Wisden in the New York Times - natural bedfellows, I always thought nytimes.com/athletic/64974…

Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack — the world’s longest-running sports book — has been published every year from 1864; through war, disease & several enforced cancellations of cricket itself. Here's my look at its place in the sporting & collectibles' worlds: nytimes.com/athletic/64974…

Yeah no dressing up this one is there, it’s really fucking bad. Prob the must humiliated we have been in years. Levy’s Tottenham

A window that should have delivered so much more than it has by this point. Plenty of talk but Thomas Frank's squad just isn't strong enough at this point. It's also another public embarrassment in the market. Spurs need to react strongly for Frank's sake as much as the fans.

Only Tottenham could manage to in the space of a matter of hours, not only piss off their entire fanbase but most likely the striker who scored twice at the weekend in the process

People didn’t want to get behind 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐦 protest on Saturday because we were linked with Eze and Savinho. There shouldn’t be a single moment of respite for Levy until he’s no longer here. He’s been the common denominator for 25 years, yet it’s always someone else’s fault.

The Tottenham way: - Win a glorious trophy after years of failure - Sack the manager - Buy one (1) player - Spend a week haggling over details for a player you desperately need and watch as your fiercest rivals walk past you and get it done in three (3) hours

"So we just hang on for another couple of days... blah blah... then we'll get home for six quid less... blah blah... might throw in Bryan Gil too... blah blah blah..."

Maybe time for for DL to just do the pop shows , the boxing , the NFL and the fucking go carts or whatever is that they do down there …leave the actual football to someone else ?

Spurs have been wary of the Eze deal for a while but reality is the biggest clubs are decisive when they need to be. Maddison injured 2.5 weeks ago — they had time. Instead Arsenal get that touch of unpredictability they need. Spurs left scrambling in a really key position.

The Dukes cricket ball dates back to 1760 when shoemaker and avid cricketer Timothy Duke established Duke & Sons and began making balls as a cottage industry at Penshurst, Kent. The company received a royal warrant in 1775 and, at the 1851 Great Exhibition, their triple-sewn

The rift at Nottingham Forest is Nuno-Edu. And it's a big one, described to me as broken/unfixable. That, of course, has left Marinakis in an incredibly difficult position. It's not a good situation, I'm afraid. #NFFC Full background via The Athletic | Football: nytimes.com/athletic/65695…

Read this and you can fully understand why Thomas Frank said he only wants players who want to play for Spurs… nytimes.com/athletic/65681…

#OnThisDay in 2000, Steve James scored 309 not out against Sussex at Colwyn Bay, which at the time was Glamorgan's highest individual score 👏👏👏 #OhGlammyGlammy

Tottenham’s press yesterday was perfect, and Frank seems to be an expert at devising game plans against the best sides in the world. Now, it’s up to those above him to sign a No 10-type to equip Frank with the tools to beat every kind of team #THFC nytimes.com/athletic/65711…

Thanks for the responses to this. As many have pointed out it goes beyond football and sports writing. The capitulation to 'content' and hits is turning writing itself into a 'cost burden,' an anachronism. Scrutiny and objectivity will suffer. observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…

Many congrats on this ⁦Tim Percival⁩ and looking forward to reading it….
