    Mauricio Pochettino makes Tottenham point amid Chelsea pressure

    He said he got to make a plan at Tottenham but was given one which he has to get on with at Chelsea. That felt to me like a nice way of saying, "this isn't all my fault".

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    It would be really painful for my sense of excitement, and a point (or 6) is needed to maintain my increasing detachment from reality. However, in reality, it is very early days in the new system and this system is one where the right teams might just score a hat-full against us. I'd still...

    Player Jonathan David

    Also worth asking, how many of those penalties David scored did he win for himself?

    “I have to do the job” – Richarlison on frustration with himself, knows the pressure is on

    He always seems very hard on himself. That's good and bad. Great he always wants to do better, prove he was worth the money we spent on him, etc. Bad if it stops him feeling free and playing freely. I think he could get a decent return, given time. Not HK reincarnate, but decent.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th August

    I hadn't looked into it but it seems he can't have been concussed otherwise it's minimum 19 days: https://www.thefa.com/-/media/files/pdf/my-football/the-fa-concussion-guidelines-2019.ashx

    Match Threads Brentford vs Spurs

    It's worth remembering how good Kane often was at the start of a season... He sometimes needed to get up to speed. He was also a permanent fixture in the team whereas Richy hasn't had that advantage. I'm not saying Richy will reach Kanes giddy heights, but he's not had a consistent PL run in...

    Harry Kane

    If we think we have it bad, imagine how Richy is feeling... His season is hanging in the balance.

    Harry Kane

    The trouble is, if Kane genuinely wants to go and we genuinely want to get a particular fee for him and not get bent over a barrel, what are the choices exactly? Say 'no' and see Kane unhappy and feeling like he's stuck here? That's not going to work out well. I am sure Kane was happy that he's...

    It means that by the time he becomes great and Man City come calling, we still have a couple of years on the contract... 😂😂

    Joe Lewis and insider trading

    Um, you did very clearly seem to bundle all morality arguments into one pot. You didn't explicitly say it was just as bad - but you told everyone to stop going on about morals now Joe seems to have done something wrong... Allegedly, and for the (illegal) benefit of the people round him rather...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Quite right sidford. (apologies)

    Randal Kolo Muani

    I think the answer is, "it is impossible to say" - he would be playing somewhere else and may or may not be doing well. If he's looking great up front in training, banging them in, and Ange want's to play him as a striker, I'm all for it. If not, I won't be wondering why or losing sleep about...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    And, playing that game, it was nice to add in Randal and also Kane, Toney and Jesus. https://www.squawka.com/en/comparison-matrix/?compare=yIvLh0Z_OkhxKUn1yeVzn

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Looks like he has an awareness and is thinking ahead. That's harder to teach. He could be properly awesome in a couple of years. (Him and Ndombele).

    Kylian Mbappe

    🤣 Loving this thread. Some actual LOL moments. [Here's where I need to bring it back on track by saying that we are one of the richest clubs and Levy should stop nickel and diming it and just pay the going rate. If he genuinely cared about the club and finding the right replacement for Kane he...

    Ooh! David Bentley? (and Bent, come to think of it!) I remember that only too well...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I thought he completely smashed that presser. I've not seen anyone look so comfortable, particularly at avoiding the difficult questions while sounding believable. His interviews just before leaving Celtic, where he refused to take the bait on his future and still sounded pleased to be there...

    Scott Munn’s Tottenham start date delayed after prolonged exit from CFG

    Let's just say it's true and Munn hasn't been doing anything for us. That blows my theory about why we have been so decisive in the transfer market or of the water. Can it really be Levy?

    Pre-Season 2023/24

    To me he looked like someone walking to the head master's office for a rendezvous with the cane. If I were going somewhere I had no friends, thought people probably didn't like me and wanted me gone, I'd walk like that with my hood up and glasses on. He's got no reason to look forward to turning...
