    LMS 15/16 - Champion: jts1882

    Klopp seems like a decent manager who may eventually come good if given time, but there's a tendency in the media (and to an extent, in Liverpool fans - though I know a fair few of them that are starting to turn cynical at this stage) to hail every new manager as The Messiah who will instantly...

    Transfer Rumour Thread

    Yeah, I tend to agree. If Fulham want a loan to help them avoid relegation, I suspect it won't be a youngster whose only first team experience is a dubiously successful few months in the second tier in Scotland. It'll be someone like Carroll or Onomah or Bentaleb - a player who has already...

    If he's gone to Southampton for £4m then it means one of three things... 1) We weren't interested in him. 2) He wants lots of game time and we weren't in a position to guarantee that. 3) Southampton were willing to break the bank in terms of wages. I'm going for #1 myself. I doubt he was ever...

    The best Spurs team of all time - left wing forward

    Realistically it's Bale, isn't it? I was a huge Ginola fan when he was with us because - let's face it - he was one of the few high points during a relatively low period for Spurs. But in terms of overall quality, Bale was head and shoulders above Ginola. In fact, after Hoddle I think Bale was...

    The youth players/on-loan thread 2015-16

    Disappointed if true. I really liked the look of him when he played for Serbia in the youth cups. I think he'd be silly to leave if the club's willing to keep him. Our youth set-up, training facilities and managerial philosophy all seems tailor-made for a young player to reach his potential. If...

    In fairness, it didn't just originate from "press and TV punditry". My own dad became a fan in the mid-50s - right about the time when Spurs were approaching our historical peak. I became a fan in the late 70s - the glory days of Hoddle and Ardiles and back-to-back cup wins (and that was when...

    I think we'll be raring to go this weekend. Spurs for the win.

    The best Spurs team of all time - number 10, attacking midfielder, second striker

    Ah. :) Fair enough. Though just in terms of pure quality, I definitely think there's a Campbell Vs Mabbutt discussion to be had - and for me it's not as much a foregone conclusion as you think.

    The best Spurs team of all time - number 10, attacking midfielder, second striker

    Oh, I completely agree with you on that. I was just pointing out that if people were voting purely in terms of club loyalty then he'd be a shoe-in ahead of Mackay, as he spent pretty much his entire career at Spurs if I recall.

    The best Spurs team of all time - number 10, attacking midfielder, second striker

    People are clearly voting on a variety of factors. Which is perfectly acceptable. It's obviously not just loyalty (otherwise we'd have John Pratt ahead of Mackay). It's the perceived greatness as a Spurs player. And you can't be a "great Spurs player" if you left the fans feeling as furious as...

    *** Superspur vs Leicester OMT: The Sequel ***

    We're the better side and it feels like we're more likely to score. But it's not a foregone conclusion... Leicester really aren't where they are because of a string of fluke results - they're a defensively solid team with a couple of forwards at the peak of their game. Still think we'll nick it...

    *** Superspur vs Leicester OMT: The Sequel ***

    Sadly I think Arsenal will pick up at least 4 points from those games... they'll kick 10 shades of crap out of the current Liverpool team, though it's certainly true that Stoke could hold them to a draw. For us, I think the six points is very much up for grabs (but a long way from guaranteed)...

    RIP David Bowie

    I'd go a bit further to be honest. I think he'll be remembered as one of the defining artists of the past hundred years. For me he wasn't just in the very top tier when it comes to music, but as a visual artist he was equally revolutionary. He was at once fiercely intellectual and massively...

    The best Spurs team of all time - number 10, attacking midfielder, second striker

    I agree. But I can also understand people wanting to find a way to get Ginola into the side. Not me, personally, but we all have our favourites!

    The best Spurs team of all time - number 10, attacking midfielder, second striker

    For me, the players in the mix for this position include Gascoigne, Bale, Van der Vaart and Sheringham. Van der Vaart probably wasn't here long enough to be seriously considered for a best-ever Spurs 11. Both Gazza and Bale spent more time in other positions, but both were (close to?) world...

    Very sad news. Properly gutted this morning.

    Going for Spurs this time. I think we'll dominate possession again but will have Kane, Alli and Lamela on from the start so will unlock their defence.

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur Vs Leicester City (FA Cup)***

    Penalty all day for me. Not only is his arm outstretched, but his hand flicks the ball out of Rose's path (albeit not deliberately) giving him an advantage. If that's not a foul, then the hand-ball offence is meaningless. Ref got it spot on.

    The best Spurs team of all time - right wing forward

    You're never going to get a balanced team when squad selection is done democratically. Just got to resign ourselves to that and enjoy the discussions. Once the final votes are in, I'm sure the announcement thread will feature everyone's own personal best ever squads - and they'll tend to be far...
