    The Managerial Merry-go-round

    West Ham potentially going for Lopetegui, but looks pretty certain that Moyes is toast. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/24/west-ham-talks-julen-lopetegui-replace-david-moyes-manager-premier-league

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Yeah, I get that. However, the fact the PL didn't think to say that stuff like this is clearly against the spirit of the new rules doesn't give me a lot of confidence. As I say, let's wait and see, but I suspect the big boys will continue to bend the rules and look for loopholes which will...

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Yep, it's all quite depressing really.

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Aye, but it's generally the wage bill that is the best indicator of success. I think we need to see if the PL and UEFA are really genuinely committed to rules around financial sustainability. If they are, then we are in a good place but I'm still not convinced any of this stuff will have teeth...

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    What I took from it is that we are a well run club BUT we are still "best of the rest", with City, Liverpool, Chelsea and ManU above us financially. Not quite sure where Arsenal stand and with owners not being able to continually pump money in though.

    Not sure I can watch this - does Ricky always sound like he's commentating the boxing?

    Player Watch - Japhet Tanganga

    Really pleased for the lad and particularly that he has stayed fit for a decent length of time.

    That has to be the hope. Also, if Richy could occupy the CBs more, there would be more space and time for others to run onto the crosses.

    I think he's doing what the manager wants him to do and doing it largely well. The lack of someone to get on the end of his crosses is a bigger issue for me at the moment.

    La Liga 23/24

    More than likely, it just really stood out to me as a real wtf moment.

    La Liga 23/24

    This quote, yep this is one of the most important things in the world! :cautious: Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen agreed with his coach. "It's shameful for football, I don't have the words," said the Germany international. "There's so much money in this world and there's no money...

    FA Cup 2023/24

    It's tough but my understanding was it was brought in to stop goalhanging and look at it now? The big problem for me is that you can't properly celebrate a goal, especially in the ground - you are always waiting to see, so I'd personally rather leave the decision with the lino who puts his (or...

    FA Cup 2023/24

    Yep being that toenail in front was the difference! I realise it's the law and it's a yes/no situation but for me VAR is an overall detriment to the game. At the bare minimum the off side rule needs looking at because it was never brought in to stop someone being 1/4 inch in front.

    The THFC Women's Team Thread

    I'd be interested to know the difference in the wage bill between all the sides in the league and if that reflects in league placing.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Wow, that's pretty poor from the official account. Call out dodgy decisions absolutely, but the line about the VAR being a Luton fan? Or is it a con, I'm so tired Robbie.
