    One Hotspur + on sale time for tickets

    It’s cost me a fair few quid in flights and hotel and I can’t make the Sunday but hard to blame the club or Premier League for this to be fair.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Radu Dragusin

    Players develop differently. Van de Ven came in and ripped it up immediately. Gareth Bale took years to look like a player. Ledley King looked a natural from the start. Harry Kane looked like he’d barely make a Championship player. They’re people, not robots. He’s a very young man, in a very...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Radu Dragusin

    I’m amazed by some of the shit I’ve seen posted here. My goodness. For me, the signs are encouraging on Dragusin. He didn’t play great on Saturday but every single one of the starting eleven were miles off it so I wouldn’t draw any conclusions yet. Judging a player after effectively one and a...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Yeah I’ve dialled back my expectations and am just trying to enjoy the football under Ange. To be honest, I’m never expecting us to really challenge under him. I’m not sure he has the ability to do it at our club and I think the playing field is so heavily sloped against us. I don’t really...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Sensible post but the difficulty is that our existing squad isn’t static. Players like Romero, VdV, Sarr, Udogie and others will be on the radar of “bigger” clubs while Son will eventually start to deteriorate if he hasn’t already. Sometimes it feels like an endless game of “we just need...

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    Wenger said that in 2012. He left Arsenal in 2018 only after he stopped achieving top 4 finishes.

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    Good post and I agree. Sorry, should have said qualification for CL rather than 4th/5th given the ambiguity around it. And your point regarding Woolwich is a fair and good one.

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    I love Ange and am behind him but this statement is absolute bollocks in my view. And the problem with it is that it allows the club and the manager a subjective out if we don’t get CL football. What he’s saying is “if I think I’ve got a team to challenge next season and we finish 5th instead...

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    His predecessors have done exactly what you suggest (give youth a chance and experiment) and that’s part of the reason why we’ve never performed well in those competitions.

    Thought Udogie had an absolute shocker to be honest. Worst game I've seen him play for us. Unacceptable on the second goal too.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    To be fair to Ange, I think he's too cavalier, but not one of his players performed today. You can blame the system and tactics to an extent but when not one player puts in a shift, no tactics or system can win you the game.

    Match Ratings Ratings vs Fulham

    He wasn't particularly brilliant but was tidy and didn't make any fuck ups like a lot of lads so I voted him too. I couldn't believe it when he had the ball and looked for a pass for about 5 seconds. Go absolutely nothing in terms of movement and had to play safe. You could see he was pissed...

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    It's clearly an honest misunderstanding where, to be fair, you questioned it in a very reasonable way given how emotive it could have been. Think it's best you leave the posts as they are because I'd imagine a lot of people could interpret it the same as you initially did. I watch a bit of...

    What the pundits & media are saying about us

    To be fair, it's only one letter away from the word I use most in relation to our beloved club.

    Match Ratings Ratings vs Villa

    To be honest, I didn't even think the assist for Johnson was that good. He delayed too long for me and potentially chose the wrong option because Johnson had a Villa player up his backside when he finished and he did very well to score it. Deki might have been a better option. Either way, he...
