Maybe I’m grumpy as sometimes you always think you should be doing something better with your Saturday night.

Frank has to be careful. Spurs fans are brought up on good passing football. We won’t put up for this and him telling us about the percentages of set piece and goals from throw in’s. I genuinely couldn’t watch football like this every week.

Frank started this match far too pragmatically. If you’re not going to start Xavi in the 10 at home to a team with no points I’m not sure when you’re going to do it. Now after 70 minutes it’s a mess.

First 25 minutes was horrible slow ponderous. Last twenty a lot better and with a bit of luck could have a couple of goals. One of Bentancur or Palinha off at the break please.

Bentancur and Palinha centre mid. Fine away from home. Never at home please.

Lovely bit of business for those who had Brennan to score a goal anytime.

Bring in VAR for league cup games to embarrass refs. Ideally this ref.

I may be premature but I just don’t see anything in Tel currently.

That was a Champions League game. Haha

It’s clear that Frank is a very pragmatic coach. He knows what is needed to win this game, and if a grind is required he will do it. Maybe the prettiness will only arrive with when a passer is bought in January.

Lucky boy there Xavi

Desperately need someone to put their foot on the ball in midfield.

Not bad performance so far. We’re very much a work in progress under Frank and creativity/passing patterns will improve as the season goes on. Better game management and less frantic than last season.

Think this ref got a new whistle for his birthday.

The boys putting on a lovely performance for the dearly departed Daniel.

Nice forward pass by Palinha in the build up.

Always rated this ref.

Haha this ref. He hates us for sacking Ange.

An assist from Simons. Or do we say Xavi. I don’t know. Does he know. Who knows.

Tel has done his role as sacrificial lamb in the 1st half. Get Richy on and let’s win this.

At least the corner incidents are giving us something to talk about. Otherwise this is very average.

Australian ref is it. I see what’s going on. Damn you Ange.

Centre forward is the focal point of any team. Tel is not ready for this role.

I went to see Rob Beckett tonight. He was very good.

I like Ange as a man, and will be forever grateful for Bilbao. This move to Forest looks a bad fit for him personally. His style of play is the polar opposite to how they’ve been setup under Nuno. It will be hard to change the style during the season especially with Forest playing midweek fixtures

Tuchel will only be judged by the knock out games in the World Cup, but by then I think we would have all lost interest in watching.

Who do we blame for transfers now?

Got to love Spurs. Been at this kind of stuff ever since I started supporting them in 1982, and probably before then. Get a win against a top level side, the following weekend turn in a stinker against a team we should be beating. #COYS never change.

Now I can watch the YouTube compilations

Is the supercomputer running on Europa League 2024/2025 settings? Someone reboot it.

Two winnable home games so far.

Away to PSG. The Xavi Simons derby….too soon!?

Now I like Zlatan, but what on earth is going on here. What a load of garbage.

Ruben Amorim seems a good manager until the actual matches.

Well deserved from Newcastle. Liverpool have been poor all game.

Kerkez getting found out at the top level. Cannot defend.

Ruben Amorim seems a good manager until the actual matches.

That penalty. Ok fair enough he tossed him to the ground, but immediately behind him De Ligt was tossing a Fulham defender to the ground. #tossingoff

Can we recall Mikey Moore from Rangers? They’re awful. He’s not starting and I’m glad as they’re not a team at all.

Well I thought that was pretty easy. #COYS

TNT Sports is very City heavy in their analysis. You wouldn’t know that we’ve played well so far.

LEVY…buy this manager some more players. We’re onto something here. #COYS

De “see you in Jan” Kulusevski Levy pull your finger out.

Well I’ve slept on it and I suppose the return of Manor Soloman is like a new signing.

Let’s be honest we’re extremely lucky to be in the CL this season. A £100m windfall. The window to do something to take advantage of this is this current one. We have the carrot of CL to dangle in front of signings, but due to the ENIC approach in negotiations this opportunity will be missed.

Time to resurrect this

A timely reminder that we have a squad of very good footballers. Only yesterday the captain signed on for 4 more years. Whilst the Eze news is a kick in the teeth we are only on the look out for one key player to knit our team together. #COYS

Gibbs White I can forgive that cock up, but what on earth has gone on with Eze over the last week. This club. Man alive.

Vicario was giving me real Peter Shilton against Germany 1990 during that shoot-out.

Good pre-season match that. Onto the real stuff on Saturday.
