6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and Romo is already starting on 'the whole season comes down to this play'.

Sigh...it's going to be a long 2nd half.

The thing I can't wrap my head around with Frank is that he's going to lose his job because of his absolute insistence on being so defensive. The solution to all his problems is obvious, yet he refuses to do it.

And you might think it's just a failure to get buy-in from players ...

I continue not to care about wins and losses. There's a way that we could have exactly the same record and I'd be excited about the future of the club. If our manager were inspirational, the football was exciting, and our youth were being developed with playing time.

"The only thing I can say is Ange is a legend and always will be. He won a massive trophy, he was a big part of that and we all stand on the shoulders of others. I stand on the shoulders of Ange and now I’m trying to build on that."

Arsenal have now allowed Forrest the majority of possession in this game....and that's what our vertically aligned organization will view as success. This football is what we're striving for. Rather than viewing this football as anathema to our clubs identity, they view it as aspirational.

Well everyone else, now is your chance to stop buying American products and paying for American services. If you need tips, ask folks in Canada who’ve been doing it for the better part of the last year.

It’s easy for some stuff, trickier for other stuff, and damn near impossible for a small sliver.

Frank now sits us back to secure a vital point in our relegation scrap.

Depending on our CB to run forward and field headers while ignoring all of our good technical players is the organizationally aligned future we can look forward to.

This is the organizationally aligned future we have to look forward to.
Just 2 more seasons if this and the opposition will have so little respect for Tottenham that Thomas Frank's tactics will start to work.

Red Card incoming. The players are frustrated and will eventually chop a leg to prove it.

This has been criminally bad.

West "relegation bound" Ham is having their way with us.
just to repeat, we are not pressing west ham.
January 17, 2026 at 3:37 PM
Ceding possession to (checks notes) West Ham.

This, obviously, is the way forward for the club.

No matter what, I can console myself by saying that I don't support a team that is a Pool of Livers.

I frequently see Spurs supporters on here say, with absolute confidence as if it's a foregone conclusion, that the club are planning to bring Poch back.

Is this sentiment based on anything beyond wishful thinking?

Two things....

1. Failure to use the oxford comma is a criminal offense and thus he should be in prison.

2. When he says "football has changed", he means Arteta and the look-alikes. Boring football dependant on set pieces. We shouldn't be desperately trying to follow what other clubs do....

A thing that just occurred to me that bummed me out is that I may have to stand in line to do it. His gravesite may be the longest urinal line in History.

I'd love to get excited about Gallagher, but I have no faith that Frank's system will allow him to flourish. He may be a creative passer, but when no one is allowed up the pitch there are no meaningful passes to be made.

I'll admit my sense of humor has some dark alleys...

And this is one of them.
