    Jan Vertonghen

    The frightening thing is that his pace has evaporated. Looks so exposed and that has to affect your whole approach to the game. May explain why he missed the start of the season and hasn’t been signed up.

    Tanguy Ndombele

    This sounds a bit reminiscent of Ilie Dumitrescu. I was told that despite his talent, the coaching staff soon discovered that he didn’t fancy the physical side of the game in England. One heavy tackle and he wasn’t interested. It was why he soon disappeared at Spurs.

    Obscure players and memories

    Neil McNab. Amazingly, I was at his debut game for us --- in the reserves (I was not a regular attendee and cannot recollect why I went on that occasion). I remember that he did an outrageous bit of skill which brought a cheer from the miniscule crowd and a thumbs up appreciation from the...

    Son Heung-Min

    The problem I have with the decision is that Atkinson had shown him a yellow based on his observation of the tackle but without knowledge of the severity of the injury. To then change it is not part of any rule I know. Otherwise every time a challenge leads to serious injury, it should be a...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I think there was a bad luck in how we ended up with 10 men as a result of the type of challenge that happens numerous times but without a catastrophic result. And add in the fact that Atkinson decided to change his mind.....

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    We had not inconsiderable good fortune in our Champions League run last year. Are we paying a price with the opposite now?

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    I agree with this. Eriksen's involvement is mystifying at the moment. You have to wonder if he would have started if Lamela was fit. But why he stayed on after we went behind.... I just don't get it. Strangely, I'm encouraged that if we can get Lo celso up to speed, we may still salvage the...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    Looking back, I believe the last game that we were looking like the exciting attacking Poch team was away at Everton in December. That day the team was : 1 Lloris 2 Trippier 6 Sanchez 4 Alderweireld 33 Davies 8 Winks 17 Sissoko 23 Eriksen 20 Alli 7 Son 10 Kane Substitutes 3 Rose 11 Lamela...

    Pick Your Poison

    It is an interesting issue -- how does a decision be made that a coach has to go because he will not reclaim prior glories? One could take the approach that it can't be defined but we will know it when we see it. Or, the classic, "has he lost the dressing room" approach. I would suggest that...

    Pick Your Poison

    Of course! I was responding to the previous posters comment (which may have been tongue in cheek) regarding whether Ole would get more time at Man Utd because he scored the winner in the Champions League final in 1999.

    Pick Your Poison

    I think that you would find that supporters of the other clubs would take issue with that sentiment!! :) I agree that we are underperforming at the moment, but reserve judgment on whether this is a blip or the end of days until I've seen our new signings integrated and more games played.

    Pick Your Poison

    I have seen numerous posts on different platforms by Spurs "fans" calling for his head. I'm glad you agree that makes no sense but, believe it or not, there are others who take the contrary view. My point is, and remains, that perspective can be gained by looking at the several teams that were...

    Pick Your Poison

    Ole will be gone by Xmas. No to holding fire, because he has no managerial track record apart from abject failure at Cardiff. Ardiles and Hoddle winning the FA Cup didn't save them at Spurs. Performance as a player really should not have any influence on retention as a coach. Poch gets time to...

    Pick Your Poison

    My point was that several of the more fancied teams have also suffered poor starts to the season, Wolves among them. And that short term thinking frequently leads to poor results, as our history and those of other teams has often shown. Or would you rather repeat the failures of the past by...

    Pick Your Poison

    What bothers me about the latest reaction is what it says about the mindset of certain "supporters". No one is above criticism. I have issues with some of Poch's decisions, now and in the past. The away form is of concern (although last season was beset by injuries to key players in the latter...

    Pick Your Poison

    I have been staggered at the amount of vitriol being spouted after yesterday's loss. There appears to be a total lack of any perspective. Smacks very much of a "what have you done for me lately" mindset. Well, Poch has had us in the top 4 for 4 years and just got us to a Champions League final...

    The Official 2019/20 Premier League Thread

    It is all about mentality. They retreated to hold on to what they had which was the last thing they should have done. Attack the 10 men with the porous defense and they would have won.

    Jan Vertonghen

    One thing that concerns me is Poch's repeated references to the squad being unsettled and how that might apply to Jan. The focus has largely been on Eriksen, Rose and Toby, but Jan is another one of those in the last year of his contract. With him not being played in any of our opening games, I...

    ~ OMT ~ TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC v Liverpool FC ~ THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL ~ 2019 ~

    It is not that I'm superstitious you understand, but am I the only one thinking that we should wear the green kit for the final? Unexpected and unbelievable wins at Emirates Marketing Project and Ajax testify to its winning effect (okay I am superstitious!).
