    Unsung Tottenham hero players

    Which players do you think of who were unsung heroes so to speak. Could be a half decent whilst not spectacular player who shone in poor Tottenham sides a la Alan Nielsen. Could be a player or players who you feel were underrated or under appreciated a la perhaps a Darren Anderton. Could be a...

    Jose vs Conte - who did a better job for us?

    So now the dust has settled a bit on us parting ways with Conte, it got me thinking as Spurs fans who do we think did a better job out of the two ‘Super Elite’ Managers that we sold our soul to the devil for during the last 3 years: Jose Mourinho or Antonio Conte? Jose: Played 86 Won 45 Drawn...

    The balance between style of play vs results as a Tottenham Fan

    I’m interested to get an idea of the balance of just how important style of play vs winning games and trophies is as a Spurs fan and the different factors that likely influence that. I’ve made a poll with 3 hypothetical scenarios but discussion is also welcome. The scenarios are: Option 1)...

    Hoddle - Playmaker

    I’ve started reading Glenn Hoddle’s new autobiography ‘Playmaker’. Can’t believe how undervalued he was by England national team because we were so stuck in our ways with the rigid 4-4-2, absolutely travesty. Also interesting that Burkinshaw introduced sports psychologists to the team in 1980...

    Lack of exciting attacking flair ‘Tottenham’ players

    Without going deep into what we think about the quality of the current team/squad and views on the manager and tactics etc, one thing which I think is exacerbating the problem currently is our lack of exciting attacking flair ‘Tottenham’ players. I think this has been an issue for about 3...

    Our set-pieces

    One thing we absolutely have to improve on is our set-pieces. Not just defending them but attacking set-pieces also. We had 10 corners today, 10!! And aside from the offside goal Romero scored we did absolutely nothing from all of them. Either the delivery was poor as it just hit the first man...

    The positivity thread - why you love Spurs

    Times are hard for everyone at the moment because of the global pandemic and unfortunately lately our beloved Spurs under Jose are not providing us with much joy as we’d like and there is understandably a lot of negativity and doom and gloom amongst the fanbase, so let’s start a thread to focus...

    The King Ledley's effect on our defence

    Good piece on how Ledley has had such a positive impact on our defence and Eric Dier particularly, love seeing him on our touchline each week especially his passion last week in the NLD. Yet another very very important shrewd move by Jose brining him in as a coach...

    If the Spurs players were a Poker hand

    Just a bit of fun for anyone who’s a Poker lover, I was chatting to a mate about Sonny being the ‘ace in our pack’ with the world class goals he scores and it got me thinking how would you compare our players to receiving a poker hand in Texas Hold em... My ratings: Hugo = QQ : Pretty bloody...

    We’ve had some very good teams and squads over the last 10 years or so which have produced some of the best performances and memories certainly in my time as a Spurs fan. Fans are now saying that our current squad depth is the best it’s ever been, I wanted to compare our three best Managers...

    I think a lot of us on here have mentioned for a while and especially recently that our player recruitment is not up to scratch so I’m interested to discuss it in more detail especially with those more knowledgeable on the inside PL football set-up side of things. Do any of you have an in depth...

    Prestige

    So during these last 5 or so years under Poch we’ve now started regularly competing with the ‘big boys’ at the top table but one thing I wanted to get people’s thoughts on is how much of a difference does the prestige and status of consistently being at the top and winning then also help your...
