Spurs thread 2020/21

I just about remember Paul Temple. Francis Matthews was the title character.

I was more into Journey into Space, and The Navy Lark. "Left hand down a bit, Number one!"

Hang on. this IS the Tottenham thread, isn't it? It's getting more like Gerry and the Atrics.
Speaking of Gareth Bale, he's apparently had his medical, per SSN

As far as Levy is concerned, it certainly wouldn’t have been a question of being “shamed” into the decision. It was simply the case that the decision had become financially counterproductive. I suspect that he had thought that every club would furlough those staff who no longer had a job to do during lockdown and was surprised by the outrage that his decision generated.

ashamed
/əˈʃeɪmd/

adjective
embarrassed or guilty because of one's actions, characteristics, or associations.

What you've just described, in your own words, is quite literally the definition of being ashamed...

With respect, mate, that's not correct.

Shame is a matter of conscience. Levy doesn't have a guilty conscience or feel embarrassed about the decision to furlough staff. The U-turn was a solely a business decision.

WIth respect, mate, that's not correct.

I quoted your own words which state "was surprised by the outrage that his decision generated" implying that in the absence of said reaction he would have carried on doing what he was doing.

Just looking at Spurs squad now with the new additions coming in...

Hugo Lloris
Joe Hart
Paulo Gazzaniga

Matt Doherty
Sergio Reguilon
Ben Davies
Toby Alderweireld
Davinson Sanchez
Eric Dier
Japhet Tanganga
Serge Aurier
Juan Foyth

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
Harry Winks
Dele Alli
Giovani Lo Celso
Tanguy N'Dombele
Moussa Sissoko
Gedson Fernandes
Dele Alli
Eric Lamela

Ryan Sessegnon
Lucas Moura
Steven Bergwijn
Son Heung Min
Gareth Bale

Harry Kane

You look at that squad and that is a VERY talented group of players. If you could get certain players motivated, they will be a handful for anybody in the league. Look at their first starting 11 and subs...

Lloris

Doherty
Reguilon
Sanchez
Alderweireld

Winks
N'Dombele
Lo Celso

Son Heung Min
Gareth Bale
Harry Kane

Subs: Hart, Davies, Dier, Alli, Sissoko, Alli, Lucas Moura

Can't even fit Bergwijn and Hojbjerg on the bench!

If you can get Lo Celso on top form and N'Dombele motivated, they will be some side. That attack on paper is fantastic and the two full backs are a HUGE improvement on what they had. You could mix it up and bench Winks for someone a bit more physical like Sissoko or Hojbjerg and also try and motivate Dele Alli and bring him in for Lo Celso if needed.

They have quite a few options now. The two negatives about Spurs, Alderweireld is ageing and they probably need more cover at CB and Jose Mourinho is their manager. If Poch was in charge of this team, it would start going places.

The top 6-8 teams in the league are going to be very, very tough games for City. Spurs improving, Chelsea improving, Man Utd improving, Liverpool improving, Arsenal improving and Wolves will be as tough as usual. Some real tough games ahead for us, for sure.

Who do you support again?

So the government/bank of England, gave them a £175 million pound loan, what a well run club.

I wonder what the interest is on this loan, I'm hoping it's about 33% so the Bank of England charge the fuckers around £60m.

Try 2 above base rate.

Heard a whisper that Gazza has been training again......

started watching premier league years on sky yesterday - season was 94-95. Big feature at the start of Klinsmann joining spurs and a montage witth music of his goals - rightly so as he was a major name. Was looking forward to the 5-2 game, as that was one of the games of that season (still one of the best city games i've been to), in which Klinsmann played his part; however, got to October review, and that game didn't get one fucking mention - Sky sports wankers - thinking Liverpool beating someone like coventry 1-0 is more interesting. TV went off then, but i assume city's first appearance would have been the 5-0 defeat to the original red scum.
