    What would happen if you had two managers (or three[maybe five])?

    What would happen if we appointed more than one manager and allotted them various games over the season? We could assign a different manager to each cup and when they get knocked out, they lose their job! We could divide the league matches in various ways. Someone could take all the 'big'...

    Ryo Miyaichi

    Not sure if anyone's brought this up before (if then have then punch me in the balls) But Ryo Miyaichi's gone to Bolton on loan. This could be pretty interesting as he seems to be kinda under the radar for how good he potentially is. It's strange how they (fans/media) overhype young arsenal...

    A lovely (and rare) old history of Spurs

    http://tottenhamism.wordpress.com/2011/12/29/tottenham-hotspur-birth-progress-simmons/ Recently I was reading a biography of Vivian Woodward - it put me in mind to start collating all those older and rarer books that feature the club. Some of these books are probably a little expensive - but...

    My first ITK

    We had a scout on the plane going to see Porto, going to see Falcao... That's as much as I know, he may have been mugged outside the ground, missed the match and developed an irrational hatred of all things porto, he may have watched the cute colombian score 4 goals and then partied the night...

    After all the talk about reserves, The new generation league?

    There doesn't seem to be much information about but it's suggested we'll be one of the clubs involved. As I can tell it's some kind of pan european competition for U18s and reserves with the intention of raising standards.

    Does Spurs Slash Fiction exist?

    This may be the worst thread ever posted but whatever.... Does footballer slash fiction exist? I raised the issue here: http://tottenhamism.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/spurs-slash-fiction/ But really? To be clear, I really don't want to see any, i'm just curious. Football is a rather...

    Man Utd may be a poor side but...

    But you can't give the ball away as cheaply and as often as we did. This was the key to the match for me, everything else pales into insignificance. If we know that a) we're not defensively resilient and b) we haven't, in recent weeks, had the cutting edge up front, then possession is...

    Are you warming to Sherwood as a future manager?

    Seeing the ITK about Redknapp becoming England manager as soon as the opportunity arises, you have to wonder who will replace him. Everything points to Sherwood becoming a fixture at the club and, in lieu of any other obvious candidates, why not manager sooner rather than later? People were...

    Could we take to a manager like the Liverpool fans have with Benitez?

    I know they have a culture of supporting their managers and they've cultivated a 'victim' mentality over their media treatment and their boardroom shenanigans - but even so, the extent of their love for Benitez is pretty hard to understand. Imagine if he'd done the same at Tottenham (leaving...

    Ever heard of the Greek Maradona?

    Apologies if this has appeared before but I just saw this at the guardian and thought it was worth posting. There was a Iraklis player in the 70s and 80s called Vassilis Hatzipanagis who was widely considered to be in the class of Pele and Maradona. If you check his wikipedia page you can...
