    Quite a few sloppy passes at the start but he doesn't let that stop him trying stuff, good to see that lack of fear in him.

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Same as the CL - one big "league" where every team plays 8 games. Top 8 get a bye, next 16 play-off to see who plays them, regular knockout format from then.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

    Out of everyone I think you could forgive Son for just plain being a bit knackered at this point. Games for us + The Asian Cup all the way to the final + flying back for even more Internationals is a lot of not just matches but also air miles to have put on this season. If Richy wasn't injured I...

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Nah they were all over us everywhere for long periods of the match, only really dropping off later in the halves to conserve energy. Set out to chase down & harass from the first minute and it worked a treat, we totally failed to find any rhythm or patterns of play. Even when they did sit back...

    Yeah, was doing his Scotty Parker impression again today too.

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Absolutely no press resistance offered by any of the players who are supposed to be good at it and once the team got rattled they all folded like wet cardboard. Really poor showing in leadership on and off the pitch today, feel like Ange gave up on them after that 3rd goal and the subs weren't...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

    Yeah that's what I think more likely, especially given how physical his game is overall. There was a point mid-season when he had run the furthest of any player in the PL and he's only had a few days out at most since.

    Dier or Dawson?

    Peak to peak (ooer) Dier is easily the more complete player, but his peak was much shorter than Daws' which makes it a lot closer in terms of career. I think Dier still takes it, but it's weird comparing the two when in my head Dier is still that kid playing makeshift rb with a bottle brush...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Could we find someone more productive in the role? Probably, and we should be looking for that person too, but they'll need time to acclimatise to the team and the league. For me the LW spot next season should be Timo + A N Other.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

    So much sloppy play from the team and Forest absolutely love to leave a bit on but they managed to get through it and get the points. What a hit by Micky and the header bounce pass for Porro's was a real bit of ingenuity from Bentancur.

    Scarlett hits brace to round off prolific international break

    Found some highlights on YT, he doesn't come on until the second half. His first is a nice finish beating the keeper with power at the near post and his second is a well worked tap-in. Looks like he's starting to fill his frame out a bit more which should help.

    Spurs face legal action over Solomon fee 'disrespect' - Shakhtar

    They didn't have a choice, his contract was voided due to the war.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I really don't think so, he seemingly isn't even sure about going as far as Napoli let alone Munich! Personally I think, with Allegri looking unlikely to renew and not exactly setting the world alight, he's waiting for the call from Juve in the summer.

    Funny that's come up today given there's a statement from him on the official club Instagram: I don't think we're going to be seeing him on the pitch again this season.

    Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

    With their injury list and McGinn out for 3 that's a lot of hard games. I didn't think Man United could catch them before, but seeing that I think they're actually at risk of dropping out of the (possible) 5 CL spots. If that happens they're going to be in a financially sticky situation.

    Thank fuck Alphonso Davies is off to Real Madrid or they'd be coming knocking sooner rather than later.

    Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

    Whilst I was nervous at 2 up I don't think the team was at all, we had that extra gear ready to go which we showed to get those first two goals and kicked it on again when the subs came on. getting 4 at Villa Park is a great result, now to make that game in hand count and get back into 4th!

    Great high pressing to win the ball back and then had the dribbling & cool head to put it on a plate for Timo, exactly what you want to see from a sub and it turned the game around

    So gutted for him, really hope this surgery can fix the problem for good and he can concentrate on football again whether that's still at Spurs or elsewhere.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    I'd say I feel a bit sorry for him but he should have never taken the job in the first place, even if he was desperate to move back to England. Not just because of the rivalry but because he's a project manager at a club whose fanbase (and spending) demands immediate results regardless of what...
