    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    I got up an hour earlier. Performance matched the kit - it was all a bit eartha kitt. Cherry on the cake at the end was Hojbjerg's slide-rule pass to his invisible friend. I almost applauded.

    Archie Gray

    He's Eddie Gray's great-nephew and Frank Gray's grandson. I remember that Leeds team and Eddie, in particular, running rings round us at the Lane in the 70s. This kid is really special - it's worth checking out the videos. Has all the potential to become a top-class DCM. I don't like to hype...

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    Really need the senior players to set the example re urgency and desire. Didn't see that today.

    3-0 loss and having to cheer on the hammers twice really caps off a horrible week.

    Bad day at the office. We should have called in sick like Arsenal did a couple of seasons back.

    That Fulham play for the goal looked like so many that we have scored this season.

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    Absolutely. it was clear it was a good-faith exchange re honest confusion. I was baffled that the term somehow slipped under the radar for some in the UK, but that may be because I'm a dual UK/US citizen that's been living in the US for decades. I just assumed folks would know the meaning of...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    I completely agree with you. He was very effective on the left. It seemed he was far more situationally aware of when to cut inside at pace. Think it's a combination of his growing confidence and of stuff that's been worked on in training re movement of our other players to create those openings...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    Thought he had an excellent game, and he showed he can play on the left in the inverted role. Think it's a confidence thing. He was driving inside at pace whenever he saw the opportunity yesterday and spaces opened up for him to lay the ball off for others in dangerous positions. Got the goal too.

    Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

    I think Unai's done really well with getting the best out of that squad, but they weren't going to sustain that run. They were really lucky we had half our first team out in the match at the Lane, and Cash made it even worse for us during that game.

    Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

    On the "young" theme, I'd say our most consistently, high-performing outfield players this season have been Saar, Van de Ven, Udogie and Porro. Although Porro's a bit of a dinosaur at age 24, it's a great sign for our future.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Really surprised that Pep didn't sub on Doku for Alvarez at HT. City were getting nothing down their left and were not stretching the play enough to really trouble Liverpool who gained momentum. Think that may have been partly the reason that De Bruyne was pissed off when he came off.

    Doku on for Alvarez pretty soon I would think.

    Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

    Definitely has all the potential to be a high-scoring game. Doesn't always play out that way, but wouldn't surprise me if we see a few early goals.
