I know Spurs have a terrible home record this year, but at some point that HAS to change! Why not start this evening?
We're a better team than losing or drawing at our shiny stadium. We just can't let it be a place other teams lift themselves to play at.
We need to make it a fortress!

We're all a bit down about Spurs and don't hold much hope vs PSG.
Pause then, and look at this original 90s beauty I bought today - what a kit! 🤩 A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
And under £15 - I love a bargain 🙌

Not meaning any disrespect, but I genuinely didn't know who this was 😬
I'm sure he's a good player, but Spurs adding Simons and Kolo Muani to an attack including in-form Richy and their former best player Kudus, I know who I feel sorry for...

Other Clubs are managing to operate within rules and are closing gap, by buying low-selling high-reinvesting.
Villa haven't done that - buying high or older players for quick results, but not selling well.
There are ways of working within PSR, but Villa aren't using them

I'm going back to an earlier point you made about it being difficult to make money because Villa are in Aston.

It's easy to blame the rules, but the rules are the same for everyone.
Credit where it's due, Levy did a brilliant job diversifying income streams (concerts, NFL, etc) and he kept Spurs' wages lower than others (to frustration of many fans)

That's fine, but I think the key is wages vs income - I think I said as a % of their total spend before.
If they turn around and spend 90% of their income on wages, that's unsustainable

I feel like these actions are going to fuel Spence's hero arc in this game!
He's going to want to make a difference today.
Still plenty of time to come back and win

Looking back at 23-24 season, Odobert and Tel showed that at least one of them may have the stuff needed to develop into our left wing 1vs1 monster.
Playing for Burnley, Odobert consistently got past his man, and Tel had encouaraging stats at Bayern.
Both need coaching

Akliouche should be one of the players Spurs sign to help fill our creativity drain after losing Son/Madders/Deki long term.
He'll do great at 10, but he can also shift to the wings.
He was joint 10th for assists across Europe's top 5 leagues last season (=3rd in Ligue 1)

I know people will think I'm saying it because I'm bitter, but if Spurs end up signing Akliouche instead of Eze as our 10/winger, it may work in our favour.
Comparing their stats, Maghnes comes our on top in most metrics

True, he's only played 20 off left vs 143 off right wing.
He's predominantly left-footed though, and I could see Frank using him to good effect there.
Fact he's played in every forward position makes him a versatile player so could be used in various roles and give tactical flexibility

With City seeming to want a lot more than the £50m bid for Savio, I wonder if Spurs will look elsewhere.
Only other winger I've seen linked recently is Kubo - a RW who can play AM or LW. Versatility seems key in our targets.
Interestingly, Savio is like Son while Kubo is like Deki...

I'm sad it's Sonny's last game for us today. He's been a wonderful player for over a decade and he will be a fantastic human and a Club legend forever!
