Son predicts the future and the special visitor in Daniel Levy's Tottenham suite

Ali gold chant maybe ??? 🤔 I’m working on it . Let’s get the voice of spurs in it ehhhy 👍🏻

Sorry, you're making poor excuses here.
Werner went through with that chance, that could EASILY have been one of many if Udogie passed through into space to let him run instead of passing to feet. Werner might not have had to shoot if 1 or 2 more players ran with him.
We were boring. Palace defended VERY easily against us. All it took was keeping bodies in the box. Had Johnson not manages to rob the ball from Anderson, Palace probably would have kept their heads and left with a 1 nil.
Whether it's coaching or the players i have no idea, but they need to learn when to up the pace to get in behind teams in the rare occasions they're further up.
At HT we had 82% posession and 2 shots! Neither shot was good either.

I dont think ive ever really appreciated the art of defending but VDV and Romero are a joy to watch!!!

Lot of pundits and opinion people down on Werner. I think Werner is great. I hope we keep him. I know he needs confidence but the lad is golden. Pace and team player. I hope he comes good for us and creates loads of chances and scores loads to shut them up and get his loan permanent. COYS

Relief is the word. But got over the line and in hindsight excellent ability to finish a match strong.

I don’t think Son is world class but he’s a world class finisher and I had no doubt he’d bury that. Our captain!

BJ got stick because he’s usually anonymous and can’t attack or beat a man as often as a winger should. But he showed us what he can do and if that’s the real BJ then maybe we did get the player we needed.

Let’s hope we take down Villa next, I think we might!

Sorry if you mentioned him and I missed it but I thought Biss was excellent yesterday. Hope he gets better and can keep up those performances

4 games in a row now when we havnt started playing until 70 mins on clock. we will do well to catch villa if this continues 😢

I would like to see us set up with five attackers to start games when we know we'll be playing against a low block. We've seen a couple of times the extra attacker making a big difference, but we only do it when we're behind. I'm sure Madders and Deci have the wherewithal to drop back when called for, but when we're having 80%+ possession and struggling to create chances, we seem to be missing something.
Great turnaround anyway, and the hope remains for a strong finish. Bring on Villa for what might well be the top 4 final!

I can't find the video of Madders singing the Richy song in the lift... can anyone offer a link?

Cheers Big A. Great to see Johnson stepping up, nothing better than a late flurry of goals at home in the south stand

Hey Ali. Great vid as always. I was wondering where you think Spurs will now finish this season?

Exactly right , we won, nothing else matters at the moment. Werner is coming on , they all are!!

I hope Romero/Biss and co don’t go for retribution on Matty Cash in the Villa game. Not until we’re 3 nil up anyways 😊

Thank you for your regular updates, they much appreciated 👍😁

Thanks Alasdair,, great to celecrate a win again.. Brennan is a class act.

Had a good look at Timo in the 2nd half as playing off the left he was right in front of me as he attacked the box. I thought he was trying to make things happen but there does still need to be work from the rest of the team in how to use him. At points he was looking to break forwards only to have the ball played behind him forcing him to check back. When we started playing it to him in the right areas he began to attack his full back and create things. Very pleased he got his goal as it is going to be a confidence thing with him and getting goals will only help his confidence to grow. As we saw with Son a confident player takes the shot early while the keeper is still setting themselves rather than taking the extra touch. General view around where i was sitting at the point he was taken off was one of disappointment as he was playing well and people would have liked to see him play out the 90. Early days of course but 15mil in the summer looks like a bit of a steal.

Yeah, well done to Brennan for changing the game like that. I can't believe he was getting abused lately, very sad indeed. Sonny loves and is so proud to be our captain, so lovely to see his smile all the time, I love his positivity. Cuti's goal and celebration my god 💙💙💙 !!!!
Cuti is one of my favourite players just for his mentality and passion for the game. He clearly loves life at the moment. We as fans can clearly see the magnificent atmosphere within this squad and that's something very important for me to see as a fan !
About Timo, unfortunately when I saw him rushing towards goal I knew he was gonna miss 🙁. On the contrary, I had the opposite feeling with Sonny in the same position. So it will be Timo's job to change our mind before the end of the season. Hoping he does !
Well huge game next weekend !!!
To end my little comment, I wanted to thank you again Alasdair for your articles and vids, you know you are my favourite one 😊
COYS

I can't believe the criticism of him it's his 1st season. Come on guys support the players he always wrks hard coys

Question for Ali: Do you use the embargo section to ask different types of questions or is it all the same to you?

Top work as always Ali! Cheers!

Great insights as always, Ali. Thank you for all you do for the Club and the supporters. As for Timo’s remarks, my ears heard “ballast” and I smiled at the poetry of the expression when translated.

Remember watching Werner at Chelsea thinking he has so many good qualities just sometimes lacked end product. He works his socks off for the team and in this spurs team he can thrive the more confident he gets. 15M for him in todays market is an absolute steal imo

Now you’ve said it Gold (talking about Romero) you know he’s got a target for Matty cash! 🥴😂

I would 100% bring on Gil or Hojbjerg to go “get” Cash. Or if you want to create a homegrown hero, send Donley after him

Oratory, Congeniality, and Communication are all different traits and skills. Similar to writing and podcasting there are common skill requirements but they do have some differences. Communication and how others hear us and react to us is so varied and variable that we as people aren’t universally good at communication in every form and situation. It’s just likely the majority of people tend to be better in smaller groups however someone like Ange who clearly has introverted traits and is introspective but has worked in a field of sport that requires group leadership has led to the dynamic you notice about how he can skillfully handle a room of people but not necessarily handle a one on one social interaction with the same ease. Also Ange seems pragmatic at least in some ways so he might not see a one on one interaction as being as vital to his role as handling larger groups. But clearly he can handle people even as individuals because he does what they may need but he doesn’t mingle the professional and personal like so many people do.

Great video again!

Joke of the day . So tottenham has won 🏆 one cup since Levy became the chairman. After paying bonuses to the players for winning the cup . Levy says, "Duck that ." Not paying bonuses anymore 😅😂

Your rating on Royal was too low. He had a strong game. Saved a goal after Romero’s mishap & then won the ball up the pitch which led to the scoring chance where Son hit the post.

Did you see Dune 2? :)

We need to go to Villa and win . We owe them one, to avenge that defeat at home 👊

Hi Ali, I have seen a few players make the same tackle Romero got sent off for against Chelsea and referee did nothing. Cuti's coming for you Matty Cash!!!

*Ali* I know you like weird knowledge stuff about the match, did you notice (re-watch if not) Son's goal .... the ball hit the back of the net, came back out a few yards, then spun back into the goal again ..... surely that must count as Son double lol

Royal needs to go back to whatever Sunday league team we have £5 to. Free flowing attacking football? When? Pure lies. Vicario is Lloris 2.0 & you sit in front of ange & ask duff questions. Ask him when we gonna sign quality like Zaha & griezemann. This squad is half a pile of crap. Spurs got lucky, end of.

Very frustrating when palace pressed us at time and Vicario still tried to play out from the back inviting pressure on us, should he hit it long to beat the press occasionally? They would not be so willing to do it so often

Question for the Q&A: Do you think its realistic that Harry Kane could come back to Tottenham and when do you think he could?

I always think Sonny is gonna score he literally have 1 bad season and it wasn’t shocking. He always have top conversation rate for a reason.

Re the Palace game....1) I'm surprised how little discussion there was of the foul on Werner in the box that should've been a penalty 2) Spurs got a lot of corners but I never thought there would be chance of a goal from a corner because the Palace defenders were pretty much all appreciably taller than our players. So are Spurs as a whole one of the shorter teams in the Premier League?

Thanks again Alasdair for the excellent video. Away from football, I've just come back from the US including a visit to the Academy Museum in Los Angeles. Not sure if you've been there but as a film buff you'd love it. They have a terrific room highlighting every Oscars since its inception but the highlight to me was the Godfather exhibit. They had the original costumes, Marlon Brando's office and his desk, original scripts, Francis Ford Coppola's 'Godfather' book with his annotations showing what he wanted in some scenes, the mandolin that played the theme tune...and the horse's head (!). Sorry to veer away from our beloved Spurs.

Ali, earlier this season you mentioned that Ange Ball includes passing out the back, not booting the ball, even when the opponent is pressing. Late in the match vs. Palace, when Spurs were doing so, one of my friends was throwing up his hands, but I told him what you told us. “This is the way,” as the Mandalorian would say.

Oh no giving away superstitious secrets to other teams to exploit. Low blocks and losing toss to deal with too 😂

I’ve just listened to Timo’s interview and he says “ the Pillars were falling down “ I guess our equivalent to “ the world on my shoulders “ ?

Hello Ali, who do you think of the current squad will still be featuring for Spurs once Ange has had the necessary transfer windows to form his ideal Spurs team?

Thanks Ali. When I saw the title I thought you was going to mention the UAE ruler, Sheikh Abdulla Bin Rashid Al Mualla meeting Levy recently. Is there anything you can share about that on your next vid?

Great video as always. On the goalkeeper front, do you see any of the club youngsters taking the number 2 stop or are the club potentially looking at a young back up. Obviously Fraser does well when called upon but he can’t have many years left.

i love brennan johnson <3

Watch Dune Part 2 I need to know if you love it

Thanks Alasdair. The voice of reason and sanity.

On Bentancur's challenge on Eze - if he hadn't made it and Eze scored from the shot, Bentancur would've got pelters, big time. So he was damned either way.

Sonny knows hard work will pay off

Hi Alasdair, I’m doing a research project on the history of Tottenham Hotspur and trying to get fans favourite moments from the 80’s and 90’s! I’m trying to find different moments from popular culture, or footballing moments!! Like the Klinsmann dive celebration, Chas and Dave, or Diamond lights by Hoddle and Waddle - Moments like these!!! If you can think of any more that would be great!!!

I couldn't watch the gsme live because i was watching Dune part 2 😂 saw the game without being loaded with in-game emotion and frankly we looked almost constantly in control, which hasn't always been the case... Cant complain 🤷‍♂️
