Tottenham LIVE: Spurs forum and blog

Tottenham get seventh Premier League away win to move to within 2 points of leaders Man City as Juan Foyth’s first senior goal secured a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace.

Positives

We managed to extend our record of having the best away record in the league.

We were able to keep ourselves in top 4 and put pressure on the others there.

We managed to continue our best ever start to the season.

We have an up and coming centerback in Foyth who managed to forget the last game and played with confidence- still a bit raw but looking like a good prospect for the future-...

It's back , Premier League football

International nations league whatever it's called over and back to Business!

Tomorrow we visit our old friends the Spammers in their most important fixture of the season the inferiority complex cup.

So this will be the apex of it all.

All those kickabouts on the dusty backstreets of Rosario, all those shimmies and feints that sent his peers in the Newell’s Old Boys youth academy back home to their parents snivelling, all those chips, flicks, drag-backs and goals — oh yes, all those goals — that propelled him to superstardom and beyond for FC Barcelona; this, above all else, will be the moment it had all led to.

Lionel Messi’s passion for football had been founded on legends. As a child he had been brought up on his favourite story of Ricky and Ossie; two...
