    FA Cup 2023/24

    I've said before what I'd prefer to see with the league cup, PL clubs can only field players from their academies with a set number of first team players on the bench with a max of 2 or 3 being allowed on the pitch at one time (something along those lines)

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

    Abramovich may not have made any headline profits from his time at cheatski but I bet he made up for that with the amount of dirty money he could clean (not just his own)

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    We spent 60 odd million plus wages on a midfielder that Poch wanted who went MIA as soon as the ink was dry. We spent 50 odd million on Gio who’s rarely been fit. We rarely do that well buying players at big money it rarely seems to work for us. Why I’ve not a clue. But narrative DL won’t...

    The England Thread

    As a 90's teen I love that decade there were many great things about but it's fashion (for the most part) wasn't it's finest hour :LOL: GK shirts always resembled lairy shell suits; oddly I don't recall Spurs having many appalling GK shirts in its history, maybe Ian Walker wore the odd minger...

    Harry Kane

    When Bale first went to Madrid I remember watching a game and Marcelo, Di Maria and a couple of others wouldn’t pass the ball to him either. Strange people; perhaps it’s jealousy

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    Nah just the booing prick on the halfway line right behind the pitchside microphone!

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    As I’ve not looked at the league table, or paid attention is Everton point deduction already applied or whacked on at the end of the season?

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    I feel a lot of European clubs have properly been taking the piss with the "we're skint" act for about 16-18 months now. IMHO

    New Stadium Details And Discussions

    I may have this slightly wonky but IIRC we/Levy/whomever bought a lot of our steel upfront (I want to say the construction industry was almost on it's arse at the time and steel was a lot cheaper) so we didn't get walloped quite as badly as we may have due to the economy/brexit. Granted with...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Then they're talking out their hoops as AFAICR players cannot leave the field of play without the ref's say so. So he needed to go down and then hope the ref stops the game for physio's to come on and you're in the hands of gods as he probably thinks he faking it. I may be wrong but that's...

    I can guarantee that twat at goodison who sits right near the microphone on the halfway line (and has done since before TV sets went HD) will spend approx 85 mins going "booooooooooo!" non stop. Total toolbox, I hope he cops a saucepan to the the throat!

    I don't know much about him but I'd prefer not dealing with Mendes TBH.

    Winter Transfer Window Scouting Thread 23/24

    I said this before but where the **** is our money going if this is true! Given the match day revenue, the Kane funds were most upfront, a lot of incomings in the summer were "creative accounting" If it's all gone on paying off DL's poor manager recruitments and their staff then he should...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

    I agree fully; as I said above (aside from I think 3 of the yellows early on being for dissent and the really dumb 2nd yellow for diving) those are stupid and avoidable yet inconsistently applied, not trying to absolve him of those but if you see your opponents get away with the same thing it's...

    There's been a lot written in various player threads RE: discipline, they're dumb as a bunch of rocks to sell them they're a liability etc. So I'd thought I'd throw 5p in the jar, first there's been a huge increase in cards getting dished out this season, from the little I've seen as I refuse...
