Their wages to turnover was something ridiculous like 110% wasn't it?
Dunno the exact level but yeah, they basically got themselves into a position where they had to reguarly sell players for big profits just to make the numbers add up. And for a few years they did exactly that - Kante, Drinkwater, Mahrez, Maguire, Chilwell etc. But it's a high-risk strategy and it only requires a few bad signings or players running their contracts down for the whole thing to fall apart.

Stop the presses! ESPN pundits hating on Spurs? Never!

Their collective disdain for Spurs is bordering on unreasonable and unprofessional at times. All of them.
Yeah that clip is really insulting. I didn’t realise Nicol was that stupid - apparently 10 goals and 8 assists from a midfielder is ‘going missing for the season’. Hislop’s comment was shit too. One poor season after 12 or 13 seasons in Europe in a row and we’re a mid table team?

Nicol seems to have a genuine dislike for us. Who hurt him? Where did we touch him? They’re both now on my ‘Jaydee’ list of people that I’ll cheer when they get sacked from their jobs in a year or two.

The ESPN coverage is the closest thing on TV to Talksport for me.

Feels like they're actively encouraged to have polarising, tabloid opinions to drive engagement.

It's the most cheap, disingenuous punditry I've seen from all the main channels when I'm totally legally watching Spurs online.

The ESPN coverage is, and always has been, terrible. The pundits come unprepared, hungover, without any meaningful insight. They are a joke in the states even. NBC at least takes it seriously.

Been that way for years with them lot. All of them. Should watch the show they did after we beat Man City in the CL. It was like a wake. Not an exaggeration. Their loathing for Spurs, be it Nicol, Haslop, Burley, and more does border on completely unprofessional and moronic. I really don’t get it.

Maddison came across really well on his intro video. He’s excited for sure. Did you notice the part during the medical when the doctor says ‘You’re going to hate me by the end of this’ and JM makes his hand into a pretend phone and says ‘Harry, I thought you said he was nice’ or some such. He must be referring to Harry Kane, eh?

Kind of sums this country up at the mo. Integrity seemed to take a walk off the plank a few years ago and we've been left with crowds of rent-a-quote gobshites shouting constantly changing and conflicting bollocks...

To be fair, it’s not his only recent fuck up…



The fact he’s so cocksure of his opinion is the worst. He’s a true ****.

When Conte took over he was saying we were a serious threat to the title.
The guy gets everything wrong 🤣

He's rather new to TalkSport, but one of the more profiled football youtubers.
Many fans who are making good money these days coming through YT.
