Tottenham Hotspur

The shrewd football men said all along that Spurs were too good to go down, despite plenty of Yerra-ing from lads on here

The shrewd men were wrong. They weren’t too good to go down, they just weren’t shit enough to go down.

Tottenham got 41 points. Too good to go down. The table never lies.

In the end West Ham on 39 points were just one point short of the magic 40 points and safety. It’s a game of inches, especially in England where they hate the metric system.

As the old adage goes, would you rather be nearly drowned or nearly saved?

They’re in a great spot now. Brilliant manager who is also an asshole, will ditch all the assholes and build around their good young lads.

They’ll be an entertaining watch anyway. De Zerbi is made for the bright lights of London. Without Levy around I don’t even know who there is for him to fall out with

Looks like we’re getting transfer business done early this summer as opposed to the usual scrapping around in late August. I’d say De Zerbi laid down the law on that front when we took on the gig.

Andy Robertson and the Bournemouth centre half Sensini (to presumably replace his Argentinian compatriot Cristian Romero) more or less wrapped up.

I see Romero has magically recovered to make the Argentina World Cup squad. He never seems to miss a game for Argentina and he’s never got red carded for Argentina either.

DeZerbi is a top coach and those are two top acquisitions, one in a playing sense, the other culturally.

Tottenham will win the First Division next year.

Andy Robertson is a sensational signing who will transform the club like Pirlo at Juventus.

Has the legendary Captain Emeritus Mabbutt rung you yet @ChairmanDan?

100 mill Tonali is so stupid

Honest to God, he doesn’t get in ahead of any of Dembele, Eriksen, Wanyama back when Spurs were good.

Dembele was a proper Rolls Royce of a footballer

Only :heart: there. Definitely a guy born in the wrong era. Think he played a good lot of his younger days as a 10 or a striker. Not the same indestructibility obviously but a Van Dijk vibe DM

Do you want a bet on that?

How would you quantify success?

I think this is a bit of a ruse. Two big transfer outlays that will cover the fact that Spurs wages to turnover ratio will still be way below everyone else’s. Levy might be gone but the ownership is still the same

Spurs have a bigger squad than Chelsea now

Apologies
I was behind flippant regarding his past misdemeanours.

Sorry, I’m a small bit autistic on Footix matters, I’d half forgot he did all that. Thank you for your civility at the same time.
