    Mourinho 'angry' with Alli for creating 'problems for his own team'

    I think Jose is frustrated with two problems. 1. Dele is a technically excellent player who can read the game, but he falls short of his own abilities. 2. Dele loves to show off. It's a weakness, We've seen the training ground videos where he delights in nutmegging his fellow squad members...

    David, I think someone's having a laugh at our expense. The document indicates the stadium will be built in just a year. Moreover £188.2m is a suspiciously precise figure and there's the clue: 1882. A red herring or, given the auspicious date, a blue and white one...

    . Currently our pitch dimensions are 100m x 67m. Any new stadium must observe the rules of the Premier League, which dictate a pitch size of 105m x 68m (rule K.15).

    The Outsiders: understanding Tottenham Hotspur's daring rebuilding project

    OK, I've been told to 'watch it'. I feel I was defending a position and I hold to that defence. I think the use of the term 'soccer' is perfectly valid and disagree with spud. However I acknowledge I have been a bit over the top in my criticism of him or her and apologise for that!

    The Outsiders: understanding Tottenham Hotspur's daring rebuilding project

    . . Spud, you are a silly little person. 1. The dictionary says it is a colloquialism. It does not say it is a bastardisation. 2. You said I was 'preaching'. Go back and read your unpleasant post. I didn't like your attitude then, and I like your attitude even less now. It betokens a small...

    The Outsiders: understanding Tottenham Hotspur's daring rebuilding project

    Actually I'm only ever condescending to people like you who refuse to have insight into their ignorance and start insulting others as compensation. You are just plain wrong. Soccer is a perfectly good word. It is a colloquialism not a bastardisation. According to the Oxford English...

    The Outsiders: understanding Tottenham Hotspur's daring rebuilding project

    No preaching, little fella, just some plain old home truths. Let me enlighten you a bit more. There was a single game of football with varying rules played in the public schools and universities. Handling was allowed. 1863 marked a turning point where an attempt was made to create a single set...

    The Outsiders: understanding Tottenham Hotspur's daring rebuilding project

    . Please wise up, especially in this, the anniversary year. 'Soccer' is an established English term for 'association foot ball', a term that distinguished it from 'rugby football' or 'rugger'. I remember its use when I was a kid a few decades ago, and it remains correct English usage. Yes, we...

    I think the plan is to have a climbing wall between the door of the college and ground level. It will add an 'adventure' dimension to getting in and out of college.

    That's a bit gloomy... but I think you might be mixing up the needs associated with naming rights and those associated with corporate hospitality. For naming rights I'm not sure the precise location of the stadium is as important as the fact that the name will feed into the global...

    Reminds me of Santiago Calatrava's work, the organic arcs of the stations at Liège or Lyon, which are astonishing to 'experience'. All this kind of thing has long been possible through CAD, of course. Old news.

    . Nice one, Krafty. I look out for this column; it's very well written and full of good insight. I agree on Adebayor. I'd add that he went off the boil in the last game when shown the yellow card just before half time. After the red earlier in the season, he must be terrified of ham-stringing...

    Thanks, yes, I had discounted #8222, not because it isn't interesting and informative but because it is both a completely different entity and one where the whole 'line', as it were, is already enabled by a commercial sponsor, something that does not apply to a Network Rail station. If that's...
