Last post was from 2017. Should just stop at that... Just went to the Kenya vs Togo match, wearing my spurs shirt. Ended 1 - 1. Walking back after the match was rightly approached relentlessly by Kenyans about what a waste of space Wanyama was. If I didn’t show up looking for him, he would have...

^ this guy. lol. Have half a mind to search back through deadline days of old and make a top 10 list of your best mental breakdowns. Keep rolling out the hits! @The Cryptkeeper since when do you believe anything in the media? As exciting as Lo Celso looks, we still have Eriksen and he has...

Sevilla and the Science of Soccer’s Summer Transfer Window https://nyti.ms/2OyZtHX?smid=nytcore-ios-share A good read about scouting.

Any word on Llorente’s situation?

Dembele is overwhelmingly why. Until recently, his phenomenal ability was that he only attempted things he was fairly sure he would be successful at - be it tackles, passes, dribbled, etc. All things that when failed at by a DM/CM, left the opposition with the ball running at an uncovered...

Would like to say thanks to team spursy for keeping this place going. Today has been a long time in the making - and for it to have happened this way..... indescribable. Congrats all around.

We started with the wide open wing backs, and 3 in the back, but Ajax mainly played 1 up top leaving 3 CBs guarding one striker. This left Wanyama looking hopelessly marooned in CM and they absolutely dominated us. On the other side we only half pressed the ball as Llorente didn’t leave anyone...

I was 100% fine with the window, until you just reminded me that Sissoko is still on the books.

LETS GO BOYYYYYS!!!!

Sissoko had his best game in a while, but that still wasn't good enough to be on the pitch. Aurier is not far behind him. I wonder if Lamela was also a bit under the weather, otherwise I can't see why he wouldn't start with Eriksen out. We immediately looked better with him on the field, though...

Sherwood is a commentator in SuperSport (south african satellite network) and is flat out saying that aside from Ronaldo, Modric, Ramos and Bale, Spurs have better players - player for player - and a deeper bench, and a class above manager. Which tells me that he assumes no one is watching, and...

Trippier just took on and ran past someone for the first time in his career. And then does a second for bonus. Amazing night for that alone.

Not that he had much of a chance on any of these goals, but I don’t think I can remember a weaker looking goalkeeper than Apoel’s. I don’t think he has even attempted to save anything.

Watching Llorente get full into it in his first derby is a fantastic to see. If only we could have signed him when old Harry was here, we may now be living in an alternate reality.

And again, no fluke he was already in space!

Both goals made by space found by Eriksen due to quick thinking in transition. Watching Eriksen on defense and off the ball in transition has become the most exciting part of watching games for me. The more you pay attention to it the more you notice that he sees and moves to the the game in...

I disagree about it being enough, quality is not just individuals that score goals, it's about having the right balance and quality for the positions and tactics we deploy. Take a look at the average position map: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41210054 and heat map...

When you have 75+% possession, the bigger the pitch the better. Wembley has nothing to with it.

Have to point the finger at MP on this one, this was a tactical disaster from the start and he only made it worse. We started without a LWB - I have to assume because Davies wasn't 100%. But why put Davies and Dembele on the bench if you are not willing to use them? We have to assume they were...

This is the most astute point added on the Sanchez transfer in a while. I don't agree with it, but still worth considering. Keeping 24 year old Kevin Wimmer would almost certainly be a luxury for us, and he would be difficult to keep happy. But should Toby and/or Jan opt to leave next summer...

Not to take away from individual player chat but perhaps @admin should pin this to the top. Current 1st Team Injured: Trippier - Ankle - No return ..."Minor ligament damange, short return" GNK - Foot - Late August Rose - MCL - Early/Mid September Lamela - Hip - Mid October

For the moment, only Spurs supporters realize that Paulinho, not losing 5-1 on aggregate to Madrid, is the clearest sign Barca are falling behind their rivals.

Ahem, bump. If true and he turns out to be a half decent player (only time will tell),it's the best 35 million we could spend all summer.

Yep, two most important pieces of the summer was the Michael Cox article: http://kwese.espn.com/football/english-premier-league/23/blog/post/3160141/tottenham-are-having-the-best-summer-transfer-window-despite-making-no-new-signings And the recent MP interview. The only thing that we really...

Finally. Now everyone can stop their incessant bitching and moaning about not signing anyone.

I see Trippier as a true "Wing-back" already. His build and aggressive crossing is perfect for playing out wide ahead of the back 3. 20 years ago, Trippier would have not even been considered as full back material and instead been considered traditional winger. The question of how bad we need...

If we don't get another centre back our title chances go to nil. Can't go into a season playing 3 CBs with no cover aside from a young and still not ready CCV, especially when one of your CBs is primary cover for DM. The versatility of being able to play a 4-2-3-1 or a 3-4-2-1 is great, and...

Walker: Too many are overlooking how much the role of fullback has changed in our team over the past decade and how that has become even more so since our switch to 3 in the back. The drop in play between a first string and second string fullback now can have an immediate noticeable impact on...

I've been in Wanyamaland for a long time now, so totally out of touch with MLS and the US National Team...
