Odobert has been fantastic since coming on

United down to ten as they’ve made all their subs

Go on Tel lad! No surprise whatsoever that if comes down the left after bringing Udogie and Odobert on

The triangle of Udogie, Odobert and Xavi linked together really well on Tuesday (and has looked good on other occasions). Frank needs to stick with that combination as much as possible. Chopping and changing just isn’t working

Back to earth with a bump after a promising win midweek. Not surprised with that lineup. Taking Udogie and Odobert out means we have nothing on the left. Some disappointing performances, most notably Richy who has been dreadful. United have had to do next to nothing to be winning this game

Richarlison is so far below the required level at the moment it’s unreal

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Not a fan of early kick offs. Don’t you spoil my weekend Spurs

This investigation by @skynewsrss.bsky.social, using an LLM to show how X's algorithm pushes right-wing posts on its users, is an excellent piece of data journalism. Particularly impressed by how they've visualised the data to make it easier to understand news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

My favourite bakery has increased the price of my favourite cookies (and, judging by sales, the town's favourite too) by a whopping 47% per pack overnight, causing to me to wonder how much is too much to charge? The answer, given that I bought another pack, is apparently not this much

The comparison with Son is obvious (and uncanny) but for me the dominant physicality displayed by Micky tonight was reminiscent of Bale at his peak. A player on another level in terms of pace and power and he knows it

We all deserved that COYS

Give it to Dane!

My heart is thumping

He’s a bloody centre back!

OH MY F*ING GOD MICKY’S DONE A SONNY!!! GIVE HIM THE PUSKAS AWARD NOW

It’s a silly challenge but it’s not a red card. Ffs

Also, I’ve been really critical of Bentancur this season but he’s picked up in recent weeks and has been very good so far tonight

Kolo Miami has missed a couple of sitters, yes, but I’m still pretty positive about him overall. Thought he’d been good up to that point and I’m more worried about strikers who don’t get into those positions

Xavi Simons with his best half in a Spurs shirt by a distance. He should be going in with a hat-trick of assists

That’s more like it lads. Exactly what can happen when you move the ball forward with pace and purpose. Been a much more positive approach so far.

My first thought was 'How does this fit into the narrative spun by Matt Goodwin and co'? And then I realised I was only thinking that because of this chap's name. So in a way, their rot has already set in, even within myself.

Mind-boggling to hear Wolves are in talks to reappoint Gary O'Neill. The guy had completely lost control of his players less than a year ago. They were fighting each other on the pitch!

One of the worst home London derby performances in the last 20 or so years. 0.05xg, and that seems generous Frankly disgraceful, Thomas

Frank better hope no one clips up that shot of him clapping after one of the most pathetic set-piece routines in football history

There are genuinely teams far down the football pyramid that would give Chelsea a much better game than us. We’ve been pathetic

Every time Chelsea shoot and it goes out for a goal kick by the time the replay has finished they have the ball back

How do you watch that and make no subs at half-time?!

For a home London derby that was unforgivably crap. A fairly average Chelsea side have been better in every area, including how much they want the ball. We are *painful* to watch. No one in white looks like they have the first clue what to do with the ball, other than hump it up the pitch and hope

This is as bad as we’ve been all season, and that’s saying something. The players don’t look like they have the first clue how to progress the ball. It’s absolutely insipid

Petition to rename Murphy’s Law to Tottenham’s Law

Frank and the team need a home win. No better time than now

That guy is never going to have a haircut again

This is probably the fixture I hate most in all of football and that starting XI hasn’t made me feel much better. Still… COYS

Even if you have no interest in computer games I urge you to listen to the soundtrack for Absolum. It is frankly astonishing that an indie game is accompanied by music of such quality. If it were for a blockbuster movie or hundred million dollar series it would be getting global recognition

I’m off for half-term and, as well as spending time with the kids, I’ve also been transferring both my dad’s and my own stories from boxes in my loft to display books, so they’re easier to access. All in all it’s about half a century of local journalism

Journalists can often be victims of their pre-conceived ideas (see the Times/De Blasio fiasco). One of the ways we've avoided that is by working closely with experts. Check out this piece by my colleague @lucybrisbane.bsky.social on how we did it in our recent employment tribunals investigation.

He’s clearly not shown anywhere near his best in a Spurs shirt so far but you absolutely cannot fault Xavi’s work rate

I’ll say it now rather than after the fact - Saturdays game is more important than this one, especially given our injury situation
