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. https://t.co/KKtV9UZbkD— Daniel Taylor (@DTathletic) August 19, 2021

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. ⚪️ #THFCSpurs board are now looking for a solution in order to sell Ndombele in the next 12 days.— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 20, 2021

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

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

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

As I said, centre halfs need strengthening
Ah from that angle the keepers body contact is probably counting as a check tbf
