I think GG's 1989 championship winning team was good to watch. Rocastle on one wing, Brian Marwood on the other. Michael Thomas and Paul Davis were a relatively cultured midfield. Merson up front - some good footballers and a strong defence.



Then you had Perry Groves.....

Don't forget Anders Limpar and Ian Wright. Oh, but then there was John Jensen.


Plus, the longer he's out of the game, the less chance of him being offered a contract.


Football has moved on a lot since 2001 and at 65 he's the wrong age for a club looking for a long term appointment.

Not to mention the fact that he liked a bung. I really can't see the clamour to have him back in the game. Call yourself a Spurs fan.

I disagree with that man management style being obsolete - I think now more than ever you need to rule with an iron fist rather than expect players to motivate themselves at the idea of a 50p win bonus.

Winning in style The Tottenham way? Maybe at one time Jah but not for yonks. Having a soft underbelly is the style I most associate with my beloved Spurs. Most of the players we've had in recent years haven't been fit to wear the shirt. We're playing well at present but the results against Wolves and Stoke worried me, as well as losing at home to 10 man united when we were 1 up. That's been the Tottenham way for quite a while now.
We've been won the title three times in better style than most teams manage in a lifetime from 1998 to now, whilst Tottenham have won precisely no, none, zilch, zip, nada, zero, titles in the same period. A Spuds fan preaching style to the present Arsenal side is laughable.
Despite Arsenal's superior short passing game they can be quite predictable. They lack any real quality on the wings and everything is played in front of the opposing defence. A savvy defence would simply stay compact an invite Arsenal to try to use the flanks as even if they do get crosses in they lack the aerial ability to convert crosses into goals, despite Eduardo's rare headed goal on sunday.
Looks like Beckford might be off to Newcastle for ?3million though. Personally, if we get that much, I'd bite Mike Ashley's hand off. He's worth nowhere near that.


It would seem he's put in a transfer request. Scores a goal against the champs, and starts believing his own hype.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
