    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Don't think it's that surprising he's still here. Lot of the fanbase have tied themselves in knots making a binary choice between board and manager. There were a lot of sentiments of "got to back a manager for once, got to give him time" with this appointment, and a lot of people are struggling...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    The most insipid pea-heart I have ever seen in a Spurs shirt. He could get a back post tap-in a game, 50 goals in a season, and I'd still tear up his contract.

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    Game turned on Romero going off, after that we had no physicality at the back and it caused us all sorts of problems. Spence is a left back only it seems. Bissouma's Spurs career looks done for. Maddison's cameo was tragic. Odobert's probably even worse. Son, tries to be lively but most...

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    Just an anonymous half of football from us. Tel did that run and ball across goal, and that was it..... Doesn't feel like we've put consecutive passes together even. All in all, scintillating stuff.

    Match Threads ⁷Spurs vs AZ Alkmaar 2nd leg

    I don't think it's that surprising. Both teams having absolutely woeful seasons domestically, barely looking like coherent football teams, and yet in the Europa finished, what was it, 3rd and 4th in the league stage? (and we didn't really put out strong lineups along the way). This is a fairly...

    Match Threads ⁷Spurs vs AZ Alkmaar 2nd leg

    Plus points: - Better attitude and effort and signs of giving a shit tonight in that performance, right across the park. - That third goal was beautiful. - barring that fuck up for their goal... Goals for Odobert, and Bergvall's all-round performance. However I come away thinking we learn not...

    Match Threads ⁷Spurs vs AZ Alkmaar 2nd leg

    Let's be honest, what's happening is what should be happening. Vast gulf really in finances and general underlying quality between the teams and we should dominate. We are doing so, partly down to their tactics to sit and soak but also largely because we've had a good attitude and effort and...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    The system was at first found out, and has now completely collapsed. I think we have big problems in terms of individuals and what they can (or rather, cannot) do and indeed thought we'd have problems this season, the transfer policy and talent ID stuff has been nowhere near good enough, but...

    Let's be honest, we got a point from that in spite of anything we did either collectively or individually.

    Good grief. Absolute steaming dog turd of a 45 mins.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Man City

    45 mins where we seemed nervous and not really doing anything. Struggled to put passes together and give the ball to a white shirt, and been lacking energy. The problems are throughout the team. At the back they look nervous on the ball and not knowing where their next pass is. In midfield...

    Match Threads Ipswich Town v Spurs

    Second half was more comfortable, still think 4-1 was perhaps slightly flattering, and we've simply got to tighten up structurally before we come up against anyone half decent, but three wins in a row in the league and finally some momentum and some positivity back. Lovely to watch Bergvall's...

    Match Threads Ipswich Town v Spurs

    I mean, it's hardly convincing... is it? Plus points are that we're winning, at times knocking it around fairly well, and we've ruthlessly targeted them down the left flank. But they are fairly limited defensively and look prime for exposing both tactically and individually, they're not the...

    The Road to Bilbao (Europa League)

    As said, given our record in the Europa no way you can be confident. Even more so given our continued form and dodgy performances (even just in this competition, we've gone life and death against many "minnow" teams already). Having said that, conditions seem perfect to have a really deep run...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Man Utd

    Main thing is the win, two in a row in the league and hopefully can build some momentum now to salvage some sort of recovery this season. I said pre-match, it was a fork in the road because we could end the day 12th, or stay 15th and be 5 points off 12th, we took a positive turn and need to keep...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Man Utd

    If you looked at the general play/possession of the ball we've clearly been more polished and had the upper-hand. We've really not had many "chances" though barring the goal, and down the other end was where the real chances to put the ball in the back of the net happened. Pressing has been a...

    It's the cripplefight cup final today. The two banter teams of the league season. Of the two though, seems we've had the better week going into the game - we've got some players back from injury, they've lost a fair number plus had the doom and gloom of financial issues - and really we've got to...
