TOTTENHAM ARE STILL A BIG CLUB!

Carabao cup tho

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8584391/Tottenham-offered-chance-sign-Watford-captain-Troy-Deeney-Jose-Mourinho-seeks-cover.html

I'd prefer one of the Bournemouth lads despite their problems this season, they're younger and could perform better with improved service. Plus I don't think Deeney is physically well suited to spending large amounts of time on the bench. But nearly anyone will do right now.

Would prefer an up and coming European prospect but I guess their price tag would be prohibitive for us at this stage. And very few higher tier strikers would agree to playing second fiddle to Kane for most of the season.

I don't think Deeney is physically well suited to spending large amounts of time on the bench.

Let's not beat about the bush, he's a fat bastard. I think Mou has realized his trolling isn't having much effect on opposition managers anymore so he mostly concentrates on trolling Spurs fans these days.

You know it's quite strange that Amnesty Are demanding more stringent tests for the Premier League than from the Government on Arms sales, Kate Allen was a representative of Haringey council, that's Tottenham.... Spurs war by proxy. pic.twitter.com/K6vrQVRU4I

For shame lads

Højbjerg has signed.

Manchester City are preparing a £40m bid for England and Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks, 24

O_o

Winks is one of the players I was thinking would benefit from playing alongside Hojberg, allowing him to play the game he should be playing rather than continuing to entertain the notion that he's a defensive midfielder. But Mourinho just isn't the manager to develop that game.

We've probably planted this story in order to generate some interest so hey.

Winks seems willing but I’m not sure he’s good enough to justify keeping him as anything other than an occasionally-used squad member.

Milan are rumoured to have agreed a price for Aurier but are mulling over whether his ‘exuberant character’ makes it a good idea.

Let’s hope Gazzaniga stays fit. In retrospect, it’s a shame they didn’t sign Pau Lopez after his loan.

Pervis Estupiñán is being linked. Excellent season at Osasuna and far too good to be heading back to Watford.

lol massive signing

His neck is genuinely disconcerting. How have I never noticed this before?

It’s the same size and width as his head.

it's possible that Head and Shoulders causes head shrinkage

When, if ever, did you start thinking Tottenham were a bunch of cunts?

Eriksen rumoured to be up for sale already.

Doc improves Spurs imo but i'm cool with us moving him on tbh, assuming we replace him with somebody younger and more mobile

the usual eejits in the Express and Star are prophesying the usual disaster tho

watched the first couple of episodes of the Amazon Spurs doc

Jose is really quite endearing when he's turning on the charm (although you can sense the darkness lurking just out of frame)

also Harry Kane is the least inspiring man alive

in a field where Michael Owen has lived and worked?

Owen is only "alive" in a theoretical sense

Schrödinger's footballer

lol

Getting knocked out of the Europa League by Plovdiv despite a full strength squad.

Plovdiv down to nine men. Do they have time to make it 2-0?

Ok, 1-1 now.

2-1 Spurs, never in doubt, on to Macedonia.

Might get through to the next round after all

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54237123

No idea how we managed to get through with that bizarre lineup but Spurs were legit good in the second half.

Or rather incompetent in many ways but purposeful and energetic. Chelsea were awful.

Literally any striker will do at this point but nothing I’ve seen of Carlos Vinicius suggests he’s much good. He struggled at Monaco and had half a decent season in the Portuguese premier league before dropping off. I guess he’s the best they’re likely to get on loan with four days to go though.

Inevitably, like Gedson, he’s represented by Jorge Mendes.

Doherty too

I'm curious as to how long Mendes and other agents can get away with representing both managers and players, particularly when some of the clubs are PLCs. As long as they don't make Spurs take up Gedson's €50m option to buy, it'll probably be a while though.

Tottenham's hopes of agreeing a new contract with forward Son Heung-min, 28, have been boosted after the South Korean joined the same agency as manager Jose Mourinho. (Talksport)

However, Mourinho says that will have no influence on Son's ongoing contract talks. (Star)

Hadn't realised how close Son and Kane were to becoming the most productive goalscoring partnership since the dawn of time (ie 1992). That's kind of insane seeing as it only really feels like they've clicked together this year. I suppose Dele was supposed to play that role, if Mourinho has done one thing that Poch would never have done, it's turning Kane into a consistent, high-level provider rather than expecting him to be on the end of everything.

I suppose now that Solskjaer is good not bad that explains why Poch is off to Zenit St. Petersburg. That and getting paid a gazillion roubles a year.

Shanghai SIPG in 2022, Marseille by 2024.

new clues into officer suicide:

Officer Liebengood was a Tottenham Hotspur fan like myself. We’d always talk about Spurs.

He was such a kind person. I always enjoyed chatting with him in the hallways.

This is just so heartbreaking.

R.I.P. Officer Liebengood.

I’ll really miss our convos about Spurs. https://t.co/i2frW0FBaO

An unexpected viewpoint!

“I really like to watch football!” she declares. “Strange, maybe, but I think it’s very relaxing. When I used to tour here in the UK a lot, my whole crew were Tottenham fans, so we just ended up watching a lot of (their) games,” she explains, referring back to touring the ‘Body Talk’ trilogy. Across the course of 2010, Robyn binned off conventional album releases, and instead dropped three mini-records in a single year. The tour that followed was her final outing as a solo artist for eight years. “I was like, ok, this is my team,” she says. “Tottenham at that time really sucked, they were one of the worst teams ever.”

“I like that they really sucked, and they’ve battled back!” Robyn adds proudly. “They’re not giving up! If you meet these big teams, with all this celebrity and money, and star players, you have to own up to it, and not let go of your idea of yourself. They’re underdogs.”

All depends on when u get on the ladder doesnt it

I knew that the few years where pochs alchemy worked wouldnt last forever but league position be damned a carabao cup final be especially damned and tbh jose aint all the way wrong about these cunts being shit but dele alli capping his year off by mugging his disrespect for the coach and the club for his live insta feels like a particular kind of low
