November 10, 20241 yr The club need to have a hard conversation with Ange during the break. Yet another match they don't come out with any passion, energy, or fight. They were going thru the motions in the first half. This has happened way too many times this year.
November 10, 20241 yr They need to tighten up with as poor as the defense is right now. That they play as wide open as they do, fun - but puts them at risk. Howard said it best post game: Setup to score 3 in the 2nd half, but also still so wide open they could give up more.

Howard said it best post game: Setup to score 3 in the 2nd half, but also still so wide open they could give up more. Here's the weird part... The eye test says our defense is poor... But we're top half in the league in goals against, level with Chelsea, Man City, and only 1 behind Arsenal Meanwhile, we're top on goals scored and second in goal differential I think the problem is when/who we give those goals up to. We give up chunks of goals to teams that we think should be easy, and so we don't come out with focus? Or is it that we're more wide open against those teams thinking we'll score at will, and we're more pragmatic against better teams?
November 13, 20241 yr Author Supposedly Bentacur is getting a 7 game suspension for his "they all look alike" comments.
November 13, 20241 yr 7 games? That's pretty fucking ridiculous, given that Silva was given a single game and a fine for what I would consider a similar incident. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/11860441/bernardo-silva-manchester-city-midfielder-banned-and-fined-over-benjamin-mendy-tweet
November 13, 20241 yr I didn't realize that Argentina players were let out by the FA and not even charged. So Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea) wasn't even punished by the FA for their homophobic chant on the bus. Edited November 13, 20241 yr by Captain Ron

I see it as who we have played and where… ain’t played away to any of the top teams yet. we gettin worked by being exposed at the back. And vicario is decent but he’s not great. bring in an 80 million dollar keeper. Another 50 million dollar CB to replace Mickey and push Romero. a 70 million dollar ACM 40 million LW. 50 million RB- this key, that can actually play defense and then we can cook. what’s that 300 million in investment? that’s an easy day lol. 😂
November 23, 20241 yr Watched it all. But I came in late to post when we scored first. didn’t wanna jinx. But I think we safe now LFG I was like I didn’t say coys in the thread. But we scored. So. Don’t say anything.. and we scored again. I was like. Ok. No thread today
November 23, 20241 yr Congrats, that was awesome. Kulusevki has been bossing most games I’ve seen this year.
November 25, 20241 yr I gotta say - Saturday was great. Spurs win. Longhorns win. Aggies lose. Does it get better than that?
November 25, 20241 yr Author Vicario fractured his right ankle and had surgery today. Out several months.
November 25, 20241 yr Well that's fucking great. We bitch about him being soft and now we're going to be without him for a few months. Hope they do the right thing and spend some money in the winter transfer window.
November 25, 20241 yr Recommended read https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-postecoglou-man-city-b1196103.html Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou handed familiar problem after another statement Man City win From sublime to ridiculous has been the story of Spurs’ season so far Quote These wild swings in form are the story of Spurs' season so far, and it is hard to remember another team with such a gaping chasm between their best and their worst – making it difficult to assess the progress of Postecoglou's project. Saturday's result undeniably felt like a landmark for Spurs, a glimpse of their potential under Postecoglou and perhaps a statement to the league's other top clubs. It will count for nothing, however, if Spurs do not beat Fulham at home next weekend, a point made forcefully at the Etihad by Dejan Kulusevski, who dismissed the suggestion that beating City could be 'a turning point' for Spurs. "No, no because we have to be much more consistent," Kulusevski said. "It’s not a turning point. The article touches on a lot of things. But the real key, IMHO is that Spurs are not yet ready to dominate teams they dictate play on. They play with teams that play open (see Man City over the weekend), they struggle with teams that bunker in.

November 28, 20241 yr Heading to London Town in January to catch the match against Leicester. This is going to be a fun time. But I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, and would sure welcome any suggestions.
November 28, 20241 yr “Come early, be loud, stay late, wear orange blue.” do you have match tickets yet?

Yeah--it's my birthday, so Mrs.LL sprung for some premium tickets. Something about the locker room--like there's a club in the locker room NFL teams use when they're playing there? I don't exactly know, but whatever.

That’s pretty much it exactly: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/tickets/premium-experiences/matchday-options/experiences/ We took the orange line to White Hart Lane, couldn’t be easier. Walked back down to Seven Sisters to get on the tube. Probably would be better to take the orange line train from the stadium next time. We got there early so we could beat the crowds and enjoy the food. Hung around later afterwards to let things thin out and enjoy more food. You’ll be sitting on the east side so if it somehow happens to be sunny, bring sunglasses.

December 1, 20241 yr This game is still up and down. Spurs haven’t found a way to control this game. And there are stretches where Fulham is on the front foot.
