    Anyone else been following this? On Twitter they say they have 500 signed up willing to move into one section. It's exactly what is needed for atmosphere at New WHL and should have been trialled when the new ground opened.

    Our start to the new season

    It looks like thanks to Arse winning the FA Cup we will have to play 6 games in 2 weeks at the start of the season, 2 sets of Premieriership Sunday, Carabao Tuesday, Europa Thursday How do you think Jose will spread the squad over those games? Is he in a position to sacrifice one of the cups...

    £175m Loan from the Bank of England

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52924157 All very interesting! At what stage do new player contracts start to drop or could there be a salary cap eventually?

    Is part of the problem contract negotiations?

    Everyone agrees that there is something not right at the start of this season and clearly the World Cup is part of that. But of our key players Alli, Eriksen and Vertongen were all rumoured to be ready to sign new contracts at the end of last season but that hasn't happened. Alli in particular...

    FA Cup draw - Newport County (Away)

    Shows how far the cup has slipped when there's no thread about the draw before or after it takes place! (until my post at least) Newport away - could be worse although the weekend before Man U at home followed by Liverpool away, How far does Poch risk Kane and others on a "bumpy" pitch?

    4-2-3-1 vs 5-2-3

    It's interesting and, I think, not a coincidence that since Sanchez was suspended plus Toby's injury, we have done much better against the "weaker" teams by having 4 at the back and being able to include Son, Dele and Eriksen. I wonder if we had Sanchez, Toby and Jan all fit then would we have...

    Spurs V West Ham tickets

    Anyone know what the problem is in fixing the date and time for this game? The club are delaying ticket sales and said from the day the game was fixed that it was subject to confirmation.

    Song for Son

    Surely he deserves one by now? I always thought the best one would be the old Cyril Knowles one Nice one Sonny Nice one son Nice one Sonny Let's have another one.

    Is something going on with the ownership?

    I had a call earlier today from a caller in the US asking if I was prepared to sell my Spurs shares. I've held them ever since they were issued in the 80's. They said that they trade at about 40p a share and they would offer £2 a share. I can't see that my 100 shares are of any relevance but...

    It's really looking good at last!! Positive vibe thread.

    Regardless of whether we make top 4 this season we now have a nucleus of players that want to play for Spurs and the manager. We seem to have found a 30 goal a season striker that wants to play for us and he's one of our own We have 2 midfielders (Mason and Bentaleb) that look the real deal...

    Bale or Eriksen

    So based on form this season and importance to our results would you rather that Bale was still with us or that we have now wisely invested some of the funds in Eriksen. Obvious answer is we'd like both but that's not an option!

    Fantastic news about Kyle Walker

    It looks like he might be in the Beksitas squad so finally all the "Walker Haters" can come out and say how useless he is, has no positional sense and needs to be replaced. They've been sadly missed for the last 9 months!

    Hattrick history question

    Can anyone work out who the last genuine home grown Spurs player was to score a senior hattrick. I don't count Peter Crouch in that as he left us before playing in the first team. I can think of Chris Jones against Millwall in the 70's (for any of you older people and yes I was at that game!)...

    The away draw this weekend was an absolute disgrace

    Yet again we have thrown away points away from home against a team in the lower half. Our centre backs have gifted a goal to the opposition. We failed to get anyone in the transfer window. We are deep in the fight for CL football and if we lose our next match at home we might not get fourth...

    Ways to improve the atmosphere at the Lane - suggestions please!

    If possible can we keep this thread to positive suggestions and also avoid the obvious answer that if we win all our games 5-0 with attractive flowing football then nearly everyone will be happy.... So what things can people think of to get people singing or showing support. My starter would...

    How does booing Gallas help?

    Last night after the second goal there was some clear booing for Gallas although to be fair it died down after a few minutes and there were people in the crowd having a go at those who were booing. But then when he went off just before the end, clearly injured, he got booed again. Gallas has...

    New Keeper

    Who was the goal keeper helping out in the warm up yesterday. For a moment I thought it was Gomes with hair but it wasn't - anyone know? Maybe it was a trialist although I thought we had enough keepers!

    How does 4-2-3-1 work?

    This is not a thread having a go at AVB or the team. There are quite a few teams playing 4-2-3-1 - for example Liverpool just at the moment on TV and I can't see how the system is meant to work effectively in attack. I can see the defensive side although it looks pretty easy to split the "2"...

    Modric vs Moutinho

    Assuming Luka goes and Moutinho comes in, do people think that it is like for like, better or a downgrade. I really don't know a lot about Moutinho but I see his goalscoring record is about the same as Modric so there's no improvement there. Any thoughts?

    Cameron Lancaster

    I was just wondering if anyone who follows the junior teams knew anything about him before last night. I'd seen his name around but never any particular mention of goalscoring and he seems to have come into the squad from nowhere. He's not even had any loan experience. I'm not starting this...
