    Harry Kane MBE

    Yes agree there's always been a tier of clubs higher up the food chain than us. I guess the point I'm making is that there is still only a limited number of sharks circling and some of them are not in a position to strike. 2-3 years ago I'd have been a lot more concerned because: 1) At 24/25...

    Harry Kane MBE

    I've seen too many of our heroes leave for bigger and better things in over 30 years that I'd be naive not to expect that Harry Kane (and Son) are likely to feel their apsirations are higher than we can currently provide. Throughout the years of seeing Gazza, Klinsmann, Sheringham, Campbell...

    Harry Kane MBE

    I think these are all the details that ultimately make it unlikely that he will leave not forgetting the state of the world economy and the knock on effect this is going to have on club's abilities to make these sort of signings. Unless he has a 'gentleman's agreement' with Levy in place to...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Think we were all (players included) still revelling in the glory of having won at Emirates Marketing Project 3 days beforehand. Ben Alnwick randomly started in goal and chucked a couple in (just as he had in in his only other appearance for us...also at Burnley in the 2009 LC SF). We actually went into that...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    I had considered this one as it stands as our (joint) worst Premier League defeat on record (of course I am aware that football existed pre 1992 and I think someone has already listed the 0-7 defeat at Anfield). This defeat at Sheffield U was a really bizarre one....we'd been in excellent form...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    You were a couple of years older than me. I'm pretty sure my story is just as bizarre as I was in the worst place in the world to receive the news of the half time score.....I was in the Arsenal away end for their league cup tie the same night at Boundary Park, Oldham! I remember my heart...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Of course...how did I forget the Portsmouth Semi-Final. It was a humiliating loss though I equally feel a little cheated that a) the pitch surface was an utter brick bomb which clearly acted as a leveller and b) Crouch had a perfectly good goal disallowed at 0-1 so I dont feel this one was...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Always felt as though we were doing our very best to get knocked out of the Europa that season! I think, we could still have qualified on final match day having won at Shamrock but PAOK obviously got something against Rubin Kazan to secure their place.

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Just before my time so didn't register with me...I got in just in time for the ignimony of losing to Bradford in 1989 instead though!

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Only reason I left this off was because it felt like there were quite mitigating circumstances for the actual loss. It was as though the football gods were just adamant that we wouldn't finish the season in 4th spot. A bit like the Saudi Sportswashing Machine 5-1 this was made far worse for the two teams...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Last night was very much a 'humiliation' - there are several ingredients to a 'humiliation' - its invariably a self-inflicted result and generally one that makes you feel as though you've just been spotted naked meaning you want to lock yourself away for days to avoid the mocking eyes of your...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    My final take on this game (before it gets confined to a bad memory) is that perhaps the difference on the day was that actually Woolwich were very good. It hurts to say this but i suspect that any gameplan we might have had was possibly shut down very early on by them.

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    We seemed to brickhouse a couple of draws there and were unfortunate to lose on a couple of occasions but overall this fixture has been a graveyard for us. Since Wenger at Highbury: 96/7 - lost 1-3 Two late goals by Adams and Bergkamp 97/9 - drew 0-0 despite being down to 10 men (Edinburgh s/o)...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    Of course we will NEVER know so its pure guess work and conjecture. I believe within the ongoing communication between onfield referee and VAR referee there comes a point where the onfield referee is convinced he's had the perfect angle to see what he needs to see (and it appears that Oliver was...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    There are a few bizarre statistics in this fixture....the last we won (2010) saw us trail 2-0 at Half-Time. However, in the last 10 at 'home' of which we have been dominant (7 wins, 2 draws) Arsenal have scored first in five and only won once. In the last 20 PL NLD's - 13 Home Wins, 6 draws...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    bricky afternoon all round. We looked off the pace from the first whistle. Too many important players had off days....you can't legislate for that; it was the team we pretty much all would have picked (bar Doherty/Aurier) and was a team and shape that has produced our best performances of the...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    Whilst I agree with what you're saying - we should have had an extra 8 points from the games you mention....every team could apply the same thinking and conversely we could flip the argument on its head and say we took two extra points from City home game, that we only got the point at Chelsea...

    Squad and matchday team selection analysis

    Just been looking through some recent line up's and matchday squads to better be able to predict how Mourinho might use the squad most effectively throughout the remainder of the season. I'm plagiarising the Extra Inch podcast (other good podcasts are available including our very own The Game...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    To get Top 4 I think we'll need 70 points this season (and a bit of luck that others drop points). That means an extra 25 points than we have at the moment - that's 8 wins a draw and 2 losses from our remaining 11 games....with more weighting towards the games against direct opponents -...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace FC ***

    Kane has never scored in this fixture (as a home game) and Palace haven't scored against us in a home league fixture since 2004 (though this is a bit misleading as we didn't play them between 2004 - 2014). Last home PL meetings v Palace 2019/20 - (14/9/2019) WON 4-0 Son 2, OG, Lamela 2018/19 -...
