    'The best team lost': Mourinho takes aim at Klopp after Liverpool snatch top spot

    He truly believes the best team lost and Klopp believes it’s possible but believes more in his own interpretation of Pool being the best team. They respect each other’s idea of what constitutes the ‘best team’ because they’re brilliant managers at the top of their game who understand that...

    England captain Harry Kane’s Range Rover ‘stolen’

    Never having owned a fancy car nor even a new one I’m out of my depth with all the electronics and hacking talk, but surely to sell a stolen car it’d need to be shipped overseas somewhere the VIN counts for nothing, and shipping would take a big chunk out of any profit. There must be a break...

    Harry Kane

    You’re probably right. ?

    Harry Kane

    Not really. Spurs have been a top side throughout Harry’s career and top sides score a lot of goals, whether or not they take home the trophies. He’s never lacked for on-field support.

    How has Bale done at Real?

    Lately I've read this very article more or less paraphrased in several publications and it's so sad. Reads like an obituary. They missed out the best bits ... "he'll always be a left back nah more of a wing-back get a defensive left-back in and he's the left side of our attack no wait better in...

    Jose Mourinho

    Back to the José Mourinho of the thread title (though no doubt this has already been said), he "has issued a not so subtle reminder that he remains a “Special One” by emphasising that Tottenham’s Premier League record since he succeeded Mauricio Pochettino last November is the fourth-best in the...

    Jose Mourinho

    Agreed, and it's also the old cliches about leading by example and having the players' respect. David Beckham is similarly inarticulate but he's been inspirational to innumerable young players seeking to emulate his playing style, footballing intelligence and drive to win.

    Eric Dier targeting dominant defender status

    Sorry if I wasn't clear but that's actually what I meant, not that M and P coach the team to build the play from the back but that building an impenetrable centre back wall was and is the first priority.

    Eric Dier targeting dominant defender status

    Yes, although Poch too was building from the back before our Belgians started going to seed.

    Dele Alli at Everton

    The 'racist' tag is a far harder stain to wash off than the 'naughty boy' tag, which doesn't even look too bad after a while. Really gonna have to man up for this one.

    Dele Alli at Everton

    He's not a bigot, he's just a silly boy. I'm glad this happened because it'll be the making of him. Since his golden boy arrival in the top flight he's been basking in it and languishing in a comfort zone doing just enough to keep the shine on while barely progressing at all, as a footballer and...

    Jermaine Jenas will be the man to replace Gary Lineker on Match of the Day

    Lineker wasn't charismatic as a player or a pundit but he grew into it just by fronting up on the telly every week. I think JJ would be good -- he's bright and still pro-Spurs.

    Spurs to make new offer for Krzysztof Piatek ‘in next few hours’

    According to Wiki, “Although flattered by the comparisons with a star compatriot Robert Lewandowski, Piątek has named Harry Kane as his role model”. Shouldn’t mind being his understudy then.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Sheffield United - Match Thread

    It’s been a fair few years since l cut football from the list of things I care about but I’ve done it this weekend. Football’s just one amusement among multitudes and when it ceases to amuse it loses its purpose. In the 45 years I’ve been a fan I’ve done this cyclically, which I suppose makes me...

    Sissoko questions Pochettino's tactics following defeat to Bayern

    So do I, Pedro.

    Match Threads Leicester vs Spurs - Match Thread

    The hair’s breadth VAR decision was the best argument against VAR I’ve seen, and Pochettino’s continuing failure to play Lucas Moura remains unfathomable to me. Wanyama to protect a one goal lead when they always looked like scoring? Poch needs to stop blaming his players’ attitude and look to...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread

    Awful start to the season. All raring to go with shiny new stadium and players but with the latest kick-off of the weekend at 2:30am I'll have to record it and watch it tomorrow. Don't tell me what happened.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY SPECIAL!

    Odd that in the same breath you assume Eriksen's outgoing and nobody's incoming, almost like you don't realise all clubs are playing the same transfer game. Extremes of pessimism and optimism go mad in here and the centre ground is a lonely place. Anyway, while the clock's ticking down I'm going...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

    Remember when Modric wanted out? His heart and head weren't in it until the transfer window closed with him still at Spurs and he knuckled down and played a great final season for us. I'd expect Eriksen to do the same.
