@NUFCMurph Spurs when we had the likes of bale, modric, berbatov, carrick before that. Kane constantly. Yes it happens you are basically where we were then. Start to compete and people want your big guns. Sadly we are now where you were then 🤦🏼‍♂️

Genuine question, has there ever been another football club who's players are so relentlessly linked with transfers away every single season, even if the window isn't open?

@AVFCCharlie Because they spend something like 96 percent of revenue on wages. To that end the fees paid matter little. They don’t earn enough to sustain their squad.

Net spend of £93m over the last 5 years. How is this even possible anymore. This is genuinely just the FA trying to protect their big 6. Newcastle are suffering the exact same thing. Only reason is to protect their big “sky 6” load of bollocks. You can’t compete anymore

@SpursOfficial Back 3 or 4? Surely 4 but looks a 3.

Tonight's Spurs side ✨

@MisterT0889 @journalism_rp Maybe hazards agent only asked for the unreasonable 5m in order to put UTD off and leave the door open to Chelski. The payments were kept off the books for a reason, in order to give Chelsea an unfair advantage. No plausible other reason to do so if they were legitimate.

@journalism_rp Point stands. The Times reported untied refused to pay hazards agent the £5m needed. Hazard & those players made a significant contribution to the trophies you won.

Yet another article that ignores the fact if the payments were put on the books, they would have been fine. 🤷‍♂️

@TheVillaPolls They obviously felt they had to do this to get the players in with which they won multiple trophies. It’s financial doping that resulted in on field advantage. A sporting punishment should have been issued. Olympic dopers lose their medals. How many clubs should have won trophies

As a Villa fan, the Chelsea decision is baffling. £47m in undisclosed payments linked to transfers → £10.75m fine and a suspended ban. Everton go £19.5m over PSR → immediate points deduction that nearly kills their season. The Premier League says the Chelsea breaches wouldn’t have affected PSR, but the contrast in punishment still looks wildly inconsistent. More proof the Prem bends over for the Big 6 while screwing the rest of us! #AVFC #Corrupt

@SpursOfficial @krakenfx WHAT THE F!!!?

How we line up in Liverpool 👊 🔢 @krakenfx

@AlasdairGold Ali surely he can’t go with a back 3 again. Back 4 Porro, Dragusin, Danso and Spence / Souza. We have to start playing people in their positions. Gallagher Gray and sarr in the middleand Simons up behind Richi and Solanke up top. Attacking full backs bombing on. Might shock em.

Here's my go at predicting today's Spurs team. Not many fit players to choose from but depends whether it's a back three and who plays in the attacking areas. football.london/tottenham-hots…

@HotspurLane Give Kinsky a chance, Vicario is so slow to release that it stifles any play we have it’s why we are always trying to attack solid blocks. Great shot stopper but he ruins the rest of the game

This MUST be the #THFC team tomorrow night! 👀 Scrap the 3/5 at the back. We haven’t got the quality for that. Souza, Tel, and Richarlison all need to start. What are your thoughts on this team and what changes would you make if any? 🤔

@ben_bowman_ Harry Kane 🤣🤣

If Spurs stay up, who should be our captain next season? Assuming Romero & Van De Ven leave

@maxrushden Just make it based on the feet of the individuals. Simplifies, clarifies and I think eveyone would consider that fairer than drawing arbitrary lines in different bits of players arms each week. It’s not hard. Also get rid of clear and obvious and replace with incorrect.

This is why daylight offsise is BAD! Also in open play, defences will just have to defend really deep. i can't believe Arsene Wenger can't see it. well I can believe it.

@laythy29 No just fifa refs disallowing goals and giving penalties all over the show as England crash out.

When Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka start using their set piece antics for England this summer there won’t be a single snide voice saying how ‘bad’ it it would be for football if the Three Lions progress in the tournament by employing such a dastardly heinous tactic…

@StanCollymore My issue with them isn’t the style of play. It’s the blatant cheating at every set peice, it’s the blatant diving, the blatant time wasting. All of these things are against the laws of the game. But my issue isn’t really with Arsenal it’s the PGMOL that allow it but could stop it

I think it's great that Arteta recognised that basic British staples ( corners, free kicks, physicality, defending properly, shape etc etc) were needed ( alongside technique) to feel he had a chance of winning a 38 game marathon. Graham's Arsenal, Wilkinson's Leeds spring to mind with title winning teams. In short, win however you can. But.... Arteta and Arsenal ( documentary) has been shoved down people's throats as a purists "trust the process" narrative which is disingenuous. He basically shed every ounce of his Man City "this is how we play" under Pep to become a pragmatist. Again, nothing wrong with that but it will be criticised legitimately as an "easier" way of winning rather than sticking to a purist's principles. Also there's the entertainment angle. Not of Arsenal season ticket holders who I'm sure couldn't give a fig about style, just "feel the heft" of that trophy. And that's fine, but ALL Premier League clubs rake in huge amounts because it delivers entertainment, that's literally what the League and broadcasters now sell as their main tagline , so rugby at corners again will come under the microscope. Arsenal fans won't think I'm a natural ally, quite the opposite, I think on social media a lot of their discourse (for a club who've never made a dent in the European Cup, a club from the home of football, and its capital) is bizarre and has genuine delusions of grandeur that to me is funny, but I'd back them up 100% to support a team that wins however they can within the rules. Because we all want the same. But here context and nuance isn't present, it's either shit or great so your point has a lot of merit. But there's one final argument I'd propose for everyone who likes Premier League football, to answer. If you spend £1BN on a team and rake in money from a global audience wanting entertainment, is there a responsibility on that team to entertain or not? Me of 30 years ago would have said a firm no, Wimbledon or Liverpool of 1988 had polar opposite styles and that fit hand in glove and I loved it( "The crazy gang has beaten the culture club ") Now? A billion on players and hugging at set pieces and over reliance on corners is a MAJOR part of the game plan ? I'm still 60% "play the fucking way that wins " but there's zero doubt that a paying audience globally ( who allow Arsenal or Liverpool or United to spend a billion) are entitled to say... Entertain us.

@piersmorgan No piers it goes against the laws of the game. Jover should be donating his bonus’s to the PGMOL. Probably already has. Why anyone is applauding this thuggery and turgid football I will never understand.

Never mind a bonus, if we win the League, Jover should get a statue! He’s revolutionised corners as attack weapons, and to those who pompously say it goes against ‘The Beautiful Game’, I think our endless corner goals are radiantly beautiful. 😍

@CBSSportsGolazo @GeoffShreeves You are forgetting European referees won’t tolerate Arsenals questionable tactics. They will be penalised left right and centre. Without that how do they score / defend?

- A surprise side to make a run 👀 - An early upset 😮 @GeoffShreeves gives us his #UCL bracket prediction ⚽️

@SkySportsPL @SkySportsPL you have to hammer this inconsistency. I believe this is a fair goal but how can you distinguish between this and last week? There is more of a push this weekend and Spurs punished yet again. @FA_PGMOL should rightly be accused of bias.

"It's a nightmare start for Tottenham..." Harry Wilson fires home for Fulham! 🔥

@MikeTappTweets Just had to get worse before it got better ey?

6 interest rate falls and now inflation down further; this will make a difference to all of us. We are heading in the right direction!

@pennant83 To be fair they both loved wrank challenge that usually go unpunished by the ref. Let’s call it a draw. 🤷🏼‍♂️

To my debate regarding VVD and JT not 1 single person as stated what JT is better at? All I’m reading is, he’s scored more goals….. won more titles ok great, tell me what JT is better at then VVD? It’s not pace, it’s not 1V1 DEFENDING!…… pleases enlighten me

@RachelReevesMP As I’ve tweeted your clown boss it was 2 percent when you took over. You have driven it up!

Cutting the cost of living is my number one priority, and thanks to the choices we have made we are driving inflation down. Our economic plan is the right one, cutting the cost of living, cutting national debt and creating the conditions for growth.

@Keir_Starmer Great work mate, claiming success that you have managed to get inflation back down to well above your stated target. But still not down to the 2 percent it was when you took over. Your tweet should read “due to the choices I’ve taken we’re still in the shitter”

The choices this Labour government has made means inflation has fallen today to its lowest rate in a year. Lower food and petrol prices are helping ease the pressure on household budgets. I know there’s more to do, cutting the cost of living is my number one priority.

@henrywinter @NickGodwinsport Ange of arrogant

@NickGodwinsport Ange of Cleves.

There’s a Henry XIII/Igor Tudor joke about the many managers of Tottenham Hotspur but I haven’t got it yet - will keep you posted
