I remember Jake Sinclair was quoted as being the next Walcott, didn’t really happen for him.

Based on today’s result and performance I think the players can expect a tough day tomorrow from Ralph.

That’s the halftime entertainment sorted then.

Today Ralph gives his first sessions to the players. What do you think the players can expect? And Pilchards, are you watching from bushes?

I think the holiday camp training days are over for the players, round the clock sessions to learn the basics and new playing system awaits for them.

Talking of the first training session, I cannot remember who, but can the person who always climbed in to one of the trees around Staplewood and reported on the session do that again? Remember when he reported on Pardew’s first session and that Pardew kept getting angry with the players.

Bild is reporting it, they are the German equivalent of The Sun. Not the most reliable of sources..

Do Hughes is staying then..

I disagree with you on this point. If you watch City you see a group of players knowing exactly what they have to do. Sterling has progressed to very good player and even Stones is a decent player nowadays. Yesterday on MOTD they said City haven’t conceded a goal in the second half all season in the league. Watch him coach Sterling, can’t see Hughes coaching the players like that.

Spoke to a Dutch ex pro football this week about Bosz. He said Bosz is a good manager but his problem is he doesnt adapt his teams to the opposition, if its Fulham at home or City away, Bosz will have his players attack and put pressure on the oppositions defence. Ajax a had slow start when Bosz took over, but because of the massive gap between Ajax, PSV and to a certain extend Feyenoord, they were still second once the players understood what Bosz wanted from them. The guy I spoke to said we should go with Jardim, if he wants to come here.

We sacked Adkins after a 2-2 draw against Chelsea and a decent spell of games if I remember rightly, this place went mental at the time.

talking of Wanyama, big Vic doesn’t get to play many games at Tottenham. Maybe he would like to come back? Schneiderlin doesn’t play many games for Everton either and neither does Clyne at Liverpool. They can’t all have lost their talent and they are all still in their twenties if I am correct. Come on new DoF, get rid of Forster, Hoedt, Austin, Cedric etc and let’s bring the class of 2013 back together

If Austin really cared, he would have taken much more care of his body and nutrition. If he goes to a professional strength coach and gets someone to sort his diet out, he could be a good PL striker.

I would be very pleased if one of those 3 replaced Hughes.

We had a rubbish season last year, but for some reason this one feels much more like the 2004/2005 season.

Are the police seriously locking up people for a bad taste joke? Shouldn’t they be concentrating on the high murder rate etc?

Cardiff weighing up a (loan) move for Clyne, could hsdajfu? https://www.google.nl/amp/s/www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-nathaniel-clyne-cardiff-loan-15444006.amp

Tadic and Lovren in a bit of bother due to tax avoidance. https://www.nacional.hr/football-leaks-the-millions-of-dejan-lovren-and-mateo-kovacic-collected-in-mamics-swiss-company-investigated-for-gross-crimes/

Mundo has us linked to injury prone Barcelona CB Thomas Vermealen. Great defender but very injury prone. Does Vestergaard still have a future with us? What about Bednarek?

I remember hearing that in 2005 when we got relegated. Lowe will leave, deadwood will be cleared, fresh start etc. Fact is if we go down we lose a lot of money, will lose the good players and be stuck with Forster, Hoedt, Long, Austin, Carrillo etc. Best scenario we can hope for is that Gao sacks Wilson, Hughes, Krueger and Reed and puts someone like Mitchell in charge of recruiment and installs a chairman like Cortese to run the club. Relegation will only make things worse. Another idea is to hire a dodgy football agent like Mendes or Raiola to sell the players we dont want and let them have x amount of the price we sell the players for. With all their contacts they should be able to sell some of them and get us a decent return.

Yes to Rodgers, Van Gaal, Hiddink, Howe, Lampard and Benitez. Bosz with Erwin Koeman would also be a good option.

Do you still get info from within the club? If so, any pressure from within the club on Hughes? And what do the players think of him?

Can it be 3 players and a manager? If so, Van Dijk Mane Lallana Pochettino

Dutch football website Voetbalzone.nl had a article today with Pochetinno claiming that due to a lack of summer signings, he has never felt so unhappy at Spurs. He did claim that have started the season stronger then ever. Could this be a ‘come and get me’ message to Perez?
