    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    The way I remember it is that his head was turned by City. And to be honest that’s understandable. We were never going to keep up with them. He got to work with Pep, got better money, a higher profile, guaranteed trophies. I think most players would prefer to play for City than Spurs...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    Levy nearly always gives his managers money to spend. Maybe not as much as they want but we generally make some exciting signings every season. Even under Conte, despite all his complaints, we bought Kulusevski on loan, Bentancur, Bissouma, Perisic, Richarlison and Porro. Say what you want...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    I think you could say this about nearly every team other than Arsenal and City. And even City are having a so-so season by their standards. I think it’s the nature of the league this season. I do think selling Kane has caught up with us though. We’ve traditionally had a massive dip after...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    If they win the league they win the league. We need to worry about ourselves. I just find some of the comments over the last few pages pretty pathetic. Adult men who can’t handle the idea of losing a match. If we lose, we lose. If they win the league, they win the league. They won it once at...

    OK, but they’re having a longer laugh..

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    We took a bigger drubbing to a relegated Newcastle team the season before our highest ever Premier League finish. We all hate it but sometimes you need to take a bit of pain to come out the other side. Being successful is having a plan and sticking to it. One of the problems with our club is...

    So what if we get embarrassed? We take it on the chin and move on. Worst case scenario we finish fifth, or maybe sixth if we lose most of our matches. I don’t think we will be embarrassed but I don’t think we should be scared either. I actually think the most embarrassing thing is how scared...

    Agree but I don’t think we’re at that stage yet. This will be unpopular but I don’t think this result ultimately matters. The same as when Arsenal lost to us a couple years ago. They were playing a longer game of building something whereas we were heading to another dead end. We need to think...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    The main issue I have is people keep taking about Arsenal like Arteta took over this season. He’s been there since 2019. It’s 2024 now. Look at their league positions during his first seasons. Look at how we took them to pieces during Conte’s first season. We laughed our heads off in here when...

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

    How often do you watch other teams play? Which clubs below us are regularly smashing it? West Ham? Man U?

    They do, but not before they have an established style of playing and identity. The major issue we have since Pochettino left is we have no identity. Arsenal have an identity, Man C have an identity, Liverpool have an identity. They all have a signature way of playing. What do we have? The...

    They’re ten points behind us with six matches left. Even if we are terrible that’s ten points.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Again I would say they are at a totally different place to us. They’re five years into Arteta. Whereas we have had literally no identity or style of play since Pochettino left, except a kind of obsession that we need to win now. We’ve become obsessed with the idea of needing to win now which...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    It’s not arrogant at all. It’s a fact. We have been in the highest league in the country probably since before you were born, unless maybe you are 50? I would be pretty sure that 90% of posters on here can’t remember Tottenham not being in the PL/equivalent. None of the best teams change their...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Newcastle are a completely different proposition to us. Same as Villa. They are teams who were recently in the Championship. They are at a different stage in their journey. We have spent the last five years without any identity. The idea we should change tactics now because we are afraid of...
