Getting serious Spurs cold turkey waiting for this game.

While we wait, we could all have a heated debate about what constitutes racism. We haven't had one of those in ages...

Or the 1971 League Cup Final.

American influence. TV taking over.

Sadly I know this - still not happy about it.

I'm bored. This break is boring. I blame Poch and ENIC and Levy and Jose.

But especially Eriksen

I believe the boys are on holiday in Dubai before this match, lets hope back safe and nothing in social media.

Isn't Dubai alcohol free?

FIFY

I don't know what fify means but no one can argue that sports, especially college sports (which is in my opinion is nothing but exploitation. The coaches are the highest paid members of the faculty for God's Sake. They're supposed to be places of further education, not some sports teams with a college attached!!) are played around TV scheduling in order to generate the highest revenue, especially the endless advertisements. It's not quite that bad here. God forbid the college sports TV money type stuff ever comes over here but the money/showbiz angle of things most certainly started in the States.

I have a recollection that we usually go sunning it then come back and get beaten by relegation fodder and fall of whatever we were chasing

"Fixed It For You"
Honestly not trying to get into an argument here. But I think the TV money is already flowing. Isn't that why the PL was created? Maximize television contracts?

Far from ITK on Tottenham's finances, but surely the TV money has helped the club invest in the new stadium, practice grounds, etc etc, no?

Can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

Tottenham wants needs a global following. That will help the club grow and stay financially stable. Part of that means playing an unbalanced schedule for TV. It sucks, but it's part of the deal.

They can drink in hotel bars. More happens there than in Soho.
