    Stand-In Captain

    Do we know who the captain will be while our captain and two vice-captains are unavailable? If not, who do you think will or should be?

    Pochettino's Achievement

    Good longish article from the NY Times, worth reading through the bits about Messi; they are relevant. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/22/sports/tottenham-pochettino-premier-league.html

    Can You Imagine if We did This?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46309834 Basically, it's a small French club where the fans register online and together by voting, they pick the team. The manager does all the coaching and usual work with the squad on tactics, training etc, but the actual team selection is an on-line...

    Messi v Ronaldo

    Now that autumn's here it's time for an old chestnut. And now that the mighty Tottenham Hotspur have played Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League at our temporary home on two successive seasons, and Ronaldo and Messi not only played but, almost inevitably, scored, we can decide for...

    The Kindness of Strangers

    This longish article is worth a read if you have any reason to love Tottenham. https://blogfeast.wordpress.com/2018/03/05/kindness-of-strangers/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

    The Obstruction Rule

    What’s happened to it? When was the last time a referee gave a free-kick for obstruction? Probably not since London Transport made Blakey redundant, ushering in the “modern era”. Why do referees allow players to stand between the ball and an opponent with their arms spread wide, making no...

    The Greatest: Jimmy Greaves

    Despite this being in the sun, you really should read it: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/2574417/dave-kidd-column-jimmy-greaves-is-the-no1-cristiano-ronaldo-and-lionel-messi-are-still-chasing/

    I much prefer this sort of thing....

    ...to all the stuff we normally get from Mourinho and others like him in the game who cannot be happy for anyone else but themselves, don't you? Or should it be treated so seriously that you can't see beyond your own arse? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37885956

    How Much do Managers Really Matter?

    SORRY: This appears to be a subscription link only, but I can't delete the thread. What do we think of this? I find myself agreeing with most of it. https://www.ft.com/content/0f79860e-605e-11e6-ae3f-77baadeb1c93

    Safe Standing

    I somehow missed that this was already happening in Scotland. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36816657 Will/should/could it happen in England? Most people I know would love to see it.

    St. Gordon Taylor

    St. Gordon Taylor OBE is a marvellous man. I'm hoping he will be genuinely canonised soon. He is the union boss for that underpaid, under-appreciated, silent and invisible underclass of modern-day slavery, professional footballers. So hard is his job that despite declaring zero-tolerance for...

    WC 2018 Boycott? (Racism in Football)

    Lord Triesman is advocating European nations, under the leadership of UEFA, should boycott the World Cup in Russia because of the terrible levels of racism there. Triesman then seems to suggest that if UEFA don't boycott the WC, fans should. It's easy to argue that the principal football...

    Olympic Stadium Fiasco

    It doesn't matter how strongly you were opposed to the idea of Spurs moving to the OS, this article highlights what a travesty the decision to award it to WH was. I'm infinitely happier that we're building our own stadium in Tottenham, but it annoys me that WHU will get such a large benefit at...
