    *** The official 2025/26 Premier League thread ***

    You'd certainly hope England can maintain that UEFA coefficient as we aspire to get back into the top 6 at some point.

    I actually don't know enough about Leeds to know what happens with their players in the summer to be fair. Like most of these teams I would hazard a guess that they have a much bigger percentage (than us) of players out of contract this summer and next. Would they have an extra incentive to put...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    I think people keep forgetting the massive differences between the 24/25 and the 25/26 PL tables at the bottom. Just like last season, we would have been mathematically safe with our current points a while ago. The pressure would have lifted just like it did under our guys in the last third of...

    Cristian Romero

    And massively depends on two-footedness and how the positional brain works. You see a lot of top defenders who can tackle off either foot. As an example Dragusin didn't look right on the left whereas Romero and Danso seem to be OK there. I noticed that Dragusin doesn't always get the purchase...

    Cristian Romero

    It's a great question. I think we can definitely over-analyse these equations. There could be logical reasons why Romero's hasn't been around at times. I believe Vic has but he's not exactly been bouncing around pitch side like Madds in his hernia recovery. I think the most important question...

    Exactly, and I also think this one game a week cadence is perfect for RDZ to embed his tactical system into the players. That includes the fitness required to do it, knowing that we are well stacked with midfielders at this point. We literally have Palhinha, Bents, Biss, Sarr, Gallagher, Gray...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    I think there are some key differences here. Firstly, there is something about Villa that we wouldn't even recognise since Poch days. Emery should be able to rotate players because that entire club has stability and a relatively long tenure of manager. That football philosophy has been set...

    I think you have to remember that Emery was tagged as not a stylistic fit at Arsenal. He would have been tagged that as well for us in 2019 as Poch left. In some ways the massive changes in the PL have played into Emery's hands beautifully. He hasn't had to play really attractive football and...

    Cristian Romero

    It shouldn't be a choice of one or the other, but I completely agree that the player needs to get things sorted. There is also an argument to say that Romero needs to play more for his own designated position and less for the team. He has been trying to do too much since we've not been a great...

    Champions League 25/26

    It would be quite comforting to England fans if Kane finally took a game of this stature by the scruff of the neck and owned it in the way that we've seen Messi and Ronaldo do. I've not watched the game. How did he play?

    I don't. I think Porro is massively underrated and under-appreciated by the Spurs fans. I just wish Spence had the fight in him that Porro has.

    I have no time for any referee that blatantly ignores the laws of the game. I don't care what their name is. No football stakeholder anywhere has given any ref permission to ignore the laws. The system is completely broken because of it.

    I haven't watched a ton of footie this year but do we see any examples of where a luxury player like Madds can be afforded in the middle of the park? This modern PL doesn't seem to lend itself to that. Most teams seem to have a very robust double pivot. Anyway, I guess we wait first to see what...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    Had a good little catch up with some pods yesterday. Just a couple of things - There is a massive difference between Emery making changes for one second leg of a EL semi-final and Ange fielding weakened teams from February. Not about whether it was the right thing to do or not, but you guys...

    Next seasons squad

    I've always thought we could put together some very good 4-2-3-1's with Madds, Kulu, Kudus and Xavi in the same squad. We have the full-backs in Porro, Udogie, Spence and Souza to be the width as well. Personally, I don't think putting any of them in the 2 centre mid slots works in this current PL.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa, Sun May 3rd, 7pm, Villa Park ***

    I think you're both right. Levy's job should have been to leverage his considerable skills and focus on what he was good at. Great leaders then introduce other senior members to cover their own portfolio gaps. Levy clearly had gaps on the football ops side but was too stubborn to get out of...

    Yep, it's the way I'm thinking. Levy's prime time was up to 2019. He can be forgiven the COVID years but his running of the club through to his departure was a massive problem. It's why the Tavistock group and the Lewis family felt they had to take action. That should have included Cullen...

    Senesi is more Liverpool linked than us though.

    I have concerns about Robbo. He's not the player he was. Shame Brentford just added the 1 year clause to keep Rico Henry until summer 2027. He would have been a good option. I'm not a massive Spence fan but would be concerned if we didn't replace that versatility he offers. Udogie is becoming a...
