    Leadership through the eyes of supporters!

    Quite odd to ask about the coaching staff and players in one go. I feel very differently about them.

    +++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

    You have to go back six managers, to Conte, for us to win our first game under a new manager.

    Determining how to rank English clubs success and where Spurs would rank.

    Nothing before living memory should count, and since all competitions were suspended from 1939-1945, the sensible starting place is when the League resumed for the 1946-47 season.

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    So apparently Spurs refused to let the revolting nutcase formerly known as Kanye West perform at the stadium, showing considerably more sense than the people who run the Wireless festival.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I hope they don’t let Andreas Georgsen go. He has made a massive difference. Retaining him would at least be evidence that RDZ is pragmatic, flexible, and knows a good thing where he sees one.

    Training videos

    Vaguely apropos, what’s happened to those stupid videos that were ubiquitous on r/coys and Spurs social media up until the tail end of the Frank regime? The ones where each of the players undertook some sort of TikTok-friendly challenge, like balancing cakes on their noses, or factoring...

    Would relegation be that bad?

    Any particular provocation or was he just demonstrating dominance of his area?

    The Grauniad article is seven years old, but we can be pretty confident that nothing it complains about has changed, so that’s fine.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Without wanting to be too fair-minded where the Woolwich supporters are concerned, they were effectively blocked from talking about Partey on all UK platforms, because it was sub judice.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    He didn’t, in fact, say sorry. He said “I’m sorry if this offended anyone’s feelings”. That’s very different. And, like Glenda, I’m mainly appalled at how unprofessional this is from a PR perspective. Any organisation of the club’s size should be able to get these basics right.

    I was wrong and I am sorry. Not tricky, is it?

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    “I’m sorry if this offended anyone’s feelings. . .” “I have a daughter . . .” Two of the worst things you can do in these circumstances, the non-apology apology with a conditional “if”, and demanding brownie points for having a female relative. Unbelievable that the club can’t afford and...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Are bidding wars usually public? There’s definitely more competition now for promising youngsters, no idea how that manifests in the behind-the-scenes behaviour of clubs and agents.

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Your “golden era” includes 2013, when we spent the Gareth Bale loot on Paulinho, Chadli, Soldado, Capoue, Chiriches, the rabona chappy, and Eriksen. Scattergun, with one very obviously good buy. And however much Hitchen was a downgrade, the most important thing here is that, as you say, in the...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    This is cherry-picking, though. We’ve always been a bit scattergun, a bit opportunistic, a bit stingy, and sometimes very lucky. You’ve picked the nine standout players from an era when our transfer logic was just as you describe it, but we just happened to be able to field a good and consistent...

    Bigger Legend? Johnson, Woodgate or Nielsen

    Judges tell juries to ignore the true and bleeding obvious all the time, because their job is to ensure that convictions are only based on admissible evidence. The victim was adamant that he was targeted because of his ethnicity.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Goodness yes, the only question is whether he stays a respectable eighteen months or flames out in six.

    ENIC

    Yes, unless it was backed by Saudi money or something equally revolting, and I’m not sure how Levy would be able to buy out the Lewises unaided. So the only scenario in which this is a realistic prospect is one where the football operation is deeply devalued but the property and events...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    As far as I can see, RDZ rocked up at the EPL with a clever trick of exploiting opposition pressing which delighted football hipsters, but which other managers soon worked out how to counter, and which turned out to be the only weapon in his armoury. He was stuck when dealing with a low block...
