which is why he'll fuck off to Real Madrid this summer.

Can’t see Hazard making a decision until their managerial situation is sorted out. I’m somewhat sceptical that he’s looking forward to play under Jose.

Sceptical based on his own words from 3 months ago?

"If I'm now asked one coach with whom I want to work again, then I say: 'Mourinho'," Hazard told HLN.

So last season Spurs averaged 70,000 a game at Wembley yet during their best season since ever the attendance is down by a third?

Time will tell. If I were to sign a multi million pound deal I’d really want to know #wtafigo with Brexit.

explained by the limit on 90k attendance games, fan fatigue at having to keep going to wembley, and the holding out hope that we'll be in the new stadium this year.

Bloody EU taking all our foreign players, etc

explained by the limit on 90k attendance games

What is this plz?

wembley only allows us to have a certain number of max capacity games, because they have other events on which are max capacity during the year. Part of their licence with Brent, so because this season, we haven't committed to being there for the whole season, the amount of 90k games we can have is limited. We can negotiate to get more 90k games but it's not guaranteed.

bit more explanation below, from this article
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46171505

Tottenham can now play at Wembley indefinitely but with a reduced capacity of 51,000.

A planning application to Brent Council is required to increase the capacity to 62,000 with "additional limited exceptions" at 90,000.

The council had granted special dispensation to allow Tottenham to play the entire 2017-18 season at Wembley at full capacity.

Serious question. What percentage of fans live within a 6 mile radius and are negatively impacted by playing at Wembley?

I’m struggling to understand how it can be that last season they averaged 70k a game and now it’s about 30% lower. Just because you can get rebate on your season ticket?

If my team was playing the best football in living memory and living within 90 minutes from the ground I’d want to go and see as many games as physically possible. Spurs fans on the other hand seem to be about as fickle as they get.

That’s a much better answer.

This is London, my friend.

Travelling six miles for non-Londoners is nothing, but as any fool know, doing the same in London is an enormous challenge.

Fan fatigue?!??!?

The Andy Carroll’s of the fan world

My Sister-in-law is a Spuds season ticket holder (and has been for over 20 years). She travels down from Derbyshire for every home game. And before then she travelled over from France when she lived there for about 10 years.

She does moan about having to go to Wembley instead of White Hart Lane though. Even though it's a small percentage of difference to her overall travel.

Dude you’re talking about years of ingrained travel memory being torn up. People bitch about, and rail against getting moved around in a restaurant, changing desks etc. Travelling to a different stadium for a season and a half is bound to cause upset, fans are creatures of habit and anything that changes that habit will be avoided..

Major point is the restriction on attendance. I left yesterday straight after the full time whistle, quick walk down Wembley way, no kettling or stopping at the bottom of the stairs to the station, straight on a train.
After Barca/inter Milan took at least half an hour before I even smelt the station..

You can keep your andy Carroll, I look forward to the moody arrival of Samir nasri..

Nasri's already arrived, he played in the Cup game against Brum, and was one of the Hammers' better players in fairness.

And the claret and blue made him appear much more slim and dashing than the Fatty McFattFatt he looked in the sky blue of City ;)

He must already be hooked up with good Essex coke dealer, John Terry's dad perhaps?

Pochettino is all but confirmed for the Madrid job in the summer, no?

Love how worked up you get currently about Tottenham big man.
We must be doing something right.
Looking forward to more blinkered outraged rants in the future..

How many will Man City get? 8-0 and counting after 70 mins.

9 (NINE).

I read a comment on the Guardia about how Nigel Clough was seen as someone who sat on the bench and took the money rather than trying when at city.

@Manc_Ronnie is that about right?
And at Liverpool?

Dunno about Liverpool, but it's certainly how most feel about his time at City. TBF we were a shambles of a club at the time, he didn't help at all though.

That's interesting. I always thought he just couldn't do it at another club. He was good, clearly, but something didn't work for him.
Also. He's a miserable git.

Or seems that way.

So Ramsey to Juve......do you think he'll do well?
