Hail to the chief!

His press conference today was brilliant to watch. He was still getting hammered about Lloris and he just smiled, answered the question and moved on. I feel sorry for some of the journalists as a lot of their questions are pre determined, but they will soon get bored and moved on.

the Lloris part was on the skysports website. Didn't see any more than that really though

I'm loving what we have built in our midfield and the trust AVB is showing in Sandro. I agree with the OP that it's a very promising group but I do hope we continue to build on it with young players to continue to build depth/upside.

I'd love to see Victor Wanyama come to Tottenham to help give us some youth (Age 21) and some incredible upside/physicality. That guy is enormous, and it's not something I would just throw around but he plays very similar to Yaya Toure.

Fuck me worst team in the league, three weeks ago they outplayed the european champions whilst away and only lost because of a goal that was unbelievably offside, I did expect us to win in the manner we did

This happens to be true, and so of course the press is saying "it's only Reading," because they want AVB to fail and thus play down his successes, while if their buddy Harry had been in charge it would have been a commanding victory that put us back on track.

Reading have only played 3 games, against us, Chelsea, and Stoke, they drew with Stoke, and we sure played better against them than Chelsea did, and we played them AWAY, Chelsea played them at HOME.

We have Mass Luongo on loan at Ipswich, who seems to be having s super season so far. Very highly rated by many fans of ours. The positive response he has received from Ipswich fans on Twitter is unreal. We also have Tom Carroll, Alex Pritchard, Townsend, Lancaster - all offering promise of at least being an able understudy to the first team squad and possibly more.

With Sandro Dembele Sigurdsson, supported by Parker, Huddlestone, Livermore & Dempsey, we're very well covered in central midfield. I think we are still short on the wings, could have done with a Moses, Sinclair or Adam Johnson type signing. But we look well covered everywhere else. More so this season than last.

nothing pleased me more than seeing him have the "balls" to sub Bale on sunday. i liked that. no player is bigger than the team. he seems to be managing his players from the start of the season. it was my biggest gripe with Harry. we might not understand his reasoning for making the substitutions that he makes BUT he at least has the courgae to do so.

we can only develop our younger players and keep our other squad members fresh and focused by giving them game time every so often. in the event of inevitable injuries there will be players raring to go and not having to play 3-4 games to find some kind of form.
