    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    Makes Yeah, Ten Hag has spoken highly of PEH in the past and was close to signing him for Ajax before our interest scuppered it. Given ETH's penchant for bringing in players he's familiar with, this link actually makes a lot of sense. I could well see it happening if Amrabat and Gravenberch are...

    They have Gusto, who I think will be excellent for them.

    Like Maddison, Eze is another with Base, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us going hard for him next Summer (at which point he'll be within a year of his contract expiry). Eze and JM's skillsets would potentially complement each other quite well I think.

    Premier League 2022/23

    For the first time all season I'm thinking of tuning into AFTV. I've missed them.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Satire? I wish! Happy to get into a deep, dark technical analysis of my possibly semi-serious point tomorrow. For now though I remain still entirely discombobulated by the thoughtfulness and rationality of your response. Allow me recovery time please.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Reckon we'd challenge for the title under Conte next year - if only we conspired to completely crash our season and finish out of the European places. Albeit I doubt our Daniel would share such vision. Oh well, purgatory it remains.

    Player Watch - Arnaut Danjuma

    Traore with end product would be just about the greatest player who ever lived lol

    Mauricio Pochettino

    I dunno. Doubt he'd put it forward quite so bluntly as that, but acting without an agent as he does, Poch's camp have a history of leaking stories sloppily through the media. The way he was (obviously but indirectly) pushing for the United job, prior to ETH getting the call, was kind of...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Can't see it, for a variety of reasons (and the idea of a non-Englishman managing England does always feel a little off to me), but I think that Tuchel would make for an absolutely phenomenal international tournament coach. In fact I'd say he might be a closer guarantee of success than almost...

    England Vs France: QF

    I find it ironic that Harry's gonna get a load of shit over his missed penalty tonight, as if he's the cause of our demise, when over recent tournaments we'd have gotten nowhere without his high penalty success rate. Under Southgate our main threats in big games have remained 1) win a penalty...

    England Vs France: QF

    Somehow it doesn't count. In 2018 I was proud and bigging up to those around me that we (Spurs) were on the cusp of having a world cup winning captain - a feat shared by less than 20 men over the previous century, with Bobby Moore the only other of those based in English football. I'd always...

    England Vs France: QF

    No one could be as bad as with the Argie Dutch game, but come on fgs the ref tonight was wank. Objections towards his performance can hardly be so easily minimzed as simply equating to bitterness.

    England Vs France: QF

    Oh ffs. Its not a matter of doing anything overly wrong. It's an issue of not doing anything outstandingly right. What big match have England won under Southgate that they weren't expected to? Just how long in the job is he supposed to get off the back of these par performances before someone...

    England Vs France: QF

    Here we go then, there's the narrative - it's all Harry's (and by extension somehow Tottenham's) fault. Fact is, England shouldn't be so consistently reliant on penalties to win big matches. Let's give Southgate another 4 year extension anyway though
