne Going to Have a Crack? 90s Spurs book (15th April 2024)

    It was a definite penalty - Phil Don played it safe by giving a corner! I don't remember the Wright boot thing but both Teddy and Ruddock in their respective books spoke about having an unnecessary 4-man wall which left Adams free at the back post! I'd like to say we'd have definitely beaten...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    Great listen guys. Such a contrast between the measured and reasoned opinions you articulated with the absolute cesspit of nonsense and entitlement on social media all weekend! Listening to you guys you'd think that building a team and squad capable of sustaining great performances and results...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2023/24

    In much the same way that VAR exposes some of the most ridiculous minutiae of the laws of the game the constant and unhelpful moving of fixtures for the TV audience highlights how flawed and limited our public transport networks are.....and that's before you start to consider the cost of...

    It's a great view from up there - do make sure that your Dad is able to access the Audio Descriptive Commentary service which is free. He'll be able to collect a headset on arrival at the stadium and then receive the commentary that the club put on. There was a really good video on the club...
