Soton are god awful, by far the worst team in the league. That is all.
Other teams are not beating Southampton 5-0 at their place,
Mancity only achieved a 1-0 win last month, Woolwich a 3-1 win AT Woolwich etc.

Funnily enough I bet you Moyesy will be their next head coach. He or Southgate.When you have a weak squad relative to the league you have to play Moyes style football. Kompany killed the championship with Burnley playing Pep ball but then got killed himself in the prem doing the same.
Pep style football works the best if you have a 1-4th best squad in the league, then it dominates. If you have anything less it is far to risky as you don’t have the players to execute.
Forster has been brilliant since Vicario's injury.Tbh its fine margins thats costing conceding silly goals. Porro for me a great footballer, helluva pass but pisspoor defender. We need to tighten up at back. Forster is more assured than vicario imo. We need another top keeper. Forster a leader as well. He deserves a 1 year extension imo. Hes been brilliant.
Fareham, famous for…. nothing really. I sometimes wish I’d picked a club that was easier to go and see, but they make up for it in drama. Don’t think I’ll get to see us down the road in Southampton next year somehow.Fair enough. Spurs helped you out double. what part of Hampshire?
He might be on the market now as wellMartin given the tin tack.
Not sure what their owners expect. Guardiola would do anything different with that squad.

I do think Moore is an exception to the rule, even the very top sides will look to get a generational talent involved in first team football in their teen years; both Harvey Elliot and Phil Foden made their respective league debuts at 17, Elliot has 123 caps for Liverpool in all comps and is only 21, Foden in the 18/19 season made 26 apps in all comps for City, also never spent a season on loan. In order to get the very most out of such a huge potential player you need them playing at the absolute highest level possible with the best possible players from as young as possible, if you give them that push into first team football and they clearly have some growing to do you send them back to the youth team or out on a loan and revisit once they're a bit older and bigger, but if they're destroying every metric at youth level even in higher age groups like Mikey has been it would be bonkers not to try and find a pathway to first team minutes for him as early as possible.We're Spurs, we shouldn't have to rely on a 17yo, no matter how wonderful he may become...or a 20yo from Burnley. They should be bit-part players for the next 3 or 4 seasons, playing deputies to true world beaters...so not Werner or Johnson (nor 32yo Sonny).
But Levy.
I think the ones you deem as shit are massive over reactions and he's had some of the best LB performances I can remember in a Spurs shirt. When he's really at it, he dominates the likes of Salah and Saka but he's young and still inconsistent. Plus we have no real cover so he gets over played.How many good games has he had in a Spurs shirt? How many great ones? How many goals, assists, big chances created, goal-saving moves etc?
What about shit ones where his laziness or stupidity or whatever else you wanna call it cost us goals (for or against)...and, worse, big points?
I know where I stand. I don't buy the hype round him at all. His skillset is painfully average and his attitude leaves much to be desired. If Spurs were a serious club, he's nowhere near the starting 11. He wouldn't make the matchday squad for Pool, City, Scum, Goons...

Unless we keep him registered during the loan like the scum did with Saliba?It's a tricky one with Yang because if he stays at the club he'd be HGCT, if he is loaned within England he'd be just HG, but if we loan him abroad he'd end up neither.

Can't take the risk of you injuring that one too son..."Sorry Destiny but... we had to take your right leg off at the knee..."
"But it was my left leg that was injured"
"..."

Not sure
They did it, though. Loaned him to a French club.Makes no sense; surely you cant be simultaneously registered in the squad of two diff clubs at the same time?
......Otherwise everyone would do it with their teenaged loanees.
Hopefully that will change after Spence's performance tonight. I don't think there is any way Ange can justify not giving him more game time after that.I think the ones you deem as shit are massive over reactions and he's had some of the best LB performances I can remember in a Spurs shirt.
