    Management Spurs Financials 2019/20

    Filing deadline would be March 31st although Spurs have already filed they could conceivably amend that filing between now and the 31st ... it's therefore standard practice for Companies House to firewall the accounts until the beginning of April, last year copies leaked out so maybe the same...

    Rules If the season isn’t completed........(Now with Poll)

    The reason the FA have said "indefinitely" is that the TV companies have agreed to extend the TV payments until games are played, it's not their problem they know fans will watch whenever. What the FA have sensibly done for now is to ring-fence that TV money. The issue for the FA is blindingly...

    Club Come here to laugh at Dippers

    Possibly we're overthinking .... whilst a lot is unknown there are some basic physics at play. In very hot weather virus laden moisture is less prevalent on exposed surfaces - you don't have damp infected surfaces where the virus can live, they simply dry up in seconds, humid air is already...

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    One player out of what 5,000 in Europe ... OK that swings it then ... We were talking leagues but you couldn't support that argument, so we dropped to teams but you couldn't support that argument, now we're down to one player .... what next grass is to long?

    Management Spurs Financials 2019/20

    My boy at the club says we could lose almost 100m if the season gets wiped out, not turnover but bottom line all our agreements are conditional on playing a certain number of games, we will breach many of them if the season is made void. Discussions with sponsors are positive but a lot of those...

    Sorry mate you're talking bollocks - athletes/players are clearly fitter, stronger, faster, the ever lowering of world records proves that - if you deny that you're not worth wasting anymore time on.

    Are the 2020 EPL teams better than there earlier counterparts ... I say yes you say no ... you will never convince me that half fit beer drinking smokers made for better teams ... but if you believe that I'm OK with it there is no right or wrong ... no amount of your 'opinions' will change my...

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    Would have been very close, would probably have gone unbeaten in 1980 whether Spurs had Hoddle or not ... that's all rank speculation of course. The fact, and it is a fact, is that teams today are far fitter, faster and have greater stamina than they did 40/30/20 even 10 years ago ... or do you...

    OK I'll rephrase (could have sworn Hoddle was 1980's but you know best) You think a 2000-2012 side would beat a 2020 side I think you're talking utter shit .... OK?

    Let's just agree to disagree You think a 1980's side would beat a 2020 side I think you're talking utter shit .... OK?

    Yup because for a relegation threatened side with a potential home "6 pointer" having already played the reverse fixture away in front of a hostile crowd .... that's just the same as playing at a neutral venue ... where's my lawyer

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    Which makes you confused .... if 100% of today's players are massively fitter ergo mostly of a higher quality than their 1980's counterparts, then it's blindingly obvious that overall the PL must be much stronger ... That's 500 fitter players versus a handful of 'subjectively' more skilful...

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    Agree that premise is totally laughable - the comparison was between the fitness levels of modern players and their 1980's equivalent ... Hoddle at 1980's levels would not be the same player he was in the modern game. Just as 1980's athletes would all be slower than 2020 athletes so 1980's...

    Try again remember use slow reading Dele in 2020 with his level of conditioning is superior in fitness to Hoddle in 1980 with his level of conditioning ... just as all modern athletes are better than their counterparts from 40 years ago. Not once has it been suggested that Dele is a more...

    You're not reading - clearly it's not your "skill" Dele is faster over short and long distances than Hoddle was - simple easy to understand statement. No mention of Kane or better finishing ... if you read slowly you might comprehend, give it a try.

    Fitness is a skill like any other it can be honed and trained ... off course it helps you pass the ball better stronger, fitter, faster = better passer Or should all players be unfit if fitness makes no difference ... if fitness is genetic why have gym's?

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    Of course Fitness is a skill level ... the vast majority of the population cannot attain an EPL fitness level ... to simply sassume they could is pointless, Hoddle couldn't stay fit in the 80's so why would he today? ... if we could all get that fit we'd all have a chance at professional...
