    The Game Is About Glory - Podcast Episode 1

    Great - that makes sense. I was starting to get very annoyed at my acast app as it wouldn't find it! Of course the great thing about the concept of a Podcast is that anyone, from someone with over 500 appearances as a player to a bar stool preacher down the local can record one. I've...

    Spurs & Covid

    Unfortunately self-interest and ambiguity will be more prominent than logic here and I'm sure we have been/will be just as guilty. Logically - you'd ask Villa to clarify no later than Saturday lunchtime whether they will have enough players available to fulfil our fixture on Wednesday; if not...

    The Game Is About Glory - Podcast Episode 1

    I spend most of my life listening to Spurs podcasts so having been on this forum on and off since 2004 I'm intrigued to listen and would be very happy to contribute. However, I cannot find it on Acast via my phone so can only listen through the PC. Before listening my general feedback is that...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford

    oh the fine margins! Overall good performance. IF we win this competition then we'll have had some fair bits of luck along the way but ultimately will have beaten Chelsea and one of Man U or Man C. Does anyone remember the fortuitous draws we received in 1991 - lower league oppo in rounds 3-6...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford

    I think Brentford would hold their own in the lower mid half of the PL....I'd put them on par with Brighton who caused us a lot of problems recently so this is certainly no walkover. In the last 11 occasions where a PL team has faced a lower league opponent in the League Cup SF since 2002...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford

    Ok - here's my ITK.... My mate's Dad bumped into Joe Hart at a petrol station on Saturday; he asked whether he'd be playing either cup game and Hart's response was that he wont play Tuesday (v Brentford) but will on Sunday (v Marine). :cool:

    Spurs & Covid

    Once again this episode is further proof of how football (and professional sport) operates in own bubble (no pun intended!). You simply cannot apply the same rules from 'normal business' to football - what might be deemed 'gross misconduct' aka a sackable offence is most other industries just...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds Utd

    According to whoscored.com Hojbjerg has only received 3 cautions in the PL this season. The BT graphic was a bit confusing as when he was cautioned today it highlighted a '5' in the yellow - I think this was his shirt number rather than number of cautions this season. When one of their players...

    SPURSWIPE 2020

    Good ol' Teh Trunk. His podcast, though only recorded sporadically these days, remains in my mind the best articulated and considered of any other Spurs podcast out there.

    OMT Spurs - Fulham

    You could apply this to anything in the news today including Brexit deals and school term being delayed. re our postponement - I'm sure that the right decision was made for the right reasons. Though the lack of public transparency is frustrating.

    OMT Spurs - Fulham

    It' unfortunate that we have different matchday from Fulham over the split midweeks in January (we play Villa on 13/1 and they play Man U on 20/1) as that would have provided a simple and instant solution. Next available date, as discussed, is 10 Feb but this is only available of both of us are...

    *** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Stoke City ***

    To win a cup you need a combination of good luck in the draw and to beat one of the big boys along the way - sounds obvious but very true. IF we win this cup we will have done so having beaten Chelsea and Man C or Man U - plus also being given a bye and then drawn against two lower league...

    *** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Stoke City ***

    I guess you have to caveat any analysis that this was an under strength, yet competitive, team in the Championship. That said... I thought it was a very professional job; I couldn't believe when they scored as it was their first attack. It was good to see us have more of the ball and try to...

    *** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City ***

    We've relied on getting ahead early and setting the tempo to manage the game. Rodgers alluded to this post match; coming off the back of the disappointment at Anfield on Wednesday he set up to ensure that they didnt let us score in the first 15 minutes - as such it was a really boring match to...

    *** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City ***

    I always try to wait until the next day to be able to offer some sort of rational explanation and analysis (good or bad) and most importantly stay away from social media to avoid reactionary knee jerks. There's no doubt yesterday was a complete brick show from first to last whistle. We were...

    *** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool ***

    Unfortunately not; it would be interesting to analyse. As mentioned Xg can be useful but it is fundamentally flawed as a definite means of assessing a match. The way that we are set up to play throws a lot of the metrics and usual analysis tools and really forces an analyst to apply some less...

    *** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool ***

    7 of the 12 goals we've conceded (PL only) this season have occurred in the 75 - 90+ minutes - that is 58% of goals conceded in the same 17% of the match which is reason for alarm especially as 4 of those goals have directly deprived us of points. The late So'ton penalty is the only one in this...

    *** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool ***

    I'm not sure about other teams...especially if considering all games (not just PL games). However, we have scored 3 times from 109 corners - as a percentage that's 2.75% goal success from a corner whilst we concede from 1.98% faced. I'm sure we've discussed on here how corners are such low...

    *** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool ***

    Just some stats to reflect on re earlier conversations: This season we have faced 101 corners (in all 23 games) and have conceded twice from them (the other one was against Plovdiv). We have of course also conceded goals from set pieces - excluding penalties - Everton (h), Saudi Sportswashing Machine (h) - led...

    Spurs in the FA Cup 2020-21 - The road to Wembley

    Not forgetting that we got a bye in Round 3 as a result of Orient being ravaged by COVID that week. Luck plays such a huge part in success - particularly cup runs. Our last League Cup final in 2015...home ties against lower league opponent (N Forest and Brighton then v Saudi Sportswashing Machine who throw...
