I am as upset as anyone for the recent losses, but Frank wasn’t going to replicate Slott of last year. It’s self-defeating to jump to conclusions on Frank this soon. He needs a full year to start to judge. It is also useless to re-litigate last year. The past is done. Too many negative waves! #COYS

I understand changing formations based on opponents. Bergvall & Gray were good against PSG due to the open play. That’s not Fulham. They pack the box, so the same players won’t be as effective. The most creative & technical players should’ve started, i.e. Xavi & Odobert, not Richie & Bergvall.

Thankful for good food, family & Spurs! A delicious meal with cut up & roast marinated the turkey in orange juice, balsamic vinegar, garlic & rosemary. Afterwards, I’m getting humiliated by my kids in Mariocart, so I called timeout for #COYS Apple pie & ice cream. Blessings to all!

A well-reasoned article & hopefully, Frank reads it. #COYS www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...

Hoping for a 0 - 0 draw is NOT very daring. 🙁

Alternative PL table 12 taking into account injuries. I’m more encouraged but the Arse’s drop than Spurs rise. Spurs need to first prove they can get & stay healthy, but Gabriel may be the crack in the proverbial damn. Let it be so. #COYS

Now that SCR is in and PSR is out starting next season, who does it benefit? Note that the 85% threshold in the EPL is already set at 70% by UEFA for those clubs competing in Europe. Spurs are on solid footing. #COYS

I am reading that Ivan Toney wants to come back to the EPL so badly that he is willing to accept a 50% pay cut from his £400+k/wk salary. Plus, due to income tax implications, a loan is preferred. If all is true (& of course, who knows?), then a Toney loan in & Tel loan out could make sense. #COYS

Owww! Bentancur with a nasty challenge sees red against the USMNT. Amazingly US is dominating.

Priorities.

NEVER FORGET: Draft-dodger Donald Trump called fallen soldiers "suckers & losers," and said of war hero John McCain's POW torture "I prefer heroes who don't get caught." #VeteransDay

First snowfall of the season as temperatures here in New Jersey have dropped to the freezing point. Just light flurries blown by strong wind gusts, but I’m not ready for winter.

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally. If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

It looks like Tel will most likely be added to the Champions League squad for PSG. www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...

Some very nice guesses (and data for me to review) I’m chatting with Barnaby Slater, the host of SpurredOn. He started the first Tottenham YouTube fan channel ten years ago and now hosts a daily pod.

It looks like virtually everyone (except Maddison) will be available after the international break. Just in time for the NLD on the 23rd & PSG on the 26th. #COYS

Hey Vinai! Add a few more million to the contract offer & let's get this done! Don't forget the 9 figure release clause either!

U.S. Thread - Four weeks ago our federal government shut down. 730,000 federal employees have been working without pay since that time. Another 670,000 federal workers are furloughed without pay. Mortgages, rent, college loans, car payments…all interrupted. (1)

November fixtures are daunting but the calvary are cresting the hill with the sun rising behind them. Romero back for Chelsea. Solanke, Bissouma, Udogie & Tokai back for United. Deki, Davies & Dragusin for the NLD. 💪 #COYS

Sunderland??? #COYS

pca.st/podcast/bd5e... Episode 10 with Harry Brooks is a must listen! #COYS

Time to scrap the horseshoe & unleashed the trident 🔱 attack. #COYS

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

Here’s something for your morning commute, run or dog walk - my interview with Darren Anderton which is episode 1 of my new podcast. Cameo appearance by @notthatmilo.bsky.social too! pod.fo/e/339f6d

It’s being reported that a ruling on the Manchester City 115 PSR charges will be announced before Halloween. How will they rule? 🤔

CHICAGO IS KNOWN FOR IT'S GREAT" ICE FISHING" PERFECT EXAMPLE

I would like to know the statistics, because it seemed to me that Kudus lost/gave away the ball a lot today, but despite this, like few players can, he was also able to perform moments of brilliance! #COYS

Without a doubt, Spurs need to play better & that will probably encompass some tactics & squad changes. But as a reality check, here were the final standings after the league phase last year.

I have to admit, Spurs lucked out going to Bodo early in the competition. It could have been much worse. 11°C projected match time.

Like @skipjack.bsky.social mentioned (and I referenced on @yaps-podcast.bsky.social) listening to Thomas Frank is refreshing bc it doesn't feel like we're being gaslit. Yes he's biased, but he's super honest in assessing a match afterwards. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B44d...

Is it better to under-utilize Xavi at LW & play Sarr/Bergvall at 10 or to play Xavi at 10 & BJ/RKM/Tel/Odobert at LW thereby placing one of Sarr/Bergvall on the bench??? Hard choice. #COYS

Really honest stuff from Mathys Tel on the painful phone call from Thomas Frank telling him he was out of Spurs' Champions League squad. Great attitude.

A balanced review of Levy’s stewardship. Worth the read. www.thetimes.com/sport/footba...

I am reading a lot of Levy outers celebration of his departure while discounting all the positives he has done. In the end, he left the club with financial stability, a European Cup attained & a strong summer window to give hope for the future. No yeah, buts. Thanks! #COYS

The picture Djed Spence retweeted 😂

www.fourfourtwo.com/features/tho... A really good article on Frank’s journey to the present! #COYS

It seems the Spurs are back to talking with City for Manuel Akanji. He’s right-footed & can play RB, LB, RCB & LCB. His defending stats aren’t eye-popping, but his passing stats are. Looks like good cover for a number of positions. #COYS

Spurs have moved like a tortoise in this transfer window, but it seems they can move surprisingly fast when needed. XAVI-BOMBA! (Lookman next?) #COYS

Grimsby manager David Artell pumping up his squad before today’s match; “Lads, it’s United”. 😂 #COYS

I understand that Spurs want to try and sign the best players, but completing a deal for Savinho, Simons, Rogers or Paqueta carries a high chance of failure. While they may not be the perfect solution, it seems Akliouche and Lookman want to join Spurs. They would complete a damn good window. #COYS

I’m beginning to feel that Levy is an Adrenaline addict. You need that last minute rush to finalize a deal for it to be maximized. Not for the faint of heart. #COYS

Dennis Cirkin is not in Sunderland’s match day squad. Recovering (recovered?) from broken thumb & only 12 months left on his contract, rumors are swirling that he will be sold. Left footed & plays LB & CB. Did I mention also club trained? 🤔 #COYS
