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

    Even by the already low standards of "half and half" scarves, that's a particularly dodgy one. "Superspur v Leicester"... it's the kind of thing a cruel Chelsea-supporting mate would give you as a birthday present just to watch your head explode. It's a niche market, but it's literally the only...

    The best Spurs team of all time - right wing forward

    As much as I'd like to have a convincing argument against that statement, you're probably right if truth be told. It's very sobering, though, when you realise just how bad we were 15 years ago... so bad in fact, that Simon Davies stands out in my memory is a quality player. Christ.

    Nicolas N’Koulou

    Quick question; if Alderweireld had fecked his ankle at the start of October, do you still think Fazio would have only played one game all season? If you think that - then fair enough, we'll just agree to differ. On the other hand, if you think an injury to one of our first-choice CBs in...

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

    People keep calling this a freak season. I've said it myself more than once. But I'm starting to wonder if this isn't "the new normal". We'll obviously see how it pans out over the next few seasons, but for a whole bunch of reasons (which I won't derail this thread with), I get the feeling the...

    The best Spurs team of all time - right wing forward

    Of the players I've seen personally, my short-list would include... Waddle, Allen, Anderton, Davies, Lennon. Here's a question for you though... what about Ossie Ardiles? I know he wasn't a winger / wing forward, but in my mind he generally tended to play as much on the right of midfield as he...

    Transfer Rumour Thread

    I watched Berahino a handful of times last season and he was deployed primarily as a lone striker (what we're calling the #9 role here). And despite being on the losing side in a couple of the matches I watched, Berahino was comfortably the best player on the pitch. His hold-up play was...

    Nicolas N’Koulou

    If Fazio leaves then we will need a new CB. It's that simple (IMO). I don't know if Veljkovic or CCV are ready to step up and play a major role in our season. And that's what you need from your backup players. You hope they will never be needed. You hope that Alderweireld and Vertonghen will...

    The best Spurs team of all time - central midfield

    The correct answer to this poll is Mackay & Hoddle. I know that. But I never saw Mackay play so I went for Ardiles, secure in the knowledge that I would be comprehensively outvoted by others and Mackay would take his rightful place.

    The best Spurs team of all time - central midfield

    Your dad's probably 6 or 7 years older than me. My first Spurs memories are from the 1978/79 season (though my own dad assures me I was a fan even before that). It was a great time to follow Spurs and a huge part of that was having the most skilful player on the planet (that's how I remember it...

    The best Spurs team of all time - central midfield

    I read that with interest. I'm just telling it from my perspective... 30 year old memories from a kid who basically worshipped Glenn Hoddle for half a decade of his life. :-)

    The best Spurs team of all time - central midfield

    In our current system, the player next to Dier (Dembele and Alli have both filled the role effectively this season) has licence to roam forward. Hoddle in his prime would make us instant title contenders if we currently had him alongside Dier - I honestly believe that.

    The best Spurs team of all time - central midfield

    The highlight reel for most players will concentrate on goalmouth action - and that's understandable. When you add to that the fact that Hoddle scored over a hundred goals for us - many of them amongst the best goals we've ever seen at the club - then it's perfectly natural for younger fans to...

    The best Spurs team of all time - left back

    Damn... completely missed this thread. But my additional vote for Hughton (again, based on the players I have seen personally) would not have changed the result, so no harm no foul.

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

    I take the FA Cup seriously. During my own time as a fan 1980-1982 has definitely been the high point. At the same time though, I also take our current squad seriously. I think players like Bentaleb, Mason, Son, Chadli and so on are perfectly capable of beating a Leicester second string. So...

    Who or what was the turning point for Leicester City ?

    Hate to see a player, having what's likely to be the season of his life, forced out through injury. But realistically, it could hardly be better timing from the perspective of us Spurs fans. Hope there's no complications and he comes back to full fitness. Right after we've finished playing them.

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Everton***

    Been out all day and just finished watching a recording of the match. Don't know what's already been said here, but my own view is that we were by far the better side for most of the game and were unfortunate not to take all three points. Because of that, it's obviously quite disappointing that...

    Quacks & Pseudoscience

    Don't want to get involved in an argument here. We're all united by a single (wonderful) shared experience - that of being a Spurs supporter - and because of that I like how friendly this place can be compared to a lot of the internet... notwithstanding the occasional heated spat on the subject...

    Saido Berahino

    Was it just me, or did anyone else think that Pochettino was half-referring to Berahino when he made that statement about not signing players unless they have "the right profile". From what I can tell, the Pochettino "profile" means hard-working, fit players who are willing to set aside their...
