    The Ineptitude Index 2016

    http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/may/05/premier-league-ineptitude-index-2015-16-leicester-city An interesting read and perhaps food for thought as Poch goes into pre-season. Spurs scoring poorly on blowing a two-goal lead, yellow cards for dissent/stimulation and failing to find a...

    New contract for Alli?

    Already a ridiculous amount of hype about the lad which is only going to get worse after last night and he's obviously only just started his Spurs career. But if he's not on the radar of all the top European clubs already he will be very soon. Is it ridiculous to suggest Daniel should get the...

    [Update 162] JJetset on rhymes

    Who: JJetset When:27/08/14 Where: SC one or 2 things may happen yet....(outs and ins) some things are near but not near enough to discuss.(assuming i will anyway) Over the next day or so things should become clearer. I will spend the next day looking for football teams that rhyme with names...

    Good luck Luka and Gareth

    Still blows my mind slightly that you were both playing in our colours not too long ago. Think a Champions League final justifies your decision to leave though and hope you do yourselves proud. Make sure that you don't forget the club that helped you get there tonight. And if you're unlucky...

    Sandro's knee

    Thought this place needed a thread to discuss the progress of that most crucial of cruciate ligaments. Will it be working by pre-season? Is he currently sunning it on a Brazilian beach? Does Sandro even need two knees? That sort of thing. Not since Ledley left have Spurs' fortunes hinged so...

    Another reason to be cheerful....

    Very upbeat analysis of Andros Townsend and the kind of impact he can make when given a run of games (even in a disasterous side) http://www.football365.com/f365-features/8715520/Townsend-Tasty-For-Tottenham-And-U21s Don't see any reason why he couldn't replicate that kind of form in a Spurs...

    Ancelotti to PSG

    Looks like it's all done and dusted now. Quick look on an online oddschecker has Mark Hughes or David Moyes as next favourites to take over from Harry when he goes. This is not filling me with Christmas cheer. More important than ever that DL pulls out all the stops to keep Harry now.

    Big Sam to Wet Spam

    Here's hoping his love of ageing players on massive wages puts the final nail in their financial coffin of a club.

    Whisper it...

    ...but does anyone else think that the injuries to Bale and Modric turned out to be a blessing? With all fit, the temptation will always be to play a midfield of Bale, Modric, Lennon and one other with VDV just in front. Wonderfully gifted though they all are, I feel that this leaves us...

    Steven Pienaar - first impressions

    Looks combatitive, energetic, motivated and committed. Not sure that he's quite got the range of passing or ability to deliver a killer ball that some of our other midfielders have but think he makes up for it with his other qualities. Sure he will chip even with the odd goal too as he gets...

    Best Premiership season ever

    ...in terms of total points scored by my reckoning already. Not bad with two games to go. Whatever happens now, hope everyone appreciates the massive progress we've made and that any lingering doubts about Harry are put to bed. We've not had it so good for many a year. :clap::beer:

    Arsenal Injuries for the NLD

    Couldn't have happened to a nicer club... Gallas out for season, Arshavin out for "two to three weeks" and Fabregas may have broken his leg slamming home the penalty that should never have been. Things may be looking up for April 14th....

    Anybody missing Europa football?

    I know Fulham had an amazing night vs Juventus but watching them prepare to drag their players out on another Thursday night against Wolfsburg made me think just how glad I am to be rid of this ridiculous competition. There were times when I was completely pre-occupied with us getting into...

    Daring to dream...

    If ...just IF the planets allign, our players hold their nerve and we manage to hold on to 4th place I wonder how people think our team would actually get on in the Champions League? Having seen a fair amount of the play so far in the knock-out stages I reckon we would get hammered unless we...

    Goals from midfield

    Easy to lay the blame at the strikers when we draw another blank but strikes me that most truly top teams have midfielders who can contribute with key goals. My worry with Spurs is that when Defoe is having an off day it's hard to see where else the goals will come from. Also makes life a hell...

    What does the Kaboul signing...

    ...say about Harry's plans for Ledley? If it goes through, I reckon it's the clearest sign yet that he doesn't see him lining up for us next year. Just wonder when someone is going to go public.

    Time to settle for three strikers?

    Looking at the teams around us, none (City aside) have four 'big-name' international quality strikers. Seems to me that you can never keep them all happy meaning that that one tends to end up an unecessary disruptive influence. If rumours are true that Pav is off and that there is not much...

    Transfer strategy

    Although I'm sure there's not a shred of truth in it, the story linking us with Diego Capel again today got me thinking. Pretty much all of Harry's signings have been low risk...players that have already proven that they can perform in the Premiership. It can be an expensive approach but he...

    Gomes = irreplaceable

    Know he's a confidence player but that seems to be growing by the day and when he's on the kind of form that he showed yesterday I'm not sure there's anyone better. He's got his critics but when you look around at the other No 1s out there I can't see any realistic improvements. Hope Harry...

    Luka's leg

    Talk from the top was that he might be eligible for the Pompey game. If that's still the case, shouldn't we have seen pics of him skipping around training again? Anyone got any up-to-date news on his fitness? I'm beginning to miss the little guy.
