This transfer window has felt unusually frustrating but that doesn’t mean it can’t also be educational. I enjoyed this episode on ‘How Transfer Budgets Really Work’ from OhSoSpurs.

Thinking back to when Gareth Bale switched from LB to LW under Redknapp (and the rest was history), which current Spurs player would have the most successful career if they were to switch to a different position?

BREAKING: Fabrizio Romano pinky promises that he’s really serious this time. Like really serious. #COYS #FabrizioRomano

Dear Spurs, please apply my OneHotspur+ £20 voucher towards the weekly wages of Xavi Simons. I’ll gladly forgo a few laps around the F1 track if it means we can get this deal across the finish line (F1 pun unintended).

Brain response to floating alone in the isolated depths of the ocean at night wondering if sharks are near vs Brain response to waiting on updates on Xavi Simons to Spurs

I’ve either just persuaded Simons to join Spurs or, at a minimum, we can sign his social media admin as a CB.

Curious to see 1) what our mentality is as a team this season and how Spurs respond to being down and 2) if/how Frank will adjust the game plan during the match

There’s a subset of the Spurs fanbase that I pray are not parents. How they shit on their OWN players for reasons void of logic, makes me fear they’d abandon their kid because they aren’t walking at 2 months old. “We carried this kid for 9 months and now this? What a joke!”

I’m at the US Men’s National Team match against South Korea featuring Son & Pochettino. Sonny just struck this in front of me and I’m immediately back in 2018 😍

The Johnson red card was a set piece that Frank and staff have been working on for weeks in training. #COYS

Calm…Storm. We’ll take that point at home. Next up is *checks schedule* …the only thing I disagree with Zohran Kwame Mamdani about…that team from Woolwich. #coys

I’ve thought about this moment multiple times today. Mayor Eric Adams is excited about the Fie-Fuh World Cup. From Chai-Fuh of the NYPD to mayor.

I’ve had 🎶Feliz Navidad🎶 stuck in my head since Gotham FC won the NWSL Championship on Saturday. In 2026, I think supporters need to belt this out at the 12:25 mark of each match with the intensity of Emily Sonnett.

My latest fear is that I’ll be asked to run Venezuela or Manchester United on an interim basis.

“I think it was a good sandwich. The top piece of bread: good. The bottom piece of bread: good. That part in the middle that is an old sock: maybe not the filling we would have hoped for.” - Thomas Frank if he were a manager at Subway

I support Jack Pitt-Brooke’s innovative approach to squad building shared on The View From The Lane Podcast. I don’t know if this is a question for UEFA or Ethics professors, but would they count as home grown?

No one works harder. #COYS

My favorite response to Solanke’s second goal against City comes from Rob Daly: “THE AUDACITY!!!!” #COYS 🏹🦂

Thomas Frank is the Dane that Vinai wanted. Olivia Holdt is the Dane we need. #COYS

This Gotham FC merch dump today is going to do things to my credit score. Always spending. Never finished.
