    Next Manager Watch

    I'm going to make a case for Potter as I did in 2021 (doesn't duck for cover, but stands there covered in shit) and I get why people don't want him, especially now. AND I would be happy with Slot, Nagelsmann, Poch, Gallardo or Postecoglou for various reasons, mainly that they play progressive...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Agreed. Conte is here to win the league and we're four players short in the first team: LCB, two wing backs (as much as Doherty has improved) and a CM. Get players in of the quality of Bentancur and Kulusevski or even better, Romero, and we're challenging next season. And then a bench of...

    Arsenal

    I'm staying wildly optimistic because what's the point otherwise! So, 10 games to go each. I think it's safe to assume that we all agree that we need to beat them. So that would be 9 games left each with 3 points between us. That is doable. I believe we have turned the consistency corner and...

    Football 'What Ifs'

    I think about things like this all the time. I still haven't got over the 87 Cup Final defeat. What if we'd won the European Cup in 62 and the treble that season as we could and possibly should have. That team would be talked about forever throughout English football. But more recently what...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th August 2021

    Donated you magnificent bastards. I don't post that much but whatever is happening I can always come on here and laugh my tits off (except in the matchday thread!). Cheers to all x

    Aaaaand, I did ask for it! Thank you all, especially Galahad. Enjoy your days. COYS!

    Player Watch: Bryan Gil

    OK, so Bryan Gil (Ryan Hill) is the signing I've been most excited about for years. He looks like an absolute boss. Can't wait to set him tear it up. Anyway, I've got my brother-in-law - not a fan of any club - into him through his YouTube clips and he can't wait either. So, he came up with...

    Harry Kane

    100%. The nonsense being spouted is moronic and tiresome. They never once tried to sell Gerrard when Liverpool were struggling (7th, 6th, 8th, 7th from 2009 - 2013). I think the best thing we could do with Kane is to get him to sign a new contract and then loan him out to Madrid for next...

    Gareth Bale - Squad Number

    Indeed he did. We've got a strange association with the number 9 as I can't remember anyone bar Berbatov wearing it while being our best striker. It just doesn't seem a very special number for strikers at Spurs. 10 - Hoddle (obvs not a striker) Lineker, Sheringham, Keane, Kane (why does he wear...

    Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

    Why don't you tell us who we are allowed to be condescending to and not? :)

    Realistic expectations for 2020-21?

    Agree with everything you've said here. It's totally reasonable to expect the club to buy mid range priced players to complete our squad. We're actually really close to having a very good side and squad...it is frustrating.

    Realistic expectations for 2020-21?

    You're right - he's not an idiot. He's a very smart man. And he's compromised with a very gettable list of players and he's expecting Levy to compromise too and get them in. Surely we can *at least* get a right back and back up striker in before the season starts. That is not a big expectation...

    Realistic expectations for 2020-21?

    I don't agree that he's fully justified at all. The pandemic has been going on since March, José, we are told, has identified very realistic / gettable players and we've had offers for two players he wants out. His insistent haggling over fees costs us season after season in not being able to...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    I agree with your first paragraph and think this is very fair. BUT he is our record signing and he did look like he didn't give a shit in some games in terms of his workrate. And that's really, really disappointing. He threw himself under the bus with those performances. I really hopes he...

    Jose Mourinho

    Couldn't agree with this more. Henry said he was the best defender he ever played against. Whenever me and my mates do our all time Premier XI after way too many beers, King is always in my team. No one else really understands. Could have played for anyone. And did it all with one knee. Amazing...
