When you last won a top-flight title in 1987 and haven't won a trophy in over 30 years '1961 ha ha ' isn't much of a case is it.

Olise was good in the Premier League but every time I see the highlights at Bayern I think in the Prem he just gets hacked down and it's not called or carded and you just never find out that the player is a genius.

City are clearly irredeemable, but I hope fans don't let the Premier League itself off the hook. For this to have gone on for as long as it did cast a vast net of illegitimacy over season after season of results. The League's ineptitude or complicity is maybe worse than City's malfeasance.

Everton were part of the original 'Big 5' of English football pushing for the foundation of the Premier League. Self-victimization is how they cope with the fact that everyone else in that group kicked on while they fell off.

It's too frustrating to find my preseason posts saying how stupid it was to sell Spence and then fielding so many stupid comments about 'well he wants to go' and 'he'll never play with Porro in the team' and 'actually it's smart to just take the money' etc.

Marmoush strikes one just wide of the post. van Hecke skies one from the 6. Bergvall and Kudus miss open chances. A few shbilic goals conceded. In just 5 games of data, stupid things like this are the difference between progress and panic.

1) People keep saying Spurs need a goalscorer, lack a goalscorer. What precisely do they mean by that?

This person comes out of nowhere to troll me with a quote post, I retaliate but better, and he blocks me. It’s like, if you don’t want that interaction, just be normal and don’t start it? I don’t get people.

What’s funny is how mad Newcastle fans get when they figure out you actually have to earn revenue for wage spend and can’t just turn up in shemagh thinking your oil state benefactors are gonna buy you the league.

Many of the same people who will be harshly critical of Cole Palmer for this believe Cuti Romero is a villain for wanting to play for his country no matter what.

Comms in Fulham v Man Utd invoke Spurs sitting last in the table after spending ‘£400m,’ a completely gratuitous statement that has nothing to do with the match at hand.

The idea that RDZ’s job is in danger is insane, as is the idea that it should be. It’s ok to hate the guy for non-football reasons but let’s keep our heads. No meltdowns necessary.

We should be in this match but the defending has been so passive and disorganized.

At least people will maybe shut up about a stupid small-n run of no goals in 5 games.

Maddison on, hacked down by a late challenge, not even a foul called.

Comms calling Bentancur a ‘destroyer’ is announcing zero ball knowledge

I don’t see how van Hecke didn’t see the play unfolding right in front of him and decided to stand off the guy in the 6 yard box

HT: Pressing has been outstanding, box defending terrible.

Of course comms want a yellow there ‘definitely’ but it was bit an ‘easing off’ when Wan Bissaka body checked Marmoush earlier

Don’t show me ref cam, show me yellow card

Endless coverage of Spurs struggles, many declarations of Chelsea being the ones who can rival Arsenal for the league, two 3-0 losses to Brentford, and none of these people know what the fuck they’re talking about.

One of the reasons I wrote this is because a lack of explanatory care in football commentary is making people drive straight to 'the players aren't good enough,' which is facially ridiculous, especially when you say it for every group of £150m - £300m players through the door.

profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Part of me wants Kane back in the Prem just so he can take Shearer's goalscoring record.

profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Indeed, I’m much more concerned about our defending at this point, esp. box defending, crosses into the box, and tracking runners. Some of which organizational, some not.

On this, my gripe post Ange, was an insinuation that the culture needed to be changed. Which it absolutely did not. Ange created a winning culture and mentality in the club. Did we need a deeper squad ? Yep. Was Ange’s football perfect? Nope. Did he have the squad onboard and committed? Absolutely.

Listened to TEI and I want to make an explicit connection between two items in Nathan and Bardi's exchange at the end: Spurs PR don't press refs over bad calls against us (like other clubs do); this is connected to our injury issues at 10. It's legitimate to expect the league to have space for...

I think to understand football you need to know how to play football, have some familiarity with the tactical landscape, and understand how to use, contextualize, and interpret data. Treating any 1 of these as a church will always leave you short. Has to be mixed methods explanation of football.

Again I think he’s using them fine, we just lack coordination all over the pitch and perhaps especially in the front line. Lots of counter-productive movement that coaching will iron out.

Why should anyone care about Alan Shearer’s opinion on Spurs?

This I will write up, hopefully soon, but I think people are bad at evaluating midfields bc there’s way too binary an idea of ‘defensive’ vs ‘attacking’ players and a failure to spot importance of deep-lying technical players. Everyone is pivot-pilled and it’s wrong.
