Well, I don't know how much I agree with their ratings, but we must be climbing in the public's conscience somehow...I have to look through more carefully to see which teams have more, but certainly not many...
GK - Hugo 6th
RB - Aurier 8th
CB - Toby 8th
LB - Rose 8th
CM - n/a
AM - Dele 6th

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but it seems to me that this may be the twilight of the never-to-be-lamented galacticos era. You know, these last 10 or so years, when teams of ludicrously expensively assembled mercenaries (both players and managers) ruled the world.
While the...
I noticed this story, http://www.espnfc.co.uk/club/tottenham-hotspur/367/blog/post/2793767/harry-kane-dele-alli-and-spurs-teammates-enjoy-trip-to-barca
Just wondering why, because it's warmer there? (Of in the title was meant to be for...)
I'm sure she has other qualities which balances it out..

Our current 4 best performing players - Lloris, Eriksen, Kane and Chadli - were all bought for very reasonable (or zero) fees. Add to that our other homegrown or very cheap acquisitions who are first choice or nearly - Benteleb, Mason, Rose, Townsend - and our first choice 11 must be one of the...
Did anyone else notice that over half of the pundits over there are either Spurs (4) or Arse (5). Ok, doesn't mean much, but they'll be staying there longer than most of the English that made the trip...(ok, Gus doesn't count). Although there is a distinct chance that Spurs player lifts the cup...
Well, perhaps not...but the idea is not crazy. After hearing Tim (and AVB before him) always insisting that Europa Thursdays didn't affect our league form, I checked the actual numbers:
After Europa league W/D/L 4/2/6 6 GF, 13 GA, 1.27 PPG
Other matches 12/3/1 31 GF 20 GA 2.28 PPG
In other...
Everyone knows that we don't score enough goals, in spite of having near the most shots on goal in the league. So I decided to check how other teams did on that
Of course the shots per game and goals per game are correlated, even if there is a lot of spread on the high side...as we all know...
I recall that before this round of games (can't find that post on here at the moment - it was about busy defense and attack), we were leading the lead in shots for, and near the bottom (top that is, in terms of where you want to be) in shots against. After yesterday I doubt that changed.
I can...
I guess everyone expected him to be gone, but here he is still, pocketing his 170k a week. What do people think we might get for that this year? Everyone knows he has the skill, and everyone also knows the motivation is not exactly the strongest.
Last season was a flop of epic proportions...
That is according to fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi:

Did anyone see this? Of course such a game does not mean much, but I was wondering,
1. Does Kaboul seem to move ok, no aftereffects of the op?
2. Bentaleb? Never saw him near the 1st team before. Any impression?
Spurs players composite team wins 17-3 (edit, 20-4) in WC qualifying
England 8-0 San Marino (Defoe(2), Walker, Parker)
France 3-1Georgia (Lloris)
Iceland 2-1 Slovenia (Siggy(2))
Belgium 2-0 Macedonia (Verts, Dembele)
Wales 2-1 Scotland (Bale)
If only Spurs could brush aside the San Marinos...
Just thought it was interesting to see that in this list of "best so far this season at their club", there are 4 ex-Spurs players (Berbatov at Fulham, Bassong at Norwich, Nelson at QPR, and Rose (still our player) at Sunderland)...
Looking at the team, hard to guess...supposing that the new signings are out, none of the players with some "history" (history in football now being anything more than one season), I guess Defoe? Anyone know?
Does anyone know what exactly Sherwood's duties and responsibilities are supposed to be? Is he director of football by a different name, or just mainly responsible for young player development?
Does he fall above, below or equal to AVB in the hierarchy?
Very sad for them, Kaboul, Walker and Parker would probably have started. One might say it's good for us, but the Euros being in June, I'm not sure that the fatigue would have been a problem for next year.
Walker and Kaboul will be first choice for their countries for years to come, and seeing...
I was going to say," would you rather win the cup or finish fourth?" (of course we would all prefer the two of them), but then it seems to me that the whole media-driven football circus revolves around the CL, so that in the minds of fans and players it is the nec plus ultra of human...
As I will be visiting a friend who has the bad taste to be a Chelsea fan next week, I jokingly asked him to grab a couple of the prawn sandwich seats from his posh mates. For better or worse he took me seriously, so now I find that I will be watching the match from deep within a sea of light...
