    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    Agreed, and I would like that experiment to end once Maddison and Kulu are back as options. But that's what I mean - our lack of options for players outside the starting 11, through injury or transfer missteps, are forcing these sorts of choices. Problem is, he's also the only vaguely defensive...

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    It was pretty much as expected - Bodo are a damn good side, and played us off the park for the first 60 minutes. The key problem was ball retention - we absolutely could not retain the ball under pressure, because: A) neither Danso nor Van de Ven offer passing capabilities to beat the press, B)...

    Mohammed Kudus

    Vitor Pereira said post-match that the reason top teams spend huge money on players strong in the one-on-ones, is that you effectively need three players to shut them down - one to stop them going down the outside, one in case they go inside, and one to cover the spade behind in case they get...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    Haha - fair play mate, not really something I'm good at just yet. ;) Genuinely though, I'm very serene about things at the moment. I was the same in Poch's first season as well - if you see the fundamentals falling into place, then the actual results don't matter too much because they'll...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    Ultimately a fair performance, tbh. Two tactical issues I can see that Frank will hopefully resolve, and one personnel issue that we can't really resolve until January at the earliest, and more probably next summer. Tactical issues - 1 Benta-Palhinha midfield - it's very solid and is a great...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/inside-daniel-levys-tottenham-tenure-32430501.amp Really interesting interview with BMJ about Levy - this is probably one of the most in-depth pieces Ally Gold had put out in a long time. Lots of great insights into how...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    For sure. Much will depend on the financials changing, which we will only be able to see going forward. If it turns out there was indeed an injection of funding this year, it marks only the second or third time they've done this in their 25-year history, the previous one being in summer 2022...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    For sure mate - and remember, him leaving doesn't mean he can't also get his narrative out. Counter-snippets emerging from Martin Samuel at The Times that Levy apparently feels he was operating with one hand tied behind his back in terms of owner backing from the Lewises, which forced him to be...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Feels like it mate. Too much smoke for there not to be a fire, and it tallies with that spate of reports earlier this year about him wanting to stay on in any takeover. Feels like that wouldn't necessarily be what any new buyer would want, since they would want to stamp their own vision on their...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Sami Mokbel and the Beeb reporting that he was forced out - seem like it wasn't his choice, Vivienne and Charlie Lewis made the call along with Joe Lewis's grandson, Nick Beucher. Apparently due to 'a lack of on-pitch success'.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    T Thanks mate - genuinely, thank you for the empathy. Like I said, even when we were arguing, you were my supports that I relied on in dark times - and I'll always be grateful to you and others for it. :)

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Not that simple mate. You're totally right that I disliked many things about how he ran the club. I also respected some things about it. But I was in a bad place generally and let too much of that negativity take over in the way I talked about the guy. Negativity that also affected how I viewed...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I've said more than enough over the years about all his flaws. You all know my stance on that. But on the day of his departure, I'll instead highlight some of the things I always respected him for - despite what some of you chaps might think. :) 1. He always kept the club stable, even when...

    Squad

    Well, I don't think we're quite at that level because of the weaker first eleven compared to that one. That first eleven was the best since 1961. Any Spurs side is going to struggle being compared to peak Poch Spurs - that season in 2016-17 when we were blowing teams away for fun. But the...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Exactly - kid has a great head on his shoulders, and top-flight Bundesliga football is a great environment to learn and grow in. He'll be back next year stronger for the experience, and I suspect we'll move one of Danso/Dragusin out to make way for him if he grows the way he's been doing so far.
