With Sonny out, Belgium in the semis and England likely (maybe) to join them, we might have a hard time fielding a team on August 11th.

We’ll win the World Cup for England, then beat these fuckers in the first few weeks before taking on the Champions League fixtures.
Any wankers that don’t realise what a completely brave new era this is for Spurs is deluded. Have a look and then realise we are suddenly one of the best teams in Europe. When did anyone last say that??

Wilshere saying he's there to provide some competition for places at West Ham. "Andy Carroll's had that physio's bench to himself for way too long," he added.
Its a 3 year contract for about 18 games

Need to be careful as a club here, better not take fans loyalty for granted, new Stadium great but a few baubles wouldn’t go amiss and they can’t keep going back to the well. We’ve all had enough of the ‘giving’ portion for the moment thanks.

I think this off season shows the ambition of the club. We're happy being nearly good enough. Instead of a couple of quality signings we get cauliflower and broccoli pies. Sound fucking rank!
Hopefully come Thursday I'll be talking out my arse and we'll be loving life but at the minute it's incredibly disappointing.

Bring it on, we'll be better than last season, which will be no mean achievement. One club in the world had 9 players in the World Cup semi finals and ended with the World Cup winning captain and the Golden boot winner....just one.

Here's a couple of questions that are bothering me.......
1) Is football at Club level really about winning things any more? Or is just a business for wealthy owners to get wealthier. For example we've all secretly known for a while now that getting into the 'top 4' is more important than winning the League Cup. I don't even think that the European elite clubs chairmen are bothered about winning, just making money, this is obvious on so many levels from 3 different kits and more merchandise than you can shake a stick at to the high levels of corporate and premium seating and hospitality offered at Stadiums.
2) can't think what the other one was now.....but it was pissing me off as well.

The Premier League returns this weekend with a few important tweaks to the rules and regulations. We highlight a few things to look out for.
Yellow cards
In the past, any yellow card picked up in the Premier League, EFL, FA Cup or Carabao Cup would be totted up together. When a player received five yellow cards they would miss the next match, in whichever competition that may be. Reaching 10 yellow cards would see the player miss the next two games. And 15 would bring a three-game ban.
However, from this season yellow cards will only count in the competition they are received. And this has led to the following changes.
Premier League:
- One-match ban if five yellow cards received before 19 Premier League fixtures (Dec. 26 round)
- Further two-match ban if 10 yellow cards received before 32 fixtures (weekend of March 30)
- Further three-match ban if 15 yellows received (no fixture limit)
FA Cup and Carabao Cup:
- One match ban when two yellow cards have been received
- Cut off point will be the quarterfinals, so no player can miss the final through cumulative yellows
Red cards remain unchanged and a player would miss the following matches in any competition, so a dismissal in the Carabao Cup could still see a player miss a Premier League match, and vice versa
Managerial misconduct
The FA is trialling a new system where "yellow and red cards will be issued by match officials for misconduct committed in the technical area." However, in the Premier League warnings shall be "issued verbally without the use of cards."
That means we will only see managers physically be shown yellow and red cards in the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup and also in the EFL.
Coaching staff who are booked/verbally warned will get a touchline ban for cumulative offences, just as players would be with yellow cards.
- 4 warnings = 1-match ban
- 8 warnings = 2-match ban
- 12 warnings = 3-match ban
- 16 warnings = Misconduct charge (ban decided by hearing)
The Football Association outlines irresponsible behaviour as:
- Inappropriate language and / or gestures towards the match officials which are an obvious show of dissent or an attempt to influence the decisions of the match officials
- Kicking or throwing water bottles, coats or other similar objects in an obvious show of dissent
- Sarcastic clapping and / or other gestures intended to undermine the authority of the match officials
- Entering the opponents' technical area in an inappropriate manner
- Gesturing waving an imaginary yellow/red card.
Jose Mourinho is no stranger to exchanging words with match officials. AllsportHandheld devices in the technical area
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) changed the laws of the game in March to allow "the use of electronic and communication equipment in the technical area (small handheld mobile devices),strictly for tactical/coaching purposes and player safety."
That means we will see coaching staff on their iPads checking out the latest ProZone stats while a game is ongoing.
Extra time in the Carabao Cup
The has been scrapped and now any tie which is still level at the end of 90 minutes will go directly to penalties.
What about VAR?
Video assistant referees (VAR) were the talk of the World Cup, but the Premier League has decided it is not yet ready for use in its competition and called "for VAR to be used more extensively in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup" on a trial basis. It will be tested in around 60 games this season when cup ties are held at Premier League grounds.
It means the Premier League will be the only major European league not to adopt VAR, with La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue already embracing the technology. However, UEFA is also not yet ready to use VAR in the Champions League and Europa League and will continue to have extra officials behind the goal.

oh dear you just know its going to happen here too.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-la-liga-play-game-13090207
La Liga will play games in the United States or Canada for the first time as part of a groundbreaking 15-year joint venture to promote the league in North America.
And that is likely to mean a competitive Clasico fixture between the country's big two, Real Madrid and Barcelona, taking place outside of Spain for the first time.
The overseas games are a part of a joint venture between La Liga and Relevent Sports, the US-based promotion vehicle backed by Stephen Ross, billionaire owner of the NFL's Miami Dolphins.
"This extraordinary joint venture is the next giant leap in growing soccer's popularity in North America," said Relevent chairman Ross.
"This unique relationship will create new opportunities for millions of North American soccer fans to experience the most passionate, exciting, and highest level of soccer in the world."
The 50-50 joint venture is a 15-year deal between La Liga and Relevent - who have been behind the International Champions Cup (ICC) - and it has been a long-time priority of La Liga president Javier Tebas to stage league matches overseas.
The first game abroad is set take place this season, with Real Madrid and Barcelona seen as the priority teams to be sent abroad to drive ratings.

It's just a Global business now for global wealthy tycoons to get wealthier. Gone are the Jack Walker and Freddie Sheperd days, wealthy people who lost much of it supporting their clubs. I'm pleased Levy is a Spurs fan, you'd never really know it though.

Moaning Mourinho is moanng that he wasn't given enough money and that's why his team lost to Brighton today. What a moaning cunt.
In the 3 seasons he has been at United (including his first season and the current season - the transfer window that has just closed) they have a nett spend of £350m, in those same seasons we spent £49m, everyone and his dog knows I am pony at maffs but I make that United spent over 7 times what we did in that period. If you wanted to go back to the year before, which would be fair because he inherited those players, the spend for United is £404m, Tottenham's was £32m, so in four years they have spent 12 times what we have spent.
There are two conclusions I draw from these figures:

- 2 Mourinho is a whining cunt who will always blame someone else.
- 3 I said two didn't I? Why are you expecting a 3rd conclusion, are you hard of hearing?

Excellent post, he is a 100% nasty horrible little man. I know his record is phenomenal but that doesn’t make him any less of a whining cunt. Takes all of the credit and none of the blame. His arrogance is equally phenomenal. Hope he stays at United for a long time.
