    ***Spurs vs West Ham Untd***, PL, 13th September 2025 at The London Stadium

    Anyone predicting an easy win....hmmn, I would be happy with an away point, delighted with a win but the Hammers will be up for it big time....besides we should all know by now that with Spurs, optimism is often misplaced!

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    If they were unhappy with how mgw and Eze went why wait until the window closed. They would have wanted to see how it would be turned around and I suspect gave a firm direction that it HAD to be turned around. The awful publicity around the failed transfers was exactly what the Lewis's would not...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    History will probably correct itself over time. History will correct itself when my beloved Spurs win the FA Cup again. And again. I know there are plenty who think it's an irrelevance in the days of the CL, but for me it embodies Glory-Glory Tottenham Hotspur. We won't win the League, but for...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I really hope that the personal abuse he has suffered wasn't the deciding factor in this, though it probably brought it forward. It staggers me that some fans can't see what an astonishing building DL created in the new White Hart Lane: as if the vision, the commitment and the huge amount of...

    Xavi Simons

    If this guy does some of that for us, he'll be the new Dele won't he? If he can score in his first couple of games, we could have a monster on our hands....

    Savinho

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if City deliberately kept us hanging, then said they weren't selling at the very last minute. Paranoid? Bernstein was very happy for Rednapp to believe he was in the frame for the England job, and destabilise Harry's attention to Tottenham.

    João Palhinha

    Palhinha's attitude and composure is a great reminder of the benefit a team gets from experienced players as well as promising youngsters. Experience costs more, but there's a reason for that....

    Transfer thread

    the glorious transfer window when we ended up with Gregor Rasiak on loan There are some ignominious episodes in our past which I thought i had safely buried...but up from the grave they rise. I suspect that Rasiak was well aware that he was out of his depth playing for the mighty THFC. Its...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    After this week, will you finally accept the problem is Levy? Or maybe this summer the problem is that the new Chief Executive feels he has to imitate the Chairman's approach to deals? Maybe we had an inkling that the deal might well not happen but thought "well, it's worth a shot". If there's...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    floppy-fringed Frank's flaws are fewer. A fantastic foundation for phenomenal fings...finally!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Very pleased to see this level of rotation this early. Absolutely, it will do wonders for all the players' morale and their confidence in the squad's all round ability. Thought Solanke looked quite sharp too, not long till he gets more minutes and finds the back of the net - but then if Richy...

    João Palhinha

    Bentancur /Bissouma gone. Both just passengers in most games they play. Nonsense! Bentacur is a fantastic player, as we will see this season...........and will be even better with a DM behind him....

    Joao Palhinha

    After the "here we go" with MGW, I'm going to wait till the club confirms it before I get excited about any transfers this window.........

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

    Just home after a very nice lunch in Brasserie Blanc for my partner's birthday. A bottle of Picpoul Rose went down a treat....to find that we've beaten the scummy phalanx. Perfect....just have to do that twice more this season.... In Frank we trust :)

    Expectations for 25/26

    We haven't been tough to score against for a long time now. Didn't help that Ange didn't seem bothered about defending in any meaningful sense of the word. Fortunately Frank has a more thoughtful and less gung-ho approach.
