It's on. I saw Simons coming out of Woolworths in Tottenham High Road with a bag of pick'n'mix and he told me this was like coming home.

Your dad makes a fair point though.

Worth remembering that Conte was a "a more pragmatic coach to extract the most juice from a flawed squad", and was successful with the squad that he had, but it wasn't much fun to watch. And, that the successful Spurs teams of the past shared a seam of toughness - McKay, Perryman, Roberts.

I should have thought it is a bit warm for balaclavas at this time of the year?

If you're in the north west it has to be Man U, or City, Liverpool, Everton, or Burnley. Avoiding relegation suggests you miss Burnley (and maybe Man U and Everton), leaves Man City or Liverpool. Plenty of TV coverage and probably win something in the next two years. Are your ancestors from England?

OK - but don't forget to ask the owners what their responsibilities are (not just the ones they are only just recognising), and how they have gone about fixing their lack of knowledge since they realised the mistake they made.

Owners playing at something and not paying attention to the rules - clear or otherwise. Easier to blame a third-party than acknowledging they made a mistake. Would love to see some humility and an apology from the owners. Fans deserve better.

Actually, it does still look like the case; the piece is just EUFA bashing. The rules were clear and the directors failed to do the right thing on time (they didn't expect CP to win the Cup!).
EUFA not perfect, but they didn't fail to get the deal done by 1 March.
My sympathy with CP fans.

Can't help thinking that all this UEFA bashing is cover for a failure by CP's directors to follow the rules that were already in place and which they failed to follow.
As is usually the case it is the fans who are made to suffer because owners are so often irresponsible.

The first claims against Partey are over three years old. They were public via social media. He had every opportunity to deny those claims, put the record straignt, and chose not. His lack of denial is the cause of this being an issue. Nothing to do with the law. Get over it; he isn't a martyr.

While an acquittal signifies the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, it doesn't definitively establish innocence. The presumption remains, true, and an acquittal means the defendant is free from the charges, but it doesn't erase the possibility of guilt.
