    Why don’t defenders lift up the goalkeepers when defending a corner?

    I feel like this is an utterly stupid or interesting question. (Depending on which way you choose to look at it) But I just watched the England game where Sczeszczczszny (sp?) got fouled from a corner and it got me to thinking... Regardless of how ineffective or brilliant it might be, is...

    A question about coaching world class players...

    Ok. I'll keep this as brief as possible. Basically I was thinking just now about our defence and how we largely seem to have a sweeper of sorts when the other defenders venture up the pitch.

    Pundits who pronounce names wrongly...

    I would expect football pundits to be able to correctly pronounce the names of the players they are passing comment on. But no. That's too much to ask sometimes. So I've created a list of (current Spurs) names I've heard recently pronounced completely wrongly. I've done my best to spell them...

    Do we go about things correctly?

    Will Chelsea throw the Leicester game?

    As per thread title. If it means we miss out on the title, do you think Chelsea, being the poo-infested dog bin they are, will allow Leicester to win? Fabregas all but confirmed it the other night when we played football against the rugby lads. I'm certainly expecting a stronger Chelsea...

    In one word, describe your current feelings about THFC.

    Yes. We're a well run club, but...

    WE. NEVER. WIN. ANYTHING. Glory?!? It's a shame you don't get special mention for having the tidiest accounts... The reason I post this is because I was talking to my dad the other day about the newest signings and he was very jaded. He was basically like, "we never win...

    Reported in the papers this morning according to Talk Sport. The credibility of this info is obviously sketchy, but even so.
