Son hattrick

Ange ball on fire

5-1

better get the team coach armour ready...

Are you watching Conte?

Solomon subbed for Perisic

cHARLIESTOWN ON FOR
sonny

5 away goals. I'll take that.  Good to see Son getting off the mark with his hattrick.

Ange is a suitable manager for younger players you've signed though?

Johnson and Madison will do well under him in my opinion

Yeah 47m is a bit risky but he's young and has talent

Wunder why Lloris didnt go on loan to Newcastle
Pope is bang average
Perhaps it was the lack of french cusine up there!!!

waiting for the saudi offer for a retirement package imo

Seems the Glaziers want a much higher price
Perhaps the bidders just offer Levy 3 billion?
Cheap as chips!!!

Sanchez GONE
YEHA

Ndombele too. And Galatasary are paying his wages apparently. Never want to hear of this c*"t again.

Charliestown needs HELP
Only on £5 million a year
BLESS

Quite a contrast in mood compared to how it was under the Conte regime. Seems that Big Ange and Spurs are a perfect fit for each other at this moment.

Was not too keen on the Johnson purchase, especially for the price, but to be fair to him, he took that goal pretty well. Shame it was offside. These next two games will tell where we are. Win or lose, no pressure for me. He cannot fully shape his team until he sees us against top opposition and learns how we cope. I feel we were a little fortunate against Utd and on another day, they could have finished the game off in the first half. That was an eye opener, now for the real thing with two teams showing a little form. Utd clearly aren't.

Yeah, that first half against Man U was definitely concerning. I agree that the next two games are far sterner tests.

I'm sure you all noticed that Kulusevski scored with his right foot. Good to see he had the confidence to try that.

Hopefully a return to his previous form. Johnson looked dangerous when he came on....apparently.  Lots of competition and options up front now.

9 mins extended highlights. Worth a watch imo, no delays

Never thought I would see kulusevski score for Spurs with his right foot.
Never thought I would see Poch back in London managing ,the year he left we were awful ,slow turgid football ,40 passes to the halfway line ,Winks playing as a third centreback ,who didn't tackle/head or track ,one yard passes ,TF it's Chelsea.

First win against Pool since 2017
Obviously the maiden win in the new stadium

Sounds good

COYS.

Another good game by Kulusevski; was impressed with him today and the young Sarr, amongst others. Confidence is growing. COYS.

Six straight wins for the U21's tonight. 18 for, 3 against. Top of the League. Are they playing Angeball?

Regardless, bodes well for the future if our kids are making their mark; I'm sure Posty is taking note.

Its offical

Wants a replay

Well its the big one tomorrow

Top of the league
hard deserved win

Wonder has Conte figured out that he was the problem rather than the players.

To be fair to Conte, before today's game we had the same points after 7 games last year. Conte lost his 8th.

Still, who really gives a fk?

Still top

If you've ever wondered, here's how Tottenham transfer their pitch to NFL

Another terrible international break. Son played a full game (a FRIENDLY versus Vietnam) carrying an injury and both Romero and Bissuma appear to have picked up injuries too.

Ok, doesn't look as bad as it first appeared. Romero and Son should be fit for Monday's game at home to Fulham.

And Bentacur back in training
Probably the new year before we see him

He'll be back sooner, probably November some time. Hopefully he'll still be the same player after such a serious injury. He'll definitely be needed when the Africans go missing in January to play some crappy mid-season tournament.

I know some (if not most) of you are not overly interested, but it was good to see our women come from behind to record an emphatic victory to go top of the league. A shaky start to life in the top flight, but it appears they are getting to grips with it now. Our U21 are also top of the league and firing on all cylinders; I've won a nice few bob on them of late. Looks like the club is showing progress all round, long may it continue

COYS!

Still top
Only in third gear
Well thats the title settled

The table does not lie but even as a long term fan, I am unhappy with some of their play. The defence has improved but any team other than Fulham would have scored at least one of the chances they had in the first half while Spurs should have scored at least 5 by half time. Some of the Spurs interplay is top class but they still go to sleep every so often. Kulusevski is head and shoulders their best all round player so I hope he is not top of Levy's list to sell in July. It is sad to see England playing Walker, Kane and Trippier regularly when they could still have been at Spurs. At least they are well rid of Vinicius.

If Charliestown hit goal scoring form
We would be geniune title contenders

England's top scorer, using goals per cap, is Jimmy Greaves. Second is Harry Kane and third is Gary Lineker. Notice the link?

Let's get an Englishman up front, it's in our DNA. Jamie Donley is our only hope, but he's a few years away yet. We need to look closer to home. Any suggestions?

Sonny is great, but you can't have a No 9 who can't head a ball. We need an out-and-out striker, now!

With Bentacur returning soon (replacing Sarr if he can return to his best), we're pretty good all round. A decent striker is the only missing link, anybody else is just cover now.

Kane would be the perfect fit right now Richarlison was a total waste of money.

Yep & Yep

Spurs 1.86 on Friday, it's an absolute gift.
We're in a right 2 & 8 a.t.m. and against Newcastle we were completely outplayed in every position.

I'm not going as I've given my seats to my cousin and his lad who are both Spurs fans. I'll be watching from home

Aspro • October 23, 2023 10:02 PM BST
We're coming for you Slippy

Message I left you on yesterday's match thread

Ah, I've just seen that Aspro.

I'm pessimistic about our chances, a double : 'Spurs win & BTTS No' is around the 9/4 mark depending on where you go. That's a reasonable assessment I would say but obviously I never bet against us but that's what I'm expecting.

As the fella once said, "Expect the very worst and you'll never be disappointed!"

I'm considering a double with Spurs U21, who are flying! Both playing Friday.

Wheel has to fall off sooner or later. I would certainly put us in with a shout of top 4 now, but never gonna win the league, not without a recognised striker; even with one would be tough, but cannot complain at our start. Hodgson is a shrewd manager, one to be wary of.

The lads in training, with Bentancur showing a bit of class

Are YOU  a believer?
DA DA DA
The MONKEYS
yeha!!!

Fair play, looking half decent.
A shame previous so-called top managers never decided to play with the handbrake off.

Still think there is plenty of potential to improve. So many scoring opportunities wasted.

Sancho to Spurs
You are joking
Unless hes going for a whole pound
And that s too much

Time for Richarlison to spend more time sitting on the bench. Johnson deserves to start ahead of him. It's great to see Bentancur fit again after such a long layoff.

Udoggie/Davis both doubtful for chavs match
Dont want Dier anywhere near the pitch!!!

Emerson Royale will probably step in if Udogie is still not available. I'm slightly concerned about this game considering their recent record against Chelsea. Chelsea seem to step it up against the better teams so far this season (Pool, Arse).

We don't want Chelsea to suddenly find some form tomorrow night.

Not so much Chelsea finding form as Spurs losing their form and their heads! I hope the chastening experience will knock some sense into a few of the hot heads in the team. Badly need a calming influence like Dier on the field for the next game.

It's not like we have a choice. Even before the touch-paper was lit, it was clear that something wasn't right, but this could be a good thing, if lessons are learned from it. At this stage it is only a blip and if we can get through a tough Wolves, we may be able to face Villa and City with a little more confidence. Best to stay positive me thinks.

S.it happens and in this case in spades.
Once slight qualm, Klopp's plan when down to 9 men should be a blueprint for every team.
Liverpool were unlucky to lose having played 5 at the back, whereas we played with the same set-up
leaving us hopelessly exposed.

Have we enough points to avoid the drop?
Been serious
Lost 2 important players to injury last nite

FAO Aspro: what I said about your new keeper at the time.

Wesdag • June 23, 2023 3:43 PM BST
I reckon you & I are better than Lloris.

This geezer seems to have a touch of DeGea about him from what I've seen.

Could be a surprise package.

Spot on Wes. Looked a liability from the outset, but if he continues like this, he'll be taking the Italian shirt in no time. I've been very impressed.

Zero chance of a relegation scrap.   VDV and Madisson will be a huge loss so hopefully it's not too serious . Romero, what an idiot. We just can't trust this guy. It'll be interesting to see who lines up in central defence at the weekend..... Dier, Phillips, Royale?

Well that was fun while it lasted. Back to being Spursy..

No shame tbf, you went closer than what Citeh did.

Just 4 now
Only vanilla at home, easy peasy
They dont win away

I think I actually prefer when they're Spursy. At least we know where we stand. Can't handle the periods of false hope because we all know it inevitably leads to failure.

I don't think any of us really had false hope sofa. Even yourself admitted only recently that we're never gonna win the league and nobody else has shown anything to suggest we're world beaters, but the new-look Spurs are definitely worth watching again, of that there is little doubt. I and probably most of us on here will be happy if we're at least challenging for a top four spot, even if that doesn't work out. I do think that's possible, but it won't be easy at all.

Problem is we look a danger to everyone, with the injuries and suspensions we now
look beatable by the Villas and West Hams of the world.

Ange said they'll be bumps along the way. We know that better than anyone. Que Sera Sera

its 2023 and chelsea stil taking the piss at WHL since 1990

Blimey I thought you were dead Atkins, after spending £1000,000,000 in 10th position
in the Prem it's the complete achievement.
Can't see your lot getting into top 4, but we will after taking a dip return to top 4
in the new year, which is more than can say for you.

Seems Spurs facing a potential points deduction because of illegal
player transfer
Hope levy got his lawyers trained

Looks like we got even more injuries
Anyone got their boots ready for Sunday?
p.s Villa are nearly favs despite their poor away form

Terry Venables... Former England manager Terry Venables has died at the age of 80.

spurs need the goals to be at least twice the size to get one on target. They do a lot right but can't shoot to save their lives.

9-1 to beat
Citeh
Tempting

We lost one of our own this weekend...

My closest friend of 50+ years, aged just 61; didn't smoke, didn't drink, worked hard, never sick and as fit as they come. Die hard Spurs supporter, with (at least) 20 Spurs tattoos to boot and probably would have added a few more, God willing. For countless years a season ticket holder. Collapsed and died at home. Makes no sense at all, but still waiting for the autopsy to confirm actual cause. Cardiac arrest suspected. I think he would have appreciated these words on this of all threads. RIP mate, you will be sorely missed.

RIP to your buddy, Aspro.

Condolences Aspro.

COYS.

Cheers guys; I'm still in shock tbh, but I know he'd appreciate your words. If you were Spurs, he would always make time for you, such was his passion.

Yes, condolences, Aspro, and RIP

Awful news Aspro. My thoughts are with all those grieving

Thanks again guys; still waiting for an update.

Might have a chance of beating City if they use Conte/Mourinho-style counter-attacking/park the bus football but zero chance with Ange-ball when he's missing a large chunk of his most important players, including his two central defenders, main playmaker and Bentancour.  Could be an absolute mauling and I'm not looking forward to this at all.

Well the return of Bismouda/Sarr and the Argentina beast
should bolster the team
And then if we nobble Doku and make sure Haaland can only shoot right footed
Would level the playing

Manager needs to make it clear that anyone who makes a daft mistake in the last 5 minutes will be dropped for 3 games. Too many goals shipped after 85 minutes.

Home to Burnley in the cup
aRSE GOT AN EASY TIE

Well earned point

COYS. Trust the process.

14/1 For The FA Cup must be Worth a Few Shekels?

14/1 sounds great but remember our League Cup exit?

Didn't Burnley knock us out at the Lane in 1964? I think I was there, 11yo, was in shock all the way home.

You old fart

The League Cup exit was because he dropped most of our regular starters, which (imo) was stupid considering we had no European games, although I do understand the need to give fringe players a game. Nevertheless, we have won SFA for an age now and we should be taking these cups seriously. If he has learned from that then we certainly have a chance in the FA Cup.
