‘What’s the f***in’ point?’ – Five players for Spurs to build around

Spurs have had quite a season. It had its moments, but it has ended in ruins. A rebuild is inevitable and necessary and is unlikely to be easy. But they can’t just bin off everyone, tempting as that may be. There are just about five members of the squad worth sticking with. One of the […]

Ten players Spurs might wildly spaff their Kane windfall on

So you might have heard that Harry Kane wants to leave Spurs. A wise decision. But it’s not quite as simple as that, because Kane was a dafty and signed a big fat contract extension in 2018 and that means that if he does get his wish and escape trophyless banter purgatory at Spurs, someone […]

Spurs greet fans with a slap in the face and a kick in the teeth

Tottenham welcomed fans back and forced them to watch a defeat from the upper-tier while they booed at half-time and full-time. Amazing.   Daniel Levy might believe that Tottenham have “lost sight” of “what’s truly in our DNA” but being vociferously booed off at half-time in the first game with more than a couple of […]

Early loser: Leicester City and history repeating

It’s all relative and in the grand scheme it’s clearly thoroughly stupid to call Leicester losers just days after they won the FA Cup for the first time in their history.

Early winner: Graham Potter and a perfectly timed slice of Potterball

There are plenty of caveats to apply to Brighton’s frenetic and joyous 3-2 win over newly-crowned champions Manchester City. The fact City were already confirmed as champions, for one thing. The fact Joao Cancelo was sent off in the early stages is another. The fact that Brighton were able to play with the carefree abandon […]

Toothless Timo typifies this charged and changed Chelsea

Chelsea fans have a hero in Timo Werner…just not a goalscoring hero. Three weeks after Chelsea gave themselves a chance of being the ‘despite’ European champions and just three days after they missed the opportunity to become the ‘despite’ FA Cup winners, the Blues put themselves in pole position to qualify for the Champions League […]

Of course Kane wants out – who wouldn’t? – but he trapped himself

There is a very simple way for Harry Kane to get the quick, pain-free exit from Spurs to a better Premier League club that he quite understandably now desires. All he has to do is hop in a time machine and travel back to 2018 when he signed a six-year contract for Daniel Actual Levy. […]

Fulham really should have been so much better

When Fulham manager Scott Parker cried tears upon the full-time whistle at Wembley Stadium last August having guided the club back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, questions were already being asked of the former England midfielder’s abilities to make the most of this Premier League season.
