    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    They’re ten points behind us with six matches left. Even if we are terrible that’s ten points.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Again I would say they are at a totally different place to us. They’re five years into Arteta. Whereas we have had literally no identity or style of play since Pochettino left, except a kind of obsession that we need to win now. We’ve become obsessed with the idea of needing to win now which...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    It’s not arrogant at all. It’s a fact. We have been in the highest league in the country probably since before you were born, unless maybe you are 50? I would be pretty sure that 90% of posters on here can’t remember Tottenham not being in the PL/equivalent. None of the best teams change their...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Newcastle are a completely different proposition to us. Same as Villa. They are teams who were recently in the Championship. They are at a different stage in their journey. We have spent the last five years without any identity. The idea we should change tactics now because we are afraid of...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    I think it’s really small time to change our approach at home because we are afraid of them. If we lose so be it, but being cowardly because we’re afraid of them is much worse imo.

    Eberechi Eze

    I think he would be great but I worry about our ability to get a deal like this done.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Well if we offer him a long enough contract he might drop his salary because three years on say £150k is better than two years on £180k. And it seems like his club want him out so it’s unlikely they’re going to give him a new contract anyway. I don’t think he would be signed as back-up. He will...

    Berbatov

    Yeah I think you might be right. But he has such a cool, languid style that it looks great even if it was a fluke. It reminds me a bit of the goal he scored for us against Fulham in the FA Cup, although that definitely wasn’t a fluke.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I think I would just feel like here we go again… I wouldn’t feel particularly happy even with Alonso.

    I doubt he’ll take a big drop. Why would he? Players hardly ever do that. Not when they are in the prime age of their career anyway. Maybe if we offer him a big (as in longer) contract he will. But I really doubt he’s going to take a big pay cut to move here because he loves playing for Spurs so...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    The idea of reverting to a back three fills me with dread, almost as much as reviving the diamond.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Bissouma is an interesting one. He was great at the start of the season and seemed perfect for Ange’s system. Now I’m not sure whether it’s just a form thing or, as you say, him not being a great fit. With Hojbjerg leaving we will probably need to bring in a new CM anyway so maybe some...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    I think nearly everyone here agrees: of course he’s a good squad player but does he raise us a level? Not really. He’s a bit similar to Richarlison in that way. A really great, hard working guy to have around the squad, fits in, does his best for the team but they’re not players who drag you up...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    This sort of thing has been repeated all season. But do you honestly think you, and all the posters on here, all the pundits, all the journalists, all the podcasters etc can see something Ange can’t? So what, he spent his career coaching in Australia, Japan and Scotland. Where have we ever...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    It’s not almost certain. Villa are in the driving seat because they have the points in the bag but we are six points behind having played two matches fewer. Ok you can say we have more difficult matches but look at some of the matches where both us and Villa have dropped points this season and...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    I think for most of us our relationship with Spurs is longer than our relationships with our partners. Club support is a lifelong passion for most fans. I love my wife and I imagine we’ll be together for the rest of our lives but she was a relatively latecomer. I’ve followed Spurs since I was...

    I would go further and say there’s a good chance we do beat them.

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    I think it only makes them stronger if they build on it. One season won’t make a huge difference. How many times have we been in the Champions League and thought now we’re going to push on and haven’t? But I think regularly qualifying for Europe will make them stronger over time.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

    I think players tend to last a bit longer these days, especially if they don’t rely on explosive pace. While it’s true that pace has been an important part of Son’s game, I think now what sets him out is his finishing.

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Poch/Chelsea did the reach the final of the League Cup this season. But I don’t think just reaching a League Cup final is worth much in itself. Especially in Poch’s case when, rightly or wrongly, many people question his ability to win major trophies.
