    ***Spurs vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine***, League Cup, 29th October 2025 at St James Park

    I've said this over and over but all football stakeholders (players, managers, fans, pundits etc) should never stop talking about the state of refereeing until we see change. We see so many RIP Football moments because of them. Football history rewrites itself all the time because of them...

    ***Spurs vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine***, League Cup, 29th October 2025 at St James Park

    I've found Spence a little frustrating tonight. He's been predictably coming inside and not using his left foot in key defensive moments and so easy to double up against. However, he's also been our most creative midfielder from deep positions.....from left back. I sometimes look at him and...

    but Richi clearly displaying why he is a back post wide player rather than a central poacher.

    The strikers hand was on the centre half's shoulder stopping him from jumping. Not that the laws of the game matter anymore. Just like the shirt pull and deliberate pull back on Xavi. Stone wall yellow

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I do think the injuries are at the crux of the topic actually. What you hint on is that it wasn't fair to judge Ange in an injury crisis. Maybe you were and maybe you weren't, but I think that line of thought is what got some of us frustrated. I learnt more about Ange's shortcomings when he had...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    When I think about patience in football, it is actually a very practical thing. If you don't provide it, you end up shooting yourself in the foot anyway. Obviously the opposite of having patience is losing patience. Even when you have natural patience, you an still lose it and that felt like...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    One man's view. Firstly, I think there is a difference between starting your job on day 1 of pre-season versus picking up activities mid-season. In some ways, this season is really Amorin's first one where he might feel more in control. It's the one where he has the power of veto on signings...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    If we did upgrade him then I think it would be the season after. From this point, I'm all for quality over quantity. I would be focusing on other areas in the next 2 windows.

    Destiny Udogie

    Spurs must really be suffering from deja vu with the left back position. It starts way back with Rose getting injured all those years ago. At his prime Danny was a major force and in about 2016 him and Walker were labelled as the best in Europe. Since then we've not really addressed the position...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Monaco ** 22/10/25.

    On 5 we have to be 2 pronged. As you say, you have to join them as the first option. As the second and as football stakeholders, we must never stop complaining about the state of officiating. Refereeing is changing the outcomes of so many games and not for the better. I hadn't really thought...

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    lol - I read one report on FB saying that both Ange and Marinakis won't be seen publicly for a while as they have marks on their faces where they were having fisticuffs.

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Monaco ** 22/10/25.

    When I think back to last night's game, I think I saw the following: 1) Porro and Kudus no longer working as an offensive partnership. It was juts Kudus doing it on his own with no real doubling up and stretching up. It was Kudus that was being doubled up on. Gray and Odobert trying their...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I guess this one depends on Takai's readiness to be in the match day squad. We could end up with Romero, Danso and VDV on the pitch plus Udogie, Davies and Dragu not in the match day squad. That leaves Spence as the only senior sub, plsu the option of pulling Palhinha back into defence I guess...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it's OK saying we need more quality. I guess that never stops being the case with any top club. More than that though, I think Frank needs access to Solanke and Kulu. When I think back to the Ange teams, they were nothing without these 2 guys. Ange became so dependent on Solanke as his...

    Ben Davies

    I've mentioned this a few times before. Davies has had a hamstring injury every season since the 21/22 season. Last season he was unavailable for close to 50 days and missed 12 of our games. Unfortunately, he is not as dependable as a 4th or 5th choice defender as some people think. I reckon it...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah, I guess we always need to know where we can plateau with any manager. Before, there was always a reason to say the manager was getting dealt a bad hand with the club. We could always site reasons like budget as to why we were not performing. With Ange and Frank the level of budget and...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I just can't imagine what I'd be thinking if I were a Forest fan and my new manager comes in an makes it about himself and his ex-employers. He needs to get his head down on the current job in hand. This is why I see him as junior as he can't elevate himself above this type of thing.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    The "junior" thing is purely about his comms persona in the public environment. It's definitely not his strength. When you look closely, there was nothing disrespectful in any question from the journo's.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    The big irony here is that he didn't even need to defend himself. He was just asked a simple question about talks between himself and the owners during the international break, after a couple of minutes into the presser. He could have said "we talk every day" or "no, we haven't met recently" or...
