    Utilising our squad - formations

    So, we have no idea which manager will be coming in, or which DoF, and definitely don't know who will be making decisions about signing players etc. This got me thinking. The last thing we need is another complete revolution, with a fire sale to get rid of players the new team don't want, and...

    7th or 8th? What do you prefer? ECL or not?

    So, groundhog day has basically been guaranteed, we're missing out on the EL to West Ham of all clubs! 7th would get us into the shithouse of a competition that would be an embarrassment to even win! A third tier European league where the winners get into the EL - which just a couple of...

    Fixtures, Wycombe & Liverpool

    How come we have no game from now til Monday 25th when we play Wycombe? Then just a couple of days till the PL game against Liverpool? Make no sense!

    WW formation

    One of Poch's best moves IMO was when he had Dier playing as a DM-Sweeper in line with two attacking FBs (in effect wing-backs). That allowed us to either drop into a flat back five, or if one FB was stuck upfield, for Dier to drop in and everyone shifted across to create a flat back 4. When...

    Everton going for top 4

    Everton are really putting down a market this summer. So far Pickford Michael Keane Klassen Sandro Ramirez All young, talented and sensible but exiting signings. Hope they overtake Liverpool.

    Where to post about a player that could be good signing?

    Ok, this is based on just one games's highlights, so I would appreciate if anyone else has a better view. Helder Costa, the wolves player on loan from Benfica has scored 9 goals this season and looked really exciting against Liverpool (second string) yesterday. Seemed full of running, happy to...

    Anti Spurs bias on BBC

    Was reading through a report on BBC and this struck me Tottenham ready 'for big things' Spurs travel to Manchester City on 21 January and will do so buoyed by seven wins in a row, including one over leaders Chelsea on 4 January. They are second in the table, although Liverpool and Manchester...

    England squad, embarrassment of riches

    Looking forward to 2016 Euro squad, we seem to have an embarrassment of riches, mainly young talent. Goalkeeper. Joe Hart is the obvious choice but Butland is playing great, Forster is showing his class and Foster is playing really well too. At right back, Walker is sure to go and Clyne too...

    is January going to be the most boring transfer window ever for us?

    Looking through our squad, we have really decent players such as Dembele & Mason not assured of a first team place. We have others such as Bentaleb coming back from injury who will have to wait for a chance too. We have decent recent signings such as Davies, Trippier and Wimmer who only get...

    Good to see

    Tottenham team-mates Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen have proved their relationship is just as strong off the pitch as on it. Kane tweeted a picture of himself and Eriksen with their partners in New York. (BBC)

    experience and maturity.

    Our biggest problem last year was individual mistakes and decisions which cost us goals and ultimately games. For me this came down to a lack of experience and maturity. The likes of Mason and Bentaleb and even Lamela and Eriksen are excellent but they are all young and likely to make...

    hilarious prediction on BBC

    http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/31993167 Phil McNumpty predicts how the top four race will pan out. He's got us to beat Villa and Hull and draw the other six! We've drawn five games in the league all season and we're going to draw six of our last eight? Rofl

    Why we need a defensive coach.

    I've just written a column for the first time - in the column section. Here it is. After another really frustrating loss we lick our wounds and look ahead to the next game. Pochettino and the Spurs fans are justifiably proud of the way our very young team played against a team full of...

    Why we need a defensive coach.

    After another really frustrating loss we lick our wounds and look ahead to the next game. Pochettino and the Spurs fans are justifiably proud of the way our very young team played against a team full of expensive world class players. We point to the fact four academy players started yesterday...

    Alpari - West Ham sponsor in liquidation

    Yesterday's Swiss franc re valuation has caused West Ham's shirt sponsor Alpari to go into liquidation.

    Winston Reid

    Winston Reid was rumoured to be a target of ours last January. He's out of contract in the summer and made it very clear he's not re-signing with West Ham. Arsenal are apparently very interested in him to the extent that they are rumoured to be making a £3m bid to get him now. I really hope he...

    Capoue / DM

    I'm getting very worried by the way our midfield gets sliced through. Mason and Bentaleb are very very good players and Mason in particular can out himself about a bit, but neither are proper defensive midfielders. Dembele keeps the ball well and uses his strength and Stambouli hassles and...

    Eriksen or Van der Vaart?

    Eriksen has just got another crucial last minute goal. Who's better and who's been more important to the team, Eriksen or Van der Vaart?

    do you discount Chelsea and ManCity?

    I've realised that I completely discount Chelsea and Man City games. Of course I hope we can get some sort of results against them but I don't get upset or annoyed when we lose. Frankly, as far as I'm concerned it's like playing a Football Manager tournament where one player has got cheat codes...

    You can't win anything with kids

    Lots of our youngsters are impressing on loan or here at Spurs. Alex Pritchard is the latest one, having already scored 3 goals and 2 assists for Brentford and proving a key player in the Championship. Bentaleb who impressed last year and at the World Cup is back fit. Walker is coming back in...
