    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    The cup thing is an unfortunate non-event but it's a really bad look and he'll take stick for it rightly or wrongly. He said someone handed him the cup and he didn't notice which seems reasonable to me. However, if the person who handed him the cup did it deliberately, that's absolutely...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You can't claim that I "superfluously" described Romero and VdV as excellent and then bucket Jan, Toby and Ledley with Baresi and Maldini under the same heading. Baresi and Maldini were two of the best to do it in the history of the game. Between them they won 13 Serie A titles (at a time when...

    Cristian Romero

    Conte said it for selfish reasons. He wanted the bullet and made his position untenable. I generally remember Conte’s reign favourably, based on results, and think we missed an opportunity there but his rant was 100% self serving IMO. I don’t get the same feeling from Romero. He’s committed to...

    Cristian Romero

    What Romero has said there is, ordinarily, completely unacceptable and unprofessional. However, it's clearly the result of years of frustration and clearly he's speaking for lots of other players. On balance, I've no issue with it. Too many people have said the same thing for there not to be a...

    This shower better do something notable in the window after all their talk in September. An 18 year old Brazilian left back doesn’t come close to cutting it. If they don’t pull a rabbit from the hat, they can get fudged. If we continue to operate as we’ve done for 25 years, having fudged the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    They’re internationals for Spain, Argentina, The Netherlands and England though. You don’t play for those countries without being very good. Fair enough, Porro hasn’t been a regular in the squad and nor has Spence but they are good players. The CBs are excellent players too. Fair enough, they...

    It’s a bit of an arbitrary table (125 games) so I wouldn’t be putting so much stock in it that its definitive. If Frank or the club think it’s acceptable for us to finish behind Brighton, Brentford or Fulham because we’re worse than them, we have more serious problems than I thought.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    I can’t accept that we are worse than Fulham, Brentford or Brighton. Yes we have to be realistic, we’re not top 4 challengers anymore, but accepting we’re not as good as those teams and are a bottom half club is a dangerous dropping of standards. There were extenuating circumstances towards the...

    14th wasn’t acceptable in the 90s. It sure as fudge isn’t acceptable now. Top half is bare minimum. To be fair, we’re not far away points wise but I’m struggling to see us getting there looking at our performances.

    It’s absolutely irrelevant mate. Just popped into my head when I saw a few posts lamenting the loss of Kane and Son.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    The problem was that, at times, statistically we were better in terms of points won over a short run of games. The stupidity of it was that those conclusions were being drawn without consideration for who we were playing or what a generational talent Kane is and was. Never rely on stats used in...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    Anyone remember all those people who said we were a better side when Kane didn’t play? Heard it from some fans, opposition fans and some media. fudging hilarious notion then and even more hilarious in hindsight.

    It was the absolute correct decision. How is that a shambles? Was a great example of VAR working IMO.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    Nathan Collins would no way get into our team ahead of VdV, Romero or Danso. Believe me, he’s decent but not at that level. There’s less pressure and scrutiny at a club like Brentford which can help lads look like better players than they’d look at a big club.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    I wouldn’t be in favour of sacking him yet. Give him the season unless it gets dangerously bad. The potential upside is very little and we’d have to pay him and his staff off. And perhaps he’ll turn it around and prove me wrong. However, if he does last the season and finishes bottom half, he’s...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    I think your post is absolutely correct…based on the game tonight. But we’re 14th. That can’t be acceptable in any way shape or form. In February we have City, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Man U and Woolwich. He’s in the results business. They have to pick up quickly because bottom half of the table is...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    Thought we were decent and unlucky not to get a point. At least it was watchable I guess. But we lost. And we’re 14th more than halfway through the season. That’s just plain unacceptable. If you have standards, you don’t put up with that. Sunday and today were better but the stark reality is...

    It didn’t. He maintained his balance and initiated the contact deliberately afterwards.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    Agreed. He maintained his balance so wasn’t impeded. But if he went down, he could claim otherwise. Second one certainly isn’t a pen. Was the right decision by the ref sadly. VdV tried to cheat to be fair.

    First tackle is more a pen. If he goes down there, it’s probably a pen.
