    Game for Game Comparison 23/24

    Couldn't see one of these and thought it would be interesting to compare the results of this season's games, to their equivalent games last season. The three promoted teams replace the three relegated teams. 18th (Leicester) = 1st in the Championship (Burnely), 19th (Leeds) = 2nd in the...

    Let's talk about pace

    Pace is a bit of a buzz word for Spurs fans. Every summer, we have the same clamour for players with pace. Pace is the key to unlock the defences that so stubbornly sit before us. Pace was the answer to a small pitch at White Hart Lane, and pace is the answer to make the most of the space at...

    Let's talk about the wage bill

    In many ways and at many times we've been praised for keeping our wage budget under control, but increasingly there's pressure mounting on all sides about the size of our wage budget, and player salaries compared to those of our rivals. I'm not sure it's an even split, but there's definitely...

    Does the best team = the team that wins?

    The "what our opponents fans are saying" thread has over the past few days descended into an extended discussion about whether the best team and the team that wins must be one and the same. To save that thread being derailed further still, let's bring the discussion in here...

    The Case for Eric Dier

    Yesterday was marked by the announcing of the shortlists for the PFA player of the year awards. Harry Kane was nominated for both, and Dele Alli nominated for the young player award.

    Now what?

    Right, with that tricky month of November out of the way how are people feeling about our chances? Over the past couple of months people have been pointing toward this recent period of games as being our toughest stretch that will really show what we're made of. Well, we've remained unbeaten...
