Across five defeats, Tottenham have averaged nearly 60% possession, yet opponents are generating 0.123 xG per shot compared to our 0.086. A 43% disparity in chance quality.

The underlying issue is structural. We dominate possession without consistently controlling the spaces from which decisive chances originate. Opposition teams are simply making better use of the ball.

Might as well do City and Liverpool in coming years and complete the cycle of shame.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/YTEGRxbVpF

I’d take Conte over Poch any day. And that’s despite my obvious bias towards Poch as a Spurs fan.What United need right now is accountability. Structure. A commanding voice. Someone who’d rather murder his players on the touchline than watch them ignore his instructions.

Spineless from Spurs. 60% of the ball, 0.28 xG, zero big chances. Leeds won 58% of the duels and had 1.20 xG from set pieces alone. Bentancur should never see the pitch again. Solanke clueless, nothing serious all season. Predictable.

Refereeing has been absolutely abysmal. But that was poor defending from Tottenham as well. Bentancur looks clueless, and so does Solanke, who keeps drifting aimlessly in the final third. Kudus poor. Gray poor. No creativity anywhere.

58% possession, 248 passes, 0.22 xG, six touches in the Leeds box. Losing Tel to a tackle that wasn't even given a foul hurts, but the bigger problem is midfield. Gray isn't progressing it, so everything goes sideways into a Leeds block happy to sit.

I think recency bias has genuinely ruined how people look at football clubs. Brighton, Brentford and the likes have had some very good seasons, fair enough. But people seem to forget that Brighton weren’t even in the Premier League until 2017, Brentford until 2021, and Forest spent 23 years outside it.

Look at Forest. Since coming back they’ve finished 16th, 17th, 7th and 16th. Now they’re 19th and people are acting shocked. Why exactly? One brilliant season and now you’re big?

Spurs, for all the absolute BS they produced in the last two seasons, spent the better part of two decades competing towards the top of this league. Five top four finishes between 2015 and 2022, a Champions League final and a European trophy.

I’m not saying these clubs can’t be better than Spurs right now. Some clearly are. But being better for a season or two and being a bigger football club are two completely different things. And somehow people have started treating them as the same thing.

Third kit, away game, early kick off, last game before the international break, and 3 wins on the bounce. Hmmmm. My Spurs sense is tingling. Elland Road is gonna be hell. Hopefully we get something out of it.

Watching him press like that at 85+ minutes is crazy, man. He’s still going at it like the game’s just started. Not a hint of fatigue. Bloke’s got two sets of lungs, I swear. And the fact that he’s doing all this while playing RB? What even is this guy?

That Kane pass to Laimer was sublime. My God. Best striker in the world and might just be the best playmaker too. What a footballer.

Baleba looks like he’s pulled his hamstring. He’s limping, and that does not look good at all. Manchester United are genuinely cursed at this point.

Jan Paul van Hecke recorded 160 touches and 143 successful passes against Crystal Palace.

Only Elliot Anderson has had more in a Premier League game this season, registering 178 touches and 146 successful passes against Coventry.

[StatMuse FC @statmusefc]

Most successful take-ons in last 4 PL seasons:

279 — Mohammed Kudus
271 — Jérémy Doku

No other player has more than 163.

Three wins in a row for Spurs as they take advantage of Palace's early red.

Spurs had 34 shots, their most in a league game since Feb 2016 (34 vs Swansea), and the most Palace have faced on record in the PL (since 2004-05).

People look at United’s transfer spending and completely miss what the Glazers actually did to the club financially.

In 2005, United had just £50m in borrowings. The Glazers bought the club for £790m, put in only £273m of their own money and loaded £604m of debt onto United through a leveraged buyout. A financially powerful football club was suddenly servicing the debt used to acquire it.

Between 2005 and 2024, £815m went on interest alone. Add debt repayments, dividends and fees, and £1.19bn had left the club. All while the Glazers invested no further money of their own after the takeover.

Think about the opportunity cost here. The money that could have gone towards Old Trafford, infrastructure and long term development was instead servicing acquisition debt.

As of June 2026, United still carried £622m in net debt. Meanwhile, the Glazers have personally received over £1bn from selling shares over the years.

They essentially made Manchester United finance its own acquisition, service that debt for two decades and then made a fortune selling stakes in it.

If only Kudus had finished that chance, man. Williams Barnett is really, really special. I genuinely haven’t been this excited about a young Spurs prospect since I started watching Kane in 2017. The way this kid moves with the ball is absolute butter.
