    Tottenham Vs WBA: Match Thread

    Really thought today was dire. In some aspects - the passing, the set piece defending,for example, I actually think it was as bad as Liverpool. We were against inferior opposition and had 11 men throughout.Foster didn't have many saves to make and our final ball was found wanting time after...

    Sunderland Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Really encouraging signs tonight. Yes, we should have won by more but how many chances did we create? More than I can think of this season. Special mention for Capoue who was excellent - biggest compliment is that I didn't really notice Jan wasn't there. Good signs regarding the balance of the...

    AVB Stay or go *now with added poll for your pleasure*

    Obviously gutted with the result and the performance. Things need to change and quickly. But to say AVB should be sacked is embarrassing. What have Spurs fans become? How can we demand loyalty from our players and managers when other teams come in for them when he don't give them support while...

    Lennon

    And people wonder why AVB criticises the fans? Yeah, let's criticise a player who has played over 250 games for the club who is just coming back from injury and is playing for large parts in a unfamiliar position. Let's write him off as not good enough and disregard his performances when we got...

    Lennon

    I think Lennon can only flourish playing on the right. He isn't suited to being an inverted winger. He doesn't have a powerful shot like Bale/Townsend. There is very little he can offer when he cuts in. He is running into a crowded area, away from a possible one on one with the fullback...

    Team vs Hull City (Capital One Cup)

    I'd like to see Lamela start behind the striker. I think Baldini has stated that no.10 is his preferred role and with his goals last season for Roma, he can really help us to score more. Would be a good game to try him there. Also would like to see Adebayor play some part. Yes his character is...

    Tottenham Vs Norwich: Match Thread

    Just back from the game. Really played in the style of AVB's Porto team today - pressed with high intensity and high up the pitch.We won the ball back in good areas up the pitch. Norwich could barely get out of their half some times as we suffocated them. Townsend was excellent - it is like...

    ARSENAL v SPURS: Match Thread

    From my reporter mate at the ground - Team today is the same XI that started against Swansea. With Lamela on the bench (not sure about Eriksen and Chiriches).

    Dembele

    Very talented player and was excellent in large parts last year, especially before his hip injury flared up in the secong half of the season. I just feel that with Capoue and Paulinho impressing so far and Sandro coming back from injury his place will be under threat. He too often slows play...

    2 wins, but lacking creativity

    Agree that we need more creativity but it is clear we are after someone who can see a pass.We had the same issue last season but it was often glossed over by Bale's form. That's why if we see Bale for £90m and buy Lamela and a creative talent we will be better off as a TEAM. Obviously we will...

    Etienne Capoue - Done

    Was at the game on Sunday and was so impressed. He is strong and bigger than I thought he would be. Passed the ball forward with purpose too. Dembele may well be looking over his shoulder although I think it is more of a case that we have so much squad depth now. Dembele was not fully fit at the...

    Sigardsson doesn't deserve to be a number 10 in our team

    Agree that he should be a good back up. The problem is that he doesn't have the pace to go past people or the skill to beat people. VDV was equally as slow but his goals, character and temperament more than made up for this and fully justified his place in the team. We suffered last season by...

    Chelsea Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Proud of the fighting spirit as I have been all season. We are not going away. Still in there. Parker and Hudd's deficiencies were all to clear tonight against their midfield. Although is that not a surprise - our back up midfield v 100 million worth of talent. Ade has his best game of the...

    Race for 4th (or higher) 4.0

    We are on course for our best Premier League points haul, best second half of the season in terms of points and more points than last season without Modric, VDV, King, Kaboul and Sandro for most of the season. If someone had offered us 65 pts after 35 games we would all have taken it. People...

    Race for 4th (or higher) 4.0

    Think we can still do it. Arse will get 4 pts - they will find St James' Park tough if Newcastle need a point to stay up. Think they will finish on 71 pts. We need 72 pts. Draw on Wed and win the remaining two. In fact Chelsea may play more defensively against us after the result today. A draw...

    Tottenham Vs Southampton: Match Thread KO 3:30

    Huge result. Poor performance yes but it is irrelevant if we win. My main point is that I think we have seen the end of Bale on the left. If he goes wide he has to go to the right so that he can cut inside and shoot like Robben. AVB has increasingly used Bale on the right recently (v City for...

    New striker options

    Commentators in the Sociedad v Valencia game mentioned that we had scouts at the game. Probably there to watch Soldado in particular esp as Antione Griezmann (talented winger we have been linked to )was suspended. Soldado would be one of the best strikers we could buy on our budget. Relief to...

    Tottenham Vs Man City: Match Thread

    Despite my initial doubts, Neville really is an excellent pundit. Good analysis and happy to be controversial/different when need be. I think his analysis tonight was particularly good. So often this season we have bemoaned the loss of Modric and rightly so. But not even Modric could supply a...

    Think they even managed one win against Spain in Euro 96!

    Basel Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    I might be wrong but are things like this ingrained in the club? The near misses, the despair? I know it is what makes us who we are in a way. But it is hard to take a lot of the time. 7 penalty shoot out losses in a row? That can't be normal - for any team apart from us. I afraid to say that...
