    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Palace **. 28.12.25 4.30pm

    No argument there. Hopefully the return of Kulusevski will help (I have zero hope Solanke and Maddison return before season's end), and we also get a quality left-winger and left-back in January. All of those will help bolster our attack, and we can then conduct major surgery come the summer.

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Palace **. 28.12.25 4.30pm

    Tough game, and not one that will give a lot of ammunition to either Frank's defenders or his detractors, tbh. On the plus side, we ground out a win. On the negative, we looked pretty toothless doing it until Palace tired right at the end, which is natural given this is their third game in a...

    Cristian Romero

    Very, very on-brand for him to get sent off the way he did. It's amusing because he spent a couple of seasons being careful about red cards and it felt like his reputation as an unstable nutcase was fading. Then he gets sent off the way he did today, letting everyone down, and you realise that...

    Xavi Simons

    Frankly one of the most macaronic moments I've seen from one of ours in a very long time. Losing the ball constantly, okay, I get it, he's being overmatched in the Premier League, it happens, give him a year to adapt. I get it. But reacting by getting sent off at 30 minutes for a macaronic lunge...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Sat. 20th Dec. 5:30pm***

    Don't see how anyone can blame Frank for that, really. Team looked competitive for the first 30. Then Xavi Simons makes one of the brainless sequences of decisions I've ever seen - loses the ball poorly, something he'd been doing consistently until then, and then loses his head and rakes his...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    Well, the caveat here is that supporters often think they want a possession-heavy style of play, but then moan when we implement one. I remember the jibes thrown AVB's way for prioritising possession - I don't think I've ever seen more use of the word 'sterile', outside of a laboratory. Same...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Anyway - this habit of Vic's is getting more attention, which I hope at least gets him to consider cutting it out. It isn't healthy, for him or for the team.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Hear, hear. I have *never* seen another keeper capable of making the saves Gomes could. That Arsenal game in 2010 where he basically saved our season is something I'll never get out of my mind - save, after save, after save, some of them so utterly physics-bending that they still leave me...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Oh, I'm sure he'll learn from it - he looked gutted after that goal, and it's never a nice moment to feel like you let down your teammates. But it's usually the case that a youngster (or really, just someone inexperienced) failing at something isn't the fault of that person alone. It's also...

    I disagree mate. Yes Gray asks for the ball and yes, he then messes up when he gets it. But that's what young players do - they're brave, they try to do everything themselves, and they sometimes are too confident in moments like those. Part of leadership, and just mentoring as someone with more...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Gray's a kid trying to do everything by himself, as young players generally like to do. Him calling for the ball doesn't mean you just give it to him - you're the goalie, you can see what's behind Gray, and it's on you to make the decision as a player with nearly 10 more years of experience...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Interesting that he tried his usual yelling routine with Gray after sending him another hospital pass the kid ultimately couldn't handle - but this time, both VdV and Bentancur immediately put their arms around Gray and literally glared at Vicario. I'm not sure his routine of blaming everyone...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'll just point out that it is, still, a personnel issue. Playing Djed on the left because Udogie is injured for the majority of the time, limits us down that flank. It's a personnel issue because we lack a genuinely good left-footed player to swap in for Udogie there. You can see Frank's...

    True, we're guessing. But would be interested to find out what went on one day - maybe Levy does a tell-all book, who knows. ;)

    Yeah - specifically referring to Lewis here, mind. Don't recall the specific words the journo used, but it was something to the effect of Lewis growing less capable of overseeing his business empire, which included Spurs. Might have been Jack Pitt-Brooke on the Athletic, now that I come to think...
