    Joe Kinnear has died

    Sad news. I met Joe once in his days as assistant manager at Wimbledon. We were at Club Med in the Algarve. They were on a mid-season break, we were on a company thing. Really nice fella. Modest, unassuming, great company and stood his round - no side to him. He will be missed.

    Archie Gray

    Saw him in the Plymouth cup match and he oozed class. Pedigree doesn't always out with footballers as mindset is so important but this guy seems to have it all. His dad Andy was a great player and uncle Eddie was a class apart. His pedigree is impeccable but Leeds - hopefully not inextricably.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Cristian Romero

    Torn between being delighted with the goal and wondering what he was doing there. I guess we needed an aerial threat with Richarlison out and now we've got our heads around meandering full-backs, Ange has moved on to goal-hanging centre-backs.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Brentford -

    Could've watched the UK emission but chose to watch it in French on Canal+. Commentator was female and balanced. Perfect.

    Antonio Nusa

    Yes, there were players ahead of him in his position but it must have been even more off-putting to see that even if nobody is available in your position, you still don't get game time. Ask Dorrington, Philips and even Donley.

    Antonio Nusa

    Make that four snaps. I would have been eight. I remember being in the crowd at High Cross to see the open-top bus parade. How many oldies does it take to make a Nusa transfer happen?

    Antonio Nusa

    Probably the Jo Nesbo influence. ;-)

    Don't disagree about how he should have responded - however we don't know whether he was sick like his ream-mates. Calling players out is easy and not necessarily helpful.

    The lack of confidence might have originated from being wiped out by Wan-Bissaka in the first five minutes.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Is he easing in Donley?

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    Rico Lewis looks a consummate Ange's style of football player.

    Player Paulo Dybala

    Was equivocal on this one. Couldn’t shake off the feeling that he has a lot of distractions going on off the field which may have contributed to his dip in form. Dele-like. Happy with the guys we’ve signed. They all seem focussed and a good fit with the Poch ethos. Shame about BF - he looks...

    Bruno Fernandes

    Better keep an eye on the one that’s parked and probably refuelling at Biggin Hill. If it heads for Lisbon the public have a right to know!

    Player Paulo Dybala

    And again, Ajax? No, another turn and it’s descending - Southend? London City?
