    Raphinha

    How much mention has been made that Boehly advanced as far as looking at our financials when seeking to buy Spurs? Years before settling on Chelsea? His second choice. Cain Hoy. That was the name of the organization assembled for the purchase. Was in the news for a brief minute before the...

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    What if it’s only crazy wages for Man U? As in, you’d have to pay me double to work at that shitshow.

    New York Fans In Fury At Lampard

    The lawyers here should be able to identify what's happening by the careful wording of the PL statement. The League asked - didn't require proof - that City and CFG had no agreement with the New York club for Lampard. If the PL took itself seriously as an institution, it would have asked (and...

    Spurs make moves to shift Adebayor off books

    Isn't NYCFC short one high profile player?

    Leicester City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    For the next two matches, we will bring on Davies. He would have been in position to prevent Leicester's first goal. We also get a full 90 from Mason, and maybe Vlad on the right. We'll be better organized and more aggressive pressing in the opposition's half. We will also be less fatigued than...

    Leicester City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    The commentator may have said he lifted his leg. You have to account for their idiocy. He lifted his leg to meet the ball. Then he brought his boot to the ground where he made contact with the attacker. And any idiot who suggests a defender can't have any contact with the defender after making a...

    He got the ball on that challenge. Why a penalty?

    Leicester City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    We've forgotten what pressing means in Poch's system. It's not just rushing to cover the man with the ball, but also his immediate passing options. When we only press the man with the ball, simple one-twos make us look ridiculous chasing the ball.

    Super sub Harry Kane reprimands Erik Lamela for card gesture

    I'll bet everyone on here thought that Fernando Torres should have been sent off for doing worse to Vertongen in our match with Chelsea last September. No remonstrations from our side then and no red card from the ref or action taken by the FA afterward. I like that Mason got in Benteke's face...

    The Daniel Levy thread

    Maybe we need to look at this in a different way. Maybe the correct calculus is not what can we do within the rules, but rather what can we achieve beyond them and accept the penalty that involves. The key for me is that PSG and Man City have found UEFA to be toothless. It appears that FFP rules...

    Cain Hoy say 'No'.

    I believe a lot of what Ewok says is accurate. I'll add a little bit of perspective as an LA Dodger fan that may shed some light on how this transaction may have been expected to go. When Guggenheim bought the Dodgers from the McCourt family, the league had taken over the franchise and refused...

    Cain Hoy say 'No'.

    For those concerned that the new owners would be tight fisted, the buyers of the Los Angeles Dodgers invested heavily in players. For comparison, they currently have 14 players making over £100,000 a week. 5 of those earn over £200,000 a week. 1 is over £300,000 a week.

    Cain Hoy say 'No'.

    If by everyone, you're including UEFA then you would be correct: Uefa ‘rewrites the rules’ to allow Manchester City to dodge FFP sanctions http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/uefa-rewrites-rules-to-allow-city-to-dodge-ffp-sanctions-9725033.html

    Seattle 3-3 Spurs - report from CenturyLink Field

    Had a chance to meet the team in an autograph session the day before. The club is doing a lot to build a supporter base in the States. It gave away shirts, scarves, and caps to the supporters club members that had traveled to see the match. Hopefully that will have long-term benefits. Saw the...
