    Our squad...your estimate of where the players are at in terms of your expectation

    Ok a very rough poll of where we all see our squad in terms of our personal player by player expectation / against where we think they are at the moment. Left out a few at present ratings thru lack of time played ---------------Expectation v Present Hugo Lloris - 90 / 82 Up and...

    Time for an onfield skipper?

    Well the season is done and it has been a pleasing one. However, personally I believe that having a keeper as captain has cost us this season. Lloris is a fine keeper but the absence of an on field organiser / motivator is a weakness for any side. Sometimes in those clutch moments it is good to...

    Still trying to explain the unexplainable

    Inevitably we have all had some difficult recent conversations with friends and acquaintances who know we support Tottenham. Almost unwittingly I have developed an 'alternative to the mainstream' explanation of what happened. It goes like this: When we were in the UEFA League the club...

    Spurs supporter Johnny 'Hoppo' Hopkins has passed away

    There is a post on Hoxton memories, from a Louise Hopkins stating that Johnny Hopkins has passed away in Ireland aged 66 from a heart attack. R.I.P 'Hoppo' a great yid. Some of the older supporters from the 60's / 70's may remember Johnny Hopkins....famous in the Park Lane RIP.

    We need a captain who is not our goalkeeper, it needs to Vert instead. Discuss....

    As much as I love Hugo Lloris we are struggling having a keeper as our captain. True Poch's original decision to give it to Kaboul was a mistake but given the opportunity to correct it he has failed and we are worse for it. My objection is to keepers being the captain in general and little about...

    No favourites left...I've run out of give a .... :(

    Came to a very worrying realisation at the weekend. As I sat up @2.00am watching the Hull v Tootenham game here in Sydney I realised that there were no Spurs players on the pitch who I actually cared about. You know how it usually is. You always have a few players who you respect for their...

    Drought broken - at last we have midfielders weighing in with goals in EPL

    Much has been written about our problems this season. To me our biggest problem for a long time has been that midfielders have not been scoring. Capoue, Lennon, Chadli, Eriksen, Dembele, Carroll, Livermore, Siggy, Huddlestone, Sandro, Holtby, Paulhino and Townsend were absent from the scoresheet...

    What happens to the idea of players in Spurs history when many are ripped from our grasp?

    As a Spurs fan for over 50 seasons I have seen many great players play for us at WHL and all over the country. My early heroes were Greaves and Jennings then Stevie Perryman, Alfie Conn and Glenn Hoddle. Looking back today I still have great memories of their time. Unfortunately, in more recent...

    Spurs players that excited you when we signed them.

    Ok, many are in a post transfer window depression but there was a time (before the window came in) when Spurs went out and made some fantastic player signings. Which players did you really anticipate coming to us? A couple I remember were Steve Archibald and our Argentenians Ossie and Ricky. I...

    Australian number 10 type midfielder Tom Rogic to Reading

    It looks like Australian number 10 type midfielder Tom Rogic will sign for Reading today. Mentioned this lad in Spurs Chat as a possible target a while back. He is tall, rangy and tends to surge straight through the middle being a decent goalscorer for the Central Coast Mariners of the A League...

    Shades of the old Modric debate...should Dembele be the central attacking midfielder in the 4 5 1?

    Thinking about Dembele he looks to me to be the ideal man to play in behind the main forward in our version of 4 5 1. He beats people for fun, has good movement and would scare the opposition to death running at them on the edge of the box. It would probably mean that we have Sandro and Parker...

    How do you think Glenn Hoddle would go as DOF at Spurs?

    Been checking the ongoing manager odds for Spurs. AVB is clear favourite, still. However, a bit down the list is Hoddle's name. I had the thought that while Levy might not want Hoddle as day to day coach he might give him a run as DOF. It appears that Hoddle does / has done a lot of work with...

    newcastle only committed nine fouls against us yesterday.......

    Not for the first time this season our opposition at the WHL have failed to deal with our quick pass and move stuff. Read that they only committed nine fouls during the game. This was almost as low as the Aston Villa total at the lane in another game where we totally outplayed our opponents...

    Harry comment: We were about to go three at the back..........

    Interested to hear Harry say that they were about to change things up and go three at the back before we suddenly got ourselves back in the game. The Australian commentatory team had said that Pav was stripped and ready to come on but we went with Livermore instead. Just wondering how exactly we...

    Haunting Swansea singing

    Watched the game 2am here in oz after the New Year came in. Through the sound system with head phones on the noise was unbelievable. Told the wife how good it sounded and she laughed saying "Sounds a bit cliched talking about good Welsh singing". The Hymns and Arias/ Land of my fathers song in...

    A back three played to our stengths second half

    Heard the puzzlement on here at the half time substitutions. People this was Harry doing tactics! Whether you call it 3 5 2 or 3 4 1 2 Harry set us up very well to make a game of it second half. Two goals up Stoke were always going to drop off and as we know a Crouch in any forward line doesn't...

    Our goal of the season so far? JD's would go close

    Watching our second goal last night provided that joy you get when something special comes off. BAE > ADE > Defoe two passes and we go 80 yards to score. Perhaps not our best but which ones of ours do you think were better in season 2011-12 so far?
