I’m afraid this one has not been answered satisfactorily

My job - my whole life really - is saying things about Spurs, and I have no idea what to say about that.

First time Spurs have been ahead in a home league game for two months.

Have we been so consumed with the politics at Spurs this season that we have let the players off the hook? Has that lack of responsibilty contributed to Spurs' struggles? My mea culpa column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

Igor Tudor getting an incredible fit off here

Fulham v Spurs for me today. Last time Spurs won here was January 2023. They were on the back foot and then Harry Kane scored a brilliant goal out of absolutely nowhere. Feels like a long time ago now.

10 years ago today it felt like Tottenham could win the title. What happened to them? My piece: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

So cool to have a 144-game League Phase and then an eight-team punishment round so that we can get to see... Manchester City play Real Madrid again.

Wednesday!

Igor Tudor jumps aboard… can he repair the ship? www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...

Even if it is only for 12 league games, appointing Igor Tudor as interim manager is the biggest decision Vinai Venkatesham and Johan Lange will take at Tottenham. There is no margin for error. 📝 @jackpittbrooke.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...

The warning signs are flashing loud and clear for Tottenham Hotspur right now. For a long time, removing Thomas Frank as head coach was the risk. Now, with the fans' faith gone and the team sinking fast, the bigger gamble might be to keep him. 📝 @jackpittbrooke.bsky.social

Talking Tottenham on TalkSport and then 5Live in the next few minutes.

Spurs v Newcastle for me tonight. Contrary to (my) expectations, looks like he's gone back to a back four. No Palhinha. Dragusin/VDV c-back pair (for first time since Qarabag September '24). I assume Sarr on the left? Bissouma back for third start of season.

Return of the Dragusin. Piece on the man who, after a year out, could be important in the next few weeks. www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

VAR, huh? A timely pod.

I’m not just a VAR abolitionist but a VAR accelerationist: these farcical moments could be worth celebrating if they turn out to hasten its decline.

Dejan Kulusevski still not brought back into Spurs' CL squad. With no Maddison, Bentancur and no Bissouma recall, they look at bit short in central midfield. Options for the knock-outs are Palhinha, Gallagher, Sarr, Gray plus Bergvall, who is injured. www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...
