Something like "horizon planning," I expect.

I'd certainly like to know what Vinai's done right since he took up his post.

So no new manager bounce, then. #COYS

Well, at least we had equal possession for that 5 minutes. #COYS

Yes, but Charles is the law!

RIP GM Jan Timman.

I was thinking Greensleeves...

Going to the Arsenal match dressed like this. #COYS

So, Igor Tudor it is.

With any luck our next 6 results will be:
-Drawed
-Beheaded
-Died
-Drawed
-Beheaded
-SURVIVED

#COYS

It would be classic Spurs to lurch from the calm of Frank to the crazy of De Zerbi. #COYS

New manager, please. #COYS

I hope he's all-white.

FIDE president Arkady Dvorkovich is reportedly on the next EU sanctions list.

The list will be published on February 24.

Huge implications for chess if it happens.

And how many Russian?

Or... with Arsenal's league position, we don't have the luxury of winning this game.

Tomorrow is now a must-lose game for us. #COYS

The struggle is real in Marlow, Bucks.

Their quality is not in question. They have shown their quality on bigger stages than Spurs.

Their costs reflects that.

What doesn't equate to quality is current form - the current form you mistakenly cite as supporting your point.

The front line is a £60m striker, a French international, a £50m Dutch international AM, two French u21s, a £60m RW, not to mention the injured Deki and Maddison.

The club has invested heavily.

"Relegation quality" it is not. "Relegation form" is more accurate, and that is down to Frank.

The squad isn't where we want it to be, but is it a squad of relegation battlers?

Absolutely not.

Frank is underperforming in the league at the moment and there's no getting away from it.

Performing miracles? Don't be silly. He must improve.

Does he have to?

Or is that just convention.

Excellent read. Symptomatic of a problem in many walks of life, but especially clear in football.

Ultimately, this approach sucks the life and soul out of football.

Probably the worst effect of our current malaise is the growing feeling of apathy. This is a new thing.

Yes, absolutely true. We are in a lose-lose situation, both literally and figuratively.

Deliberate yes, but doesn't change anything.

So no, Frank is not in imminent danger this second - unless Vinai is willing undermine himself.

Personally, I think he has to go regardless. #COYS

It appears Vinai saw no danger of us losing to West Ham. Why else would he intervene like that?

But we did. Yikes. Vinai has now tied his own hands behind his back.

Here was a huge PR own goal, one that you might use as an example of why a board might think it's not always a good idea to communicate with fans.

It also may reveal something about Vinai's thinking.

Is Thomas Frank about to be sacked by Spurs?

It struck me this morning that Vinai wrote in his open letter before the West Ham match that we all need patience.

To sack Frank after saying that makes him look stupid. #COYS

Bg3+ Kg1 Bxf2+ Rxf2 Rh1+ Kxh1 Nxf2 yummy yummy.

Hope I got that right.

The Glas ceiling does exist (at Palace).
