    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City ***

    The player in the middle is behind the ball, so onside. I sit dead level with that position and I honestly think shooting from there is crazy, if he shot. I'm not sure he didn't just try and smash it across goal and hope for the best. Either way, we should have scored there.

    If it's Clive it's probably worth the extra money.

    Fixture & Ticket News 2024/25

    I've just discovered that because I'm on the automatic cup scheme, I've paid for my 1882 ticket for Qarabag, even though I received no notification of the price in advance. What is the price, I hear you ask? Well, you'll probably be as thrilled as I was to learn that it's £80. That's £80, when...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    I love my music but this lot have escaped my attention. Whenever I saw their name I assumed they were the sort of band who'd struggle to fill the Dublin Castle.

    Absolutely. Not least in his attitude.

    The transfer thread

    We looked more threatening against Emirates Marketing Project with no centre forward than we looked in the preceding games with a centre forward. Football seems to be evolving from two forwards (2000s & 2010s) to one forward (2020-2023) to none.

    Ben Davies

    Can't believe Ben Thatcher hasn't made any of these lists. In fact, the list of worst left-backs might be interesting too. Davies is definitely more than a 5 or 6 imho; as I've said (somewhere) before, he's a top notch back up and squad player at our level, albeit one who's not especially suited...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    Spot on. In that first six months, what stood out for me was how well he managed to slow the game down - in a good way - in the opposition box. Always picked out the right pass, shot at the right times, was calm and precise, linked up brilliantly with Kane/anyone making runs into the area. Last...

    Richarlison

    Soldado might have looked like he was trying hard, but what the fans see isn't always the whole story. I was told the effort he made on match days was not mirrored in his attitude to training.

    Brennan Johnson

    Lots of City fans think he's not going to be good enough for them, and that £40m for an unproven (and apparently quite lazy) player is daylight robbery

    Early indications (Spence, Ndombele) are that Ange is not a big fan of players with acknowledged character 'issues'.

    Agree. But it will receive continuous funding. At least that's what I have heard. Circumstances change etc. but don't be surprised if this is longer lasting than the Chinese experiment.

    I'm not sure sustainability has any relevance in Saudi. They are seeking to buy up all the world's leading sportspeople: they started with golf, with tennis reputedly next, while hoovering up footballers at the same time. Money is literally no object; they can pay for football with the interest...

    Transfer fred.

    I have been told (by a high up at a PL club who have fended off several offers for their players over the last two months) that this summer's activity is very much the opening salvo; the Saudis are using the current signings to legitimise the league before making bids for the big, young stars in...

    Emerson Royal

    I still think Emerson is a stopgap at right back. He's improved (vastly), but he's not a good passer of the ball; he's one footed and plays it too slowly. The gap between him and the best players in that position is pretty big. For this system to work well enough that we can take on and beat the...

    Micky van de Ven

    There is an interesting insight from Tim Spiers in this week's View From the Lane podcast, saying that Spurs had very strong interest in Max Kilman at Wolves - and that the scouting department were recommending him - but that Ange didn't think he was quick enough and preferred Micky. Pace is...

    If ever proof was needed that Alex Ferguson was pretty good at managing football clubs, our failure to refresh a very good team provides it. He continually evolved the team – not just the squad – from a position of strength. We watched an excellent side ossify in front of our eyes.

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    It really feels - again - that this appointment is an absolutely crucial decision, and it's ironic that Levy's attempt to appoint someone else to take control of the recruitment has backfired because he recruited the wrong person. I have been privy, in the past, to some fairly reliable inside...

    Son Heung-Min

    Son's performance against Preston was a case of a player being able to play in a manner that suited him, rather than being shoehorned in to a system that highlights his weaknesses. If I could change one thing about the way we set up it would be to excuse Son from all defensive duties and tell...

    Dele Alli

    I'm pretty sure Dele was at his best before Son became a regular in the side. Lots of his goals were scored when he drifted into the spaces either side of Kane; spaces that haven't existed since Sonny became a regular, which he wasn't for a long period under Poch. I'm not sure there's room for...
