    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Rennes *** *POSTPONED*

    I listen to View from the Lane and regularly read Charlie Eccleshare in the Athletic - I must confess to never having heard of him prior to that. If it weren't for this board I would have no idea whatsoever that he is an Arsenal fan. its clear, like Jack Pitt-brooke that he's not a spurs fan (as...

    Keep/Sell - who?

    a few of them have regressed considerably since even last season. What have we actually done to enhance the squad since he left? Romero is definitely an upgrade but currently injured and so suspect we wont see best of him until next season. Gil is a long-term project but looks nowhere near 1st...

    Keep/Sell - who?

    An interesting way to assess individual players' ability is, for each of them, to go down the league table and work out where they'd be happily welcomed to become a part of their 1st XI. Totally subjective and I'm ignoring whether the other club would actually need them (which makes this...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I firmly believe that Conte will get us outperforming against our level of ability. Equally I agree that he force Levy (via Paratici) out of his comfort zone in the transfer market. That said I think we're the 8th best squad in the PL and even with his 10% added value that will only get us to...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I also have some reservations - not because I don't think Conte is an outstanding coach still in the peak of his managerial career - just that he isn't the right solution to the problem, or at least the size of the problem that we find ourselves in. Nominally Chelsea were the 10th best team in...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Can extend that to domestic cups too....since 2018 we've had wobbles at lower league opponents - Newport (draw), Rochdale (draw), Colchester (lost on pens), Middlesbrough (draw). Prior to that we consistently swatted aside lower league opponents.

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    FYI....we went on to lose this game 0-1 at Man Utd (Dec 2016) who were managed by.....:oops:

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I'm sure that Conte had done his due diligence but I do worry that the club push the 'real estate angle' a bit too much - constantly talking up the facilities at the training ground and stadium. As Poch famously said (and I paraphrase) its no point having the gorgeous mansion without having any...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    # If you'll indulge me and look at the post in the match thread I'd suggest that crap performances in europa extend way beyond Mourinho. Ever since we first qualified for the CL in 2010 our attitude (as a club) to europa/europa conference has stunk of indifference and arrogance.

    OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Ns Mura

    Just for further analysis...these are our away results in group stages from 2006 through until 2008/09 which is prior to our first CL qualification in 2010 (we did not qualify for europe at all in 2009/10) 2006: Besiktas 2-0 Leverkusen 1-0 2007/08: Hapoel Tel Aviv 2-0 Anderlecht 1-1 2008/09...

    You're right I haven't listed all the group games so for reference here they are: 2011/12 PAOK h 1-2 a 0-0 Shamrock h 3-1 a 4-0 Rubin h 1-0 a 0-1 2012/13 Lazio h 0-0 a 0-0 Panathinaikos h 3-1 a 1-1 Maribor h 3-1 a 1-1 2013/14 Tromso h 3-0 a 2-0 Sherriff h 2-1 a 2-0 Anzi h 4-1 a 2-0 2014/15...

    The Game Is About Glory - Tactics, Passion and Projects

    Really good pod guys. As for Leeds game - i don't think the booing at half-time was appropriate but its hard to analyse in hindsight now that we can see how the second half played out and that ultimately that was Conte's plan - Leeds scoring did come out the blue (they may have had a lot of...

    OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Ns Mura

    This feels like groundhog day and I'm sure i'm writing something almost identical to post Vitesse, Zagreb and further back. Whilst last night was another clusterfudge of a performance with question marks over selection, individual performance and tactical approach take a step back and view this...

    The Game Is About Glory - Spurs In The 90s

    That was a great performance, goal and result as Blackburn would go on to become champions. It was a live Super Sunday so observed by the (sky sports subscribing) nation! From memory Sherwood scored their goal?

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    Potter was the outstanding candidate in the summer. I can only think that Poch's sudden availability threw Levy on a complete red herring which bizarrely then seemed to cause a reaction of appointing a DofF having previously indicated that they didn't need one. Potter not only seems an...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    Although Nuno was a Mendes client none of the players we signed in the summer, or even many of those we were linked with, were in Mendes' stable. I don't think he holds any power within the club.

    The Game Is About Glory - A Bad Plan, Poorly Executed

    Last Word on Spurs' USP is that they're usually the first to record to drop but unless I see that Jason McGovern is on its just a load of ranting and knee jerking. Hope you'll get more out of us though and Kenneth Branagh's cameo at the start will set the tone!!

    Harry Kane MBE

    It strikes me that over the last 2 years Kane's relationship with the club appears to have become more of a transactional one than a relationship of deep rooted feeling and emotion. i.e. you pay me well and I'll score lots of goals for you. He's felt like Harry Kane the World Class Striker...

    Next Manager?

    This is a really interesting point - I remember Sherwood was announced just as Arsenal v Chelsea kicked off on a Monday Night game! I thought at the time it was Levy way of trying to steal their limelight but probably it was to sweep it under the carpet?!

    Next Manager?

    Purely from a PR/Comms perspective today (Tuesday) would be a good day for the announcement - enough time has passed since the England match on Sunday. Tomorrow morning is fixture release day and by Thursday it will be the build up to England v Scotland which will then dominate coverage Friday...
