i think a lot of you might be from north america so i suspect maybe not as popular as it is here in the UK.

but for my sins i like tottenham hotspur. we are having a strange season

Gooner here … sorry mate (not in the UK though)

Spurs seem so vulnerable to Kulusevski, Son or Kane going down, and more than that I really don't know how you lot keep scraping comeback wins and so on. Testament to Conte, probably.

I'm happy Arteta's regime at Arsenal has finally clicked into gear with the latest round of signings, the way things are going a lot of big clubs are getting shunted down the table this season.

Got a bit annoyed this weekend as I found myself actually starting to hope we have a chance at the title, which is a mug's game.

Don't get me wrong, you are my mortal enemies, and I wish you eternal suffering on earth and then more in hell, but I would rather you won the title than a Haaland-infused City, and also I'm genuinely kinda pleased that Arteta has worked out for you when it would have been easy to bin him off a year in like so many other clubs might have done.

The one positive for Spurs is that we have more goals coming in from midfield than we once did, which has been a major problem since Eriksen left and means we've been reliant on the Kane+Son telepathic freakshow (which has been growing more inconsistent, and is probably reach its expiry date)

Yeah Kane and Son as a duo their days are numbered, plenty of Arsenal fans I know have been rubbing their hands about that for a while already.

We are the feelgood story of the league this season (maybe even of the whole football world) with the youngest and best side etc, we are gonna get torn apart by aggressive approaches for our starlets in summer, but here's hoping we can survive to convert the current good vibes into something.


I have actually decided to boycott the World Cup, not a huge fan of international football and I have made enough noise about the treatment of migrant workers in Qatar I'd feel like a hypocrite if I did more than check the results now and then. That said, good to see Saka producing for England the other day.
