    BLOG - IS JOSE IN THE LAME DUCK ZONE?

    Cheers @mkspurs - I've added in their appointment date to get a feel for how long into tenure they were. If I'd gone back before that you'd have to consider that the 1-6 home defeat to Chelsea in his first home game began Christian Gross' Lame Duck period! Prior to that Gerry Francis lost the...

    BLOG - IS JOSE IN THE LAME DUCK ZONE?

    PART 2... Harry Redknapp appointed October 2008, sacked Summer 2012) Harry is something of an outlier in this list as he is the only one who was replaced during the off-season which perhaps dilutes his appearance on a lame duck manager list. Clearly there came a point that Levy felt Redknapp...

    BLOG - IS JOSE IN THE LAME DUCK ZONE?

    Sorry - this is far too long for a thread but gather there is no longer a blog feed. In need of some cathartic reflection last night I have explored when Levy has pulled the trigger on previous managers. With just 9 points from the last 9 games Jose is getting perilously close.... I’ve always...

    Next Manager?

    This is a far more immediate situation than I'd have entertained 24 hours ago. However, the smart money is on Jose staying for the rest of the season at least. As much as we despised George Graham I think even his biggest critic feels that he would have been best placed to lead us in the Semi...

    Next Manager?

    Its as much about the type of manager as it is the individual. I can see the logic in the Jose appointment; this was a squad with most of its players at their peak that needed a new message to get over that final hurdle. It wasn't the moment to bring someone in who would rip up the current...

    OMT *** Spurs vs Bin Dippers ***

    As per the comments on this twitter feed - this picture is a best inconclusive - it doesnt actually prove that he handled the ball outside of the area as we can't be sure where the contact with the hand first occurs and remember the line is the area so if he touches the ball when it is hovering...

    OMT *** Spurs vs Bin Dippers ***

    I'm a big believer in stats and they certainly tell a story but devil is in the detail with this particular one... Of the top half sides we've played at home - Man C, Liverpool, Leicester, Everton, Woolwich, West Ham.......we were ahead within the first 15 minutes in 3 of these games (Man C...

    OMT *** Spurs vs Bin Dippers ***

    On further reflection I was happy with the first half. We created good chances for Son which 4 weeks ago he'd have scored and on another day been shown to be onside. I didnt feel Liverpool possessed any particular threat - yes they overran midfield but we defended the box well. The paradox to...

    OMT *** Spurs vs Bin Dippers ***

    Hard to imagine how last night could have been any worse (bar Liverpool going on to score another 3 goals at the end). Firstly, let me just regurgitate my usual trite about 'fine margins' - it may seem irrelevant and trivial with hindsight of seeing what panned out but Sonny's goal stands...

    The Game Is About Glory

    Well done Podders....a really good listen and actually quite refreshing to listen to some well considered Spurs chat not about the immediate hear and now of the most recent match. I was really impressed with the range of seasons covered in this episode. 1981/2 and 86/7 were just before my time...

    Club values and team identity

    What a great topic and discussion - if only there was a podcast we could discuss this sort of thing on @milo! For me, like an earlier post, I supported Spurs because my Dad did (at the time) and growing up in Hertfordshire in the late 80's you were either Spurs or Arsenal (or Liverpool if a...

    OMT - Spurs Vs Wycombe Wanderers

    I thought this was a good performance. I'm sure we all had that nagging feeling as the second half progressed but the fact that we didnt face a single shot in the second half - on or off target -whilst having 16 shots in 45 minutes tells a pretty definitive story. Its tough really - our second...

    Defending (1-goal) leads at the hour mark.....

    you can imagine my nerves and trepidation when Sheff U scored to reduce our deficit to 1 goal just before the hour mark!

    Defending (1-goal) leads at the hour mark.....

    With so much frustration over the way we defend (or don't defend) leads I thought I'd have a look at some data. I've looked at any games since Jose took over in which we were leading by 1 goal after 60 minutes and what the outcome of the match was. During Jose's time this has occurred on 12...
