Match Newcastle Away 1.30pm Sunday Sept 1

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Well, it’s simply inflationary. If the TV companies didn’t charge so much the clubs wouldn’t get so much money and the players wouldn’t be demanding ridiculous sums of money to play. And we’d still see the same football we do now, but we’d be paying sensible money, not extortionate rates.
No. The players (Son, Romero, VDV, etc.) wouldn't be here. They'd be playing for clubs in Europe who, would pay them more. Clubs who play their games when the TV companies, dictate when they play.
 
An ugly young man from Alella
Had a nest on his head, Cucurella.
I may be a winger
But I’m definitely a minger
And I look like a little cave dweller.
I asked Gpt to write one:

Marc Cucurella, what a sight to see,
A bird's nest on his head, tangled and free.
With a face like a Picasso gone wrong,
He’s the punchline to every rival's song.

They pull his hair, and what does he do?
Grins like a fool, enjoying the view.
A twisted thrill when others attack,
Like he’s begging them to yank him back.

Ugly as sin, with hair like a mop,
He’s the joke of the league, and it won’t stop.
So here’s to Cucurella, with that wild, messy mane,
The rival's joy, and his own weird pain.



It's... it's like it knows us. Freaky.
 
7-1 in mid 90s was embarrassing. Couldnt believe that when i saw that score. Weve spanked newcastle a few times at our place though.

Was Kevin Keegan managing them and Gerry Francis managing us?

I’m sure I vaguely remember reading in KK’s autobiography that he was unable to take much pleasure that day as all his thoughts were with Gerry and what he must’ve been going through on a day like that,

Could be wrong though.

Think it came a few weeks after Bolton, who at the time were in the division below, destroyed us by a similar score in one of the cups. Bad times.
 
This is the team from last season. I have obliterated the game from my memory.
What happened that day?

We must do better than the last 2 seasons up there but they are a strong home side and I will not be mad if we lose a close game. Anything better then I will be happy. No-one wins every match and dropping 2 points at Leicester is worse than losing at Newcastle. A point would be a bonus.
We just need to show some fight and put their makeshift defence under pressure. Also need to be wary of Gordon and isak. Gawd just imagine if we had them two!
