    And this analysis of results is precisely why Donald Trump will get a second term. Fuck me sideways.

    Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs

    I will never understand managers deciding to bring in players who everyone knows are off at the end of the season vs. those that still have desire. I sure as fuck would never put anyone that has served notice on a project. It’s like they think mindsets of jumped up sportsmen are different. They...

    Hojbjerg’s a cheat code for the opposition

    I hope you’re right but I’m concerned. And let’s not go down the xG path. That’s predicated on opportunities that he has and not about how many he creates throughout his broader play and contributions to the team. A players contribution in this set up is more than just individual goals and that...

    A great player in his pomp, Son is just not a captain. And I’m questioning his continued position in the team. He’s done nothing of note, and has actually hampered us a fair amount. Not just tonight

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    This entirely. This ridiculous approach has cost more teams than us. Every analyst agrees that zonal marking is utterly useless, yet, for some reason, some coaches still insist on implementing. It’s like in war - you have visibility of an enemy that is going to attack in a certain region - what...

    Totally. But that was in relation to this single performance. If we can replicate that ad infinitum, we have a good base to grow from

    I want to see more of this version of Romero - utterly determined with a controlled level of nastiness. Nobody got through him and he created up the other end of the field. The opposition effectively cowed in his presence. If he can do this every game and cut out mindless red cards - we start...

    I actually think Kulu had a pretty effective game today. Not right at his best but shoots there. Overall, don’t disagree - but we are first season with a new coach and entirely new way of doing things. It will take time and, although frustrated at recent results, I’m still excited to see what...

    Buoyed by that second half. More like it. We are where we all hoped to be at the beginning of the season and that second half performance gives me a lot of confidence. Was hoping Maddison would not start this game, it changed when he came off. Outstanding player but is in a dip right now and...

    Why do we, or any team, do zonal marking on set pieces. I’m no tactician but I’m pretty sure that for years, analysts of the game always lament zonal marking and highlight the deficiencies of it. it makes sense, having a running start gives you forward and upward momentum…ergo, more likelihood...

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Football clubs are a business. Ergo, running a football club requires people with skills who know how to run a business in order to ensure continued financial health and operation of said business. I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you are advocating here? To ignore what makes any...

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    It's almost as if some people don't believe that football clubs are a business... Please stop moaning about us being a well run, financially sustainable organisation. Stop benchmarking against those clubs around us that have or will soon have their comeuppance for breaching spending parameters...

    Where to watch football in London?

    Have always liked the World's End in Finsbury Park. Big projector screen and good local craft beer on tap. Had the pleasure of watching the return leg against Ajax there a few years ago. Needless to say, the locals took kindly to me.
