    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    I can easily see why Ange might want to keep him. I can also see why he might not. I'm happy to defer to him either way. The good news is that it's his decision to make.

    Harry Kane

    If you know how german football works, you'll know it's the other way around - it's a bit plodding because they don't charge way too much for tickets. The German model is vastly superior for fans and footy culture to any other significant League in Europe. 85 quid to watch the likes of...

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

    Merson, though. Fair play to him - he's looked at it from a perspective that, if we're honest, many of us feared. Would the space that we leave behind be exploited by a more capable side than what we've played thus far? It's a fair question, and he decided to lump on ... publicly. He's a...

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

    ... as others will find us as we climb the table. Footy fans ... they're (we're) not terribly enigmatic.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    If by 'season' you mean a block of three months, I agree.

    Gretar Steinsson

    Or that - even if right - she's an annoying, sanctimonious bint.

    I love Darren Moore, but his primary strengths appear to be in squad-building (which is an entirely different exercise in the 3rd tier from toward the top of the prem) and in man-management. His teams are reasonably well-balanced, work hard, and play for each other. His tactics can be rather...

    The Race for 4th

    F*ck's sake, man. We're shit. We don't deserve 4th and we weren't going to get it, Conte or otherwise. If he'd stayed, we'd still be out of it by now and folks would be saying, 'kept with Conte when it was obvious the job wasn't getting done - horrendous leadership by Levy once again.'...

    You kids ... always bangin' on about Kane and Son ... all I can say us you shoulda seen owd Minter and Middlemiss.

    Maybe I, too, am simple-minded, but wouldn't the rationale of that last sentence suggest the best candidate to be Mauricio Pochettino?

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Richarlison speaks his mind (tamely by comparison) in a pique of frustration without considering the consequences for the rest of the club and Conte calls him selfish. :whistle:

    The sliding doors moment

    When Hull City exercised their puchase option on Ant Gardner's loan, I knew it was all over. Frankly, I knew when I found out we'd allowed a purchase option.

    Latest David Squires cartoon.

    Anyone else notice that Danny Murphy looks like he was drawn by David Squires these days? No? Just me? Carry on.

    Funny things your kids have said to you about Spurs

    Not a child, but my octogenarian mother. And it must be noted that she is the sweetest, kindest, most gentle person one could ever meet ... ... anyway, I'm at her house a few years back and I've put Spurs v Chelsea on her telly. She knows nothing of footy, mind, save her son's reactions to...

    Best CL Moment Behind Moura in Amsterdam?

    It's not the correct answer, but I'm gonna toss it in the mix: the whistle at full time v AC Milan at the Lane. The greatest nil-nil ever. Sandro and Wilson ... Harry (Harry!) setting us up hold a single-goal lead for 90 minutes ... and doing it! There was a satisfaction in that moment quite...

    Yup. That's why preventing them is so important. (y) Sanchez for me.

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 22/23

    Actually, he's reviled in Trinidad y Tobago to this day. I like this thread, and it's nice when you get reasonable, yet different, perspectives on things (read: Spurs). But 90% of it is just fans being fans. More often than not, ridiculously tribal and generally dopey. It'd be silly to...

    To be fair, it wasn't just them that didn't see it coming. A lot of us are still having to adjust.
