Fair point!

Yup! Proper ballers

Bodo are legit good, arguably we are not but somehow we have sailed through

Extraordinary that so many football aristocrats have to scrape through the punishing playoffs — the new UCL format works!

Nothing better in football than a goalkeeper scoring a decisive goal in injury time

So I hear!

It’s very dangerous to give debuts to kids with that sort of pressure, I think Frank got it right - but obviously we need to see pathways for our young talent

Homer Simpson meme saying 4TH OUT OF 36 IN THE CL 14TH IN THE PL

Glorious! Baffling! Wonderful!

Champions League table with Spurs 4th

Tottenham Hotspur, the fourth-best team in all of Europe

That’s more like it!!

A really solid, composed, mature away victory. Yet another clean sheet, and Spurs roaring through to the last 16! How is the same team from Saturday?!

Is there a Tommy too?

Spurs looking more coherent, with more quick interplay — wingers and wingbacks getting space to put in crosses. It’s not bad, actually. Real shame about the disallowed goal and Odobert’s strike against the post, but I don’t mind this if we can turn it into a goal or three #COYS

We are supporting this conference on Charles Ignatius Sancho, the late-18thC Black British polymath. A recent upsurge in scholarly discoveries makes it timely to bring together international scholars and practitioners for the first time in over 25 years! www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/events/briti...

Haha! I was just thinking about the good ol’ days of Eric (Dier) and Eriksen, and the sons: Sigurdson, Jansson, Son

Spurs love signing nominative clusters

In which I discover Spurs have a youth player called Tye Hall who is not the youth player Tyrese Hall

If this is a cunning ruse to smuggle Harry Kane out of Munich, hidden in Goretza’s luggage, I’m here for it

Got young kids? Live near London? Come see me and my brilliant illustrator @rikinparekh.bsky.social doing a fun live event at the @southbankcentre.bsky.social in half-term. It’s 3pm on February 17th, with affordable tickets, and live draw-a-long session — it’s gonna be so fun!

It gets better!!

I agree, I'm amazed how badly it's gone under Frank. I expected us to be boring but effective; but we are woeful and ineffective, and barely making good use of good players

Enormous talents, but we also need more players in the Gallagher profile - we can't keep signing youngsters, it's reckless (as proven at Chelsea)

But we have several first team regulars 22 or younger, and it’s too much

I’d disagree, I’d say 24-27 is what we lack — physically dominant but 5 years of top flight experience

Yup… it’s gonna be a bumpy few months

We need technical players in peak ages, and if you buy those any coach can use them

I think we desperately need wing backs, ideally a CM who can pass, and an elite LW — everything else is adequate for now

Yes I’ve heard this before, it’s fascinating — bodies adapt over time to the training requirements, but if you change the protocol too often, you overload the muscles

I was open to it, even though I worried he’d not really adapted his style to avoid future injuries. But turns out, we got injuries anyway!
