***The Spurs Files 3***

Chelsea must be laughing their a***s off that their bitter rivals came to the rescue. They probably thought it would be almost impossible to get rid of those two bums.

What do you think of the transfers made?
Got rid of some dross apart from
Charliestown

I feel it was uninspiring
Spurs dont have a proper selection process even though they have only 2 sporting directors!!!

If by the end of November they havent made progress up the Table
Desrvebe is DEAD

Guessing we wont see Richarlison wearing the shirt again..

Mykhailo Mudryk.

Maybe he's a great guy, Maybe Chelsea are paying the vast majority of his wages... Who knows

Richarlison heading to Trabzonspor apparently. Bit of a scattergun approach to the transfer window and still short in some areas (striker, right back etc).

Have faith and fill up on the 11/4 top 6 lads, when all the new signings bed in it will click for you lot.

Ain't touching top 6 at those odds. Is it too much to expect them to score a goal and maybe even win a game of football? Nottingham Forest away up next.

For your collective delectation re the Transfer Window signings
and how they are perceived without the rose tinted glasses on
Proof of the pudding will be in the eating
We await with bated breath

I'd fully expect 0 at forest.. but 3 points would mean the worm has turned and top 6 @ 11/4 looks very nice...

It's 12.4/4 on the exchange. I wouldn't back them to finish top half a that price.

lurka,

You were similar on United last year, the new signings on their own will put them right there just like it did for United last year even with a shocking start and managerial change there was still plenty of time left, the two losses and potentially another tough game against Forest are reinforcing the Spursyness but there is plenty of time for the players to bed in and the quality to begin to take effect.

Spurs are 1.62 top half finish, they should be about 1.2 IMO

On the Exchange...

8/1	Top 4
9/2	Top 5
3/1	Top 6

Currently not tempted, tbh.

Fill yer boots, it's coming to something when you've got to rely on a United fan to add a bit of positivity to you lot.

Shocking start? Losing 0-1 at home to Arsenal while playing pretty well and 2 points off top 6 after 2 games. They fired their manager when they were in the top 6 too, which is highly unusual.

I don't get where the faith comes from. United added 3 goalscorers and scored 25 more goals and didn't lose anyone important. I don't see where the extra goals are coming from for Spurs and not sure they'll be better at the back either. Maybe wait until they play well and score.

Pool and Newc are also playing more winnable games before Forest v Spurs too so likely the price will be better before they play again.

Price changes after two three or four games are always out of sync with what the actual price should really be, Pool and Newc playing and perhaps winning affecting the price is akin to the lead changing after the first fence in the National and someone over-reacting at that point.

Villa didn't score a goal for five games last season never mind win, Liverpool won their first five.

The stigma attached to Spurs is overly affecting the price and the money they spent is exaggerating it.

I'd be quite happy for Spurs to get turned over at Forest and then be able to get some 4/1-9/2 top 6.

Point GAINED
Only another 34 needed

Still no shots on target after three games. Great start to the new era.

RDZ's  preoccupation with Tel and to some extent Bergvall and Gray(ironically survivors from last disasterous season)
will unless he lerns quickly will cost him his job.
I can't remeber who sanctioned the £30,000,000 price after a try out, whoever it was needs his cataracts removed.
We needed a number ten, we had one on the bench but he wasn't selected.
Social media was united in condemming Tel, funny how the fans can see it yet the manager can't.
Everton look winnable but we'll see if the manager has a death wish.

Tel i suspect is a morning glory
But cant replay it in an actual match
Probably Deservee needs to reconsider

That's an incredible stat.

I wasn't great at statistics in school, but is there a link between no shots on target and no goals scored.

Lol.
I was thinking you can't be THAT terrible.
Must've meant GOALS.

22 Aug 2026: Away vs Brentford (lost 0-3) — 9 shots, 4 on target.
29 Aug 2026: Home vs Newcastle (lost 0-2) — 17 shots, 6 on target.
5 Sep 2026: Away vs Nottingham Forest (drew 0-0) — 12 shots, 0 on target.

Pretty sure those stats are totally unrelated...

Still hovering around 3/1 top 6

Ok, I made an error posting that stat. Meant goals scored. Must beat Everton at the weekend or things will start to get ugly real quick. DeZerbi has had a full pre-season with most of these players but you'd never guess by the lack of cohesion we're seeing on the pitch. That point earned at the weekend end take them off the bottom of the table and should give everyone involved a huge lift.

A win would lift us up the table and be a nice confidence boost for the lads, heaven only knows where the goals are going to come from though; January could be busy. 1 ray of sunshine was the clean sheet at Forest. Villa, Utd, Coventry and Chelsea on the horizon, who are also the final four games of the season. Don't worry Coventry... Dr Tottenham will soon be coming to the rescue.

always hope with pickford in goal, ask sesko

Mudryk out for 2 months
Thats what you get with a drug fuelled Chav player!!!

You didnt have to be Einstein to realize he was a
BAD EGG

and talking of EGGS
Charliestown is leaving a bad smell

Dejan maybe getting near the pitch

Mudryk out for 2 months!.. This is almost the punch line of a Chelsea joke!

At least a month of that will be the international break.

That's a relief sofa!.. I think.

No big loss from what we've seen so far.

3 points incoming Saturday.. Just feel it in my bones..

Yes, I'm fully expecting a swashbuckling performance and a resounding victory.

Shame they didn't buy Richarlison, I'd feel a lot more confident.

Hopefully they can manage to score a goal today or is that too much to ask for. . If Tel starts then I officially give up.

Do you regret staying up?

West Ham fans seem happier than they've been in a few years.

I heard the fA are considering retiring 17th place if
Spurs do the TREBLE this
SEASON

Never.

The Spurs stadium is going to be a very tough place for the visitors to win at this year.

Yes, the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to prove very hard to beat there this season

Out of the relegation zone and yet another clean sheet. Today was a good day.

De Zerbi on Richarlison..

“What I have done at the beginning of this season has been to speak with him and to propose an extension of the contract. If he said, ‘no thank you,’ I finished my job.

“I said last press conference. The relationship between the player and the club is the problem..

“I stay within the club. It’s coach and club together. At the start of this season I spoke to him many times to convince him to stay and he didn’t want to. I can’t go every day to pray for him to stay.”

Back to normal tonight

Oh yeah... well spotted sofa..

The Spuds would struggle to win a coin toss with a double headed coin

Still,you only slaughtered £350 M

The Spursy mindset is something that can only ever be shifted with the kind of investment that happened at Man City.

However, that loophole of parachuting bucket loads of cash has been closed.

It's all about mindset imo. Players go there already knowing expectations are low & can just coast along to pick up their salary.

They know all they need to do is avoid the drop.

Gallagher scores midweek and today; there's a lesson there somewhere.

Two goals scored to get that monkey off our back. Something to build on I guess.

The goals are starting to flow. Next step is to actually win a league game and next chance to do is is like a month away. Baby steps.

It transpires we have had trouble with the right back position all season with poor young Archie having to spend his playing minutes there. And a lot of them as well

If only we had another decent right back who could also fill in at left back if necessary. You know someone who was good enough to play for England at the World Cup

Oh wait......

What a pile of dross running our football club

It sickens me

young archiew gray on hi 4th spuds manager arranging his testimonial and looking longingly at leeds progress

You know someone who was good enough to play for England at the World Cup

Considered toxic to the squad.. Fair enough.

FECKING LAST

Stone bonking bottom after slaughtering £350M

Take a pill UTI

Still ahead of West Am though.

some respite, man utd away next

The clash of the clueless,1st timer

Congratulations uti, on being voted Biggest forum pest.. on the Horse Racing forum..

Thanks,Emptyhead.
The Spuds remain the strongest team in the P/L as they support all those above them

when your initials are the same as an infection, it kind of fits that he would infect these forums

Stone bonking bottom is enough for me

BTW,can we sell you anymore duds?

Dont worry uti If you had anyone decent, we'd already have him...

You're welcome to all the Spurs deadwood you've currently got.

Sold you's a Jonah for £85M.

I can't see De Zerbi lasting too much longer. He will lose the head or the dressing room or both. Might be a good thing but the squad is woeful and the lack of new manager bounce x 3 last season is telling.

UTI mentions Tottenham Hotspur more frequently than West Ham United (62:38 ratio) in forum posts referencing either club according to my AI chatbot. This emphasis aligns with apparent ongoing seething resentment regarding Spurs beating West Am in last season's relegation scrap. It definitely confirms my suspicion that he's absolutely obsessed with the mighty Spurs.

Relegation is over 8/1 in here .. that's value! At this point its hard to see us winning many games

We've been broken down
To the lowest turn
And been on the bottom line
Sure ain't no fun
But if we should be evicted from our homes
We'll just move somewhere else
And still carry on

Hold on, hold on, hold on
Oh Baby
Hold on, hold on

The only way is up, baby
For you and me now, baby
The only way is up
For you and me now


Or the other way is down

Looks grim alright. DeZerbi starting to throw his own players under the bus is a warning sign. This will all blow up for sure by Halloween and we'll be back to square one. He is largely responsible for this mess though....not buying a striker, playing players out of position (Fernandez etc).

they say/stats how if your in btm 3  in middle  of nov ,your in a relegation battle to the end of the season unless you show top 4 form  na decent period of time, sky pundit and JAY BOOTH both ntippedv them to be still challenging for neurope by end of the season, villa,everton ,n,castle at home and  brentford/forest away , not exactly THE FIXTURE,s  OF RELEGATION DEATH,could have had far worse openning 5 games

I'm definitely not calling for the manager's head. I'm still somewhat hopeful that he can turn this mess around. And no more pointless pre-season tours to Australia and NZ please.

their the tours the help finance £400 mill of spending on players

Net spend was £175m. Doubt a tour to Australia and NZ adds a significant amount to the coffers. It ruined a proper pre-seaeon.

Citeh case
Arse Spurs Manu and Pool have lodged a claim
for potential LOSSES

Spurs finished 5th three times when Citeh
finished above them
CL losses for NOT been in the competition
would be at least £50 m a year
Did someone tip Spurs off re the guilty verdict?
and splashed the early munie this season

Problems over... Pity Coventry.

Just noticed Berg/Savio/Porro out
For Munday
But Dejan on the bench-FINALLY

Spurs are BACK. The next game is obviously a write-off but there's a run of winnable games after Chelsea. What's with all the injuries though?

Not sure if it's me but Kudus after 30 minutes seemed very tired / laboured / lazy...

First 30 looked Superb!

Panic over.... Paid!

FFS! Wrong Fred.

Starting XI: Kinsky, Robertson, van Hecke, Maddison, Tel, Gray, Tonali, M. Fernandes, Kudus, Marmoush, van de Ven (c).

Substitutes: Dubravka, Senesi, Gallagher, Solanke, Kulusevski, Pedro Porro, Davies, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett.

Absolutely not feeling optimistic about this at all.

I'm backing Spurs here.. Love doubling up on the potential pain. COYS!

Chelsea price is way bigger (close to evens, wtf) than I expected. I would not be backing Spurs at such skinny odds here. I hope I'm proven to be completely  wrong though.

No Pedro! I can see this being a high scoring game and you never know, we might just nick it...

One day things will start to even out with this mob...

Good call Emit. COYS.

Spurs well ahead of Man Utd now! Next 4 games are winnable if they retain their discipline.

Spurs are beginning to show an ability you don't see too much of, namely being able to receive and move the ball successfully whilst in tight spots under pressure, you are on the up and up now, those summer signings were good ones and they are now beginning to have an effect.

The manager finally playing Fernandez in his preferred position definitely helps. Madisson makes a big difference but keeping him match fit seems impossible. The defence is looking pretty solid and hopefully Tel gets a confidence boost from that performance.
