Unfortunately, a style’s effectiveness is often determined, not by the players, but by the officials.

A bad-ass version of a woke car? I think the owner may have issues that need to be worked out.

Perhaps not yet. Is Fofana playing for Belgium?

Absolutely, top 4 isn’t the end goal, just the midpoint of what should be the ultimate goal, to win the Champions League. Of course, that’s hard, but competing in it attracts talent to improve the club.
Targeting the League & FA cups seems like settling for leftovers.

Winning a cup competition is nice, but ultimately meaningless. What only truly matters is winning the Premier League or the Champions League & you can't win it if you are not in it. So, I will happily accept finishing "Top 4" if it affords Spurs a shot at being the best of the best! #COYS

Thank you for sparing me the need to listen to Danny Kelly. You have put together an excellent recap!

Perhaps because I am used to American sports & am a relatively recent Spurs supporter, I have a somewhat controversial opinion on what their goal should be. (cont...)

I hear the Giants want him as their kicker. The only problem is getting that man bun in a helmet.

Toney makes £400,000 per week. Is he going to take a 50% pay cut???
And I’m not even convinced it’s a good idea if he is willing.

Play positive football to get the lead then after the 75th min or so, it’s smart to turn pragmatic.

I read that he will stay & train at Tottenham over the break which should mean that he’ll be closely monitored.

WWII - The Bridge over the River Kwai or The Great Escape
(Both prisoner of war movies)
US/Korean War - Mash
Nuclear Cold War- Dr Strangelove
All not your typical war movies, but excellent!

With the long list of players injured, it’s very difficult for any manager to develop a cohesive squad. The first choice players now can’t play every game. It is not surprising then that TF defaults to his Brentford model. Let’s see when players return & he has a semblance of the squad imagined.

Everybody is bunched together right now, but there is a lot left to the race. The offense with Xavi & RKM is starting to acquire form. Odobert & Tel too. Spurs just need to stay close enough, then have a strong finish. 🤞

I won’t argue, but minutes will be hard to find. Fortunately, he qualifies Champions League B list.
November 8, 2025 at 4:45 PM
I totally disagree. Yes, they had a couple of bad spells, but statistically, across the board, Spurs were the better club. Two brain farts defending cost them the win.
November 8, 2025 at 4:42 PM
I couldn’t understand why RKM came off at the half, unless it was a knock. Tel absolutely needs to play more, perhaps splitting time with Odobert at LW. Let RKM & Solanke man the 9 spot. If there is a possibility to backfill, I would not be sad to see Richie & Brennan moved on in January.
