"Good evening everybody!"
International break comes at a great time, it gives us a good chance to regroup and have those really important “clear the air talks”.
Players like Alli should not be despondent being dropped by England but instead look for the positives, like using the extended time off to really focus on his next fashion collection
It also gives Jan & Toby some rest bite from the fast paced Premier league action to really sit down with their agents and throughly plan their next move and make sure their pay is adequate for players of their stature, never underestimate making a hasty decision lads as they almost never end well, so use this time wisely to dot all the I’s and cross all the T’s, I would hate for either of you to under sell yourselves
This time will also give Eriksen a chance to go on Danish TV yet again and repeat for about the 9 millionth time that he isn’t, i repeat isn’t signing a new deal at Spurs....Ah if only Poch & Levy had Danish TV
It also give Hugo more time to recover before being thrust back into action, although Eric Dier had his fucking tonsils removed and was out for a year so Hugo should be back by 2024 with a dislocated shoulder
With all our global superstars away our youth players will get more one on one time with the manager to prove to him that Sissoko should play right back and making the match day squad is just a waste of a good Saturday afternoon but it beats shopping with the wife
And finally old McLevy finally has a break to look over the cash registers after a busy start to the season with all these new highly expensive experiences for the fan, and of course the NFL circus rolling into town as well....
Carlsberg don’t do international breaks, but if they did

Indeed, let's see what this gamble on Foyth being our future RB really holds... I want us to have a clear view so we can act accordingly in the Jan window....
Foyth - ????
Aurier - Done.
KWP - Pressumed Done.
Sanchez - Don't be so cruel.
Sissoko - Emergency cover.
Toby - Poch would have tried him ahead of Sanchez if he was going to.
Dier - The idea has never filled me with confidence.
....It's not pretty.
if we lose this I genuinely think we will get relegated this season
They’re almost local rivals to us and certainly their support see this as a local derby. You’d think home advantage would mean three points will be the likely outcome but on resent showings that is certainly no banker. I wonder could the manager survive another humiliation at the hands of a so-called lesser side?
Personally, I can’t see this negative period continuing and expect a home win, but should it not be case and we lose, I’ll then be convinced that the season is over unless Poch is sacked!

When you are as bad as we are there is no home advantage, the only way to win is to work harder than the opponent. If we do that we will win.
Brighton ran 7.5km more than us yesterday which is unacceptable against any opponent, hard work is the only way out of this mess. Even before the Hugo mistake yesterday we were lazy in the build up and allowed them to easily deliver a dangerous cross from their very first action. Any player who is unwilling or unable to run around until they are ready to puke, has no place in our squad.
We won't but Pochettino would lose his job if he still has it.
These players are more than capable of matching Brighton in terms of running; it doesn’t just happen over night that the players can’t run anymore. I think what we are seeing here is calculated player power over again; and when enough players get together to plot against their current manager the outcome is always the same.
The case in my opinion is that Levy has no intention of delivering the war chest for fresh faces that Poch has stated is needed if we are to go to the next level; and he instead [Levy] believes it is the managers job to make it work with what he has; but Poch believes-he taken this lot as far as he can go with them: In other words the manager is voicing his belief that what he has is not good enough and that in and of itself is rebellion talk.
It can't get be any worse, surely! Were they not purchased with the intention that they replace our ageing centre backs? We've got to play them to give them experience and not hang them out to day when they make the inevitable mistake(s).
I love his sentiment, can't imagine him ever putting less than 100% into a game. But he needs a proof reader for his tweets!
Just because people buy tickets, doesn't always mean they'll bother to turn up
Just being facetious.........I'll be there, with knobs on !!!
Good shout Graham but your era is not the same as theirs. Money is the issue today and the disparity in salaries- it’s the 21st century.
As always.
