    The Deadline Day ITK Discussion Thread - 1st September

    You are the special one with these. I don't care if this is absurdly niche, and far off target. Its a winner, no doubts.

    Harry Kane

    Get ready for the telltale "We should like to thank Harry...." Donna, Daniel and all the other complicit folk that have chosen this route are truly the most vain board in the premier league. I am just about accepting of this move for Harry but our chairman and board just continue to embarrass me...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The hold you up by the ankles and shake edition

    Spurs finally going for an early, in and out transfer strategy is really refreshing. I love to see it. Big time lurker here. Donation incoming 👌

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 23rd December 2022

    These are all good noises. Thanks for the update. I am guessing Zaniolo has gone cold due to the Italian complexity, but if that allows us to opportunistically reinforce at CB, I think that could season defining. Get it done COYS

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    It's the conclusion any casual observer could come to. There is nothing to suggest it is a certainty. Spurs are one thing to those in charge and quite another to us supporters. It was always this way under modern ownership and always will be, until those ends coincidentally align.

    Yep, all of them in and then bye-bye manager. Quintessential spurs? In all seriousness, we are being linked to some fantastic names in positions we lack quality. Keep the good, if unlikely, news flowing!

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    The devil's advocate position is a tough one, but there appears to be a willing taker. The issues are systemic, its clear enough. Progress as a brand, does not translate as progress to all.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Imagine the working conditions in this mad club. The players are not immune to the impacts of this politicking. It is all entirely self-defeating; the club lose one way or another because of a lack of strategic thinking.

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Arsenal

    Been clueless on the bench all season, watching this formation getting beasted. Where is the top quality coaching then? I am a bigg Conte backer, but seriously, most people on SC called this midfield mauling. What the fuck is the plan?

    Team v Crystal Palace

    I know its all very FM save, but I wondered about giving Spence a go at RWB with a midfield 3 to help cover - after all, this team is supposed to function by providing creation in the wing back/wide areas. Having Bentancur and Bissouma out does compromise this, but it isn't inconceivable as an...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    This is very illuminating. I had never thought of the Aulus connection before, but it does seem like an obvious comparison now you say it. All the more ironic considering their disputes going back to Lloris. For me it feels like he's a dedicated custodian who feels his work is still not quite...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Cristian Romero

    This shouldn't annoy me, but after being one of those dopes who bought a Romero 4 shirt in the summer, only to find out he LOVES 17...Now he's wearing 13 for his country. Pffff, that numberwang I guess

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Leeds

    Surely this starting 11 will best answer this mystery around whether it is a tactical choice to begin so slowly. Deki is about to have a long period without competitive football so surely he should start and we should aim to begin well and sate the supporters at the stadium. I think everyone...

    Tickets Taking kid to Spurs

    I took my boy to his first game against Everton a couple of weeks back. I had to get him his own physical pass card as he doesn't have a phone. You can only have your own ticket in your wallet on your phone. It was actually pretty easy, just fill in a form online and upload a picture. They...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Newcastle

    Totally agree. But this system is so suffocating for our players. It's all so fragile that they cannot convert their desire to win into actual results. Noone appears to be playing to their strengths at all
