    Ginola has had a cardiac arrest

    Crazy to think that someone as fit as him at the age of 49 can drop with a heart attack that needs a quadruple by-pass to fix it. I know he smoked/smokes but there are millions of 49 year olds in the world that are in much much worse shape than him. Just strengthens the argument that 99% of it...

    The Stats Thread

    Footballer's are used to putting cold things on injuries and they already believe it helps them heal faster. So the jump from that to cold things helping you recover faster is not quite as big as 'take this magic pill, it will make you recover'. Cryotherapy is also an activity (like stretching...

    The Stats Thread

    I don't know the facts but I'm assuming those who have died/had bad injuries have done something particularly stupid in order for that to happen. Or should not have been undergoing the treatment (heart issues, old age etc) A pro footballer who's in there with a heart rate monitor and a doctor...

    The Stats Thread

    Articles like that always come out when something a little out of the ordinary happens in football. I remember reading one about how revolutionary Swansea and Gary Monk's training methods were because they finished the previous season off fairly strongly. We all know how that turned out. As...

    Tom Carroll

    I think it was a combination of both. We were very good as shown by some of the lovely football we played, the amount of possession we had against every team in the league, chances created etc etc etc. However there were some obvious big names missing from the usual top 4-6 and had those big...

    Tom Carroll

    I am repeatedly seeing this. We need to challenge for the title next season. This worries me. It worries me that if we don't hit the ground running next year the knifes will be out for the only manager who seems to have put the long term vision of the club above his own selfish agendas in a...

    See you guys in August

    I think the disappointment comes more from the manner in which it happened. If we'd been beaten 2-1 by Saudi Sportswashing Machine after a strong performance and were just unlucky I don't think the disappointment would be anywhere near the same level. It's the fact that even though throughout the entire...

    OMT ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Saudi Sportswashing Machine***

    Coming into the last 10 games I think the players genuinely thought they were going to win the league and were prepared to fight for it. The inevitable Leicester collapse was coming and we were ready to pounce (like Lion's eh Harry?). As the games passed Leicester continued as they were (they...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    100%. We need to keep our feet on the ground. We've just finished the season with 70 points. A good total, but one that in a 'normal' season would probably see us finishing 5th, which is pretty much where you'd expect us to be at this stage of Poch's grand plan. There are many, many...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I don't think he has any interest in leaving but the timing of it all does intrigue me. Poch doesn't have an agent. The last time there was talk of a new contract that story about how he would 'love' to manage PSG came out. Then he come's out and says he's 'verbally' agreed a new contract and...

    Lots of micro evolution over a long period of time = Macro evolution. Surely?

    Our 2 big problems this season...

    It's still been great no matter whether we finish above them lot or not. Everyone on this forum would have bitten your hand off for 3rd at the start of this season. Although I do worry that inflated expectations might put undue pressure on the players & Poch at the start of next season. It's...

    ***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea

    Exactly, even if we had beaten them at Stamford Bridge they we're going to roll over to Leicester on the last day. I loved it. Really loved it.

    Christian Eriksen

    Can understand the other two as Eriksen was actually trying to shoot. But for me the OG one should go down as an assist.

    ***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea

    I absolutely loved it. Let me explain before you jump all over me. For years we've been known as 'Soft' Spurs. Weak underbelly, lie down when it really matters, give up easily etc etc. That's gone now. OK so the youthfulness of our squad meant things went a little over the top and maybe we...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Was saying this the other day. How incredibly 'sexy' (Sorry to use that term!!) is it that in the one year in GHod knows how long, Chelsea, United, Emirates Marketing Project and Arsenal are brick enough for us to win the league Leicester appear from absolutely nowhere and win it!! Could only happen to...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Nail on head. Nother coach seemed to be able to work it into Dembele's game so I thought he was beyond help, but Poch has managed it.

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs Borussia Dortmund - 2nd leg

    Disagree with this. The aim at the start of the season was top 4. Most here thought we would finish 5th/6th (look at the poll on the other thread). If we finish in the top 4 this has been a very successful season no-matter what position we were in the league in March. We as fans need to be...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham***

    Ever since 24 hour reporting came in its got more and more like this. There's not enough actual news to fill 24 hours so sky sports news, twitter feeds, facebook pages etc etc have to discuss everything at lengths that they don't need to be discussed to fill the time. This bleeds into the non...
