    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Did a real double take today when I saw Ange and his family at a well known theme park. Didn’t want to bother him or intrude on his family time, but the guy has a real big aura about him! I wouldn’t want to be on his bad side!

    Harry Kane

    Once again the fans of the club are the losers, despite being those same fans being the only constant at the club. Everything comes and goes - owners, managers, players. We just all end up suffering in the bad periods, which feels pretty much the default state since the eighties.

    Harry Kane

    Very hard to balance the Kane equation with the contract situation dictating that he's going to go this summer or next. To be honest I really thought 2021 was the year he was off and after the last great false dawn of 2022 it was easy to daydream that he was going to stay but the 22/23 shambles...

    Harry Kane

    He's a fantastic player, one of the best in the world. Can't believe he has been at Spurs! It does feel like a gut punch that the club hasn't won anything over the last two cycles of great squads. However, this might be the opportunity and catalyst for the renewal we all desperately need. We're...

    VVD did okay. It’s weird because my local team (Exeter City) has imported a few of Scottish Prem players over the last few years and they’re generally league one/two level but there have been some elite level players at the big two clubs in Scotland for sure. If it is AP, I doubt he’ll be...

    The reality of no European football

    It’s awful that we’re in this position and it really feels unbelievable. I was at the game at home vs forest and we finished that six points clear of Liverpool, safely in 4th. The week after that was the Southampton debacle which actually doesn’t seem that bad now. Just read that the last time...

    Still is interesting. Seventeen games unbeaten in any top league is impressive, though whether he at his age and relative lack of experience could navigate the structural issues at Spurs is a big question mark for me.

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Nottingham Forest

    I picked a great game for my first trip up this season. I’m sure everything was a lot more hopeful when I picked up my ticket. Not holding out much hope.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Thought the Athletic article was interesting reading. Reminded me of how miserable it got at times last season (Burnley away) and how it all came together at the end somehow. I think both sides are really really fond of playing politics in a way that we've not experienced even under Mourinho...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Burnley

    Leeds away? That was a half twelve. I'd love for us to score a few early again!

    Harry Kane

    Might just be rewriting the past but given the Amazon documentary and his fawning over Mourinho, it really makes you wonder if he was the catalyst for Poch going, because when stuff got tough it didn't suit Kane's ego. Feeling like the boy Kane has hoodwinked us a bit and for some reason it...

    Harry Kane

    It feels very stage managed, in the same way the Bale no show turned out to be apparently stage managed. It's stuff like the promo shots of the new away kit, the focus on Son as the man. I also wonder if the no show is designed to upset the fans and make it more palatable when it goes ("get out...

    Trevor Birch

    I was reading about the Man City takeover in the Atheletic recently (https://bit.ly/32IO51b) and thought it was curious that they mentioned that Probably an outside bet but you do wonder if the restarting of the fax machine and the board restructure hints at something going on.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th September 2020

    It means the 'effective cause of a given event', so we're spending money as a result of something happening. Maybe they finally found the log in code for the overdraft, maybe Levy got his cataracts done and has seen the struggles on the pitch finally or maybe something is happening with ENIC as...

    Jose Mourinho

    We look totally devoid of confidence at the moment for sure. Don’t think it’s the coach but rather an accumulation of all the near misses over the Poch-era. Belief and confidence is hard to come by and it feels like the players are feeling the same weight of it all as we the fans are. Mourinho...

    Match Threads Lokomotiv Plovdiv vs Spurs - Match Thread - Europa League

    Tough place to go and the wheels could have come off. However, the result is all that matters. Sometimes you win badly! Optimistic that the minutes the team gets now will make them sharper as the games come along and we’ll hopefully have the depth in the squad to manage them. Fingers crossed...

    Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

    When they signed him, I seem to remember Madrid built a stage but we dicked them around long enough they had to take it down to play the first game of the season and then put it back up. Thank god the skywalk is permanent.

    Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

    Does anyone know how long it was after him leaving that he was linked back to us? Trying to work it out. Memory seems to say it wasn't all that long.
