    Player Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    Number of matches doesn't say it all: In 16 games, Gallagher has played more than twice as many minutes as Højbjerg. Højbjerg's 581 minutes to Gallagher's 1331 minutes. Source: Transfermarkt. Merry Christmas!

    Transfers New goalkeeper

    I am fairly enamoured of Brøndby's current keeper, Mads Hermansen. He has a lot of the same qualities as Kasper and could evolve into becoming a great keeper. But for our case, it is a bit too early, I'm afraid.

    Transfers New goalkeeper

    I think his main strengths are his shot-stopping ability and his control of his box. His ball distribution with his feet is not bad but is probably an area where he could improve.

    Transfers New goalkeeper

    As a Dane, let me suggest a couple of fellow countrymen: - Frederik Rønnow, Union Berlin. Club lies third in the Bundesliga and Rønnow has conceded the fewest goals in the league. A really good keeper. - Daniel Iversen, Now first choice at Leicester. Pulled out a phantom performance...

    Player Dejan Kulusevski

    How about lack of strategic flexibility? Smart teams like Brentford know when to keep possession and play through the midfield and when to go for the long ball. Against Nottingham they had 70% possession and bossed the midfield, against Chelsea they had 30% possession and opted for long balls...

    Manager Antonio Conte

    I don't know if anyone has already written this before me, but ...Conte should be required to pay back all the money he has pilfered from this club. He seems so dishonest.

    Supporters What generation Tottenham are you?

    I am Danish and I was born 1961 (my bio here is 10 years off) and I had the good fortune to be able to watch the English First Division as it was then called on national Danish television every Saturday afternoon, beginning around 1970. Spurs became my favorite team for reasons unbeknownst to me...

    Management Next Manager Poll (poll reset 11/04/23)

    Slightly biased perhaps, but as a Dane I would love to see Thomas Frank at the helm. I had to mention him since suprisingly he isn't even mentioned as a possible candidate. The notion that you need tried and true managers on the big stage doesn't always hold up well. When Thomas Frank can do so...

    Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

    What makes (or made) Kane very good was his willingness to do more high intensity sprints than anyone else. He never was a huge natural talent. I predicted that this willingness would taper off with age and then from being a very good player, he will now just be a good player. We're going to see...

    Match Man City v Spurs - PL Sat 13th Feb 17:30 GMT - Live on Sky Sports

    I hate to say it, but we're being justly punished for this cowardly brand of football that we're playing. Mou has been found out a long time ago.

    Management In search of Mourinho's successor.

    Maybe I am biased (as a Dane), but if Mou is to be replaced, then I think we should be bold and hire Thomas Frank of Brentford. I can only drool at the thought of what he could do with this squad.

    Match Man Utd Vs Tottenham, Sunday 4th Oct - 4.30pm.

    Like boxers we shouldn't hit an opponent on his knees. Moderation is a virtue!

    Match Man Utd Vs Tottenham, Sunday 4th Oct - 4.30pm.

    This is the real upshot of these first games: The partnership between Son and Kane is simply second to none. And even better, you feel that it's no fluke, lasting for a few games only. There is substance to it!

    Player Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    I already told everybody that, 3 months ago, but nobody would listen ;-) (https://thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/threads/summer-2020-transfer-thread.34921/page-212#post-2327985)

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    Højbjerg is a natural number 8 which means he will take part in both defensive and offensive aspects of the game. He is NOT a natural number 6 and if that is what we're looking for, then we should go for someone else.

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    I'm sure that I have followed him much longer than you have. All the way from when he was a youth player at my own childhood's club, Brøndby. And I can assure you, that he craves to take part in the attacking play. The position he is used in, most often, is as a CM - even at Soton. He would...
