Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Rodney marsh on SSN back in the day used to hate us. Got vibe he still held a grudge we beat them in 82 cup final. I cant stand the cunt tbh. I dont mind constructive criticism from pundits such as owen hargreaves then fair enough. Tbh i dont know why sky ask for jamie redknapps opinion on us. We were a pension payment for him as a player.
It’s almost as if it’s fashionable to not like spurs or just have a low opinion of us.If someone like Roy Keane sticks the boot into us most of the time he’s right about criticising us and most of the time I agree with him,I can accept that,trouble is rest of the time you get fucking idiots like
merson,Walcott,Richard’s Redknapp and spitty making these little barbs about us bunch of cretins.
 
EPL players will continue to cost substantially more than their counterparts in other top leagues as long as this "EPL exceptionalism" persists.

Here the unspoken assumption is that EPL is on a different stratosphere compared to other leagues, and therefore whoever you buy from those leagues will be a huge gamble whereas EPL players are known commodities.

And this is not even exclusive to players. Managers in this league also benefit greatly from it.
 
So do we reckon Savinho is the end boss battle of this window ?

The last player that we pretend to sign , do we look to drag this one out to deadline and fail to sign him in a blaze of "we tried" glory or does Mr Daniel Phillip Levy have another rabbit up his sleeve , and do we go and pretend to sign another player in addition to Savinho ?

Exciting times await either way
This will nail-bitingly go 'till the last day of the window....in which we'll miss out and get Dominic Calvert Lewin on loan....
 
The one gripe I have about pep guardiola is how much he can tend to shackle players especially wingers.
He is extremely ocd about player movements, where to move, when to move and specific actions at specific moments. This tends to tie down and limit expression and many players have suffered from this just has others have flourished (mainly no10's)
What i like about savinho is that hes one of these in the moment, freestyle type players that thrive with freedom to express. Everybody loves a silky skillful brazilian.
I think if we can get him, give him that #7 and get behind him he will grow into a sensational player, i see no weaknesses except arielly.

As he grows I could really see him having a similar effect to bale when he used to get the ball in certain positions and every around the stadium would get that sense of 'here he goes, somethings going to happen'. Maybe not quite in the sense of putting it into the top corner but from the sense of knowing he was gonna takeoff.

Plus i think in the champions league, under the lights he and kudus will be great fun and really give us some bite to hurt teams, and get the crowd going, along with the like of palhinha putting in the banging tackles.
