Spurs gaffer Mauricio Pochettino has narrowly avoided a touchline ban for the biggest game of his life, according to PA Sport’s Jonathan Veal.
It’s been a hectic few days for the club, as THFC also picked up a £5000 fine for the fan that managed to run onto the pitch during the Manchester City game.
Elsewhere, Poch’s name is linked with the Juve job. And it could reach an all-time high should Spurs win the Champions League next month.
After eight years of domestic dominance, Juventus crave another European crown and this season’s quarter-final exit against Ajax in the Champions League was a huge disappointment after signing Cristiano Ronaldo last summer for a fee reported to be 100million euros.
Pochettino has claimed he could leave Spurs if they won European club football’s biggest prize on June 1, although he did sign a new five-year contract last year. The Argentinian plays bright, attacking football and throughout his career has blooded young players but the fact he has not won a major trophy – yet – may work against him
Both my kids want to be YouTubers when they grow up, they tell me they don’t have to do well at school because of this.
Not so much a hoard, just a few sad and mentality ill people seeking notoriety. Fame is everything these days after all, if you have below 2k social media followers your life is worthless.
What a world it has become over a very short timeframe. It’s all very weird…
This blog is kaput.
I’m back in the office Tuesday.
Fascinating updates r us.
* and he will want more than 2 if Eriksen needs to be replaced as well.
Levy will not get away with the sane old nonsense this time. Poch knows he can walk into any job he chooses now and his recent statements make it plain he’s endured his last bargain bin summer. He has earned at least two top class signings of his choice. If enic don’t deliver for him he will almost certainly go.

Really good article and couldn’t agree more. I am not expecting us to compete with City in money terms, just an attitude adjustment. We on average (until last 2 windows) spend £70m a year just on 5 players instead of 1.
Agreed re this blog. Hope, too, we’re not going to lose you, Eastie …..or…myself. I’m only on the laptop!
Clubs should receive a hefty fine if they fix up money making friendlies when they’ve been given this winter break (didn’t actually know it was happening!) so their players can have a rest! No point there being one if they’re going to play anyway!
Our one chance, though, Paul is that some of our players needed a rest or to recover from injury, so this might work out fine for us, especially as our form has not been good of late. But Liverpool by comparison have been playing so well (even in the first leg against Barca they didn’t play too badly) that maybe they’ll go off the boil a bit – we can only hope!! That said, not at all confident about us overcoming the mighty reds; in fact, not really even considering the possibility. Could be a hammering, starting with the first corner they get!
The Terminator gets a kicking in Sth Africa, whats the world coming to. Hurt or attempt to, film it and go for fame, same thing happened in Nz. Fukin Nobodies they are the zombie hoard.
Interesting assessment of whether levy’s sell to buy transfer policy is likely to continue this summer, even at the cost of losing poch. Points out that poch’s total net spend at Spurs, heading into his fifth levy summer, is just £7m and how levy’s only comment about this summer’s spending was that the club’s “[zero] net spend would not be affected.”

I wonder if city achievements could be stripped when they are found guilty of financial doping? Woohoo they won 3 domestic cups … they outspent everyone else in the league by almost £500m that’s like bragging usaine bolt won the sports day at a local infant school.
So there you go, City and every other epl player off on their hols (most already had a week) yet we have to wait another two fackin weeks for one match, what-a-mistake-a-to-make-a. It’s fackin stupid on all fronts, firstly the quality of the football on show becuase how are the competing teams meant to maintain anything like match fitness after a three week break and no matches? Secondly such along break actually ends up punishing the teams involved by extending the season for those involved by quite a margin AND the whole Summer recruitment of each club is completely thrown into the shitter because the outcome of the final will have a direct bearing on who comes and goes. It’s utterly ridiculous; The CL final should be played one week or max ten days after the semi-final, end of, there’s zero positive reasons to drag it out, only negative ones for those involved. Shortened player hols, affects pre-season and recruitment, sound familiar? You can bet we’ll be hearing about how so so difficult this made buying anyone come end of August. FFS, sort it out UEFA you fackin morons.
ps. fair ticket allocation for competing teams fan’s might be a good idea too.
pps. took you long enough H ?but glad to see the death star back online, if not ‘fully operational’.
Citeh had to spend money to achieve so in 666’s mind they are not as good as Spurs. There, I’ve said it.
Not for the first time,I’ve thought that Walker is the poorest player in that City side.
So long football. Off across the river stix. 6 nil in a cup final…..next season VAR and winter break(money making friendlies for elites).
RIP. Bloated corpse.
I was just wondering if Poch could have seen the player Capoue has become.
Citeh on “fer tut treble” but no quad however, cos of the mighty Tottinghams!
No, server related.
Is the issue on here phone related? I only ever use a laptop.
Yes. But not properly.
Hmmmm….. is this still working for me today?
I must have been on a bender for 3 days after the match ,what actually happened to our supporters?

Sid, it’s broken. Wait until it is fixed.
This server business has been a salutary lesson.
Nothing Stays The Same.
There’s so much good stuff out there now you can get access to in terms of youtube blogs and audible books which is great listening and learning whilst driving or chilling….I’m at that age where I cant listen to any dj younger than 30 as it makes me want to rip the radio out of my car whilst they laugh at their own jokes!
Same Easty, I don’t use any other formats as it generally gives too much a voice for stupid people and I can’t be bothered…also I wear a tin foil hat to avoid being traced by the FBI..you have to be careful, they are watching us!
Hurrah!
Let’s see if I can still post without the email shenanigans…..
Reading Spewsnow Spurs we are buying 30 players this summer ,looks like the Mancs are going for Sessegnon. Poch getting banned would have made the whole experience shit for everyone .
This is a good blog, sometimes derided by its detractors for being too ‘negative’ (1 trophy in almost 20 years obviously not an issue then?) but that’s because some people are blinded by the bullshit. Democracy however requires people to question the status quo…
HH, hoping you can fix these ongoing bugs but I sense the demand to do this on on of the usual social media platforms is getting ever stronger. I’m not on any of them and in the name of freedom of speech and the refusenik element to any sane individual, I hope this isn’t the beginning of the end?!
Comments work but formatting is weird in last 2 paragraphs. Using samsung phone and Samsung internet browser if that helps.
As for poch being banned… that would have been a hard sell to the papers and foreign tv… hobbling the under dogs.
Not sure why the old way couldn’t carry on – this keep logging in and out is a deterrent at times
It’s still buggered ?
Finally, it works!
Levy has already included this fan’s action into the ticket surcharge for the final
Well this appears to work…
