    Eric Dier wants to quit Tottenham after contract talks collapse

    I think "contract talks have broken down" = he wasn't offered a contract. Of course he wants to hang on until the end, go for free and get a better wage. Might as well let him go by mutual termination, saves everyone money. Nothing against Dier, we bought him cheap, I don't think he was ever...

    Match Ratings Ratings vs Wolves

    Perišić without a doubt for me. Pure quality in his role, and feels like he knows exactly what Conte wants. Jenas somewhat incomprehensibly gave it to Højbjerg. Kulusevski continued his indifferent form in the first half, but in the second something clicked and he got back to being the...

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 21/22

    Much as I hate to contimplate it, in a few years we might be looking at City and Newcastle disputing the title every year. City were yo-yo relegaters and no hopers before the infusion of boundless riches, and that only, made them where they are today. No reason the same won't happen to...

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 21/22

    I might be getting old and my memory is not what it used to be, but...wait, what was I going to say, oh yeah, as I recall the whole concept of "top four", "big four", "sky four" etc., I'm pretty sure only started when 4th place meant CL. Before that, finishing 4th or 5th had no particular...

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 21/22

    I might get pilloried for it, but I, also, have always loathed Chelsea more than Arsenal. And I mean always, even before they were Chelski and turned from one kind of horrible into another kind (hard to say which is worse). Arsenal on the other hand, I hate in a more friendly way. Frankly their...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    He's not blathering plap. You can just look at where were are now and where we were when he came on. I think he's shown what he brings. It's not like some highly hyped manager arriving at ManU and making them worse. Since he came we're another level. Levy you're a smart fellow, just give him...

    I voted Hugo because in the end of the day today he was sure hands and keep it cool. But for sure Sess is getting better and better and again today

    Match Ratings Ratings vs Aston Villa

    It was day and night when Eriksen came on. After that, I just assumed we were going to win. And, infinitely more importantly, since (luckily for us) I'm not out there on the pitch, the players did clearly too.

    1. Please offer Eriksen anything he wants. 2. Actually my fav moment before the end bit where we actually scored and won was Winks' tackle then recovery then little sidefoot

    What our opponents' fans are saying about us 18/19

    Obviously, I would want us to win against any opposition. If we weren't in the final, I'd want anyone to win against Liverpool. Anyone. I'd be screaming my lungs out in support of Arsenal or Chelsea. It's sad but so. And even, I don't have anything against any of their players, or their coach...

    What our opponents' fans are saying about us 18/19

    Maybe I'm in a minority, but I'd be really unhappy if we got bought by some moneybags and became a Chelsea/City/PSG. I wouldn't stop supporting the club, but I think probably I'd lose interest. Nothing we achieved would give really the same sort of pleasure as when we achieve (usually much less)...

    I lifetime of Spurs-supporting disappointment tells me that what just happened couldn't have happened...but it did. Ratings seem beyond it atm though

    Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

    If so, might want to go for that, hoping arse can't win by 5 :) Backup plan, got to keep all options on the table ;)

    Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

    I mean I don't want to sound pessimistic or anything, after all nothing we've seen lately would push one to pessimism, eh, right...but, just theoretically, you know if a team gets 5 red cards, the match is ended. What is the official score? As it stood? Not suggesting anything, purely...

    Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

    One perverse side of me would like to see Arse/Chelsea win the EL (but only if we were to win the CL). And, assuming City win the league, that would be 3 (possibly 4, if City were to - unlikely - lose the FA cup) English teams with major trophies. But not Liverpool. That would just be so...

    Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

    There can only be a maximum of 5 teams in the CL from one country, and cup winners take precedence over 4th place. So, if we and Chelsea/Arse win the CL and EL, but finish 5/6, the 4th place team would drop out. That's as far as I can tell, the only scenerio where 4th would not get CL. And...
