    Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?

    Everton are royally screwed. There is no prospect of 777 Partners passing the fit and proper test unless and until these allegations are disproved. Insolvency awaits and probably quite soon.

    Santiago Giménez

    Ricky is very good defensively when we don’t have the ball. Yes, it’s not the most important asset for a forward but it matters.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I could understand a coach saying that were committed to a particular style of play such as sticking to a high press rather than switching to a low block. But it surely is not against anybody’s “philosophy “ to stop giving stupid goals away by not defending set pieces better?

    Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

    I’ve loved watching him play and create so many great moments for us that have got us all off our seats and won us games. He works his socks off on the pitch. He’s led and inspired other players. And he’s probably the nicest, politest person ever to play for the club. BUT He doesn’t really fit...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    When he played against us at our ground he was good going forward but poor in defence.

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

    The land and buildings could only be the ground and the training centre and of these the ground is likely to have much the greater value. But the freehold of the ground is held by the Chelsea Pitch Owners Co and it seems unlikely that the club could sell its interest in the buildings without...

    Harry Kane

    This seems to have attract much negative comment. Let me elaborate and justify. Gareth Bale was an outstanding player - one of the 10 best Spurs players I have seen (but not the best Welsh winger, that was the great Cliff Jones). I was also lucky enough to meet Gareth a few times - my employer...

    Unfortunately.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

    Haven’t he and his partner just had their first baby? The poor man is probably desperately short of sleep. He’s a very talented player who’ll find his form soon.

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

    It was one of the first games I took my son to and I remember him saying “Wow! Dad”. It’s a shared memory we still talk about.

    Harry Kane

    So after winning the Bundesliga for 11 straight seasons, Bayern fail to win it in Kane’s first season. I wonder if there’s a German word for taking a small pleasure in the misfortunes of others.

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    The business objective in opening the hotel will be to attract more business conferences. The stadium has the capacity to host events of all sizes but is being held back by its distance from central London. Why hold a conference at the stadium when all the attendees have to trek from and back...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    I’m a season ticket holder in my 70s and so affected by the change. People my age have been the fortunate generation. We benefited from: free university education (with a grant to cover living costs), easy access to the housing ladder, final salary pension schemes, and much more. Not all of...

    Next DoF

    The data analysis is used to identify and screen players who are then watched by scouts. The aim is two fold: to consider a wider pool of potential new signings than could be done if the initial screening was done by scouts; and to then have scouts spend more time watching those players...

    Four Tottenham players still face two-match suspension risk ahead of key Premier League date

    I’d not be surprised to learn that there’s a similar article about every Premier League club: shame there was nothing much to say about Spurs.
