Four have tried, and four have failed. First came a towering Togolese, followed by a stocky Dutchman sandwiched between two misfiring Spaniards. If supporters are ever required to provide an embodiment of the idiom “poisoned chalice”, they need only namecheck Emmanuel Adebayor, Roberto Soldado, Vincent Janssen and Fernando Llorente in the same sentence — those who have borne the “Harry Kane understudy” placard. The first pair did so unwittingly; the latter well-enlightened to the fact.
The clock is ticking; transfer deadline day approaches. But in his latest Q&A with...
Two cup exits in four days is not a good thing, I’m sure of that. But judging by the noise coming from the internet, you’d think that it was the end of the world. Let’s examine why it isn’t.
First of all, it’s been mentioned about ten billion times that Tottenham would’ve gone through if the old away goal rule still existed in the League Cup. Think about that please. A Spurs team with no Kane, Dele, Son, and others and hanging on to a tiny one-goal advantage, went into Stamford Bridge against a full Chelsea XI and did what we would consider an excellent showing in...
Taking a 1 goal lead to the Bridge with a team resembling a makeshift life raft patched up with blue tac and sellotape.
This is actually getting predictably boring now , big match , big chance... Throw a lead away, then start trying before inevitably whimpering off with nothing but delusional talk of how proud everyone is in the face of adversity.
Pochettino the 'Magic Man' so magic he was forced into making the correct change by Davies getting injured, Rose came on and actually made us look like we were interested.
Today is the day where our Title 'challenging' Credentials are to be tested.
Are we going to step up and keep ourselves in the mix or settle for a toe to toe with Chelsea for 3rd/4th with Utd possibly breathing down our necks?
This fixture is huge , with all the factors involved building up to it.
The endless courting of our manager by Utd & the Press since Moanrinho went, the resurgence of Utd post him, OleGS staking his claim for the permanent position, our thin squad at creeking point, the 0-3 at Old Trafford......
This match symbolises how much we want it , do we...
At roughly the mid point of the English season and at the back end of the traditional busy festive period it seems a fair time to reflect on how season is panning out so far..
At the beginning of the season if someone were to ask me the question where in the league I'd expect us to finish my own personal opinion would be that City and Liverpool would be the run away front two and I'd like to get third but more likely 4th would be realistic given no summer investment.
So to be so close to city given our zero investment,massive injury problems and players returning late...
