    Spurs 1-0 Saints - Mauricio's verdict

    How many of those who were bleating about the team selection in the Europa League were happy we had fresh legs yesterday?! Still not the best performance, but another important step in the right direction. Results matters and will give the team and, importantly, the boss a bit of breathing space.

    Pochettino 'angry and frustrated' after Spurs draw with Besiktas

    I think we need a little perspective too, despite the result. We had our second string out there against possibly there best first 11 and only for a stupid, stupid mistake we would have won. Yes, the performance wasn't great. our overall resilience over the last two games is welcoming and at...

    Spurs vs Besiktas - team news

    I think Vorm will start this one and you might see Paulinho in instead of Mousa.

    Archibald:Soldado needs better, earlier service to live up to £26m fee

    Soldado is a difficult one. With the system we play, we seem to look to the front man to provide as much as a link to bring the attacking three behind him into play as we do for them to get into the box and score. From what I've seen, Soldado can run the channels for us, but then we also need...

    Mauricio Pochettino accuses Tottenham players of showing lack of passion

    For me it all steams from a lack of action in the forward line. Ade just hasn't looked up to it and we need to see more from Lamela and Erickson moving forward. We also need to have a Plan B, which we lack.

    Can You Ever Stop Being a Spurs Fan?

    If, for example, you are not happy with the chairman then there are ways and means to express that. Not buying merchandise, stop going to matches etc. But to stop supporting the team is completely nonsensical to me.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE LAST DAY! 1st September 2014

    I think barring a Levy last minute masterstroke we have a great squad and we have finally trimmed a lot of the fat. When our players turn up in the morning they know they're part of the squad and part of MP's plans - so let's just get on with it already!!

    Are we getting left behind?

    You know what, you are exactly right. After following last night's game on Twitter and reading some other football related stuff today you'd think we were at the business end of the season, not the start of it. Too many people are quick to judge. According to the press, we should just give...

    Are we getting left behind?

    I understand the concern of the original comment but it is clear that - unless you have a billionaire take over your club - you need to be sensible when investing and I think our chairman is the best around at that. After our spending foray last summer and having such a sizeable squad, it only...

    West Ham v Spurs - team news

    Why is Vertongen included in everyone's line-up when the boss has stated that he won't be selected??!! I think Lloris, Lamela, Eriksen and Holtby are definite starters - Lamela to score our first of the season!!

    Are we ready?

    Personally, the one thing that I thought we lacked last season under AVB was a high tempo. It was pass-pass-pass without any real penetration but with the higher tempo we have displayed with Pouch I'm more convinced of our chances across the board. Unlike AVB's first season where players at the...

    Spurs open to offers for 11 players in desperate attempt to cut squad

    I can't see us letting so many homegrown players leave as that would mess up our quota overall (there was a good article on here last month about this). Getting the squad balance right is essential but after having so many players face 'first season syndrome' last year, why would we bet on more...

    Schneiderlin could hand in transfer request to force Tottenham move

    I'd love to see him sign, along with Rodrigez but I don't think it will happen now. It's all very well people dismissing the Saints' chairman's assertion that they won't be sold as some sort of bargaining chip but you have to remember this guy has already sold the rest of his key players, so...

    Who is going to be our surprise player of the season?

    I can't see Dembele fitting into the Pochettino style tbh. He's a bit too lethargic overall and I don't believe he'll deliver the required work rate. There ain't no passengers in this team - it's style and substance.

    Spurs close in on Southampton Duo

    Think this would be superb and allow us to sell off some dead wood. Exciting additions who will immediately fall into the new playing style.

    Who is going to be our surprise player of the season?

    Soldado - he has quality written all over him and I think Pouch can deliver the confidence he is so clearly lacking. Some of his touches are sublime and I think with a more attack focused team and players like Erickson and Lamela around him, he'll be in supply heaven and not starved like he was...

    2014-15 Fixtures - two London derbies first

    Two out of the first three fixtures could very quickly put some of the more nightmarish aspects of last season to bed. The Spammers made T-shirts after they beat us so many times last season and the Liverpool mauling was embarrassing - win those games and we can really start to put a positive...

    Lamela has Spurs future as Pochettino blocks Juventus transfer bid

    Some fans are too quick to judge. Sandro, as many remember, had a mare of a first season and is now a fans' favourite. I have no doubt that both Lamela and Soldado will prove their quality this season!

    Brad extends stay and takes on Ambassadorial role

    I think it's a good move all round. You don't throw away that kind of experience and all our recent managers have praised him for his professionalism and the example he sets. He'll also play a huge role in developing our brand in the USA, which is highly lucrative. But I'd be surprised if we...

    Lewis Holtby looking for fresh start under new manager

    He's a player who will definitely suit what we hope will be our new style of play and I think after being at Fulham he'll be keen to come in and make his mark. I really hope he can!
