Have never quite been able to love a Mitski album before, but this new one i think is great

Obviously not enjoying this Fulham-Spurs game at all apart from the fact that Oscar Bobb is really a very enjoyable name to hear spoken

I don't know how they'll win games. There are no fit players who are matchwinners. None. They had a few games around the turn of the year where they didn't play that badly, and the games were right there to win, and they just didn't. They're currently the worst team in the league

He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste, but his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts

Indeed. Though when that happens season after season, it feels less like bad luck, and more like bad recruitment. Maybe sign less injury-prone players ...

I do feel bad for Frank. I think recruitment and the players are more to blame than him. This really is such a bad squad of players. Like, when Porro arrived, I just thought "he's fun, but a total liability" but now it's "why can't the rest of them be more like Porro"

Starting to wonder if at Brentford last season, it was actually Frank that coached dead balls (which, big tick, Tottenham are better at than under Ange) and Andrews that did everything else

I have never watched such unenjoyable football as Spurs have played in the league this season. It is, in a way, mesmerising. None of them, apart from VdV, who can run and get in the way of things, can do anything

Beautiful Days 2026: A landmark lineup for a festival that refuses to stand still.... β€” musomuso.com Beautiful Days has never been a festival that chases trends.

The question everyone's been asking has been answered. Yes, it seems Tottenham Hotspur are the 4th best team in Europe

No other new romantic looked quite so much like they played six seasons as a bowling all-rounder for Derbyshire as Tony Hadley

How many times is too many times to have heard Tim Sherwood say "there's only one winner and that's Spurs" and then know exactly what's coming next?

The Ashes 2025-26: Who made your team of the series? Find out which players made the cut into the BBC Sport team of the series for the Ashes.

Bit funny that there are six England players in this and only five Australians, but, at the same time, it does feel like England have been beaten by four players playing exceptionally well and not that much else. Ah well... i actually think it's been quite a good series www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Spurs played quite well for an hour in the way that average teams sometimes do, but there is so little accuracy in this team, so many formerly promising players playing without confidence. Almost fascinating ...

Fantastic that Tottenham only look like a team with any flair and attacking intent when their central defender decides to peg it down the middle of the pitch
