    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Where are those priorities? I've read this from others recently and I think the arguments about needing a central defender is miles off. And centre mids not far behind. And back up defenders all across the back 4 is mental as a priority. We're crying out for striker or two. Not wide forwards or...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I have some confidence in him, but doubts that he can overcome the culture at the club. There are plenty of signs over recent months that players have slipped in to comfort mode and were seeing a lot of slow paced passing and a lack of urgency and determination. Even from someone like Udogie...

    Arsenal

    He's not overpriced at all because mentality is baked in to that price. That's what's missing at Spurs time and again. Roy Keane was on that Neville show saying how often players at top teams look around to see who is in the trenches with you. Often in the context of the current united team. But...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    He's probably right that we are in about the right position relative to how we've performed. But talk is cheap and more games like fulham and newcastle will mean that fair reflection of where we are won't look so good. Sonny talking about how unacceptable the newcastle performance was - from...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    I reckon it's abysmal. Our players have every modern benefit and opportunity afforded them in the professional game in terms of facilities and access to preparation. Along with exorbitant salaries that are the norm at the top end of the game. And yet they have seemingly no professional pride...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Madisson has been a bit of a show pony for half a season now. Hopefully he can pull his finger out in this one and stop larding around aimlessly, 2 yards off the pace. He's really lost his cut and thrust that he had during the honeymoon period. We're 17 points behind them, which is abysmal...

    New Tottenham 24-25 Kits

    Seriously though, what's the point in having a mostly white away shirt? We need one that we can wear against other sides with a white shirt. Isn't that the point?

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Yeah, united are really awful and I don't expect them to catch us. But it puts us in unflattering perspective. They are a basket case. When you watch them you just can't believe they have the points they have. But you take our new manager bounce away from the start of our season, and we're...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    We have arse and pool next. United have Burnley and palace. It'll be weird if united are just a point behind us after that

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    The permanent question doubters like me have is about the team's character. It's fucking exhausting that it's an annual issue - certainty almost- that Spurs players will let you down. The Newcastle and Fulham performances were spineless and empty. We don't always play like that, but we always...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    I don't know if it has a name, but Jackson has what Werner has. The yips? The yips: In sports, the yips are a sudden and unexplained loss of ability to execute certain skills in experienced athletes. It's more than that though. There's a bizarre decision making aspect rather than just a loss...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Anthony Gordon has been very impressive this season in a similar role to Werner. Great end product, a major step change improvement from him in one season. He's the model for this position for us I reckon. Smart and efficient on the ball. Doesn't make weird flawed decisions and doesn't panic in...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Johnson is likely to be a nailed on starter midway through next season if he keeps developing. He's not some back up merchant unless things really stall out in his progression. We need him to have the penny drop and be a killer in terms of racking up goals and assists. Werner, on the other...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Lucas Bergvall

    I think there was a Fulham game where he scored 1 or 2 and absolutely ran the show. But the game finished 3-3 or something weird, and contributed to a long run where we didn't win if Bale played. But if you were watching games you could see he had tons of ability.

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    I'm sure Levy would love CL revenue, but Ange has already signaled that a CL campaign for an unready squad has its drawbacks. Our cup performances this season were drab, so I'm not bothered about which euro competition we end up in....it depends on whether we're bothered to compete for it...
