    The best Spurs team of all time - centre forward

    I enjoyed watching Berbatov as much as the next Spurs fan. The phrase "silky smooth skills" seems made for him. But there's at least four on that list I'd vote ahead of him - maybe more. For me, he was frustrating to watch almost as often as he was thrilling. I loved having him at the club at...

    The Official 2015/16 Premier League Thread

    As I say... "I'd almost prefer a draw today". I know a Chelsea win would be good for our season. But none of my close friends or family are Arsenal fans, you see... whereas my cousin and a good mate of mine are both Chelsea fans (in fairness to them they're Old School, pre-Russian money, fans)...

    The Official 2015/16 Premier League Thread

    I'm enjoying Chelsea's collapse so much this season that I'd almost prefer a draw today - so both of them drop a couple points. I know, I know, I'd be gutted if we finished a point behind Arsenal at the end of the season, so I'll definitely be happy with a Chelsea win today (albeit...

    Transfer Rumour Thread

    Rabiot? Not saying he isn't good (he clearly is). But do we need another midfielder?

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Palace***

    I predicted 3-1 before the game. But to be honest, before Kane's goal I thought it was going to be "one of those days" where we'd outplay them and somehow still lose. But credit to the lads, they kept the pressure up and came away with (on balance) a result we deserved. Eriksen had a...

    The best Spurs team of all time - centre forward

    My uncle knew him and I met him round his house a handful of times. He gave the impression of being quite a serious person. But not unusually so. Definitely wasn't socially awkward the times I met him and didn't come across as reclusive. He'd have a chat and a laugh along with everyone else at...

    The best Spurs team of all time - centre forward

    Of those three, I'd put Archibald into the poll. He's often overlooked when people talk of Spurs strikers of the past, but I definitely think he merits a place in the top 10 of the past 50 years or so. His "almost 1 in 2" goal tally isn't too shabby, but he made almost as many as he scored for...

    Christian Eriksen

    Yeah, he had a good game alright. I felt he'd lost a bit of form this season. I've heard the argument that it's more about the players around him being better, so he doesn't stand out as much; but in truth I just think his level dropped 5 or 10% this season. It happens to most good players...

    Tom Carroll

    I'm slowly being won over by Carroll. I haven't been a critic or anything, but he's never impressed me the way he has some others. "Decent squad player" was about where I saw him. The last handful of games have started to change that though. He still has a ways to go before I'd put him in my...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Just to point out - when I defend Lamela, I'm not suggesting that Son (or anyone else) isn't good enough. Right now, we're blessed with a set of good attacking midfielders, some of whom can be great on their day. And I firmly believe you can make a decent, unbiased case for any of them to be in...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Thought Lamela had a decent game today. Not his best performance for us, but more than worthy of a place in the first team. His "defending from the front" is increasingly a vital part of how we play I feel. For all the hype and hoopla surrounding his transfer fee and the subsequent disappointing...

    Son Heung-Min

    Just watched a highlight reel... Son's goal was indeed a superb bit of play, but if anything, his pass to put in Chadli for the second was even better.

    Saido Berahino

    According to The Sun (via Bleacher Report), West Brom have increased the asking price for Berahino to £30m. I can't believe that's true though. I don't have the highest opinion of Peace, but nor do I think he's stark raving mad.

    Alexandre Pato - cake

    Tough ask. Whoever they bring in this month is going to be expected to turn their season around. If they don't hit the ground running they'll very quickly be seen as flops. Whereas any striker who joins us will - barring injuries - have the relative luxury of a settling-in period as Kane's...

    The best Spurs team of all time - centre forward

    Up until now I've only been voting for players I've personally seen play. I know this is an "All time" best, but I simply don't have anything beyond stats and stories to judge the older players by... and both can be misleading. I can only judge what I've seen. In this case though, that approach...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Indeed. And the thing is, we all know Man United are the Biggest Club Ever (tm) and can probably offer a bit more money... but assuming we're at least in the same ballpark salary-wise, then Spurs have to be one of the most attractive clubs to work for in football right now. Best training ground...

    The Official 2015/16 Premier League Thread

    I suspect they'll make steady progress in the second half of the season and will be challenging for a Europa League spot come April. But their next three premier league matches include games against United and Arsenal. Plus they still have to deal with European football and the FA Cup. So I...

    Championship and EFL Football

    Sad to see a club that's more than 140 years old be brought so low by financial mismanagement. There's just no reason a club the size of Bolton can't be well run and successful in the Championship and perhaps even build towards a return to the top flight. I haven't been following the story too...
