đźšş Spurs Women

BBC Sport (Football) need to provide much more information (gossip, articles etc) so the coverage of Woman's football in general is more informative and interesting. It should enjoy close to parity with the Men's coverage.

Yep, surprised me. The council has now gifted themselves more costs and have no idea what to do to get out of them. It was an old barely used golf course, that is now a site for dog walkers. We were going to re-instate and improve much of the park, instead of letting it become a dumping ground and dog toilet.

They say they will help find another site, it will be interesting what (if anything they can come up with).

Very shortsighted view taken by the campaigners who have clearly overlooked the benefits the club has bought to the community with the stadium investment, they were prepared to do similar here by leasing a now unmanaged and redundant golf course. The campaigners argument really doesn't stack up and, looking at the locality, there are numerous green areas with public accessibility contrary to what they say.
 
Suppose we could try buying the businesses and land here opposite whitewebbs lane and build a bridge or underpass to access it and then have a proper building and set up for the women adjacent to the Hotspur way complexIMG_7809.jpeg

They got this report wrong from the start as we finished 5th not 4th​

​

Tottenham Hotspur (7th in 2024–25, 4th in 2025–26)​

​

Pragmatic pivot: tighter back line, leaner attack, better results.

Tottenham represent one of the season’s most remarkable turnarounds, climbing from 7th place (7 points) to 4th (12 points) through a defensive revolution that has fundamentally altered their identity.

  • Defence transformed. Spurs have halved their goals conceded from 14 to 7 (–50%) across the opening six games. The improvement lifts their goal difference from –2 to 0, turning last season’s leaky profile into a far steadier baseline.
  • Attack scaled back but more selective. Tottenham’s goal output has fallen from 12 to 7 (–42%), with chance volume easing across the board. Shots have declined from 85 to 62 (–27%), shots on target from 40 to 26 (–35%), big chances from 13 to 8 (–38%), and chances created from 61 to 38 (–38%). Shot accuracy has also dipped from 47.1% to 41.9% (–5.2 percentage points). The intent is more measured than last season’s end-to-end approach. Fewer waves, fewer turnovers, less chaos.
  • Control profile: small trade-off. Possession has dipped slightly from 51.5% to 49.0% (–2.5 percentage points). With fewer entries and a calmer tempo, Spurs are conceding some ball share to keep their structure intact. It appears to be a conscious style trade: marginally less territory for a major gain in defensive stability.
  • Scoreboard payoff. Despite lighter attacking numbers, points have risen from 7 to 12 (+71%), and the record has improved from two wins, one draw and three losses to four wins and two defeats. By trimming volatility and shoring up the back, Spurs have raised both their floor and their league position.
Data verdict: Tottenham look materially sturdier. A defence-first recalibration that is converting into wins. If they can recover even a slice of last year’s attacking volume (shots 85 to 62, big chances 13 to 8) without loosening the back door, they are built to sustain a top-four pace deep into autumn.
