    ** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v AC Milan **

    My first game at the stadium since Wolves in August, and my first European home game since Kaiserslautern in 1999. Was pretty optimistic back in August after a gritty 1-0, not so much now. Watching the Chelsea game last night gave me a real groundhog day feeling - them winning thanks to some...

    Pape Matar Sarr

    Conte is never going to put Hojbjerg on the bench.

    Oliver Skipp

    Proud to see an academy player perform at this stage. Sarr gets all the plaudits, and rightly so, but I thought Skipp was even better than Sarr last night. Interestingly, we would have talked about Skipp's performance entirely differently if the second major Milan chance would have gone in. He...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    I really appreciate the rapid rebound pods, all of them raw and right on the money. One remark: in your elaborate praise today of Harry in the wake of his goalscoring record - so special indeed that 'we have seen all 267 of them' - I was surprised that none of you mentioned that Harry has...

    Nico Zaniolo

    Really? I don't remember this, was there a rumoured price for the transfer as well?

    OMT * Tottenham Hotspur v Preston *

    Yes, a strong side by all means. I would still rather face the winner of Luton v. Grimsby in the next round though. Better face City by the time Danjuma, Porro, and our new LCB have settled in.

    OMT - Tottenham vs Portsmouth, FA Cup 3rd Round, 2022-23

    Not too bad a draw for us. Preston away, tricky but doable. Winners of City v. Chelsea play at home to Arsenal; Brighton at home to Liverpool or Wolves.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Injury to Bentancur against Ghana. Had to go off after half an hour - he immediately realized he could not go on. Muscle tear?

    What are we missing?

    I agree that PEH and Bentancur are better going forward this year, and there's room for further improvement. I think, like Bishop, that more balance is what we need in midfield to enable both to play with more freedom AND transition from defence to attack in a more measured way (i.e. not look...

    What are we missing?

    Look, I think he's our player of the season by some distance so far, and I agree that he too can do that. But what we lack is a (or another) player who can turn defence into first control, and then attack. Because we have difficulty turning defence into attack against the likes of Leeds and...

    What are we missing?

    Listening to the pod just now, it occurred to me that rather than a Maddison to complement Hojbjerg and Bentancur in CM we need a Modric - in terms of position obviously (also in terms of quality, but that's not the point, just someone who can play in a midfield five and a midfield four and hold...

    Half-Season Review - The 45-Minute Wonders?

    As in? We are in the position to pay other clubs' players to not kick some of ours? Which injuries have we picked up this year that should have been 'pro-actively reduced'? Or that should have healed sooner?

    Half-Season Review - The 45-Minute Wonders?

    This is an extremely puzzling comment when you look at what we as a club have been doing in the last five to eight years or so. Investing in the facilities has been our priority first and foremost - stadium, training ground. Do you really think we have held on to or appointed support staff...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Our best outfield player once again, week in week out right now. Brilliant second half from Bentancur.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Our best player once again, always playing the direct forward pass when he can. First name on the teamsheet.

    Emerson Royal

    How long is Emerson suspended for? Three games in the PL?

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Skipp has not been fit, and Bissouma has not adapted well enough yet to call for a three-man midfield on a regular basis. Surely Conte has seen how we have been overrun at times in the middle, but perhaps this partly explains why he has been calling for patience. He must know we have been lucky...

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

    In the FA Cup.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Saw quite a few negative comments about him in the match thread, but I thought this was another strong game from Bentancur - not just the well-taken goal (with a slice of good fortune) and the assist for Sonny's first, but more generally his positioning without the ball, and his sharp eye for...

    Emerson Royal

    I thought he was our best player on the night until the red card. Did everything right defensively in the first half, and was instrumental in creating the situation that resulted in the dismissal.
