"it is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory" Danny Blanchflower. (Wrongly attributed to Bill Nicholson, even by the club)

@stanic10 @Nick__ESC @DaleJohnsonBBC This happens now but not to that extreme. I don’t think suspensions prevent anything.

@Nick__ESC @Tottenhambits @DaleJohnsonBBC No, because you could get ten outfield players plus subs doing this and getting yellows, sub some of them to get yellows too. That’s not real punishment if managed right towards the end of the game, then they could do it every game. I didn’t mention getting red cards

JUST IN BBC Sport can reveal that Fifa is set to change the rules around suspensions for accumulated yellow cards at the World Cup. A second amnesty stage will see all yellow cards wiped: 1⃣ After the group stage AND 2⃣ After the quarter-finals. 👇 bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@L9Xperience @BROKENBRITAIN0 And what do you do with the British communities that have been born and raised there.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 Native Argentina people have occupied those islands for 20,000 years. Give them back to the rightful owner

🚨WATCH: Argentina’s president, Javier Milel, says that the falklands islands “illegally occupied” by the UK 🇬🇧 🇦🇷 “The Malvinas Islands, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands, and the surrounding maritime spaces, illegally occupied by the United Kingdom since 1833.”

@Felon82 Almost relegated? Please explain? We were never in danger.

We were almost relegated under this buffoon who started this whole its ok to lose mentality. As bad as this season has been we're 4 points off the total he achieved last year. Fat fucking bellend

@Paul_Newman66 @kvlmason Who are they to tell him or anyone else what stance he should take. More left sided dictators. Its up to him if he wants to give someone a 2nd chance.

De Zerbi ‘didn’t mean to take a stance’ over Greenwood. That’s precisely the problem. You should, Roberto. Spot on from @kvlmason nytimes.com/athletic/71752…

@SpursTalkShow Who are they to tell him or anyone else what stance he should take. More left sided dictators. Its up to him if he wants to give someone a 2nd chance.

The Athletic has become so woke. Liberal bias infecting every article they write. Demanding everyone conform to their viewpoints. Just because you were offended, it doesn’t mean they were offensive.

@fandompulse Theres one in jackie brown

Quentin Tarantino explains why he does not include nudity or sex scenes in his films: "Sex isn’t part of my vision of cinema. And the truth is, in real life, shooting sex scenes is a pain—everyone gets really tense. And if it was a bit of a hassle to do before, it’s even more so now. If a sex scene had ever come up that was essential to the story, I would have done it, but so far it hasn’t been necessary." Is there a need for sex scenes in films and TV?

@TheSpursChap @hamtwissle @DaleJohnsonBBC I think the irony is they think it makes them a better person. But whos the judgemental ones here. And who has simply given someone a 2nd chance.

@hamtwissle @Tottenhambits @DaleJohnsonBBC But we do know that RDZ had the choice as to whether or not to sign him. Some of the stuff I’ve seen over the last few days has been ridiculous but I think it’s perfectly fair for fans not to want him based on that situation

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust held an emergency board meeting on Monday night over the appointment of Roberto de Zerbi. BBC Sport can reveal it has told the club it cannot support the appointment due to comments about Mason Greenwood. #COYS 👇 bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@SebOnFootball Doesn’t have to be free flowing finished article stuff. it just needs to be on the way to that. I don’t know what experience u have but after one good session u can implement ideas. two sessions u can have a new team playing the way u want. And it wont be totally alien to them.

People saying De Zerbi keeps us up because he’s the best manager tactically etc - you think in two weeks time we’ll be playing free flowing attacking football? He’s barely got any time to get the players playing how he wants them to. We also don’t have a squad ready for his style. Our midfield cannot do it. That’s why people are focusing on character. If De Zerbi comes in and explodes, as he has done at every other club he’s ever managed, it will be a complete disaster. He doesn’t even want the job, we’re literally throwing millions and millions at him to beg him to take it. So how much fight you think he really has?

@DiscussingFilm Another dictator from the left. Who’s “we”. You speak for yourself.

Andrew Garfield says he recently saw the ‘HARRY POTTER’ films for the first time but added that “we shouldn’t be putting money in the pocket of inhumane legislation right now through she that shall remain nameless.” “But the soul and the spirit of a lot of the essence of the themes of those films, and the kids are so good.” (Source: youtu.be/YtDD9nUvicA?si…)

@SamWallaceTel Just on this season (Ignoring past errors coming home to roost) he appointed Frank. Frank is the reason we are where we are.

The new Tottenham Hotspur regime cannot blame relegation - if it happens - on Daniel Levy. This one would be on the Lewis family telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@JontyEvans Franks decision

One of the biggest mistakes the club made this season was putting Vuskovic out on loan again. I watched him in pre-season vs Reading. He scored a goal like a striker and looked comfortable as a defender. Now we risk losing him before he even kicks a ball for us in league 🤦🏻‍♂️

@DvW105 @BrettMendoza_ Was a half 7 kick off mate

@BrettMendoza_ Another issue with kick offs after 8pm They’ll never play large amounts of Injury time because of transport issues.

Tonights game had 3 minutes of injury time first half, 7 minutes second half. The ball was in play for a total of 52 minutes and 32 seconds of the 100 minutes played #BHAARS

@footycorner_tv @nev18222542 @EPLBible So as soon as he picked up the ball then

@nev18222542 @EPLBible Isn’t obstructing

The 8 second rule doesn't apply to David Raya apparently. 🤭

@HLTCO Your right but also its bad for football when u take a wider look at it. if this is a blueprint to win the league then entertainment value. sporting behaviour and spirit of the game have gone out the window. The influence it can have could be long lasting. Hopefully not.

You don’t have to like the way Arsenal play, it may not be what you as a neutral want but after 22 years without a title, Arsenal have a 7 point lead. They’ve played beautiful football previously, failed to win things and been laughed at for lacking bottle. It’s about winning.

@TouchlineX @martynziegler Why cant referees just double check every big decision on the screen immediately. Pens, red cards & subjective offsides. Its quicker. Get rid of video assistant in current format. Only job would be to alert ref of in or out the box calls and off the ball incidents. Sorted.

🚨 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: The English FA wants to trial a new coach's challenge for subjective VAR decisions. The idea is that coaches would be able to have two unsuccessful challenges per game for fouls or handballs. — @martynziegler

@JackPittBrooke “destroyed the officials' capacity to think” thats a guess. No evidence for it. They were bad before var. its just exposed them. The fact hes watched it sees it twice and gets it wrong makes it about the official and not the tech.

People will say 'it's not the technology it's the people using it', but the point is that the technology has destroyed the officials' capacity to think, has destroyed the laws, and is fast destroying the game. Full abolition now!

@TheTotallyShow The same is true of goalscoring. Alan shearers has 20 odd more goals than the 260 prem record.

Sorry James Milner, your record isn't 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 special 😶

@juliamacfarlane When people have heated debates they talk over each other. Women to women men to men and men to women and women to men. Sex is not relevant. Only poor debating skills of the individuals

Deeply depressing that a woman can be Leader of the Opposition and yet still needs to call out two men for constantly talking over her on national TV in order to be given a chance to speak
