    Competition Conference league or bust?

    I think I'm going to buck the tend a little here by being in favour... just. Yes, it's a banter cup and a distraction, but it's also a chance to give non-regulars some game time and win a trophy. It also comes with coefficient points, which will be valuable if and when we return to the...

    Management Has Conte Been Sacked Yet?

    Don't Riems have to pay a fine of something like €50k per match because Still doesn't have his UEFA Pro Licence? If so... Will Still

    Ex-Spurs Player Gary 'the ears' Lineker is a prick - discuss

    This is a more interesting debate than I originally thought it would be. My initial reaction to RomanzoCriminale's claims were much the same as everyone else (i.e. what a load of bollocks), but now I'm not so sure. We see time and time again here that views - or at least the way views are...

    Manager Antonio Conte

    Thanks. I haven't heard the comments, nor seen them written in context. It does seem pretty clear that he's off, one way or the other though. Another of the comments attributed to him by the BBC was: All in all, given what we know about Levy and Conte, it was a strange appointment.

    Manager Antonio Conte

    I didn't see the presser, but the BBC have a slightly different transcription of his comments. He's quoted there as saying: Which, if accurate, suggests he's really saying, "I'll work until I'm sacked, but I'm not quitting."

    Management Has Conte Been Sacked Yet?

    Perversely, it may be that taking Kulu off for Sanchez turns out to be the best decision Conte made, in that it might finally have removed the blinkers from the players' eyes. Richarlison and Kane's post-match comments suggest he's lost or is losing the dressing room — hard to imagine either...

    Ex-Spurs Player Gary 'the ears' Lineker is a prick - discuss

    Whether you like him or not, can you really criticise him for commenting on sociopolitical topics? Many here were recently lambasting Neville et al for failing to do exactly that re: Qatar.

    Manager Antonio Conte

    Given those games are at Anfield and St James' Park, it's probably more in their hands than ours, but I take your point.

    Manager Antonio Conte

    Not quite, mate... Liverpool, Newcastle and Brighton all leapfrog us if they win their games in hand. Even Brentford would be just 1pt behind us if they win their games in hand.

    Match Tottenham Hotspur Karting FC vs AC Milan 08/03/2023

    With Davies to replace Lenglet and Sanchez to replace Royal if we're chasing the game. In the 88th minute, of course.

    Player Emerson Royal

    LOL, I know Romero is passionate, but he needs to be told to stop assaulting his own teammates when celebrating a goal (@20 seconds in that clip).

    Management Financial Results - Year Ended 30 June 2022

    Thanks. If 'intangible assets' relates to the players, whether exclusively or in part, does that imply we assess our squad to be worth no more than £279M? (source, pg 3 of the same document)

    Management Financial Results - Year Ended 30 June 2022

    Does anyone have any idea what 'intangible assets' we might have spent £91M on? Source, page 18

    Management Levy / ENIC

    I know precious little about interpreting financial statements, so apologies if this is 101 stuff. We spent around £92M on the acquisition (and received around £24M from the sale) of 'Intangible Assets'. What might these include?

    Management Levy / ENIC

    I see this repeated a lot, but I'm not sure it's entirely accurate. I recall reading somewhere that Jol knew he was going to be sacked before the match, but that he didn't tell the players. The news was then leaked (Sky?) during the match, which then morphed into him being blindsided at half...

    Club Come here to laugh at Citeh

    Is there a chance that the off-the-books salaries paid to managers and players could lead to sanctions against them personally? If so, Kompany's decision to speak out might stem from a sense of self-preservation.

    Club Come here to laugh at Citeh

    Rangers were forced out of the entire Scottish pyramid because they went into administration as the result of a case brought against them by HMRC.

    Club Come here to laugh at Citeh

    As satisfying as it would be to see them drop through the leagues, any EPL sanction could only apply to the EPL, surely? The EPL couldn't (to use your example) impose a 30-point penalty in The Championship, or League One, etc. Or could they?

    Don't want to skew this off-topic, but have to say I totally agree... my absolute favourite player to watch.
