I believe when Sky showed this graph we didn't even have a shot. Let alone one on target!

Positive was the result and Romero. Recognising that we had absolutely no build up isn't negative it's a fact.

Confused by deviating from the heterodox? Deviating from established norms/doctrine/habits is by definition to be heterodox.

I fear that Tottenham are basically as bad right now as they were in January/February, but with less mitigation, less credit in the bank for the manager, and without the sense of shared purpose provided by the Europa League campaign.

It looks even worse than that match back in 2024! At least then we had the highs of the win over Villa and the first 10 matches before Chelsea. This is just pure horror.

Although the last time I was in Oz and we played Fulham was 2024 and that match was the first cracks for me in the Ange rollercoaster

On for Bergvall? gray? Out left instead of Richy? I like that he's stuck with Bergvall and Gray personally. I'm keen to see how this plays out and rotation for Tuesday.
