    Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

    I loved Eriksen but he never would have reached the same legacy as Modric. Modric moved to Madrid at 26 and hasn't looked back for almost 12 years never mind what he has done for his country. Eriksen moved to inter at 28 and at first struggled to make the team, I don't believe real Madrid had...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

    I wouldn't mind that either, but If he was to be replaced these days £70k gets you young, potential roll of the dice (but we have been quite good at this recently). Double that gets you a pretty decent standard of player. Treble that (roughly) gets you a top player. Also to be fair to him he...

    Club announcement

    Its pretty standard when leaving a job for a competitor. They have a notice period but you want to restrict the information they can take. So they are not allowed to work for the competitor until the notice period finishes and they are not allowed to discuss anything / get files from their...

    Joe Lewis and insider trading

    I don't think anyone has ever said Joe Lewis was squeaky clean. Show me one billionaire who is? Still his dirty money hasn't financed anything but more money for himself. so we are not actually run on his dirty money. Also this court case has nothing about his money but more about giving...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

    My memory is slightly different. Seb had a interest in the firm that would knock Crystal Palace down for housing etc. Something that wouldn't happen if Spurs bid succeeded (and didn't happen anyway). Seb also wanted a role in IOC so had to be seen pushing for legacy of the London Olympics. Our...

    Tottenham Hotspur Breaches of Jermain Defoe Transfer - Times Exclusive

    It sounds to me we employed a registered agent and had a contractual arrangement with them (that is who we paid) . That agent employed a non registered agent to help him as he had a relationship with defoe. The FA also had the details and obviously didn't see much of an issue. Seems like a bit...

    The GOAT

    Apart from the odd highlight I have never seen Pele but his longevity and stats tells an amazing story. My first footballing memory was the hand of god so I absolutely hated Maradona but when you looked at his career and how he pretty much carried a poor Argentina and a lowly ranked (although I...

    What's Grinding Your Gears - Football Edition

    SOAP DODGING BASTARDS. Spent 5 years in Paisley (come on St Mirren) whenever Morton was mentioned it was always a natural reaction for everyone to shout SOAP DODGING BASTARDS. That is one thing that has always stuck with me.

    Your 1 favourite Spurs Player of all Time

    I am surprised so few people have suggested Modric. A truly magical player I could quite happily watch a match just concentrating on him.

    Your 1 favourite Spurs Player of all Time

    Hoddle was the reason why I support spurs but he left not long afterwards. It has to be between Hoddle, Gazza and Modric (I guess I have a type) and I can't choose between them I think if I had got into football earlier and/or Hoddle stayed longer I suspect it would have been Hoddle out by...

    Tottenham return 13 positive Covid-19 tests - with eight players included

    I know this is off topic but I always wandered why he shouted Arsenal. I always thought it was something like a sneeze sounding like saying a Jew instead of achoo and spurs being seen as a Jewish club so basically saying he isn't a Jew (even though Arsenal probably have similar numbers of...

    Gareth Bale seeks Tottenham return

    If Wales gets through their playoffs then he will want to be fit and on form for the world cup in December, I have a feeling he might drop off after that, so would a contract up until December be possible?

    Arsenal

    some statisticians have basically said if you have a chance on goal in a certain part of the pitch you would be expected to score a certain percentage of the time. So if you have the ball directly in front of goal ahead of the penalty spot you are more likely to score (for example 50%...

    Most hated player by a club

    Leicester seem to absolutely hate Kane but that seems to be purely because he went there on loan and was shit.
