I look at their team and don't see a single player who would get in City's, Chelsea's or Arsenal's 11.
They've turned into a bit of a boring 'nothing' team, just drifting. They used to always have a couple of players I'd love to have and they used to be entertaining to watch but not now. Don't expect them to finish any higher than 7th. Wouldn't surprise me if they finished 10th or thereabouts
Why didn't Spurs pay the money for Berahino? They need him, he wanted to go and let's be honest, WBA would have sold for the right price
Spurs are short upfront and for the sake of a few bob have left themselves open to criticism and also the likelyhood of other teams competing for him next time around - this is the exact reason City coughed up for Sterling, we needed him and if you need, you pay
I can't warm to them, never have, never will. The Spurs lads that come on here are sound, and I've always got on with the ones I've worked with when I've been in London. I can't get over that cup final though, it broke my fucking heart. I suppose it will ease in time, now we are winning stuff, but their fans on their forums come across as proper whoppers, with a sense of entitlement that defies their actual status.
Strange seeing them line up the other day with a central midfield of Bentaleb, Dier and Mason.
No creativity there at all.
Same mate, never will forget that 81 final and replay, even then it was typical City, i was 12 at the time so was the first final i could remember.
They always sing about as if we are somehow beneath them, they havent won the league since the 50's for fucks sake.

I still feel the same when Coventry done it to us in 87. I've seen us lose in quite a few finals since then but when you're young it's more gutting. Now I'm a bit older it doesn't get to me as it used to, and losing on a weekend don't ruin my weekend anymore, I can just say typical Spurs and get on with things! That said I will still swear for 90 minutes straight, get angry at the TV but it calms down after an hour or so!
I was going to post pretty much that, as a City fan. Wouldn't shock me if Alderweireld proved to be equal to Mertesacker and Cahill either.Eriksen on his day is a very good player and maybe could get into one team, but he's very inconsistent, the potential is there. Kane played superb last season and I think he's playing well right now apart from not scoring, maybe he could make a case along with Lloris too. The rest probably would not. I say that before I've seen Son play
You should be doing better as a club thats for certain, when was the last time Spurs really challenged for the title?
We were up there with Redknapp until an epic crumble/bottle job and around 87 we looked like we could but that ended badly too.
I don't really think we had any potential in the 90's with United around just like most of the league. We are closer now than we were back then but even still it's not going to happen

A decent Lamela replacement and a back up striker would have put Spurs ahead of Liverpool and United imo.

What have the following teams got in common? Liverpool, Manchester United, Ipswich Town, Watford, Southampton, Nottingham Forest, Queens Park Rangers, Everton, West Ham, Arsenal, Norwich City, Aston Villa, Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United and Chelsea.
Answer, since the top flight changed from 2 points for a win to 3 points for a win, back in the 1981/82 season, these are the only clubs to finish 12 points or less behind the eventual champions. You'll notice that Tottenham are noticeable by their absence! A fact that surprised me, that's for sure. Not entirely certain, therefore, why people regularly seem to consider Spurs one of the top sides in the division, they have demonstrably been a huge distance away from being title challengers for over 3 decades.
I'm not normally so praising of him (if that's considered praising) lol.
I thought the whole team played well against Everton, he struggled a bit against Stoke with arnautovic (sp) but didn't really get much backup, United he wasn't bad bar an own goal, Leicester he was bang average. Either way I've never been a huge fan, I really want to see what Trippier can do in a Spurs shirt.
I haven't even see any of Carlton yet, I don't really know much about the chap apart from someone telling me he's more of a second striker and would be useless by himself. Have you seen him play at all?! I think MP will probably use him in the Europa/League cup unless he surprises everyone.

When your new stadium is ready you need Levi to show his bollocks and spend big, it can be done-Arsenal are established top four without spending huge amounts.

Adebayor not in the PL squad. Interesting. I like it but he may wll have recourse to the ruling (forgotten the name of it) that may allow him to leave Spurs and claim compensation as he is not being considered.
@ Manc In London
The bloke is a waste of space mate but we were warned. I'm sure if a new gaffer came in tomorrow he'd be brilliant again. He just chooses who he has the hump with. It's a shame as I think he's brilliant on his day. No doubt he'll blame one of his family for all his bad decision making
He always starts off brilliantly, but then falls out with people and tails off badly. Shame really, as he has great talent but seems to be a bit unstable to say the least.
Still gave me one of my favourite moments as a City fan though, with that goal and celebration against Arsenal.
