For all the great business man talk its staggering just how wrong on almost everything Levy has been. The inception of the PL and its meteoric rise gave the biggest of clubs a massive boost financially through TV rights & sponsorship etc. Whilst other clubs set about using that money to improve their teams and chase success, we chose to take an alternative route. The sell to buy strategy that has guaranteed no success at all other than to build hope before cashing in and trying a... 22+ Years of Abject Failure ..read more

With the undying passion that we all individually hold for our beloved Tottenham Hotspur, it’s not unusual for us fans to get flustered by an opinion that doesn’t match our own. Comments 101 We hold hope that this site is a place for Spurs fans to have mature and civilised discussions. It is due to this fundamental aspect, that direct personal insults are strictly forbidden. We urge you to engage with what the person commenting has said, rather than who ..read more

Although we should be inclined to focus on what lies ahead for the club, the figure that is Gareth Bale never seems to escape our, or even solely my attention.When the club went kamikaze under Sherwood last season, I frequently glanced over to our Spanish counterparts with feelings mixed with jealousy and pride. With the mass-media coverage surrounding Spanish football and Real Madrid, escaping the ever-growing success story of Gareth Bale is proving harder to ignore. But Bale is back in... What if Gareth Bale ..read more

​ Checking back in to see what has changed at this forum. Not much. Ideally all the discussions about the quality of the squad, the quality of the manager, the quality of the chairman might be done here in this thread but not much hope of that happening The match-thread is likely to be the one and only thread posted in and in that thread I'd hope there'd be discussions about... Manager, squad, owners ..read more

Cut adrift from the top 4 again, no proper manager in place, no identity in our play, players ambling around no fight dodging responsibility, looking to be a struggle to even qualify for Europa/Conference, Kane looking ever more ready to put that transfer request in, even Arsenal are back on our tails.... It's just a complete shambles and sorry state of affairs. When we couple this with what's going/gone on away from the football being in huge debt, ESL debacle, still no naming rights for...

Manager/s to 1 side for a moment as that's 2 these players have downed tools for. 11 players 6 subs in total 17 highly paid footballers in the top European league all internationals and they think it's totally acceptable to not try in the NLD then lose a 2-0 lead to a farmer outfit. All season theyve give it the "we wanna win trophies" this has been about as credible as a toneless 12 year old saying they want to be a superstar singer. It's completely void of them because the mentality is... Sack the lot of em ..read more

Remember when it was said that Pochettino was working miracles with the team he had in 16/17? Since then Toby Alli & Dier have all gone down hill, Rose Walker Jan Dembele Wanyama CE have all left (correct me if I'm wrong) not a single player has been upgraded on from that quality balanced 1st team that finished 2nd. A lot of dross has been bought after a long period of neglect to plug gaping holes in the team. JM has acquired 9 players on a budget of £52 million, at best he's replaced... Irrational hatred and nonsensical bar setting ..read more

RED HOT REDS. In the opening fixture of this weekends premier league encounters Spurs entertain... The entertainers to Wembley. As a young Spurs fan living up north late 80s to early 90s pretty much all of my friends etc followed the fashionable and extremely successful Liverpool side and still do. Even moving into the Premier league era until the last four yrs or so we endured many disappointing results and a few real hidings which meant a lot of banter and mickey taking out on the...

It seems like there are many who would like to discuss the recruitment/transfer policy at Spurs and therefore I think it might be a good idea to have a dedicated thread about just that. Here is one attempt to start such a thread: Every club has hits and misses when it comes to recruitment,some of the difference between the top-clubs and the rest might be found in their recruitment/transfers. Most clubs appear to have a set up with the roles and responsibilities clearly defined:... Transfer talk & rumours ..read more

The manager who once was seen as a possible Spurs manager against the one who became a Spurs manager? Bad attacking against bad defending? Or will the players who seem to have the skills for great attacking make an appearance? Players showed some passion yesterday, the keeper who was once close to winning the golden gloves made it clear that lack of defensive effort was not acceptable (any longer?). Maybe more clean sheets might be the result? Or was it possibly staged for some reality tv?... Bournemouth-Spurs 9th of July 2020 ..read more
