  1. It’s been a week. Between Forest and a one-year-old with hand, foot and mouth (plus the looming arrival of baby number two), I’m running on fumes. Forest has me feeling particularly low about Spurs. Because here’s the thing: it came after what you could call a ‘good’ week. If you squinted hard enough, you could see tweaks, changes, signs of life. Sure, it was against poor-quality opposition, but there were glimmers: full-backs moving inside to create passing lanes (and thriving), front-four interplay and connection, Xavi Simons actually, you know, having the ball. And then Forest happened, and it felt like the absolute worst extremes of Thomas Frank’s Tottenham all at once.

  3. Once again we find ourselves divided as a fanbase. It's no surprise given the way the season has gone to date: seven wins, two draws and eight defeats in the league. Swinging from a low point amongst several other low points in Ipswich at home to a swashbuckling win against the reigning champions, to smashing Southampton and beating Manchester United to conceding six at home.

  4. I've written quite a bit over the past few months about our squad building: Summer 2024 Squad Planning – Update (July 2024) and More Needed (August 2024). I think we need to update this now that we've seen how the squad is shaping up so far this season.
