Pre-Season 2023/24

Apparently there is a bar that shows just about every match. Also I'm in alcudia plenty of Spanish here which should help

Was there last year. Pacos bar was sensational.

Couldn't find a bar showing the game unfortunately. Might check out pacos tomoz thanks for the tip.

No probs. He's really a bit strange and not everybodies cup of tea but if your game for a laugh, he loves giving free shots away, especially if you stay until the end. The bubblegum tequila is especially amazing (and expensive to get hold of in the UK)

Yeah - I would say a starting LCB is a must - in the next week. And, I would add a starting LB to the list also - Reguilon just turns off too many times for my liking.

I still would love to sign a new LB to partner with Udogie, but I realize Davies is probably who we get for this season.

It's coming together. Also, Bissouma is insanely good.

The game started at 3.30 am for me so I'm sorry I didn't get back to the guys who went out of their way to help me watch it live before now. My sincere thanks to @SlotBadger, @TheChosenOne and @Yid-ol. It's times like these that you realise just how many genuinely nice people there are on Spurs Community.

And now the denouement. Before getting up at 3.30, I grabbed my iPad and just tried Spursplay in the vain hope they had changed their stance. Amazingly it was on, loud and clear. I'm still angry at the Club for advertising it as UK only and await their response. I don't know whether they changed their mind or some clown had mistakenly added the UK only bit.

Again, many thanks guys.

Have to admit when that first clip happened live I was having kittens. Passing around at the back and to the keeper etc. Last season we’d have contrived to pass it into our own net. Was sublime watching it back though.

How he's managed to get the squad playing like that after only pretty much a few weeks on the training pitch is seriously impressive stuff.

We do that first passage of play under Conte or Jose around the back it's either hoofed or the opposition gain possession.

Possibly but I'm reluctant to go through that sort of rigmarole. None of the VPNs work for the BBC so I'm nor really prepared to go down that route again. Thanks anyway.

Nord works for bbc

Nord works for bbc

I beg to differ. I've tried Nord a couple of times. Very soon, the BBC just cottons on to the fact that a "household" has several thousand appliances and blocks it. Believe me, I've been trying and failing since the advent of VPNs. I usually start with a free trial and well before the end the BBC wins. It works with everything else I've tried but not the Beeb.

It’s been worth the Spursplay cost, to watch Aussie Ange’s mob run around a bit. What a transformation!!

I genuinely did not care about losing to Wham, as we created so many chances.

After enduring anti football for so long, this has been the most fun watching Spurs we’ve had for a few seasons. Mourinho had a spell early in his tenure, as did Conte, but this is something else.

Strap in people….COYS

Maybe they don't quite believe yet, but the bravery in some of that is really promising.

Funnily enough the starting clip where we play out of defense only really worked because Bis came in to take charge. I've been massively underwhelmed with him since he arrived (mostly down to being injured and not playing) but pre-season is showing me that maybe lots of you were right to be so excited to get him in.

A shockingly amateurish pre-season which is doing Ange and the players absolutely no favours at all. Arsenal have already played 4 games.

I got hammered with Disagrees for this post but Ange himself now says “we’ve ended up one or two games short this pre-season”.

We’ve had ridiculously long periods without any games, then crammed in two games in three days at the end.

I’m not trying to gloat that I was right or something, I’m simply annoyed at the club for allowing this to happen in Ange’s first pre-season, when trying to implement a brand new system, and I’m stunned more people couldn’t see that two weeks ago.

It’s been a shambles and there’s no other way to look at it. Ange needs every bit of support possible from the club and this pre-season hasn’t shown it.

yea the club should have asked the typhoon to fuck off from Thailand so that we could play Leicester

And tell Roma they have to play us or else.

I think it's about the language used:

You - "shockingly amateurish", "it's been a shambles".
Ange - "it's not ideal and we are a game or two short" (or similar).

It's OK to mention that things are maybe less than ideal, but turning every minor issue into a catastrophe doesn't help - perhaps that's why so many disagrees?

My onions obviously and you do you.

You're right, everything is such a drama. People need to put their handbags down. I don't think I've seen a twenty-two man squad in such good shape at the end of preseason. We have a player in each position ready to play when called upon. Conditioning for many could be better and there are improvements to be made but I'm excited for the new season. I've no idea what's going to happen. Love it.

Absolutely, think many are scarred by the last few years - particularly those who thought Jose/Conte were definitely taking us to the promised land.

It's going to be a weird season, where I suspect we concede quite a lot of goals late on and on the counter, but it's just the start of things. We need to be patient and enjoy the ride - fuck knows we deserve to after the last couple of years.

I was really on the fence about renewing my ST for this season, but now I'm pleased I have and am excited to get back to the ground and see what we can do.

Cool response. But every other PL club has played more pre-season matches than Spurs and our manager isn’t happy, so maybe I wasn’t referring to one game?

As you say - onions. It absolutely has been a shambles and a shockingly amateurish pre-season from the club in my opinion, and fairly obviously the manager isn’t going to repeat that, he’s going to be very diplomatic and polite about it all.

But the very fact that he’s mentioned it at all is telling.

I want the new manager and his players to have the best opportunity possible. The club have made that very difficult for them this summer.
