I notice Bryan Gil is up for sale not a loan. feckin right
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The fecking Weetabix Man.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Worst Spurs signing in the past 20 years
----------------------------------------------------------------------

no chance.
not even the worst signing in the current squad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pound for pound (no pun intended) Ndombele is obviously the worst signing in our history. Record signing (still) and biggest flop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strong disagree. Spurs got a decent season out of Ndombele, 91 total games and 10 goals. Nowhere near what was hoped obviously, and he's still near the bottom of the pile for sure, but Gil has fewer than half the games (41) and precisely zero goals. Certainly nothing close to a decent season.

Obviously the focus is on Ndombele because of the price tag, but FFS, Gil cost £20m plus Lamela before going back to Sevilla on loan the year after.

I really don't get why Gil gets such an easy ride. He's been an absolute facking disaster. He's cost a fortune, barely played and when he has featured he's produced literally nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Wait what? 91 appearances and 10 goals? No chance Ndombele played 91 times for Spurs.

He was here for three seasons before he started this series of loans, played 63 times got 6 goals and 5 assists, cost £53m on extortionate wages and has been a complete waste of facking space and time. We’ve had some reasonably big priced flops over the years but at least the others I can think of flopped while trying, Ndombele hasn’t even done that. You will never convince me this guy hasn’t been our worst ever signing, there is no case for the defence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I mean

The stats are straight off Transfermarkt, and I literally just did make the case for the defence

But sure, let's exaggerate for dramatic effect
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of sources I’ve looked at state 63 games. 91 seems like a lot. Don’t think he played a minute under Poch did he, because of being injured when he arrived? Jose used him, but he was on out here 18 months and Conte didn’t fancy him. I’d be amazed if he played 91 games but even if he did, he’s been a waste of time and space nonetheless.

I used to offer some mitigation for the guy; he was young and coming to a new country, the coach he signed for got sacked straight away and we brought in managers that played a style that didn’t really suit his game. But it’s coming up on 5 years now, you cross reference the fee with the wages with the expectation with the actual return and it’s been an unmitigated disaster. The thing with Gil is, he’s not all that. Ndombele actually has a lot of ability which makes his situation even worse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats some memory you have, played under Poch and scored the equaliser against Villa.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah that’s right, on his debut, can visualise the goal now. I have a recollection that Poch didn’t really get to utilise his new signings before getting sacked, was probably GLC & Sess that were hardly available.

WLB saying we are talking to Nusa along with utd.

Would give my left nut for us to win the FA Cup, happily finish 6/7th as a trade off. Would also love to win the Europa League and I think that’s more winnable than the FAC. Generally (I know Liverpool are in it this season) you don’t have to play Europes elite to win the Europa, just clubs on your own level whereas you’ll inevitably need to beat Liverpool or City to win the FA Cup.

6th/7th isn’t good enough, 5th minimum.

surely you found it tedious watching us on thursdays struggle through a group game against a made up team with a rotated disjointed side

when we were consistently in CL under Poch we flopped n all except somehow making the final

if we dont finish 5th now at worst now it will be extremely disappointing

get through man city game into the next round then can think bout FA cup, hardest possible game even if we are their bogey side

6th and the FA Cup would be absolutely fine, we haven’t won a trophy for 16 years and haven’t won the FA Cup for 33 years, stop setting unreasonable targets just because you’re having a prolonged hissy fit about the managerial appointment.

No, actually, besides they are the types of games you can actually get tickets to!

Qualifying for Europe should mot be an unreasonable target.

You either trust in this manager or you don’t.

I don’t think the bogey side thing will be a thing under Ange, his style isn’t kryptonite to them the way it was under Conte & Jose. Even latterly under Poch results were made from Son running through at them while they were squeezed up, and us defending for our lives (thinking of the CL QF). Kane and Son always had City on toast but we will have neither for this game. Thankfully at least they’ll have no Haaland and apparently KDB is unlikely to start.

6th or 7th would get you Europe. I’d take Europa over CL in exchange for an FA Cup win all day. I do trust the manager, I’m just not setting an unreasonably high bar in his first season so I can call him out as a failure at the end if we don’t make it.

Raducanu and Boulter both out of the Aus Open.
Such a strange match for Emma.
Very strong wind in the first set (on one point the ball blew back over the net), and Emma couldn't find her length at all.
Then played superbly in the 2nd to level it up.
Start of the 3rd set she got sick, had to call the trainer. For several game she was wanting to throw up. Went down a break.
Missed several break points, but got through the sickness.
Other server serving it out at 5-4, and Emma was 0-15 up and could have easily won 3 more points but lost them all.

She mostly looked really good.
This Wang played very good tennis.
Emma played a lot of really good stuff.
It was high quality once the wind dropped.
There's a lot more to come from Emma but sadly just not in this tournament.

did you have a good w@nk though

that was a joke
