    Youth Spurs Youth 2019/20

    That's a good read. Thanks. Especially liked this paragraph: And as the author mentions. Alexander-Arnold, who is being hyped as one of the best right backs ever, is bascially just lucky that Clyne got injured. Similar can be said of Gareth Bale and many others. Right place at the right...

    Youth Spurs Youth 2019/20

    Tough to say how easy it would be to arrange friendlies with those clubs. Think they have a pretty packed schedule as it is and these wouldn't be huge money making friendlies, so there wouldn't be much of an attraction to the lower league clubs.

    Club Alfonos Davies - World best left back

    I wonder though what will happen to him long term at Bayern. If you look at Alaba, he seems to have stalled somewhat. I'm not entirely sure what that's down to, whether it's the coaching or the relative lack of competitive games Bayern play per season.

    That article was behind a paywall? Nothing in there, which we haven't yet discussed here.

    Youth Spurs Youth 2019/20

    Probably need to get him out on loan somewhere so that he can start playing games next season. But a player like that needs to go to the right club. Somewhere they like a footballing DM.

    Match Other matches Fred - 2019/2020.

    The great atmosphere at Dortmund is a bit of a myth too these days. 3-0 up against Frankfurt and you could hear a pin drop.

    worst police in Europe/UK?

    Which sane person would decide to join the police? I know one who's alright, but I can't quite fathom why he does it. Working unsociable shifts, constantly dealing with drunks and arseholes (colleagues and public) and then the pay isn't even that great. Got to be a certain type of person to...

    Article Jewish chronicle article on Spurs and the Y-Word

    This article again is focussing on completely the wrong songs. Chelsea fans can sing about hating Yids (in relation to Spurs Supporters) as much as they like (in my opinion) But making the gas chamber sounds and signing songs about Ausschwitz are the actual issue in my opinion. On another...

    worst police in Europe/UK?

    Wow - comes flying in from the side and I can't see what happened prior to that - but it didn't look as if the lad was endangering anyone. Might have been giving it large, but that's not exactly something which should provoke that type of response. Only thing I can think, is that he lobbed a...

    Supporters Your 'favourite' football chants?

    On a similar note. I was once at Pittodrie to see Aberdeen play Kilmarnock (or one of those other nothing clubs). Ground was pretty quiet at the time and the opposition team had a throw-in. The player who came across to take the throw had long blonde hair (like Robbie Savage) and this old bloke...

    Ex-Spurs Player Eric Dier

    As part of the two deeper lying midfield players. I agree. The great thing about when he was playing there in that season, was that we allowed Rose and Walker to bomb forward, as Dier would slot in between Alderweireld and Vertonghen and turn it in to a back 3 when in possesion. When working...

    Match Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa (A) (16/02/20) (2pm)

    Stay financially stable compared to those owned oil money. But to be honest, we as a footballing nation in England have sold our soul to the devil (not a new development). We are paying a huge premium buying mediocre players off foreign clubs who are laughing all the way to the bank. And we as...

    Sadly I know this - still not happy about it. :vdvhmm:

    Match Tottenham Hotspur Versus Redbull Leipzig 19/02/2010

    He's not scored for 4 games running now... Fingers crossed this won't be a Dr. Tottenham performance from us.

    Player Tanguy Ndombele

    I would say you both have good points, that aren't mutually exclusive. I agree that Ndombele drawing a foul, allowing the defending team to regroup behind the ball isn't effective and useful to us. Where RealCoolYid has a point, is that if every time he does get kicked - this will happen even...

    Club Come here to laugh at the Fascist, Failing Chavs

    How many more incidents like this need to come to light, before punishments become serious? There will be some wank excuse by UEFA / the FA / whoever, that as these incidents did not take place in the football stadium, this is a matter only for the police. Well fuck right off. The only way...

    Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

    Ok - from Xmas 2018 then. And the consistency thing is actually why this argument came up. The argument here is that we always compare our players when they are at their worst, to opposition players when they are at their best. If Son managed to put in good performances week in, week out, his...

    Ex-Spurs Player Christian Eriksen

    Trequartista - is this word actually used by anyone? Thought it was a pure football manager term.

    Match FA Cup - Steven Bergwijn vs Southampton (H) 5/02 - 19:45KO

    Not sure if he can that easily. Looks to me like the keeper tried to grab hold of his leg, going at speed that's going to put him off balance. And the risk of then not scoring is too high. Whereas if the penalty isn't given, there's still the chance of VAR giving that. Seems like the sensible move.

    Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

    Last season nobody was even mentioning Mane in the same breath as Son, but that's also because he wasn't hitting the heights he's been hitting this season. Sammy has a point here. We only ever look at players who are doing well and then compare that to current form Spurs players. What Mane is...
