I’m a Tottenham fan, and I’m also a Wolves fan.
Not in the sense that I split my loyalties between the two teams. My loyalty is 100% with Spurs. The excitment when waking up on matchday, the anticipation ahead of the team news, the weekend made or ruined with one result; I only get that with Spurs. You can’t truly get that with two teams.
But I admire so much about this Wolves side. I love watching them play. I would take half of their team at Spurs, and their manager too.

Nuno Espirito Santo has a well-established method of play. The tactics are consistent – everybody knows exactly what they’re doing, and it works whether they are playing Norwich at home, or Manchester City away.
We have been a team without a plan, even before the injuries.
Wolves have only used 20 players in the Premier League this season – the fewest in the division, and Nuno has more reason to rotate than anyone. His side have already played 45 games in all competitions and yet 10 players have started 21 or more of their 27 league matches. He knows his best team.
Compare this to Spurs, who have used the most players in the league with 29, and only Toby Alderweireld or Serge Aurier have started 21 or more times. We don’t know our best centre-back partnership, or our best midfield combination. We don’t know who should play left-back, how to get the best out of Dele Alli, or even what formation to play. We are all over the place.
Wolves are a team in every sense of the word, but then there are the individual players who would be perfect solutions to Spurs problems…
Matt Doherty as the advanced right-back; Ruben Neves as the deep-lying playmaker, Diogo Jota as the Harry Kane cover who can also play out wide.
And that is before we even get to the unstoppable Adama Traore, or Raul Jimenez, who is only a fraction away from being as good as Kane himself.
This Wolves’ love-in does not mean they are my second team. I only have one team. Right now, they are just a lot of what I want my one team to be.
The difference is Wolves are a club where the owners, manager and the players have a genuine desire for football success. We have owners without that desire and it runs like a poison through THFC from top to bottom.

No money in duffle bag cash anyway.
Can see us buying and stashing players soon. (Loans) bit like Chelsea did but with Tottenhams own dough. Too much of it to “duffle bag” away soon.
We all know that our stadium and training ground cost us a heavy price re trophies. But you have to admit they’re brilliant. Both gonna earn us plenty plenty Quids. We’ll buy our trophies. LEGALLY. YyIiDdZz
I’ll come watch you at the lamex as soon as you’ve nailed down your place.
K etete keep expressing yourself and working hard son. LISTEN TO THEM. LEARN AND WORK HARD.
Our under 18s spanking the saints. YY’s. Young yids
Just about to turn off the Brighton-Palace game.It’s like us playing ourselves.Dire.
I also like Wolves, I think their style of play is exactly the way I should like Spurs to play , and the crucial point about them is the fact they have happy and settled players within a system they are so comfortable in. It is all about that imo, we on the other hand are a disjointed mess currently, and I cant see where we are going , and our players could well be thinking the same, hence the inconsistent performances.
That’s the truth atm I was saying the other day to my mates on paper spurs, united and arsenal are better than wolves but as a team wolves are playing the best football, Sheffield prove that a good team is more important than quality individuals
