Kane not in the squad today.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 15 August 2021 14:49 (three years ago) link

well, yeah

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 15:29 (three years ago) link

Fernandinho bossing things thus far

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 15:49 (three years ago) link

I fear for Tanganga here but he’s just about holding his own at the moment.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 15 August 2021 15:50 (three years ago) link

Tanganga clearly Spurs best player

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 15:52 (three years ago) link

Theres not a man in the back five id fear for any less

Skipp and hojberg decent cover

Alli looks bettwr

Also, who is the alternative?

Dier is our next best right back, like

fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 15:55 (three years ago) link

Not saying its mouras season but hes had a proper pre season and his skillset will benefit from some strikers heading away from him instead of towards him

Midfield is fucken wide open for whichever team wants to take it

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:04 (three years ago) link

I've never seen Anthony Taylor actually be in control of a match ever

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:10 (three years ago) link

Think hes been good so far!

The front three here are not doing too well at giving the ball carrier options but we are running it to good effect tbh

fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:14 (three years ago) link

Son is a great player who just needs some better service to be a consistent goal scorer

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:16 (three years ago) link

Like, Harry Kane sitting deep

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:17 (three years ago) link

I'm aware that's not some massive insight, just when Spurs buy their Kane replacement they should look for a provider and bet all the goalscoring marbles on Son, I think he's up to it

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:25 (three years ago) link

Hes a much more direct player if kane isnt central demanding it but tbf he also benefits hugely at times from kanes passing and how much kane occupies centre halves

I think a player who can hold it up and be a focal point up front would be a decent purchase because theres more in our other attackers than they have shown with kane taking up so much of the pitch space

fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:33 (three years ago) link

Decent on break again but starting to allow 2 vs 1 against tanganga which would be unfortunate

fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:38 (three years ago) link

Very decent player rly

fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:46 (three years ago) link

Yeah I had to run out the house to take a picture of a cat my mother doesn't believe exists, but clearly Son doesn't require any service whatsoever

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:59 (three years ago) link

Sanchez reverting to "I'll stand here and hope nothing bad happens" there, got away with it

Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 15 August 2021 17:12 (three years ago) link

Wonderful performance.

Kinda desperate at the end, but yeah

loves a game against City does Nuno

Tumbledown Duck (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 15 August 2021 17:24 (three years ago) link

Wow!

ceci n'est pas une messi (cajunsunday), Sunday, 15 August 2021 17:24 (three years ago) link

That was comfortable after ten mins

fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 August 2021 17:25 (three years ago) link

The tracking from midfield was super, the individual decisions on marshalling and tackling really, really good

A lovely start

Grealish P2 L2

It'll pretty disappointing if the nation's sweetheart is a flop this season.

ceci n'est pas une messi (cajunsunday), Sunday, 15 August 2021 17:38 (three years ago) link

Ftr I'm pretty pro Jack, but I reserve the right to enjoy the above statistic. Was pretty comfortable for Spurs too

ignore the blue line (or something), Sunday, 15 August 2021 17:40 (three years ago) link

great game. spurs rb doing his fouling properly ie when facing towards opponents goal not towards his own. lucas brilliant ball carrying. city transition defence pathetic. levy should add 30m to whatever he's quoting city for kane after that.

satisfying table atm - ten sides on 3 points, ten sides on 0

this is extremely grim

This is a tough read (be warned).

The court documents, obtained by @TheAthleticUK, about culture of ‘racist bullying’ at Chelsea in the 1990s.

One coach, Graham Rix, accused of throwing scalding coffee over the head of a black youth-team player.

Graham Rix who claimed there were "mitigating circumstances" when he got a prison sentence for for having underage sex with a 15-year-old girl.

served six months and was immediately rehired by Chelsea

A black work colleague once told me that one of the coaches at the Town youth set-up was a real nasty, racist piece of work + once called him an unreliable, lazy fucker in a snarling rant with spit flying everywhere after he missed an away youth fixture through no fault of his own. He was waiting at the arranged pick-up point for over an hour but the mini-bus never arrived because they'd changed the pick-up point and relayed this important message to his 6 year old sister over the phone. In the end his mum pulled him out of there over a racist incident that he didn't expand on. I imagine the Chelsea set-up was perhaps a more extreme case of that era, but not completely unusual.

Tottenham manager Nuno on Ndombele situation: “I can be completely honest with you, Tanguy is not going to be involved in the squad on Sunday”, he said to @jonathandveal83. ⚪️ #THFC

Spurs board are now looking for a solution in order to sell Ndombele in the next 12 days.

Hope that goal stands

Never enough to say it was a clear and definite game stopping foul, he flings himself down looking for it

Ref backs down

The Mings/Ings connection has produced its first spectacular scissor kick, as was foretold

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 21 August 2021 14:59 (three years ago) link

hopefully the 2nd "shit noddy teams on quest" fixture of this day will actually feature some goals and and perhaps some prem quality entertainment for the neutral!

calzino, Saturday, 21 August 2021 16:40 (three years ago) link

well i gots to say i'm genuinely excited for this one

Too early in the season for the ILX Derby

imago, Sunday, 22 August 2021 11:31 (three years ago) link

good time imo, everything still fresh and possible, still wanna see how Lage has changed things without much in the way of incoming transfers yet

Tumbledown Duck (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 22 August 2021 11:34 (three years ago) link

I sort of expect Wolves to have a start like Brighton did last season where they have a tough run and play well in a bunch of games they don't win

But...could it be Very Much a Case of After the Lord Mayor's Show for Spurs?

We'll find out in the ILX Derby. It's up next - and it's liiii-

hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 22 August 2021 11:35 (three years ago) link

the Brighton thing feels quite possible, on the other hand we really shd have got something from last week, on the other other hand we really need to strengthen the centre of defence/midfield, tragically new cult hero curvy Colombian hardman Yerson Mosquera is still out

lot of our Twitter nobs have spent the week fighting about how much they should cheer for Nuno or not ffs

Tumbledown Duck (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 22 August 2021 11:53 (three years ago) link

Kane roundly booed by Wolves fans when getting off the bus. He’s on the bench today.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 22 August 2021 12:17 (three years ago) link

Thatll dampen the "kane to wolves" story sky sports have been trying to make happen
