    Enemies you love - Pat Nevin. Loves his football so much and sounded so pleased.

    Match Threads Chelsea Vs Spurs

    That first one (second leg though) was fifty years ago to the day. Went with my dad - remember well Cyril Knowles letting Alan Hudson’s misshit free kick squirm under his foot on the line. Never known 50,000 people to be so deflated! Was always pleased that Chelsea lost to Stoke in the final.

    100 up for Winksy in the Premier League

    Looks pretty ropey to me, dating back well over 20 years. I suppose knowing how many players have made the grade at premier league level regardless of club would give us a better idea of how effective the academy has been. Gut feel is that it’s pretty poor though.

    Scrap the league cup. Play the qualifying rounds and rounds 1 & 2 of the fa cup from Jan - May. Play the 3rd round in early September and work through to a January final.

    Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

    Skybet have Spurs as 400/1 for the CL/PL double. Worth a cheeky flutter perhaps. £100 maybe?

    Seems like there’s no let up. Gonna be listening to this for a while yet. Or Spotify.

    Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

    That free kick seemed to stay very flat and come down quickly. Based on that, I reckon he’ll be deadly from much closer in as well.

    Is the huge climbing wall still part of the plans or has it been quietly dropped?

    New Stadium Details And Discussions

    Possibly, but it became known as “White Hart Lane” in the first place by virtue of casual association with that road, and without being named as that formally, so you never know....

    What our opponents' fans are saying about us 17/18

    They do have a point but a question which should have even more traction is “how long can teams such as Arsenal carry on paying such exhorbitant salaries to such mediocre players?” Another one is “ how long will it be before Spurs achieve financial parity with Chelsea and Liverpool?” I know the...

    Graham Poll: Son's penalty goal should have stood

    The referee Foy said on BT at the time that it had been disallowed for “an illegal feint”. During the post match discussion when the wording of the law was pointed out to him, he then argued that it wasn’t a “feint”’, but that Son had actually stopped during his run up and that that constituted...

    What the pundits & media are saying about us

    I wish there was more than a “winner” tag I could give this! That keeper incident was a foul straight away and would have been regardless of Dele’s reaction. It was a foul before any contact, because the keeper dived at the player without making any contact with the ball. That makes it a foul...

    What the pundits & media are saying about us

    Yes I heard that stated on tv recently. Is that in the law book, under the section where the laws are explained, or is that just the media putting their own interpretation on? I did a referees course 20 years ago and reffed a few games, so I have huge sympathy with refs and Lino’s if they’re...

    What the pundits & media are saying about us

    Me neither. There have been so many supposedly contentious decisions lately but the way I see it is that if parts of their bodies are in line then that’s it, they’re level. I wonder what the finer points of the interpretation of the offside law are in that respect, and realise it’s harder...
