Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Lewis Holtby was turning the air blue on Loose Women last week
I normally don't listen to Ally Gold because his videos are too long but in this case I felt it was worth to listen to his view of the present situation...

Saw it last night , he’s very dismissive/ perplexed by the lack of activity . Either back him or fuck him off .
He also said that’s there’s no way Iraola would come . Can’t really blame him
What I like about this is that they are ( filling in some blanks ) writing across a wider spectrum of people at the club. It’s the right thing to do. Not just targeting big Dan. We need to make those around him feel at least questioning of the approach.
…boring I know, but I did the same thing over the discrimination in the 2021 league cup final ticket allocation and I did feel I got some consideration in response.
Come on bro - no one at the club has come out and told Sam that - it is pure speculation - I've read the article. It is pure musings designed for clickbait - I thought better of you to get sucked into sharing shit like this.
This account, on purpose, removes the key part of this sentence to get people to share so they can make money on their X posts.
"Tottenham’s recruitment team are working to strengthen the squad. But that is easier said than done. The transfer market evolves on a daily basis and conditions for deals are constantly changing.
For example, Tottenham’s desire to sign a forward has been complicated by the injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus at Woolwich. The Gunners, who were not expecting to enter the market for a new attacker, are now seeking one. That causes difficulties for Tottenham and clubs in a similar position."
Difficult market unless you are Citeh
In relation to dear old Comedy.
Agree he sometimes comes out with little nuggets but honestly who can sit through 57minutes of is somebody at the door?
Right those nuggets include......
"I am paid by Tottenham to watch matches"
"For 71 minutes we stank the place out at Coventry "
"For 106 minutes we stank the place out at Tamworth" can't remember exact wording
Now my favourite as he has said this at two separate times
And this one is for all you injuries are killing us and all will well when......
He said he is going to ask Postecoglu at a presser about the space between Porro and Romero so this is pre injury.QED

Levy doesn't trust the Aussie's anymore. Of course he's not going to let them splash big. Last time he trusted them, they recruited an unknown Aussie that has taken the club to 15th. The 50m on BJ were not very well invested either.
What a crazy situation. We really do need strengthening though. The current players are absolutely depleted. Everyone's been ran into the ground by Ange. He warned the medical staff of this when he arrived lol. It's going to be a very expensive Aussie experience this for Levy. Whoever is signed now also has a high probability of getting long term injured. Then Ange will need new replacements in the summer. So the cycle will continue.
His strategy may work at Celtic when your team is so much stronger than any other team. But at the highest level, you can't play every game as if it's a cup final. You need to plan for a whole season.
Every season now with Ange, we've started relatively strong just to fade later.
Even this season, while the start was poorer than usual, it was still way stronger than it's been later in the season.
But this season is of course much worse. We could collapse and get into a relegation battle. The gulf in class is not that enormous anymore. With a clown at the wheel, the advantages that we have over smaller clubs are erased. Now, we're suddenly at a disadvantage to clubs like Everton, Palace and maybe even Ipswich.

It seems the boycott matches and have empty seats at the stadium to protest against ENIC/Levy isn't gaining much ground , 14,000 in the queue this morning at 10.30
Nah sorry. Even if the club isn't leaking this, though it's not that fanciful, the fact is our lack of activity is fucking shocking and I'm done defending ENIC.
I was very much understanding of ENICs approach ntil recently. I haven't always been staunchly ENIC out, I'm not blinded by hatred of Levy - to be honest I think a lot of the off field work has been top notch. I love the stadium, I think it's great he's got the NFL and concerts and go karts. Because at the end of the day what he's done is made us one of the richest clubs in the world.
BUT and here is the but - none of it has actually done anything for what we're all here for: the actual football. The team and manager that got us to the CL final in 2019 was put together without any of these vast riches. We moved in in 2019 and it's been bumpy at best verging on disasterous since then. We make all this money? So what? We still refuse to match fees or wages when it comes to Woolwich, or Chavs, or United, or Liverpool. In fact we don't even refuse to match, we pay much much less. It's not even close. When Sonny retires or leaves and Werner goes home our wage bill will be bumbling around that of Everton, and all for the bargain price of the most expensive tickets in the country.
It's not Poch who should have left in 2019 it's ENIC. They would have gone out with the club on the cusp of greatness and they'd be remembered in a favourable way by most. Now they're just dragging us down.
What that story up there says is true. We can afford to compete, but now it's hard to compete so we won't. We should be competing with Woolwich for players. We're not. There's no defence of ENIC on this.
Got to hand it to people. 14000 in a queue, to part with the best part of £100, to watch us at the moment.
It’s masochism at its highest.
Like going to watch a freak show out of morbid curiosity. Although the reduced price membership makes it accessible to a lot more away fans than their official allocation allows.
All these cunts queing up to buy tickets but nobody has actually bought my City tickets
Has the exchange actually opened for the City game yet, normally doesn't open until the members sale has finished for each batch of games.All these cunts queing up to buy tickets but nobody has actually bought my City tickets
It has, because I've listed them.
Even though you can choose to place your seats on the exchange at any time in advance pretty sure it doesn't actually open for others to buy until they have sold the members allocation as per the piece below. If City has sold out think you will find the exchange will open tomorrow or Thursday , that's how it's worked in the past.
5.1 Ticket Exchange Opening
Season Ticket Holders will be able to list their seat for any of the 19 home Premier League games, at the Club’s discretion, from the start of the season.
The platform will open for purchases, also at the Club’s discretion, following the completion of the on-sale process to Members and once tickets available from the Club have sold out, allowing earlier access to tickets for Members who were unsuccessful in the initial on-sale process.
