    The best Spurs team of all time - centre back

    Did you really name a best 11 without Hoddle? I'm guessing your Top 5 Beatles doesn't include John Lennon (gotta make room for Stu and Pete!) ;-)

    The best Spurs team of all time - centre back

    I know. I know. But what's to be done about that?

    The best Spurs team of all time - centre back

    As for formation... whatever we choose is going to result in some great players being left out. 4-4-2 allows us to choose 2 out-and-out strikers, but 4-2-3-1 gives us more space to add midfielders. When I think of the great Spurs teams of my life, it's generally been more about the midfield than...

    The best Spurs team of all time - centre back

    Sticking with Mabbutt, but mainly because I never saw Mackay play. We're not going to whittle all of the great Spurs players from history down to 11, so some sort of selection criteria have to be used. For me - it's a case of only voting for people I have direct experience of (so my "all-time"...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur Vs Watford***

    To a greater or lesser extent maybe. But this place after a loss tends to be more about criticising our own players, manager, chairman, mascot, tea-lady, groundskeeper and ballboys... rather than criticising the opposition. There's generally the same amount of referee-bashing, mind.

    The all new Striker thread..

    That may be true in many walks of life... but the world of football journalism is basically a giant smoke machine, and not a hint of a flame in sight.

    The best Spurs team of all time - centre back

    I know this is an "all time" list, but I'm restricting myself to players I have first-hand knowledge / memories of... my Dad's list would be quite different I'm sure. It means I won't be voting for the likes of Mackay, Blanchflower or even Greaves (despite knowing they almost certainly deserve a...

    Technology And Refereeing

    As a big fan of rugby, I genuinely think the technology has improved the game and I don't see why it can't do the same for football. Not saying it should be implemented in exactly the same way, but I definitely think a ref should be able to talk with a video official after certain incidents (at...

    LMS 15/16 - Champion: jts1882

    Having picked Chelsea, Emirates Marketing Project and Arsenal so far this round; I wish to hell I wasn't still in the running! I'm tempted to go for Spurs this week as I'm on a good run - but that can't go on forever, so I'll pick Man United instead (and hope my run comes to an end).

    Saido Berahino

    Perhaps. But none of us really knows what's happening behind the scenes. But my guess is Berahino's refusal to work hard was making life difficult for Pulis with the other players. Presumably he was doing everything in his power to get Berahino back to work, but was being ignored. This...

    Marcelo Bielsa's Clean Leeds

    The more I read about this, the more I find myself siding with Cellino. Which is an odd position to be in.

    The best Spurs team of all time - centre back

    I'll be voting Ledley +1, but some potential options for that Plus One (from my era)... Mabbutt, Roberts, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Woodgate, Campbell (I know, I know!), Miller, Dawson

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur Vs Watford***

    Weirdly enough, I'm not sure the red card did us any favours yesterday. We weren't at our best (as we all agree, I think) but I do think we were basically in control of the game and by the time the sending off happened, I felt we were likely to win. But once they went down to 10 men, the match...

    Saido Berahino

    According to Pulis... That's actually a pretty mixed message. Sounds to me like Pulis is trying to cover all his bases. Soften up the fans for the possibility / likelihood of Berahino leaving. But at the same time, there's enough positive stuff in there to offer the player a way back into the...

    R.I.P. Lemmy

    I don't come to this forum too often, and I know there's an official music thread. But if Lemmy doesn't deserve a thread of his own, then the world has gone mad. The word "legend" is used far too often these days... but in this case, nothing else will do. R.I.P. Lemmy You Legend. Responsible...

    Christian Eriksen

    Any chance you could post seven numbers between 1 and 47? I'm assuming you don't play the Irish Lotto, so I won't be cutting into your winnings.

    Christmas Wish List

    I think this is a key point. When it comes to transfer strategy / targets, we fans (and I'm as guilty as anyone) love to speculate and infer based on media rumour, the occasional offhand comment from someone at the club or just our own wishful thinking. And when you have a manager like Harry...

    Tom Carroll

    Don't think he was awful, but nor do I think he had his best game for Spurs. Distinctly average today (by his own standards).
