    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    Many West Ham fans probably feel the same. Up until Wolves, they had momentum and we were going nowhere. The truth is, there's next to nothing to separate our teams. We're both very poor, for different reasons. Maybe they'll pull it off but, again, we hold all the cards at the moment. If we go...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    Think of it that way: would you rather be in our situation or in West Ham's? Out of the six possible results on Sunday, there's only one that leads to West Ham staying up. We might blow it - and I still think it would be a disaster for the club - but I've made my peace. When you play Russian...

    Let's hope the players have cooler heads than the majority of us on here! It's a shame we couldn't get the job done tonight but, more than ever, we remain in control of our destiny. West Ham have to win. They are very capable of that, but that's not a given either. Many people thought they'd...

    The we are staying up thread

    When you think about it, it's incredible to think that 80 minutes into the Wolves game, we looked as good as done and now we're one point away from safety. Let's not count our chickens but if we do survive, I really hope it will be a wake-up call and people within the club will use that horrible...

    It's the best result we could hope for, but I'll relax once that last point is in the bag. Anything could still happen, but the West Ham players must be massively disappointed after such a result. More than ever, it's up to us to finish the job.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    It's not looking very likely though as FIFA keeps on tweaking the rules (Wenger in particular). They obviously want to bring football closer to American sports, while using the controversy and so-called 'drama' to sparkle online debate. As far as I can tell, they either don't care about what's...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    The problem is that margins have become so thin in the PL that refereeing calls/mistakes can be the difference between safety and relegation or being champions/runners-up. Over the course of the season, there's very little to separate us from West Ham and yet one club will be playing in the...

    https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/sadiq-khan-west-ham-tottenham-spurs-taxpayers-london-stadium-b1281935.html You have got to be kidding me. When there's already a huge debate on refereeing, it's not a very clever move for the London mayor to go out of his way and basically say 'it would...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    It's hard not to feel down after last night, but we remain in the driving seat. Chelsea fans hate us, so it will be another test of the team's character. I really wished it hadn't come to this but like someone mentioned earlier, the injury after our goal sort of knocked the rhythm out of the...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    Tonight, we will know if the win at Villa was down to their schedule of if we have really turned a corner. Only thing that bothers me is that we still have to win and Leeds have been doing extremely well for the past two months. I'd feel fairly confident of a draw, but they have a lot of...

    Antonin Kinsky

    From what I gathered of De Zerbi's football, you need a goalkeeper who's good on the ball and who's fast enough to play in a sweeper-keeper role, a la Neuer. Being good on the line is a bonus. Pickford is a quality keeper but I'm not sure he fits that bill, although I'm sure we'll be able to...

    Antonin Kinsky

    Vicario is a (slightly) better keeper, but Kinsky is more suited to the brand of football De Zerbi wants to play. For me, the differential is that Kinsky might pull off a great save every now and then (if he hadn't against Wolves, the mood would be quite different) while Vicario's passing isn't...

    It will be another tense week-end, but even in the best-case scenario, we would 'only' be 4 points off West Ham with two games to go, ie still not safe. We blew our last joker when we lost at home to Forest. We can't afford to relax until the season is over now, and the players should know this...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    This one won't be easy because Leeds are on a good run and all the noise surrounding Villa rotating players will make them wary of taking their foot off the gas. Still, they're not particularly defence minded, which is what I fear the most right now. A team parking the bus is probably the worst...

    João Palhinha

    If his agent is worth something, he's got a big fat contract waiting for him in Saudi Arabia - although recent events may have made this scenario less appealing. Still, unless he can't manage his money at all, he's a made man. He's got at least another season left at Bayern. Then he'll be 32 and...

    João Palhinha

    He deserves a lot of praise for his attitude. He's not the kind of player who's worth the entry fee alone, but when you think about it... The guy is 31, on loan in a team that isn't going anywhere. Third manager of the season comes in, and he's on the bench. How many people in his position would...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa, Sun May 3rd, 7pm, Villa Park ***

    We're not there yet, but I have to confess that when Richarlison scored, I thought a big F-U to the pundits and to the fans of other PL clubs... then I had to add a big F-U to myself for even considering relegation was a foregone conclusion at some point.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa, Sun May 3rd, 7pm, Villa Park ***

    Another very important aspect of yesterday's game, for me, was that we often looked like we had an extra player compared to Villa. Of course, they were probably more interested in their upcoming game with Forest while we were fighting for our lives, but we often had two or three players pressing...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa, Sun May 3rd, 7pm, Villa Park ***

    Best performance of the season, we score two goals without (arguably) any of our creative players... We're not out of the woods yet - not by a long shot - but at least everything is in our hands. Congratulations to De Zerbi if he pulls this off, but I think the players who were on the pitch...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa, Sun May 3rd, 7pm, Villa Park ***

    I think a point we're missing is that it's not always about players' ability. What makes a team successful is often a combination of good coaching and positive momentum. Sometimes, all you need is a tactic that fits the players you have at your disposal. Think about Leicester's Premier League...
