Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

A few years ago we had a designated Sky reporter standing outside our offices. A few hours before the window closed he was saying 'the lights have gone off, cars are leaving and people are locking up' etc because our business was done.

Every now and then they would go back to him for the latest, which was to confirm the lights were still off.

That's the kind of window I expect today.
 
I would agree. The stupid thing is they have all the equipment to be. It is another case where we look to save a penny but being pound stupid. The problem is players and manager are always going to make the choice that makes them more likely to play. Madders rushed back for the Super Cup and did his ACL instead of a slow methodical recovery.
It’s a cultural thing too. We had so many surgeries that fucked players up - Ledley, Sandro, Wanyama, etc, etc, that the cultural bias at the club is to avoid it if possible.

No fucking way. We have lots of work to do with incomings and outgoings.

Least we can save on electricity, as it will still be light at 5pm
 
Solanke injured?

I just can’t with this club. It’s nonsense.

Could be a blessing. Solanke injured we get a new and better striker.Solanke not injured we don’t get a new better striker.
