Maddison one is a bit of a stretch, granted, because there was no one specific incident of high controversy. But it became apparent in the first 20 minutes of that game, as Spurs ran rings round Chelsea, that they were deliberately targeting him. Fouled him time and again. Clearly provoked one...
Simply not true. Got our first penalty of the season yesterday. Should have had 5 or 6 before then - including vs Man Utd, Sheffield Utd, Luton, Villa, and West Ham. Nketiah should have been sent off in the game at Arsenal. Carlos should have seen straight red for Villa, while Cash and Mcginn...
Problem Arsenal have is a lack of depth. An injury to either or Partey or Jesus in particular will hurt them. Long season ahead; World Cup........injuries and suspensions are going to catch up with them at some point. They have also objectively had one of the easiest imaginable starts to the...
Sure, Sporting had chances. You'd expect them to. They're a decent team and they were at home. But Spurs had even more, especially in the first 20 minutes of the second half, but squandered them all. Paid the price for that.
Weren't outplayed at all. Should have been 2 or 3 ahead but squandered chances and then lost concentration at the end. It happens. I'm not concerned yet. Losing an away CL game this early in the group isn't too damaging.
We were garbage yesterday. Yes, Chelsea pressed well but still so many unforced errors. And that set the tone. Very lucky to get away from there with anything.
That said, we’ve been on the wrong end of so many bad decisions against Chelsea over the years, I’m not going to feel guilty about a...
Different types of player.
Raphina is a winger / wide forward. Richarlison is wide forward / centre forward.
Spurs already have wide forwards in Son, Kulusevski, Moura, and Gil. But, ideally, none of them should be played at centre forward. So someone who can cover and occasionally rotate for...
1. It's £50m+, not £60m+.
2. Most of the stadium debt doesn't have to paid until after 2040. Even then, it could be refinanced. If you take a mortgage on your house, it doesn't mean that you're not allowed to buy a car or go on holiday until it's paid off!
3. Yeah, I get that it's a tad boring...
He was clearly clipped, which in turn caused him to catch his own leg. The original contact was probably accidental - and there is a question over whether or not the penalty should have been given - but it certainly wasn’t a dive.
No choice but to do so, really. ENIC are majority shareholders, with 85%. But there are some 15,000 other small shareholders. They had to be informed regardless. And once they were informed, the story would have broken anyway.
So long as Covid doesn't close down stadiums again, the club is in good financial health. Debt is not an issue if it can be easily serviced. And, with the increased income from the new stadium, Spurs' debt can be easily serviced.
Something of a cliche but the January window, especially, is very tricky. It's only in the last few days that it starts to open up.
Agreed, Spurs could have gone for Guimaraes. But it seems they preferred Bentancur - who is the same age and who has greater experience in a better league and at...
That was a fair call at the time.
1. Poch was okay with the idea of signing Grealish but didn't especially want him. So no surprise that Levy wasn't prepared to go balls deep.
2. No other club was in for him at the time at that price.
3. Grealish had just had a great season in the Championship...
Nothing to do with tube strikes. Everything to do with COVID. London is rife with it. Packed tube trains, pubs and stadium concourses…….hardly surprising that many ticket holders are choosing to stay away until the current, out of control wave of infections calms down.
I think this is happening...
Only that none of the protagonists have come out of it well. City, Kane, Spurs.........we're all worse off for the whole, tedious saga. A monumental waste of everyone's time.
Glad it's all over, to be honest. Until next summer, that is.
