For the first time, I'm starting to believe the 'Arsenal actually want it *too* much' line of thinking. The loss to Man Utd was, for me, squarely on Mikel Arteta. The players didn't cover themselves in glory, but they were in his image for the worse. www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

Daniel Levy from 2001 to 2017 was, for me unquestionably, one of the best chairmen in football. Ran Spurs exactly the way a football club of that size ought to have been. 2018 to present a different story and it’s, belatedly, the right time for change. Foundations are all there.

Interesting interview with Xavi Simons where he admits part of Thomas Frank's pitch was effectively telling him what his weaknesses were and how they could work to improve his game. "I heard different things from him than I've heard from other coaches." www.ad.nl/voetbal/xavi...

Hello again Bluesky Nation

Amazing scenes in London as Tottenham fans have stormed their pitch 🤍 📸: @seandzwalsh.bsky.social

I've had the pleasure of watching Harry Kane's entire career to this point up close, and the journey has been special. Nobody remembers a player's trophy count after the tally reaches one. Now, Kane is free to build his legacy without caveat. Long read on a legend: www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

Good day to you, BlueSky

IMO, the best atmospheres at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: 5) vs Man City, April 2019 4) vs Man Utd, August 2023 3) vs Bodo/Glimt, May 2025 2) vs Ajax, April 2019 1) vs Arsenal, May 2022

Ange arriving for the presser

Before Tottenham’s do-or-die Europa League clash and potentially Ange-ball’s last ride, I looked at whether or not they should’ve just gone for the obvious managerial choice two years ago rather than overthinking it. www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...
