The boy Linacre

Thanks, sadly I was there, unlike Wout who didn't turn up, in our spell where we couldn't defend corners

Last new starter to make his first app at the Tottenham Stadium was Wout in Sept 22, we scored two that day. Forgot the final score???? Anybody help me...... Hope this isn't a repeat for Woyo, bless him. Wout never recovered.

Tell you what if there isn't more than 1 purchase, Top and Rudkin have decided AND sent us down, telling RVN to play with THAT squad/team for the last 16-18 games, I think BEK will be pushed by him mum/agent to stay in the PL with another club and we might even get offered more, he has definitely shone on occasion. He didn't join us to play in Championship. He'll leave along with Mads, probably Winks, and everybody we will try and get shot off, who are expensive.

In May 2005 Malcolm Glazer took ownership of 75% Manure. 5 titles till 2013, 1 European Cup, 1 Europa League, 2 FA & League Cups since Alex went. Owners still mess it up and its upsetting

I hoped we would finish 17th, nothing more. Because its about being in there, and then you TRY and kick on like Forest have, like Brentford have, like Bournemouth have. What I would say is the fans have plenty of mixed opinions, but they probably know 8-9 of the best 11, who should be at the club and who should be let go, again not 100% but maybe 80/85% Why would you make lengthy contractual decisions at a lower quality level (big gap), with players that have failed or found it a struggle at the higher level i.e. Hamza, Vestergaard, even McAteer. That the effects scope for recruitment going forward. Why spend £20m+ on Skipp when he looks to be a direct Winks replacement, so we had a better version for half the price, why bring Edouard in at such a restrictive cost and loan approach, again last minute (panic-keep the money). WHEN it will be 50/50 if you stay up or not, you probably have to get the majority of those decisions right, we haven't, and now we are stuck with those players most likely. Those 5 aren't making us better. Bilal and maybe Ayew to some small extent, are the only transfer successes last summer, thats not helping the manager and the team. Class Abdul as prior to that. Again 2 years ago if Brendan was going in March he goes in the international window at ve latest, not AFTER the 1st game after. When they had 2 winnable games against Bournemouth and Villa @ home, we had the two backroom staff coaches, who butchered it, and we lost both games, that along with the Brentford game day 1, Southampton game next H game and Maddison's penalty miss is what sent us down. Might not even have been Rudkin, Top probably would have made the Rogers decision. But there was an article on DOF's in the Sunday Times yesterday, and it was really good article, he falls into the "Culture and Leadership" DOF. Other 2 were Transfer wheeler dealer & Data guru. It said a DOF is likely to be recruitment centred, ours has been poor for 4-5 seasons now. And safe to say the culture doesn't look great down there if they are on the lash sending Cooper off and we have no leadership, RVN was scattergun after Cooper, it had to be a dog of manager like Moyes or Dyche, not somebody who hasn't been in the cauldron before, we're not building, we're trying to survive this season. The results have dictated that the belief and confidence has gone, and any quality and we have been hit by 2 big lengthy injuries, that we couldn't afford. Your absolutely right we have no divine right to be in the top 8, BUT as EFL Champions and and comfortable title winners and a number of PL level players, I believed/hoped we might finish 17th, and that would have done. We look likely to fail, I said it was 5 years from 23, not it'll be 5 years from 25 to get anywhere close to where we were, and thats mismanagement and bad decision making.

If there are less than 3 signings in Jan, and within a month, they don't get a lot of minutes and we get results like Palace & Fulham. The last 3 months are going to be toxic down the KP

3yrs 9months ago I went to Italy in the European semi final AND we finished 8th that season after already winning an English Football Trophy the Aug before. We have managed to get relegated, get promoted AND be back in the bottom 3 in that time, STUNNING CONTINUAL INEPTITUDE. Only the running of the country has been worst over the last 3-4 years. Maybe Boris or Liz can take over from Rudders???? If Top has given up?

Elon Musk instead of Top

They actually just don’t want us to be there luckily after this week we don’t want to be anywhere where the team steps over the white line

Put that on the Euphemism thread

So he is happy on occasion?? Hanger on, left with the kids and bog roll, and if he continues with his current successful record, thats how many fans will be at the games.

Well Carlo Cudicini at Chelsea Ashley Young became only the third Englishman to win the league title in Italy, the first being Jimmy Greaves in 1962 and Gerry Hitchens in 1963, also for the Nerazzurri. Plus Tomori In the league alone, the 20-year-old Bellingham netted eighteen goals – and becomes just the fifth Englishman to enjoy La Liga success, alongside Laurie Cunningham, Steve McManaman, David Beckham and Kieran Trippier Bellingham won in Germany too Yep France is right

And we can't finish currently. Should maybe have got a point at the Cottage, our trajectories have been in different directions since, don't see us bridging the gap, but god I hope so.

I thought he was pretty poor, felt he was just lazy, but yes he could finish. But we didn't give him a chance or play to his strength's BUT if we go down, we'd be crying out for a player like that, even if he was an impact sub. I'm guessing needs must and money they spunk on wages to Daka, Hamza, Vesty, Ward etc means we need cashflow NOW, missed opportunity for both sides I suggest. Stats do look good from penos mind.

Too late, if we had beaten Palace who did look eminently beatable we would have been only 4 pts behind them, now they're gone. Not so sure about Wolves now but Everton will survive. Unless we have another great escape, this side needs a considerable increase in quality and I can't see it in the next 2 weeks. But I really hope I am wrong, I'm not going to Bristol & Plymouth again on Fridays!!!!!

And not re contract failures i.e. Hamza & Vesty on big wedge for lengthy time, but who showed something at a lower level, but rinsed at the top. And get mugged by Palace in a fire sale for a striker that can't strike on a massive cost to the club. Some anal accountant needs to be there in with him going, No, NO, NO, NO, No........etc. There must be sentiment in those 2 decisions and its just a disaster at the club when they have been so mismanaged since we won the Cup.

And what about the bloke in the City kit?

Great idea, stop buying ANYTHING from the club outside your ticket

A lot of what you say is fair but Wout's lack of a brain is a concern Skipp does offer more protection - and Winks has been poor recently, but is a level above, 50/50 (and I hate Skipp). Vardy probably needs taking out, lacking confidence. Daka is next best VERY LIMITED option, mind out in the Kop. Gives us Winks/Skipp, Mavididi (He's getting on me nerves now Champ flat track bully, well short of it at the top level) and Vardy from the bench Not going down to the KP thinking we'll win, we need new bodies or the ownership have given up too

but not Edouard

Obviously I am not comparing us to Man C but I am, there said it. They are relatively struggling this season and need a rebuild, we are struggling this season and certainly need large scale reinforcements. All you hear is Manc never trade in the Jan window but all the "Yellow" Sky Transfer pundits looks genuinely surprised they are seriously retooling now. Khusanov is pending a medical for £33.5m from Lens, Manchester City will hold further talks with Eintracht Frankfurt today about a deal for striker Omar Marmoush following a verbal deal to sign Eintracht star Marmoush and they a sniffing around a Juventus full back, OH and signed Haaland to 9.5 years. We contracted Vestergaard (after he failed) and Hamza till Set 27, on £60k & £50k. THEY ARE AND WILL GET IT DONE We on the other hand of course are playing at a considerably lower level, but with a much more pressing end game, no doubt needing outs before we can get ins and we have a £3m full back and NO other word. Embarrassing, did they watch Wednesday, I did, and I PAID to go. If Rudkin was there he was paid TO GO. 2 weeks Junior, get yer hand in yer pocket, and don't wait for the 4 league games

Actually thought Southampton were so unlucky, they were so much better. but had Amad in my FPL team, sorry Saints, so well chuffed in the end

At Ally Pally?

Well Mitomas scored

Nope Soton got in early Are United in grey again????
