    Poch: In or Out? - You CAN change your vote

    If Levy/ENIC can come up with money for transfers and a wage structure good enough to keep and entice quality players in, I say keep. If they don't, I suspect he will take the decision to leave. COYS

    2019/2020 Predictions

    I see Shearer is coming up with new predictions after only a handful of games. Why do they do it? Apart from Man City and Liverpool competing for the top 2 places in the EPL last season, the bookies made a killing as all through the season in the EPL and CL, it was so topsy turvey with these...

    The Mauricio Pochettino thread

    This season is becoming excruciatingly frustrating for we supporters. This season we have a pretty good squad where we can put out a strong side with a half decent bench. Despite this we have managed to throw away 3 games where we we playing well and in front. I have read some posts with very...

    The Mauricio Pochettino thread

    2019 has been poor for us, especially away from home. Had the season started on January the 1st, we would be among the teams trying to avoid relegation. With all those teams that win the big trophies, it is the managers that get the praise for it. And if teams are losing and doing poorly, it is...

    Match Threads Leicester vs Spurs - Match Thread

    We can't be making excuses anymore. At the start of the season there was every reason to feel confident that this was going to be the season we proved we were a genuine top 4 team with every chance we could win some silverware. The results and the performances don't lie. This season so far, for...

    Genuine question

    I often don't fully understand what he says in interviews so I have no chance in understanding why he runs hot and cold in responding when a goal is scored. I sometimes think keeping people puzzled is part of his game plan. Perhaps he is going through a mid life crisis which we men have several...

    The Race for the Title 2019/20

    Being a Spurs supporter since 1950, it is now before every match - as someone who was 80 in July, without alcoholic stimulants to calm my nerves, I would be risking a heart attack!!!!! COYS

    The Race for the Title 2019/20

    Halfway through last season there was talk from the pundits we would be challenging the top 2 for the title and it was unlikely we would get through to the KO stages of the CL. We got 4th place by the skin of our teeth and got to the final of the CL!!. Isn't it a tad early to be making...

    Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Thread

    I think many of us using this forum have struggled to understand why Verts has not been used and Christian has been given so little playing time. Tomorrow's team selection will be interesting and, depending on the result, should provide some very interesting posts after the match. Lose and much...

    Llorente to join Napoli

    I for one feel sad he wasn't kept on. He was a bloody good plan B and without him we wouldn't have reached the CL Final. Such a shame he didn't play his last game against our opener against Villa and when the fans could have given him the send off he richly deserved. COYS

    Tottenham and our slow starts

    It irks me too. In my humble opinion, this is entirely Poch's doing. He is the gaffer and the players presumably are dancing to his tune. He has done fantastically well in many areas, but I feel he is over zealously stubborn in one area. That is his insistence on a slow build up passing game...

    The VAR Thread

    I was watching a discussion on VAR and they said,the EPL had adopted a different system to all the other European countries. Apparently with them the VAR ref is only an assistant. They ask the game ref to look at the slo mo shots from different angles of the game he decides whether to stick or...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Newcastle - Match Thread

    For me, the tactics of continually resorting to simply playing a possession game just moving the ball between players without actually creating scoring opportunities is an utter waste of time. It is so easy to play against. After 5 minutes I knew we would struggle to create scoring chances...

    Team v Newcastle (H)

    For me this is spot on. I think it is crucial we win and win well this game after the shaky nerve jangling start. Jan and Vert are tried and tested and have been a formidable pairing so seem an obvious choice (this not a game to rotate). If. Lo Celso is as good as they say, then he shouldn't...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread

    Hopefully, with us still having last year's players and Villa a dozen newbies, the game should be very much in our favour. We all know from our years of experience supporting Spurs, it is dangerous to be too overconfident, but for once I am feeling quite calm and am going for a reasonably...

    The Tennis Thread

    The real testament should go to the 37 year old Lopez who, in the space of 24 hours, played almost 10 hours of strength sapping tennis to win both the singles and doubles. Last season I heard managers and players complaining at having to play 2 ninety minute matches in 3 days!!! Lopez's feat was...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    I find it difficult to decide with aspiring top managers just how well their last season went. Different clubs have differ strengths in their squads, different levels of injuries and suspensions, different amounts of luck both good and bad. I didn't follow Derby too much so don't know whether he...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all wonder what's going on at United?

    WTF indeed. I watched it through twice and still have no idea what the gormless pratt was going on about. Was he chuffed? Was he angry? Just what was his message. I had heard to be a Rags support it required have to have any brain that may have been there removed. He perhaps he is living proof...

    Player Watch : Vincent Janssen

    Fingers crossed there is some truth to this. I really hope Lo Celso comes to us and it also solves the problem of unloading Janssen who, with his recent history of injuries and uninspiring performances on the field, is not exactly one who will sell easily. COYS
