Good ol Spurs

Certainly it is fair to say the back 3 will not take any prisoners, but equally fair to say that they might be a tad one paced - and that pace is dead slow

Interesting squad and think there are some gems in midfield, a decent keeper and 1 or 2 solid defenders. It is the forwards that do not instill confidence at all.

In the words of the Kaiser Chiefs " I predict a riot" it that ever occurs.

Not sure they will. There seems to be a total apathy to take them on.

Yes i miss the days of the Liverpool white suit and embarrasing FA Cup songs - apart from 1970s Blue is the Colour of course

News today that reformed club Macclesfield FC is to join North West Counties Premier Division next season. Another club Another example of financial mismanagement. Good luck to the Silkmen on a long and arduous journey back to the football league.

They have had a go on here but failed miserably.

Ahhh you said the name out loud, i'm just hoping it is an urban myth and he won't really appear on this topic.

Congrats

It's all mock outrage. The BBC got eveyone except uncle Tom Cobbley to voice a shocked opinion. If the SG wants to get Covid under control then they should focus their ire on the large numbers within certain communities that are steadfastly refusing to get a vaccine when offered. And if the SG wants people to respect its wishes then it should be even handed in its response to gatherings. People know they are taking the piss so will do so as well.

Another spontaneous meet?

That was a better display than our local council puts on !!!!!

It's not often that Chelsea do anything easily.

Yep, he has done remarkably well with some of the players who downed tools for Lampard and like SG at Gers his own tactical nouce has mad Chelsea harder to beat, which is always a good starting point. If he can emulate DiMatteo and win the FA Cup and CL he will become a legend at the Bridge. Hopefully the powers that be will give him more time than Roberto.

Yes ownership of football on the whole is seen as either a status symbol, a way to refinance debt or an opportunity to graft some cash, legally or not - there are exceptions but as Bury FC and Portsmouth before them to name just two of the many would testify, the size of the club is nothing compared to some of the owners egos, greed or incompetence... or all three.

Stop trying to improve Spurs, I like them just the way they are.

Not when they have had Voldemort running them for the last 20 years!!!

That's the million dollar question that most supporters ask. Try asking Everton who have been trying for years.

Agree, and unlike the Glaziers, Abramovich has at least used his own funds without leveraging debt on the club. One of the Interesting stats I noticed in a recent review of those ESL clubs, Chelsea was the only one of the twelve in the black. Also steps have been made to balance the books, hence the £130m for Hazard was used to buy most of the players bought last year, plus the emergence of Mount, James, Hudson Odoi, Gilmour, Christiansen, Abraham and Gallagher all coming through the youth team. It's not perfect but its is neither owned by a country or American franchisee and being milked. Then again, Mike Ashby has been doing that quite successfully at Newcastle and don't get me started on Gold/Sulivan at the spanners or Lewis/ Levy at the Spuds. Is there any modern template of a decent owner?

No so sod off

Wow that was tense, Derby hang on at 3-3, though at HT they were down!!!

? ?

Never underestimate the stupidity of UEFA, as these where the clowns that sent Chelsea and Arsenal to Baku where hardly anyone could get to. But well done the Blue boys.

I'd say Wycombe, Rotherham and hopefully Derby.
