    If the result and performance don''t push the fan base over the edge then Conte's post game comments certainly will.

    Been a while since I posted on her. Could drag up posts from last year, 5 years ago and even 10 and there would be no change in what I would say. I could go back to losing to Cardiff City in the 70s and Port Vale in the 80s and know what was going to happen last night. I love Tottenham, have...

    How can Antonio Conte bring Spurs some stability and success?

    I understand your point, but PL managers don't get time. If there is no sign of progress and someone like Poch is available Levy will pull the trigger. Conte is a top level coach and should be able to have an impact between now and the end of the season. His tactics at Burnley, Mboro and...

    How can Antonio Conte bring Spurs some stability and success?

    Could make a case that if he fails to get this team going in the next two months with time on the training ground to prepare for games then perhaps questions should be asked of him.

    Conte pinpoints the biggest problem Spurs need to fix and how he can do it

    True. The club needed to do a deep dive that summer and ignore the run to the CL Final. There were major cracks in that team and in Poch's coaching too. More should have been asked of him rather than basking in the emotion of that night in Amsterdam. Mourinho and Conte were and are attempts to...

    Conte pinpoints the biggest problem Spurs need to fix and how he can do it

    The playing side of the club needs an overhaul. The culture and philosophy needs to change. Poch was a young manager who had won nothing as a manger and the club signed younger players who were able to develop with him. That philosophy worked well until the Champions League defeat. The club and...

    Match Threads Middlesbrough Vs Spurs

    I have said this for 10+ years on here and will continue to say it again. You cannot becoming a winning club with winning players when you don't win trophies. The mentality that saw us lose today is the same mentality that existed when we dismissed previous League Cup and FA Cup ties and more...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Wolves

    There is a big pyramid under the top three. There is something wrong with our scouting process. If not a technical or tactical issue then certainly a psychological one. Do we look into the mental background of these players? Mentality to win, to deal with pressure, to deal with expectations...

    The scouting of players will be key to the summer. It is not about throwing money at the team. Conor Coady and the likes of Jared Bowen would enhance this team, but their CVs would see some fans turn their noses down at them. I posted previously that the scouting department needs to turn over...

    Steve Hitchen quits Spurs recruitment role amid Everton interest

    So let's go and sign Tariq Lamptey. 50m in transfer fee, 25m plus bonuses in wages over a five year contract, 5-10m signing on fee depending on status of his contract and bonuses expected at BHA, image rights and a tax bonus for living in London compared to the southeast. That puts the deal at...

    Tottenham are no better off for Fabio Paratici's arrival

    I don't get as frustrated with the business side of the decision making especially as we are not an oligarch club. Every million counts for a financially well run club like Tottenham, so why under value or over pay for a player when it can have consequences further down the road. The issue I...

    Tottenham are no better off for Fabio Paratici's arrival

    We went after three players. They chose to sign for Juventus, Barcelona and Liverpool. That would be three Champions League Winners and recent winners and perennial title contenders in their respective countries. Perspective is key. I will be more upset if we target a player and he chooses...

    As I said earlier, if people want to know what life is like as a Spurs fan show them this game. Unreal! A bit of Ajax about this one. COYS! I meant to highlight that too. That speaks to the mentality in the team. Looking for the win rather than being happy with the draw. Would not have...

    They had about four deflected or mis-controlled touches in the build up to the goal including the first lay off that took Emerson out of the game.

    Can only remember the Aston Villa goal which deflected off the wall and maybe one other.

    Antonio Conte gives brutally honest assessment of ‘middle club’ Tottenham and insists Spurs’ level has ‘dropped a lot’ in recent years

    The squad needs to be strengthened. Everyone understands that to be the case. However, coach and set up the players currently at the club and send them out with a game plan. The last three games have been poor from Conte. Playing a right footed player at left back slows us down. Playing two...

    What happened in final training session before NLD, Nuno was furious

    I am still convinced that one of the rumours shared with me, that certain players play in games because of the appearance and bonus structure in their contracts, is true.

    Manager who ‘out-possessed’ Guardiola should be at Arsenal or Spurs

    From what I have heard Potter sees himself down the other end of the Seven Sister Road. The hiring of our last two managers has mirrored how we have signed players in that time. We are reactive and not progressive in our outlook. I would like to know if have KPIs for each position and our staff...

    Dismal defeat to Palace was about more than just injury and quarantine misfortune

    There are Spurs fans of a certain age who probably had Palace down as a home banker. Early game, away from home, London rival, Viera's Arsenal connections, they hadn't won, we hadn't lost nor conceded. All added up to a Spurs loss. Been there too many times. I can deal with this game as a one...
