    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Given our next six games compared to Villa, it’s really hard to envisage us winning four or five of the six. I think in all likelihood we will pick up another 7 to 8 points this season. That should probably be more than enough for fifth or sixth.

    If Porro is out, we will have Emerson and Davies in the FB positions. Ange will have to be pragmatic, as neither are great at the ‘inverted’ role. No point in trying to circle that square. Play to their strengths. Both can be excellent defenders. We will automatically be better at defending set...

    I’d go further and include Davies in the back 4 for the remainder of the season. We cannot fall out off the top 6, and we have four out of six games we will need to be defensively very strong for. Based on recent defensive performances, we’ve been next level dreadful. Be it brain farts on...

    I felt that three of our four goals allowed yesterday were down to errors. The corner was the most concerning of all the goals, as it had been coming. And clearly we are struggling against set pieces but don’t seem to be addressing the issue. Also at fault yesterday was our pedestrian and weak...

    Are you asking why people believe he can be successful? Just ask it that way. Would you like to see him replaced this summer? (Im not asking to cause an argument, just curious, as your post infers that you don’t think he’s the right coach to lead us to the top)

    But do you think he can adapt? If not, then it’s hard to see him being successful for all the reasons many are rightly pointing out. Primarily, there is no pragmatism in the way he sets the team up to play. That’s tricky and can be costly in such a competitive league.

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Did the Kane sale and subsequent wages reflected on the latest balance sheet? I honestly couldn’t tell. You would think, with Kane, Tanguy, Hugo, Dier, Perisic all be jettisoned from the operating costs, will impact our bottom line. Unless that was also reflected?

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    This will be a tough, tough game. Ange has to take the sting out of the barcodes, by being a little less gung-ho in the opening 30 mins. Shush the crowd down. Id be surprised if we won, as Newcastle have been excellent at home. So, if we come away with a point I won’t cry over it. Hope that...

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    So… I’m dyslexic and math is kryptonite to me. So, uh… are we in a good, neutral, or bad financial position according to all that?

    I thought there was 30 mins in the second half where we looked outstanding. PEH and Benta bossed the fuck out of the midfield during that part of the match. Forrest got played off the pitch. Then we slowed up in the the last 15. It really was night and day, the difference made in midfield at...

    The kid is getting some swagger into his game. That’s a terrific sign. I keep reminding myself he joined Spurs at roughly the same age Sonny did. And I’d say he already above the curve compared to where Sonny was at this stage. Has a potential to get much, much better.

    Proudly. Never would have thought ten years earlier that I’d have him rated as one of the top 10 Tottenham Legends in my time watching the club since 1980. A chap, that when all is said and done, will always be prefaced with: “criminally underrated”.

    I was happy with the point. Felt it was ours to win, but we just lacking the cutting edge in the end. Wham were a non entity except on set pieces. It is testament to our defense and midfield that they only created about 3 decent chances. If Richy was fully fit, he would be our starting striker...

    He was poor last night. Mostly his movement in fighting to win crosses coming into the box. Johnson was an excellent example of anticipating and fighting to win a cross when it came in. Whereas Timo had two or three crosses he could have attacked but did nothing. Hopefully he learns from it.

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    You are correct. It isn’t fair and hopefully it will be readjusted in the future. I don’t just think this is a Danny decision. It’s a whole financial team that is trying to maximize revenue for potential investors. It isn’t kind to those who need financial assistance. Hopefully the Trust can...

    He’s got 9 games to make a big impression. If he wants a move to a big club he has to push himself much harder. Or, if he wants to be in Ange’s future plans now is the time. He looked like he had the eye of the tiger yesterday. And is it just me, or has he bulked up? Regardless, he and Benta...
