    Why are we so concerned with Dele Alli and diving?

    I won't be surprised if Alli is the one the Talksport gammons all go mental about after we inevitably fail to win the World Cup. At least it'll mean Sterling will get a break from it, I guess...

    Fernando Llorente

    Good buy but feels very "transfer window 2011". I'm only going to be happy with this if it transpires we tried to get Leandro Damaio first.

    Team v CSKA

    It would be suicidal to go 4-4-2 with that team.

    Newcastle Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Radical new theory: none of this really matters, and we're all idiots for getting worked up about it. Might try working from that one for a while...

    Newcastle Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    I'm not actually watching, had a feeling this was going to happen all week. I'm normally quite positive (i.e. detached) on here, but only Spurs could manage to have a "great" season, and finish it in this crushingly disappointing way.

    Consensus on reverse St Totteringhams?

    It's a personal thing, but I can't ever be bothered with football "banter", as it's pretty transient and always comes back to bite you on the arse. Any Gooner I know worth their salt would simply draw my attention to the 1995-2015 period.

    We should be targeting ex-players

    "Hello, is that Gylfi? Spurs here. We really want you to try and win your next game." "Er... ok." "Brilliant, cheers."

    Tottenham Vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Thread

    I think we've got them rattled now.

    Tottenham Vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Thread

    This Dortmund team would disembowel Arsenal.

    Tottenham Vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Thread

    It's not pessimistic or defeatist to acknowledge that Dortmund are currently several levels above us. We're on the right track with this excellent young squad, and things could still get very exciting in the PL, but we're at least a couple of years off being able to live with a team like this.

    Borussia Dortmund Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    If we'd played the "first eleven", there is absolutely every chance we'd still be losing 1-0. Dortmund are extremely good. They'd probably be 10-12 points clear in the PL this season. At home, they get all over teams from the first minute, and they're pretty much the best team in the world at...

    Borussia Dortmund Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    If I was a billionaire, I'd offer Robbie Savage an un-turndownable amout of money to shut up forever.

    What is our best full back combination?

    I don't know if it's right to think of it in terms of which is "best". It's more what's needed for different games, against teams with different approaches.

    Borussia Dortmund

    I'm well happy we've drawn them. I want to see how we get on against teams like this, as next season we're probably going to be (censored due to not wanting to tempt fate)... I was in Dortmund for a night in September, on a match day (sadly couldn't attend). The sea of luminous yellow at the...

    Player Watch: Nabil Bentaleb

    He's young and shows every sign that he's going to become a very good player. He didn't play particularly well yesterday, but after such a lengthy lay-off and sporadic selection that's hardly surprising.

    Why are Spurs doing so well?

    Basically, I've just said "let's take each game as it comes", haven't I?!?!?

    Why are Spurs doing so well?

    Of course there's loads of games to go and we still might finish 6th or whatever, but I'm excited by what I see every week. The organisation, the fitness levels, the confidence, the spirit. For me what is actually happening is as, if not more, exciting than what might happen.

    Crystal Palace Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Excellent. A real spirit and steel to this team. If I didn't have 126,734 better things to do, I'd go back and read some of the ridiculously dramatic posts from half-time.

    Kane back up

    It's the same every January - this is our best chance to get into the Top 4 so we HAVE TO ACT NOW etc... etc... Charlie Austin is so obviously not a Poch-type signing, and if he is on 100k a week then he's best avoided. We can post all we like about what we should and shouldn't be doing, who...

    Sitting near a numpty

    I don't really go any more because of the increasingly off-putting cost*numpties interaction. But I always remember a guy I used to sit near (Block 35) when we had Pascal Chimbonda (first time around I think) who, whenever Chimbonda would do anything - like ANYTHING at all, good or bad -...
