I think we will. It seems like we've had to go through different people at Marseille to get the deal done

International breaks have a numbing effect: anything that happens before them – and whatever joy those events may have brought – is typically suffocated by the ennui of having to watch the English national team. Not just the performances, of course, but the established behaviours surrounding them. The last domestic weekend was only ten days ago, but it feels far longer: that’s what a week-and-a-half of slow news cycles, slow England performances, and snark will do.
Still, Tottenham signed off with a flourish. Manchester City were beaten and battered at White Hart Lane and those who had proclaimed Pep Guardiola a Premier League winner-in-waiting were encouraged to take a few backwards steps. It wasn’t a smash and grab affair, Spurs outplayed, outworked and outfought City. Say it quietly, so as not to antagonise the Pep loyalists, but Guardiola was also tactically bested by Mauricio Pochettino. In theory, it should have been an even game decided on the break of the ball, a refereeing decision, or a single mistake. As it was, the hosts were incontestably superior and, on another day, might have won by a wider margin.
In the light of day (or icy chill of the international vacuum),Spurs were impressive because the nature of their success was so unusual and because, essentially, they managed to slay a few of their dragons in the process. Over the last decade, two Tottenham truisms have been irritatingly constant: one, that they are always reliant on a small cluster of individual players and, two, that they suffer more than most from continental hangovers.
So the context in which that City game occurred is highly relevant: they entered the fixture without Mousa Dembele, Harry Kane, or a fully-fit Eric Dier and, perhaps more pertinently, only four days after returning from a Champions League game in Russia. If someone were to create the perfect conditions for that club to lose a football game, surely it would be those? Spurs are the side of flashy-but-flawed individual class, whose success in one area ordinarily comes at the cost of progress in another; that afternoon at White Hart Lane – and the entire week as a whole – was shockingly unfamiliar.
Pochettino does not get short-changed for praise. The Argentine is widely celebrated for the emotional change he has created in North London and for the form and fitness his players often show. He enjoys a curious psychological hold over his squad, too, and – cumulatively – those factors portray him as one of the leading man-managers of his generation. He works his players like dogs and yet, in a bucking of a contemporary trend, they still seem to adore him. It’s all praiseworthy, but none of it is really new: this is who he is and this is the quality of manager we know him to be.
But if there is a new, welcome detail, it was evidenced by that City game. Just as they had on that Tuesday night in Moscow, Tottenham were able to win on the following Sunday because of their shape. Not because a Bale, Ginola, or Sheringham-like talisman had carried the other ten players on his back or because the attacking patterns and intensity were unusually rich. No, that was Spurs as a fully-functioning football team: a complete piece of work, a precise mechanism.
After the final-whistle, there was no wild delirium at White Hart Lane. Instead, a softer satisfaction. As the supporters snaked out through the breeze-blocked concourse, the chatter hinted at a deep pride. A rival had been soundly beaten and all the usual victory noises were made, but there was also a shake-of-the-head novelty to that game, one which broadened the shoulders of those fans and put a swagger in their step. That’s quite unusual. Winning is winning and it always affords a certain smugness, but those three points felt especially significant. In the past, big clubs beaten at the Lane have generally had asterisks to grasp. Not in tenuous way, either. In past seasons, Spurs have sometimes come out on top in those kind of encounters, but have typically done so after a few moments of fleeting inspiration or having had to endure a late, perilous wobble.
This was not that. The knees didn’t buckle, there was no real onslaught from a powerful opponent and, curiously, Tottenham remained in charge for almost the entire 90 minutes. What that crowd had seen – and were reacting to – was probably the reaching of a waypoint. Pochettino’s team are always intense and generally play with tangible emotion, but rarely in such concentration. Even in the highly successful 2015/16 season, Spurs had a distinct “on” and “off” setting: they would win games with short bursts of power, but still had periods of vulnerability – especially so when key personnel were injured, suspended or off-form.
This was different, though. This was a group of players who had such conviction in their structure that their absentees were irrelevant. For traditional powerhouses, the Chelseas and Manchester Uniteds, that’s the norm. For Spurs, though, it very much isn’t. It was like watching an Alex Ferguson team in one of those big Old Trafford showdowns that he always, always seemed to win. Not in style, of course, but in its general feel. He could be without Paul Scholes, Roy Keane or Ryan Giggs and yet, somehow, the strength of his squad would be enough and he could always rely on Park-Ji Sung scoring a goal or Darren Fletcher playing like Michel Platini. They were always more than the sum of their parts and that’s the level all aspirant teams have to achieve.
Tottenham are not there yet, but this was evidence of them moving in that direction. It all felt highly unusual, but it was complete to the point of being intoxicating. That feeling – the odd sense of comfort and satisfaction – is how it feels to be an excellent football team

Speaking to reporters following his side's 1-1 draw with Leicester City, Tottenham star Eric Dier shared his frustration at their inability to convert draws into wins over recent weeks, as quoted by ITV Sport.
Mauricio Pochettino's men have drawn four and lost one of their previous five outings in all competitions, and three successive Premier League draws has seen them fall three points behind league leaders Manchester City.
Dier spoke to the press in the wake of Spurs draw with the Foxes yesterday, and explained how his side cannot afford to keep dropping points in games that they are dominating, as quoted by ITV Sport:
"It's very frustrating. We controlled the game from start to finish and we know what Leicester are going to do. We know their style, so we're very disappointed because we didn't create more chances and obviously didn't score enough goals. We'll keep playing, keep improving the way we play, try to get better and try to start winning games because we're drawing too many."
Tottenham face a huge Champions League fixture in midweek when they host Bayer Leverkusen in a game they cannot afford to lose.
Then they make the short trip to the Emirates to take on fierce rivals Arsenal on Sunday, in a game that could have a huge bearing on the outcome of the Premier League title race.
With Spurs' current struggles in front of goal, they will be hoping that star striker Harry Kane will return to the squad as soon as possible, before they fall too far behind the leaders.

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli admits there was frustration after their 1-1 draw with Leicester City.
Spurs failed to win for the fifth successive game in all competitions.
Alli said: “We haven't been as sharp as we want to be around the box and in the final third.
“As players we want to be winning. Drawing isn't enough with the team that we have got. We want to be winning every game."

We will need the fight, the flair and the passion that we showed against Chelsea away last season and City at home this season in the forthcoming games against Arsenal, Pikeys and Chavs. If we have that the goals and wins will come.

Club introduces Asset Match as a shareholder service
Posted on 10 November 2016 - 12:00
We are pleased to inform our shareholders that they can now gain improved liquidity in their Club shares via the Asset Match platform.
This could be you !!
Asset Match provides periodic online auctions in shares in private companies. Investors with small shareholdings sometimes find the cost of share transactions prohibitive, we believe Asset Match makes these transactions more viable for our shareholders.
Tottenham Hotspur Operations and Finance Director Matthew Collecott said: “When we came off the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) almost five years ago we put in place a Matched Bargain facility for shareholders. However in reviewing their offering over their initial auctions we believe that the Asset Match share dealing facility is a better transaction platform and is authorised and regulated by the FCA. Since March, Asset Match has conducted six auctions in our shares and has provided a transparent and effective service for shareholders."
Stuart Lucas Co-CEO of Asset Match said: “We welcome this development and are proud to formally welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Asset Match. Having had a number of successful auctions in Tottenham shares since the spring of this year, Asset Match has satisfied the Club as to the transparency, our platform processes, and that we are FCA Authorised. Our facility will be available to benefit the many thousands of THFC shareholders that hold shares and those that would like to.”
All relevant company information and complete auction participation instructions are available via www.assetmatch.com or you can contact Asset Match direct at spurs@assetmatch.com

What the fuck is going on this year with our injuries........?? I read that Christian Eriksen now has a 'knock' whatever that means. He can now be added to Dele Alli who has a 'Knee', Erik Lamela who has a 'Hip', Mousa Dembele who has a 'Muscle', Toby who also has a 'Knee',and Ben Davies who has an 'Ankle'.
Are we putting up a bit of a smokescreen before the Spammers come to visit, or are these chaps trying to avoid a Poch training session or two I wonder. We've been blessed in the past two seasons with barely any injuries, but this seems to be hitting us much harder this season? bad luck or what, I don't know, but it's a possible explanation for our stuttering form in terms of Poch not getting his preferred starting XI out on a regular basis and also a plus that all things considered, we're still unbeaten.
I'm looking forward to the day, sometime soon, when everyone is fit and raring to go. Just before Chelsea would be nice. There's a couple of others not on that list who are also one yellow off a suspension - Jan Vertonghen and Danny Rose. If we lose those two as well with a booking this weekend, the chavs will be chuckling. Fingers crossed everything turns out OK

Oh FFS......!! Let's play guess the body part? I'm going for 'hamstring'...we haven't got one of those....yet. There are three more healthy candidates that might play against Spain tonight, hope they are rested after 'starring' against Scotland.check the internationals thread,more bad news breaking....
So (whilst I doubt all of these injuries are real) the team to face West Ham could be:
Hugo
Walker, Wimmer, Vertonghen, Rose
Winks? Dier
Son, Sissoko, GKN
Kane
Have I missed anyone?
Now I've typed it, it's actually not that bad all things considered. Bit lightweight in midfield maybe. Not sure who we have left for the bench:
Vorm, CCV, Carroll, Onomah, Edwards, ????
