  1. Spurs are in a bit of a pickle. It could be a minor pickle, it could be a major pickle — predicting which way this is going to go is so difficult right now due to the sheer number of variables. I’m going to look at some of those variables, be smart after the fact […]

  2. Two matches of the 2018/19, two new shapes for Mauricio Pochettino.

  5. This has been a season of consolidation. In the league we’ve finished higher than expected.
