    Management What owners would you prefer ?

    I wonder if the stadium is attracting the entertainment types to the table. These mega concerts that Beyonce and Taylor Swift do have economic reverberations in the cities they are held. If you were able to own one of the venues (with its own separate revenue streams) plus hold a mumber of...

    Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

    He would be a mug if he fell for any of Levy's BS. I expect Kane has been fed all sorts of rhubarb about ambition and signings etc in recent years. It's too late now. Actions speak louder than words. We have needed a new defence since Jan starting showing signs of decline and Toby wanted out...

    Competition The Race for 4th

    Neville alluded to them being brutalised for 60 minutes at the Lane last week. Hopefully has a huge impact on their mojo.

    what? another manager? makes sense!

    Management Would You Have Accepted a Saudi Takeover?

    Each to their own, but to me winning isn't that important. Those teams that are used fornsportswashing the behaviour of their owners, they are no longer teams to me. Newcastle the latest example. I'd struggle to swallow it TBH and I've lost a lot of respect for the game already over the last...

    Transfers Summer 2021 - Transfer Thread

    Oh yeh, skill set wise, different players. Dembele was just another level to just about everyone. But in terms of being able to transition, and hold men off the ball, that's the similarity. As in he may have had a similar impact on our speed of transition if put into the side. Moot now it...

    Transfers Summer 2021 - Transfer Thread

    Bit of context to what I say next; I thought Dembele was the best player we had since Gazza. Certainly IMO he was the magic ingredient to Poch's team. It fell apart when the player started to fall apart. I think Traore has the most similar playing style to any player I've seen since Moose...

    Transfers Summer 2021 - Transfer Thread

    Next summer Haaland, Mbappe and Ronalo are all likely to be moving. Chelsea have their new striker. Kane need his move now or it my never happen forum (the way humans his brother envision).

    Tactics Who should be our Captain?

    Hugo Lloris hands down. he is our captain, and a great servant of the club. When he leaves I am sure there will be a worthy successor. Sneaky suspicion Skipp will have the armband one day.

    Management How are we going to win the 2021/22 Premier League?

    We won't because we don't want to. Levy doesn't care, why should we?

    Management Poll: Who do you want most as our next manager?

    Any time I hear of Ajax and their league I think of that 90's CL team of theirs: Van Der Sar The De Boers Blind Rijkard Reiziger Davids Seedorf Overmars Litmanen Kluivert Kanu Just amazing that so many talented players were on the same team. Doesn't add much to the debate but still!

    Management Jurgen Klinsmann Incoming?

    The fact there are mixed feelings on this scares me. Levy could see this as a perfect easy choice to placate the fans who should by now absolutely fuming with this shit show. How far we have fallen as a club, to where it seems Everton are more appealing than us (given the respective...

    Management Paulo Fonseca (Poll Added)

    Wow. Guess I'm whelmed. Let's get behind the fella. Truth be told I don't think we are a draw right now unless we offer mega money, which we can't do because I very much think our finances are perilous.

    Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

    This time it feels different. I know these cunts have wanted him to leave us for years, and up until this year I think it has been bollocks. But the time is probably right for him. It all needs a fresh start.

    Manager Jose Mourinho

    As much as it pains me to say it, Chelsea haven't done too bad after him have they? Nor Madrid. He's fucked isn't he, either it's oh the post Mourinho slump, he ruins everything, or a club does well and then it's oh Mourinho ain't all that, look how good they are after he left. Managers...

    Management What was the turning point for you towards Poch?

    Sub consciously, when I stopped posting on here now I think about it. I'll always love Spurs, it's like a first true love. But you know evertyrhing had just pushed me to the point where I needed a break. Didn't even bother to watch the Bayern game, I knew something bad was coming. I'm just...

    Manager Mauricio Pochettino

    No it won't. From my observations it appears to take around 6 months to really bed a player into Poch's systems and presses. Possibly a reason why he has asked for players early in trf windows. Possibly also a reason for our traditionally slower starts and rampant finishes to seasons...
