TOTTENHAM ARE STILL A BIG CLUB!

little piece from michael cox on dembele: http://www.espn.co.uk/soccer/english-premier-league/23/blog/post/3751901/premier-league-will-lose-its-most-unique-player-when-mousa-dembele-leaves-tottenham

Tottenham have planned a "top-level meeting" to discuss how to deal with Kane's absence over the next couple of months. Loan signings are being considered, as well as the potential promotion of 16-year-old academy striker Troy Parrott.

No pressure Troy

Troy Parrott, Harry Winks, Oliver Skipp. I have to commend the Tottenham policy of only developing young players with entertaining names.

my client skipp can kick a ball very far away

Yeah, yeah, whatever, does he prefer Oliver and Olly? Either way, we've very excited about his name.

anyway

i am calm. the flower opens in its own time.

troy parrott may not be an adequate replacement this week for harry kane, but a fortnight of poch magic and it'll be lol arry oo

llorente will score a goal a game in february

vinny janssen GOAT for ten games

whatever. energia universale finds its way.

Fucksake

rushed home in time to see dier do that

Korea trailing Qatar 1-0 with nine minutes to go. Fingers crossed.

We are all Qataris now.

He's coming home

The prodigal Son returns!

yesss

are Qatar good now? Assume they've gotten a few ringers in

Their top player and leading goalscorer:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebasti%C3%A1n_Soria

He has been playing for them since 2007 tbf.

They have less ringers than many European national squads tbh.

True. Let he who is without sin...

was gonna say!

fuck these personality vacuum idiots

Two FBs, three and a half CBs and defending like this.

every one of these men is a professional footballer what a pack of bad old days cunts

Hahahaha

never in doubt

Match-fixing levels of incompetence here.

trippier is the embodiment of joe harts brittle guts

a word for the bein commentary the worst i ever heard

think scraping a Europa place probably a higher priority than losing to Chelsea or United in the semi tbf

i wonder if man utd manager elect poch has spotted that kane or son arent out there to bail out his preferred method of stodgeball from centre back to dier

poch out

a word for the bein commentary the worst i ever heard

Jonathan Pearce ranting about Sanchez not understanding the significance of the cup/playing a team from London

IS THIS THE END OF POCHETTINO AT TOTTENHAM he screamed at one stage

this from trippier is the single worst performance ive seen from a player since

hmmm

gary doherty, maybe anthony gardner

that ahould be a pen

nah it was outside

like it even matters tbf

so like

is poch leaving then

because i dismissed it as silky buggers from press

but hmm listening in, it didnt have that ring to it

Almost every major club in Europe is potentially in the market for a new manager. I can see him leaving but a bidding war between Juve, Barca, PSG, Bayern, etc, wouldn’t be the worst way to lose him and there might be a few decent replacements circulating.

rumours in the Italian press are that Allegri is going to PSG and Conte is going back to Juve

big club with a small mentality

They seem to be kind of ashamed of being thought of as a big club.

thats a lot to hang on a cl final appearance lads

you could read the cl final as the culmination and ultimate example of spursing it

not that I do - just making a cheap easy dig tbph

can we get a name change

Eriksen wants out btw (google translate link)

yes i realise this

sell it all and offer poch a real challenge, eleven youth players and janssen

prove yourself

the days are long once again. the modules are being prepared for delivery. is it time for a transfer thread?

I would certainly think so

keeping it spurs related, villas-boas to marseille should be fun, especially if balotelli stays.

kinda gutted lfc didn't go for julian brandt and think max kruse would be a good option for spurs can play cf/#10 and is on a free transfer (he is 30 or so tho)

Eriksen has been playing at a level below what he's capable of for most of the season. Might have something to do with him playing 90mins of every game, including the cups, admittedly. Would be tempted to cash in but we can't really play without him and there is a lot to be said for a player who can keep up that kind of workrate without ever getting injured.

i think the midfield chemistry changing to allow sissoko to gallop into legend is of a piece with the fading of any consistency of sting eriksen or alli could bring and especially in kanes absence

hard to see which jenga piece you remove, if you have to move any
