    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Agree with lots of this. I think much of the discontent lies among fans of a certain age who grew up from the late 60s to the mid 80s when we were either better or at the very least as successful as Arsenal. Similar size clubs/fanbases (certainly in north and north east London/Home Counties)...

    Transfer thread

    If they need to sell, personally I'd go for Tielemans. He's their best passer, their player of the season last year, and imho exactly what we need in the short term. When they played well last season he was exceptional. I'd love Rogers (being English is obviously helpful) but I can't see them...

    Savinho

    A City mate says he's terrible, with no end product, and offered to drive him down for us. However, as he admitted, he also thought Cole Palmer was massively overpriced and didn't have the right attitude. Transfers are an inexact science...

    Friendly match: Tottenham v Arsenal (Hong Kong) 12.30/7.30pm BST/HKT

    He's arguably the player with the biggest upside/regression of the last year (although Gray might argue with that assessment). Glad he's looking good; could save us a fortune.

    Expectations for 25/26

    I think you're both right to some extent. Van de Ven's main weakness is when players run at him as his size makes him vulnerable to quick changes of direction. His heading definitely has room for improvement and that may come. That's not to disagree with the assertion that he's one of the best...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City ***

    The player in the middle is behind the ball, so onside. I sit dead level with that position and I honestly think shooting from there is crazy, if he shot. I'm not sure he didn't just try and smash it across goal and hope for the best. Either way, we should have scored there.

    If it's Clive it's probably worth the extra money.

    Fixture & Ticket News 2024/25

    I've just discovered that because I'm on the automatic cup scheme, I've paid for my 1882 ticket for Qarabag, even though I received no notification of the price in advance. What is the price, I hear you ask? Well, you'll probably be as thrilled as I was to learn that it's £80. That's £80, when...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    I love my music but this lot have escaped my attention. Whenever I saw their name I assumed they were the sort of band who'd struggle to fill the Dublin Castle.

    Absolutely. Not least in his attitude.

    The transfer thread

    We looked more threatening against Emirates Marketing Project with no centre forward than we looked in the preceding games with a centre forward. Football seems to be evolving from two forwards (2000s & 2010s) to one forward (2020-2023) to none.

    Ben Davies

    Can't believe Ben Thatcher hasn't made any of these lists. In fact, the list of worst left-backs might be interesting too. Davies is definitely more than a 5 or 6 imho; as I've said (somewhere) before, he's a top notch back up and squad player at our level, albeit one who's not especially suited...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    Spot on. In that first six months, what stood out for me was how well he managed to slow the game down - in a good way - in the opposition box. Always picked out the right pass, shot at the right times, was calm and precise, linked up brilliantly with Kane/anyone making runs into the area. Last...

    Richarlison

    Soldado might have looked like he was trying hard, but what the fans see isn't always the whole story. I was told the effort he made on match days was not mirrored in his attitude to training.

    Brennan Johnson

    Lots of City fans think he's not going to be good enough for them, and that £40m for an unproven (and apparently quite lazy) player is daylight robbery

    Transfer fred.

    Early indications (Spence, Ndombele) are that Ange is not a big fan of players with acknowledged character 'issues'.

    Agree. But it will receive continuous funding. At least that's what I have heard. Circumstances change etc. but don't be surprised if this is longer lasting than the Chinese experiment.

    Transfer fred.

    I'm not sure sustainability has any relevance in Saudi. They are seeking to buy up all the world's leading sportspeople: they started with golf, with tennis reputedly next, while hoovering up footballers at the same time. Money is literally no object; they can pay for football with the interest...

    Transfer fred.

    I have been told (by a high up at a PL club who have fended off several offers for their players over the last two months) that this summer's activity is very much the opening salvo; the Saudis are using the current signings to legitimise the league before making bids for the big, young stars in...

    Emerson Royal

    I still think Emerson is a stopgap at right back. He's improved (vastly), but he's not a good passer of the ball; he's one footed and plays it too slowly. The gap between him and the best players in that position is pretty big. For this system to work well enough that we can take on and beat the...
