    JFK, blown away! What else do I have to say?

    Harry Kane

    So I think you’ve misunderstood me, I agree that purely as a striker, he is one of the best in the world. But that view doesn’t take in the context of the situation. He has one year left on his contract and, not for the first time, he has made it clear to another club he wishes to play for them...

    Harry Kane

    He probably is. My point isn’t whether he is objectively better than us or not. The point is he thinks he is and in a position of leadership once he thinks that and doesn’t want to be there it’s not going to be great for morale.

    Harry Kane

    I actually think we’d be better without him. The caveat being I probably think that out of forced acceptance but the whole saga feels like a British mannered version of Ronaldo/Man Utd. He clearly thinks, and has thought since at least the City shambles, that he is better than to play for...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    I was thinking from a PSG perspective, why would they want him? Even if (big if) they got him playing to his potential, they’d have 4 outfield players who are completely redundant when PSG don’t have the ball. That might be fine against Ligue 1 teams but since they are obsessed with winning the...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    And this is what concerns me, I think doing about a 3rd to half of that work and Levy would consider he has “backed” Conte.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    There seems to be an assumption that Levy either backs Conte or he doesn’t like this is binary and not a word that can be interpreted differently. Conte has felt like he has not been backed by the chairman at every club he has managed. Arguably Levy probably feels he has backed every manager he...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I seem to be in a slight minority here but I was really encouraged by yesterday’s game. I thought there were a lot more positives than negatives to take away. I haven’t watched that many live games this season so perhaps I am unburdened by bias of watching the turgid performances by certain...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    And who, may I ask, told City the offer would be accepted? Charlie fucking Kane! You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

    FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

    I am surprised that so many of you seem to think Levy’s ‘plan’ was more than “let’s choose the cheapest candidate who wants the job and hope for the best”.

    Summer 2021 Window Rating

    I think one of the most concerning things about this window, which shouldn’t be overlooked, is that there were quite a few players we were after (Kounde, Pau etc) who didn’t want to come to us because we couldn’t offer CL football.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th August 2021

    Whilst I completely agree he is wasting his obvious talent, that is his choice to make. By all accounts he is holding his side of his contract up (turning up to training, would play if selected etc). No one forced Spurs to sign him on a lengthy contract for £200k a week. Likewise no one forced...

    Pape Matar Sarr

    People have such short memories, need I remind you of a certain french midfielder; brown mop top hair, dazzling feet, a hit with the ladies and former PSG player? Benjamin Stambouli, of course.

    Harry Kane

    I like the fact he unnecessarily clarified that this was only a metaphorical d-day and we should not, in fact, prepare to storm the beaches of Normandy.

    Club or Country?

    I have to say though, the past 2 years I was becoming increasingly apathetic to all things football. The unceremonious sacking of Poch, the Mourinho appointment. The subsequent turgid football that followed, the attempted furloughing of staff, then the Super Leage debacle and firing off Mourinho...

    Club or Country?

    Being a Spurs, England and Labour supporter means I get to perpetually taste gut wrenching defeat.... which is nice.

    Takehiro Tomiyasu

    I won a competition as a junior Spurs member (a poetry one I I remember correctly) and I got to watch a training session and have a meet and greet with the players afterwards. Him and Stefan Freund were the only players who stayed and had an actual conversation with me and my dad. Most signed my...

    Milan Skriniar

    I’m sorry, and perhaps this says more about my Sherwood-like mentality to football tactics, but are we all just pretending that a ‘medium block’ is an actual footballing football tactic, in football?

    Match Threads Leyton Orient vs Spurs - 3rd Round Carabao Cup

    Serge is caught out of position, panics and rushes back, hacking down little Jimmy in the box. They convert the penalty and get through to the next round. Little Jimmy needs to use a scribe to transcribe for his SATs due to screws he’s had to have in right wrist. We’ve been here before!

    Match Threads Leyton Orient vs Spurs - 3rd Round Carabao Cup

    There’s a sadistic part of me that would really enjoy us knocking seven bells out of a Orient under 13s side... then there’s my spurs anxiety worried that we might lose.
