Officials do need to clamp down on 'tactical injuries' so a team can either receive tactical advice or have a drink. We saw Pep do it blatantly yesterday. Kerkez today.

The worst part is Spurs are a boring watch. There is no attacking plan. It's set pieces and moments of individual brilliance but collectively? I don't see any patterns to what we are trying to do in the final third. No promising combinations. Simple, safe passes. Everything is risk averse. Rubbish.

It feels like we are constantly stuck between a manager who isn't quite right for us but is dealing with a squad that is either not good enough or not ready to perform week in, week out.

I'm indifferent on Frank but some of these guys are getting the basics wrong. Passing, marking, off the ball..

Alan Smith commentating on yet another Spurs game? Of course.

Right decision, Thomas. COYS.
November 29, 2025 at 7:01 PM
The cheapness of the goals we gave away in the second half hurt but at least we saw some bravery. The forward line looked better but we have to allow these guys to build up relationships. If we go back to Joao & Bentancur at the weekend, RKM and Xavi on the bench, it'll feel like nothing matters.

Surprised Frank hasn't made any changes yet. You don't have to be overrun or even behind to make a sub or two. It's about keeping the energy up and trying to wrestle back momentum. Bergvall and Sarr have struggled. We are losing that midfield battle. Xavi, Kudus? Use them, Thomas. Do something.

Sarr having a nightmare second half.
November 26, 2025 at 9:27 PM
Play the kids. It'll mean we have moments of inconsistencies and rashness but it can also be a lot of fun. To dare is to do and all that jazz.

Give me the fun, Thomas.
November 26, 2025 at 8:54 PM
Just give me a bit of youth and hope.

And on Tottenham.. please produce a performance we can be proud of. I'm not living in the fantasyland of a victory but show us that badge on the front of the shirt means something to you.

It would be nice to see some new faces on live football coverage. It seems to be the same pool of 8-10 people on every broadcast. Surely we can do better than Shearer and Rooney? Or cliché-a-minute Sturridge?

The fact this felt inevitable tells you everything you need to know about modern football. It's never been further from "the people's game" as it is right now.

At least Gary Neville can climb down off his high horse about United now. Shambolic. Haha.

I'm kind of numb to Spurs at this point. It feels like we need 3-4 near perfect windows to get the squad right. The over reliance on Harry & Son set us back so much as there was no succession plan, not even to help ease the burden on them. We just squeezed & squeezed. And now it's a total reset.
November 24, 2025 at 11:31 AM
That second half I don't mind. How much of it was based on Arsenal being 3-0 up, I don't know, I just want to see effort to give me a bit of hope.

Most times, you simply lose to the better side. But what you can't do is roll over and not even put up a fight. That first 45 mins was awful.
November 23, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Next goal decides if Spurs have any fight in them or we get totally battered.

Roll the dice, Thomas The Frank Engine. Roll the damn dice.
