Hi Guys. I recently requested Walt to hold on to my Predictor Thread third place prize money for the time being. Rather than the requirement to get involved in international banking transfer activity, and given the popularity of 'predictors' on the site, I've opted to divert the funds toward a...

Firstly, apologies Walt, I overlooked the fact that you opened a Summary of the Season thread a week or so ago when writing the below.. Secondly, moderators, perhaps these two threads should be merged. I have tried however to come from a different perspective than purely results and player...

Despite the criticism regularly directed toward Levy for his unwillingness to invest in the team, his preparedness to back Paratici and Conte over the past two years cannot be disputed. As regards how Paratici has spent the three hundred million that Levy has entrusted him with, it's up for...

Fans, not results, should sound the alarm for Daniel Levy as apathy sets in among Tottenham faithful Story by Dan Kilpatrick • 2h ago There is no more corrosive an emotion in a fanbase than apathy. Angerand regret can be harnessed or reversed but, once it sets in, apathy is hard to shift and...

I don't know whether it has been reported in the UK, but our local press here in South Africa has been full of stories in recent days of an imminent sponsorship deal to the value of SA Rand 1 billion (50 million pounds), between the South African Tourism Board and THFC. Supposed objective at...

Gareth Bale has announced his retirement from Club and international football at age 33. Given his showing at the recent WC it's probably the right decision. It's a pity that the career setbacks he's experienced in recent years will probably tarnish his legacy. I'll always remember Gareth...

I'm sure that there will be conflicting views as regards how successful the transfer window has been., which will be interesting to read. I'll start the ball rolling with a few thoughts in this regard. The window I feel can be viewed from three perspectives. The players we bought. The flurry...

Will be interesting to read everybody's views on the season generally. My thoughts are as follows - The arrival of Conte and the January signings of Bentancur and Kulu for which Paratici deserves credit, were key to a successful season, the outcome of which could never have been predicted early...

I often feel that some of the criticism levelled at Levy/ENIC is somewhat unfair, and that our performance in the transfer market in terms of spend is nowhere near as bad as is often claimed, but that the real problem we have relates more to the quality and success of the signings made...

https://www.football365.com/news/nobody-likes-harry-kane-should-he-care-tottenham This article is actually quite nasty and spiteful, but given the current circumstances it did make me smile somewhat. It probably reflects the thoughts of many right now.

Apparently Foyth has made his move to Villareal permanent. Mixed feelings, although he was always error prone with us, he gave the impression of having a bit of class and potential. Probably though this is the best outcome for the player and for Spurs. It won't be lost on the new DOF and Manager...

Some interesting discussion and debate on the forum recently, both relative to the Mourinho issue and the longer term viability of a number of our players, with not unexpectedly some widely diverging views. To my mind we have a number of scenarios currently, all of which probably leave us in...

Ian St John sadly passed away last night. A fine player for Liverpool in the sixties, but iconic in his partnership with Jimmy Greaves in the Saint and Greavesie. One of the first, if not the first TV soccer magazine, now they are ten a penny. Nothing has ever matched the original though. RIP.

Pochettino gave some weird and bizarre media interviews during his time at Spurs, but nothing came close to the drivel spouted by Mourinho in his post match interview last night. Does he think that Spurs fans, and the footballing public generally, are all devoid of any intelligence. Rival Clubs...

Forty one PL goals over the weekend, in a season already characterised by high scoring games. Fourteen goals by ourselves in three games over seven days, What is happening. The only common denominator across all fixtures is empty stadiums. Are empty stadiums creating a feeling of wide open...

Following on from Ex's request to keep the new threads flowing during the off season, I thought it worthwhile to open up a thread in respect of 'non Spurs activity', of which there should be plenty over the coming weeks. It could be transfers, managerial changes, completion of European season...

Yesterday's posts concerning our best ever, and replies including reference to the Greaves and Gilzean partnership, set me thinking further on the subject of pairings that I touched on in a post last week. Over the years we have been fortunate as Spurs fans to see some outstanding pairings...

It seems probable that Kane and Son will not play again until very late in the season at best. Equally we can probably expect that the brand of football Jose is opting to play currently, will continue for the rest of the season, and certainly until at least one striker is available. It maybe...
