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

    Word here today is that Slot - I'm translating a little literally here - "because he still has two years left on his contract, is not allowed to speak to us himself unless we formally ask Feyenoord for permission". In order for that to happen we would have to show our cards, which is not in our...

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

    There are calls here to 'spend the club's entire CL windfall on a new contract for Slot'. Yesterday, Slot emphasized that he 'still has a two-year contract', but more as a mantra than as a commitment of any kind. Feyenoord is making the obvious noises in the wake of an unexpected title success...

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

    And maybe just to add to that: it is very likely that Levy would regard him as a good fit. At Ajax, Ten Hag and his successors have spent very lavishly on players - Tadic and Blind in 2018-19, Klaassen, Bergwijn, Bassey, Berghuis in subsequent summers. They even bought back their own former...

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

    Common knowledge - no. But it's possible for sure. He is quite straight in his communication, which is why talking around a question like the one Dutch journalists are currently asking him about staying or leaving is so unusual. And he knows what he wants: he was sacked by AZ midway through the...

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

    Here in the Netherlands in the last few days, there was persistent talk of Slot joining us. At a high-profile punditry programme, they even asked him about Spurs. He said he would not comment on any speculation right now, certainly not on individual clubs being mentioned. But he did everything...

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

    Poch to Chelsea still not announced. Any chance that he is still waiting for Levy to change his mind?

    Top 5 Great Games

    For those of us who are not privileged enough to go regularly, it's often a matter of luck - hoping that the games you can attend turn out to be classics. That has its charm too. Looking at the ones I happened to attend (which included many miserable and so-so ones - the recent game against...

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

    We also still have the likes of Reguilon and Lo Celso on the books, who are not bad players, and may blossom under Poch. From a new manager's point of view, it might just be a very good moment to step in. I voted for Poch, never wanted him to leave in the first place, even before I knew that...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Not so sure about that. With the games at home to Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Liverpool, and the away games to United and to Forest for the League Cup, and the difficulty we had to beat Leeds who were going through a bad spell iirc, it was pretty clear that we were not having that good a season at all. We...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I am just trying to think of games this season in which we did play well. Maybe Brighton away? The second half at home to Liverpool perhaps, and part of the game at home to Leeds. And then Emirates Marketing Project at home, and that's probably it.

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    This is not a bad spell. It has been a bad season, papered over by the occasional fluke result. Even our best results (Frankfurt at home, Marseille away, Chelsea at home) were achieved in games when we did not play well.

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I agree completely. The uncertainty around Paratici is an additional complication for Levy here. You just know that he has texted Poch already to ensure that he is available, as of now or in the summer. But if Levy sacks Conte now, and I hope he does given the kind fixture list that we have...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Reading those Poch comments from 2020 again in our current position, I cannot imagine that Levy will look any further for a new manager should Conte leave in the summer.

    ** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v AC Milan **

    My first game at the stadium since Wolves in August, and my first European home game since Kaiserslautern in 1999. Was pretty optimistic back in August after a gritty 1-0, not so much now. Watching the Chelsea game last night gave me a real groundhog day feeling - them winning thanks to some...

    Pape Matar Sarr

    Conte is never going to put Hojbjerg on the bench.

    Oliver Skipp

    Proud to see an academy player perform at this stage. Sarr gets all the plaudits, and rightly so, but I thought Skipp was even better than Sarr last night. Interestingly, we would have talked about Skipp's performance entirely differently if the second major Milan chance would have gone in. He...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    I really appreciate the rapid rebound pods, all of them raw and right on the money. One remark: in your elaborate praise today of Harry in the wake of his goalscoring record - so special indeed that 'we have seen all 267 of them' - I was surprised that none of you mentioned that Harry has...

    Really? I don't remember this, was there a rumoured price for the transfer as well?

    OMT * Tottenham Hotspur v Preston *

    Yes, a strong side by all means. I would still rather face the winner of Luton v. Grimsby in the next round though. Better face City by the time Danjuma, Porro, and our new LCB have settled in.
