Just enjoy the ride mate.

I sat through a 50 minute YouTube clip that somebody posted somewhere in here earlier (I'm off my tits mate, can't remember where I saw it, but I definitely saw it) and I was transfixed throughout it.

Was an excellent insight from a Juventus fan/blogger, about what Conte & Paratici are bringing to THFC.

It's hard to not be excited with things at the club right now. Yet just 18 days ago there was literally nothing to like about it.

God bless THFC (and drugs. Love 'em)

Yup not sure I’ve ever felt like this before about Spurs. In a weird way I’m actually more buzzed than peak pochettino. Feels like with the Stadium Paratici Conte we are on the verge of something really exciting. If this all ends tits up I’m gonna be destroyed ?

He's had the break to work with a few players like Ndombele. Very interested to see how we line up on Sunday.

I mentioned before, that I think we will see a fair few players who didnt play during the internationals so like Ndombele, Dier, Winks, Dele perhaps - just think theyre obviously much more rested, well versed in how Conte wants to play and above all fitter I suspect

There's only one way the latter can happen, and it won't be due to the exciting developments on the managerial and backroom staff side of things. We give these guys decent playing staff to work with and it can only turn out well. There's only one way it can go tits up and if that happens, then there's no way forward. You can't do better managerially and backroom staff than what we're doing now.

He was a good keeper if not a coach


Another one who retired just before I was born (74. retired young though. Only 32 apparently). But I've always been told he was a quality 'keeper.

To be honest, I'm surprised by the Szczęsny quote. As I always thought Wilson was actually a pretty well respected coach?

Still a filthy Goon though.

He formed the Willow Foundation which I can personally attest does amazing work, incredible effort to create and sustain an amazing charity so I am a big fan regardless of my football loyalties.

That's the trouble with you youngsters...................................... no memories of out best times. :cautious: I'm sad for you but hopeful things are on the up with Conte and Paratici I'm feeling a lot better about us than I have for 30+ years. BIG?

We have an overload of youth GK's starting with Alfie Whiteman, Brandon Austin, Thimothee Lo-Tutala, Kacper Kurylowicz, Josh Oluwayemi, Isak Solberg , Adam Hayton, Aaron Maguire and Luca Gunter. Would love to see at least one of them make it through to the 1st team and hopefully Savorani can be the catalyst for that to happen.

I got to know Bob and Megs while their daughter was battling cancer. I was one of the earliest volunteer helpers for the Willow Foundation charity because of that. I did everything from helping at golf days with the celebs, to working at the annual ball and smaller events, to counting (filthy) money after the 'Folk at the Oak' event they put on, and sending out mail outs. It's a fantastic charity and I have seen many videos of real life stories about the recipients of special days, that have brought tears to my eyes. I don't do anything now though apart from supporting them.
Now my husband is involved in an advisory capacity, which shows how highly we regard Bob and Megs, who are lovely, friendly people, and The Willow Foundation.
