re: Tottenham Hotspur 2025/26 Season Long Thread: Please Save Us De Zerbi

We are one more loss from Juande’s dreaded “2 points from 8 games” in the Premier League. It’s 2 from 7, 3 from 8, and one PL win in 12.

It’s actually insulting to me how our fans still haven’t come to grips with the situation. We are currently the worst team in the country. On form, no one is worse.

Manu getting arsenal level protection with these calls

Man, I’m really worried about this team.

That’s an interesting vid

Per the Guardian:

Tottenham’s owners are planning to rip up the club’s rigid wage structure before a major overhaul of the squad this summer if the team avoid relegation. There is an acknowledgment at Spurs that the club have underinvested in player salaries for years, which along with an injury crisis has led to their being 16th in the Premier League, four points off the bottom three.

Too little too late

Next week we s huge. We need at least 6 points from those three matches.

Yeah he’s not going to admit it, but VAR is inexcusable:

Peter Bankes, the referee in Sunday’s north London derby, is convinced he was right to rule out Randal Kolo Muani’s goal for a push on Arsenal’s Gabriel. Speaking on Match Officials Mic’d Up, Bankes said: “I see two hands from the Tottenham player into the back of the Arsenal player and that is going to be my main focus. Once you see two hands in live play, it looks like a push, a clear push. “I delayed the whistle so that the play could continue, then obviously gave my final decision once the ball had gone into the goal and that allows the VAR then to potentially check if I’ve misread something or if it doesn’t quite look right. But on field it looked a very, very clear offence.” The VAR confirmed Bankes’ on-field decision and the referee said that, having subsequently looked at replays of the incident, he was “still comfortable” with his ruling. “Obviously, different speeds can make things look different. In slow motion, it can look different to what you see live,” he added. “I get one look at it, and I was more than happy that the two hands on the back had enough impact and was an offence. I understand there’s going to be split opinions on it, but for me I’m still comfortable that is enough for a free kick.”
