    Watching CL Final in Bristol

    Call to arms for Spurs fans watching the final in Bristol. There’s a mixed group of friends and work colleagues trying to build up a good crowd of Spurs and Liverpool fans for this one. Early indications point to gathering at the Navy Volunteer on King Street, and any Bristol based fans are...

    Women’s Football

    Sorry if there’s already a thread. I couldn’t see one. I’d like to see an increase in support of female football. Gender has nothing to do with the entertainment value, and like Tennis I’d imagine it would eventually evolve into a very clear (but not absolute) divide between strength and...

    Spurs-Related Pie Themes

    @spursfan77 just posted a catering survey report in the new stadium thread, and one of the points being discussed was a potential fan competition to come up with pie fillings and names related to Spurs. So ladies and gentlemen...welcome to the Pun-Derdome. Sheringham and Cheese Mabbutternut...

    Any Admin from COYS on here?

    Hi. Quick question. Can you please stop sending me your typically misplaced condescending messages telling me I have been 'chop chopped' from your forum. I got banned about 6 years ago for some inoffensive comment (actually made on SC, laughably), which was fine. I'd already stopped posting on...

    "They Haven't Won Anything Yet"

    Obviously we've won a hell of a lot of games and points actually, but we've all heard similar quotes about this team and the lack of a trophy. Now I always want us to win a trophy, so nothing much has changed on that front. However, I think it would be particularly disappointing if this group...

    New penalty shootout system?

    UEFA trialing a new shootout system known as ABBA, even though currently the winner takes it all already. To be fair, it sounds reasonable. It's called ABBA as it represents the order in which players from team A and B take their penalties. Not the worst idea. What do you make of it...

    Which opponents do we like?

    Move to 'general' if needs be, but I thought it would be interesting to have a Spurs Chat thread on opponents we actually like. For me: Everton. Yeah they moan like bitches at literally everything, but I feel some form of affinity with them due to our history of being top flight regulars...

    The last six games

    Just interested in reading how others on here think these games will pan out. Confidence is obviously high, but even the most optimistic among us must find the idea of winning all six games to be a bit of a stretch. Equally we've lost three games all season, so it seems unlikely that we'll...

    Three more seasons...

    ...to keep up our record of winning a trophy in every decade since the 1950s. One of our more impressive stats, and one that only United can match. Can we do it? We seem to be focussed on league position over domestic cups, and one of those three seasons will see us playing our home games on...

    Sustainability and the Pressing Game

    Simply put, Pochettino has a bit of a reputation for having young, energetic teams capable of fulfilling his pressing game. Does that mean our young players have an expiry date? To someone like me, looking at our young players developing as a team makes me feel confident about the future...

    10 Game Shoot-Out

    It's possibly a bit arbitrary, but for a while now I've been holding back from weighing up our chances of CL qualification (and more recently, the title) until we'd got down to the last ten games. For me, this has always been what is referred to as 'the run-in'. It's the countdown from 10, the...

    Wing-back Wonders

    I think it's about time that Rose, Walker, Trippier, and Davies got their own thread. For me they're closer to wing-backs than full-backs, but it doesn't really matter what we call them. Just mentioned in another thread that it was a stroke of genius by Pochettino to assemble a squad with four...

    'No Stars'

    I've heard this mentioned a few times about us. It's generally meant as a compliment, suggesting we're lacking in individual talent, but work well as a good team. Isn't this just a load of bollocks? I know that in the past we've had average players, alongside world class footballers such as...

    Spurs in One Picture

    How would you represent Spurs in just one picture? Could be emotional, symbolic, historical, metaphorical... Obviously keep in mind the SC issues with copyright material - especially images of Spurs players that are probably professionally taken. I'm going to go with this... Italian Job...

    Aston Villa

    Is it just me or is the fact that Villa are going down isn't getting the attention it deserves? They're one of the small number of clubs that have been part of the Premier League since the beginning. A few years ago they were going toe-to-toe with us in the race to qualify for the CL. They're...

    FA Cup third round draw

    Tonight from 19:00. So who do you want, and what is your FA conspiracy fixture? As per usual, I want Spurs to get an away tie with one of the Bristol teams (if they're even still in it). Otherwise a home game against League one or two opposition. Conspiracy tie...Liverpool at Anfield.

    World Class Spurs players since 1986

    1986 isn't a randomly picked year - it's the year Alex Ferguson started being the United manager. As I'm sure you're aware, he recently said that during that period he only had four 'world class' players - Cantona, Scholes, Giggs, and Fake Ronaldo. So I thought it would be interesting to see...

    Pochettino's 'get out of jail free' card?

    A supposedly simple question - has the botched ending to the transfer window given Pochettino more leeway with both the fans and Levy this season? I say 'supposedly' because the more I think about it, the less obvious and simple it seems. This is not an anti-Pochettino thread. Nor is it...
