The HurriKane has proved his quality by beating scoring records in germany. But... I'm sorry but I will find it hilarious if Spurs win a trophy before he does :o) On the other hand, I am delighted that Dier has seized his opportunity to show his quality, as he did not deserve the contempt that some so-called Spurs 'fans' were exhibiting.

Hey Ali. I find it hard to get excited about our youth players. I see almost every other premier league club bringing their youth through, with the big clubs like Liverpool, City, Chelsea & Utd doing so successfully. When it comes to Spurs the last youth player who made the first team and became a success was Kane. We've had others like Winks & Skipp but they've both just fallen short. Whether that's just been a by-product of the many changes of managers and styles we've had, i don't know. With all the exciting youth products we seem to have I wonder why we don't trust our youth players as much as other teams do?

To understand the outrage being exhibited nowadays, I think it helps to look at road rage. Cars are supposed to help us get more quickly from A to B, so when we are held up by traffic congestion it is easy to become irritated. Add to that evident abuses by other road users (and short fuses on the part of certain individuals in certain circumstances) and one can see where road rage stems from. But now we have the increasingly rapid computer world that has raised people's expectations regarding the speed and convenience with which things are 'supposed' to be resolved. So one can see how 'rage' in general may have been fostered by the expectations of immediacy of the computer world, particularly in the context of an apparent growing sense of entitlement in modern times.

We’ve improved under Ange this season no doubt but we don’t deserve champs league, if we did we’d of taken at least 6 points out of the wolves Fulham and Newcastle games of which we took none and were dominated in all three. We could potentially lose all the next 4 and beat Burnley and Sheff Utd but still take 5th and that’s how I see it going. Europa league isn’t the end of the world and it’s also a cup we have a chance of winning…… yes levy and the boys want champs league but that’s for the money, we’d have absolutely no chance in that competition. Plus as I say we don’t deserve to be there. Villa went and won at arsenal last week, came from behind today to beat Bournemouth and the table don’t lie. We had our chance to take control of 4th but didn’t take it, so we’re best to just forget about that now, go into these next 4 big games and compete with those sides better than we did at Newcastle and we’ll see where we are. It would be typical spurs to lose 3 of the 4 but the one they win is city so it blows the title race wide open again.
@craigyp24 күн бұрын
Yes, Ange is better than a manager who didn't want to be here and threw the players and the club under a bus. The 21/22 conte was quite good though, collecting 71 points and 4th place. That is the mark Ange should be measured against, and who knows, he might better that. There's still a few games to go.
@richarddaygm24 күн бұрын
@@richarddaygm I agree mate but I do think Harry got Conte out of many sticky situations in that season and to be fair to big Ange he hasn’t had him this season and if he did we’d be at least 10 points better off for me. And also back then in that 21/22 season our main threat for 4th spot was arsenal who we beat to it and as hard as it is to say look where they are now…… We’ve got better no doubt but not to the level some fans think we have I believe, for me 5th spot and europa league is about right if you look at the season as a whole. But again you’re spot on as anything could change with these games coming up, but had we gone up to Newcastle last week and won handily I’d probably never of made this original comment in the first place haha. So this is what worries me really.

Feel like at least he could offer us the same quality as destiny driving forward and playing inverted with his quality on the ball. Great pass success rate etc. Just worried that with two full backs in Davies being a good all rounder no doubt and Emerson’s attacking qualities being his downfall, that we could get found out with this role being so important to the way we play. Sorry for going on a tangent. Thank you very much for all this great content Ali, gets me through the mornings at work!

Saw the Stockholm derby yesterday, as I support AIK. Must say, Bergvall had a bit of a stinker yesterday along with his team but they almost always lose to AIK, so it’s nothing new really. Aside from yesterday, he has been great all season. Even yesterday he had good moments too, especially when he moved a bit deeper down the pitch. Some great turns and clever passes to beat our press but overall, not a great game and partly at fault for the 2-0 goal.

He wont let Spurs down. Definitely think a good No. 9 is the top priority for Spurs this summer. If they can also get a decent No. 6 as well then that would be great.

Hi Ali, once again a good informative video. I love the way you talk about Spurs. It is annoying some times when we have such a creative team and we do not win any trophies. I have been supporting Spurs since the likes of Hoddle and Waddle graced the pitch. Cannot afford to get a season ticket, but this is the 2nd best thing. I am excited about another transfer summer with Ange at the helm. I would like to see Spurs go for an out and out striker like Ollie Watkins or Ivan Toney, someone that can header the ball into the back of the net. We have such good wide players now that I feel we need someone with a killer instinct to just finish teams off. I feel Son is a better player on the left of the front 3 rather than an out and out striker (almost like a false 9). We need someone to complement Madders in the middle and a decent 6. A Pirlo style player who can orchestrate the midfield and ping balls out left, right and centre. Hopefully we finish 4th, but if we do not then 5th would be just fine in Ange's first season. We finished 8th last season under Conte and I feel that would be an improvement ahead of Brighton and Newcastle. COYS!!!

Thanks, Ali. Werner is a tricky one; for £15mil I would take him as a squad player, mostly pleased with him so far - I've really wanted him to thrive at Tottenham - but being one of the highest earners is a turn off. Sonny can definitely play on the wing for another two years at least, imo. A number 6, a winger, striker, and a full back or two is probably what we need. What do you think about where we need to strengthen? Edit: just seen the last 20 mins. Do you know which players could come in as 6, winger, striker?

Something really odd about it being the third serious training ground injury this season, after Solomon and Perisic.

As per a Daniel Levy squad, there is no back up to Udogie - the perpetually injured Sess and the less-than-inverted Davies provide the often deployed smoke and mirrors. Or the 'small blanket' as Mourinho used to have it. And, tbh, if Werner is the height of our ambition on the left flank, Tottenhm deserves nothing. It makes no difference if Son will be redeployed next season. The bargain bin might be okay for the 36K capacity, 6-8th place regulars we were, but it's embarrassing if that is the extent of the club's ambition with this cash cow of a stadium. Is that we what spent almost a decade building this for - to buy cheap offcuts from the Bundesligue? Can we get Edgar Davids back, def more of a 'bargain' than Conor Gallagher.

Amazing that after 9/10ths of one season, you have concluded the height of ambition as Timo. Get a grip. Step away from the nonsense and see a bigger picture. Listen to what Ange has said and FFS, Timo has done a job when we've had no other options and he has actually notched a few goals, assists and has contributed. He is very very far from the worldclass kane/son combo that we're used to, but what is it you're actually expecting? Do you think we can just buy half a City type squad in one season whilst breaking in a new manager and go on to win an immediate domestic treble? Are you 10 years old?

Hello Ali Gold! Thanks for yet another informative video on the latest about Spurs. Just to pick up on a couple of things you mentioned. 1. the Taupe Haze 3rd kit (official name for the colour, cf. Chris Burns report on football.london) reminds me of Sir Alex's famous HT change of kit. With my friend (a United fan), we did some survey and most big teams with a gray kit fail to win trophies. One of them being Bayern Munich 1998/99 Champions League final. I wonder if you have better statistics. 2. Statistics and data in football get me really interested. Before watching your video, I just finished a recent one by David Sumpter (Liverpool fan and an establish applied Mathematician). It is really interesting. I put the link below for your reference. He was approached by some Premier League clubs before but it was not his beloved club. I wonder if Spurs have gone in and asked for his service. Another thing that pains me is that I was not trained in his area, otherwise I would have got a chance to speak with him in some professional capacity. kzhead.info/sun/g7R8lqidb4acfYk/bejne.htmlsi=En0BCXy5IZhX1X-9

(b) I like the boring white tops. Keeping it simple is the way to go, for me at least. But of course, aesthetics is a matter of personal taste.

Destiny is a young and learning but his form has not been great . He's cost us a few times now and maybe fatigue was setting in. I always bang the Ben Davis drum. He's so consistent and manages the defence so well. I'm not at all nervous about him playing. Our most loyal players always get the hate....why is that?

Hey Uncle Ally not commented for a while. It’s early days for some of out team so i know it’s not the finished article. Here my few thoughts. I’ve Never thought Bissouma has played great in any of our games but he has had around 2 really good games. And on Destiny I’ve never been truly happy with his defending. He makes marauding attacking runs and I love it. He makes some great tackles and has owned a lot of attackers. But on the whole he has been one of the main contributors to goals against us. He is one of the worst people defending during corners. If you noticed he just stood there during the corners for NewCastle I have to admit I’ve been more frustrated with Destiny than I’ve been happy so that my few thoughts in those two players. I’m hoping Ange eventually drops Bissouma until Bissouma gets his head in the game. And Destiny well let’s hope he recovers but I’m glad Davies is there

I don't think there's anything 'natural' about thugs targeting a player and this happens far too much in the EPL. Bentancur was rightly furious on his return from injury to see the injury targeted (I shall never forget Mackay's reaction re Bremner on coming back from a broken leg and find his fury perfectly justified). We want to see the best players on the pitch, but they're precisely the ones who are most targeted (hence Maddison's caution since his return).

Stats are like bikinis What they show you is interesting But what they don’t show you is equally as interesting
Ben Davies is built for this ready to go squad role. We’ll really miss him when he eventually leaves
He will get a job here at spurs, his family is here too.
Amen.
The HurriKane has proved his quality by beating scoring records in germany. But... I'm sorry but I will find it hilarious if Spurs win a trophy before he does :o) On the other hand, I am delighted that Dier has seized his opportunity to show his quality, as he did not deserve the contempt that some so-called Spurs 'fans' were exhibiting.
Hey Ali. I find it hard to get excited about our youth players. I see almost every other premier league club bringing their youth through, with the big clubs like Liverpool, City, Chelsea & Utd doing so successfully. When it comes to Spurs the last youth player who made the first team and became a success was Kane. We've had others like Winks & Skipp but they've both just fallen short. Whether that's just been a by-product of the many changes of managers and styles we've had, i don't know. With all the exciting youth products we seem to have I wonder why we don't trust our youth players as much as other teams do?
Because we have had managers who don’t value our youth setup, until now
@@AJBenny159 I love Ange but I'm not seeing him use our academy players more than any of the previous managers.
Santiago should 100% have been brought into the set up by now imo
It’s especially frustrating given how we could cash in on the likes of Skippy when they were still performing well. He would be a great asset to half the Prem, he’s rotting on the bench for us.
@AJBenny159 this is factually incorrect. Jose gave a lot of players their debut. Just because you didn't like those managers, doesn't mean you should blatantly lie. Ange has only given 1 academy player mins this season.
To understand the outrage being exhibited nowadays, I think it helps to look at road rage. Cars are supposed to help us get more quickly from A to B, so when we are held up by traffic congestion it is easy to become irritated. Add to that evident abuses by other road users (and short fuses on the part of certain individuals in certain circumstances) and one can see where road rage stems from. But now we have the increasingly rapid computer world that has raised people's expectations regarding the speed and convenience with which things are 'supposed' to be resolved. So one can see how 'rage' in general may have been fostered by the expectations of immediacy of the computer world, particularly in the context of an apparent growing sense of entitlement in modern times.
Love your videos, Ali. Not sure what the club thinks about you but there are so many Spurs fans who are thankful for what you do. If ever you have a patreon for extra content, I will be the first subscriber. Keep up with good work :)
Thank you.
Hi Ali, in a matchless weekend your video is a big relief for a little spurs fan of mine! I wish you and viewers a nice week.
I think Ange wants an overhaul of the first team squad and doesnt want to plug gaps with youth players. I genuinely believe he will introduce youth once he has the first team squad close to what he wants.
We’ve improved under Ange this season no doubt but we don’t deserve champs league, if we did we’d of taken at least 6 points out of the wolves Fulham and Newcastle games of which we took none and were dominated in all three. We could potentially lose all the next 4 and beat Burnley and Sheff Utd but still take 5th and that’s how I see it going. Europa league isn’t the end of the world and it’s also a cup we have a chance of winning…… yes levy and the boys want champs league but that’s for the money, we’d have absolutely no chance in that competition. Plus as I say we don’t deserve to be there. Villa went and won at arsenal last week, came from behind today to beat Bournemouth and the table don’t lie. We had our chance to take control of 4th but didn’t take it, so we’re best to just forget about that now, go into these next 4 big games and compete with those sides better than we did at Newcastle and we’ll see where we are. It would be typical spurs to lose 3 of the 4 but the one they win is city so it blows the title race wide open again.
Yes, Ange is better than a manager who didn't want to be here and threw the players and the club under a bus. The 21/22 conte was quite good though, collecting 71 points and 4th place. That is the mark Ange should be measured against, and who knows, he might better that. There's still a few games to go.
@@richarddaygm I agree mate but I do think Harry got Conte out of many sticky situations in that season and to be fair to big Ange he hasn’t had him this season and if he did we’d be at least 10 points better off for me. And also back then in that 21/22 season our main threat for 4th spot was arsenal who we beat to it and as hard as it is to say look where they are now…… We’ve got better no doubt but not to the level some fans think we have I believe, for me 5th spot and europa league is about right if you look at the season as a whole. But again you’re spot on as anything could change with these games coming up, but had we gone up to Newcastle last week and won handily I’d probably never of made this original comment in the first place haha. So this is what worries me really.
Jesus Ali, what took you so long! 😂
Cheers Ali! Excellent video as always. Really enjoyed your insights on journalism and press accreditations. Have a great week!

Great Video Ali, Keep up the good work 🤍
Gutted for Udoggie he must be heartbroken. He'll come back stronger this summer. Can't wait to see him back in the mix.
I fill really bad for Destiny . He has been one of our best players this season. Get well soon . Great video So far coys
That's a big blow for us.... Get well soon destiny
Thank You!
Ali, big and huge amount of respect for you and your style in the way you report honestly and your opinion which does make for a debate at times. Though like you say? It’s what is all about. Keep being yourself buddy and to hell with anyone who asks of you to change. Moreso I like you coz you’re a true Spurs fan. COYS
We just can't catch a break now, can we? I feel so sorry for Udogie that he'll not only miss our end of the season, but also the Euros. He's such a vital cog in the Ange machine. Mind you, in a world when Dier helps keep a clean sheet against that lot in the UCL, and Kane scoring a free kick goal over the weekend, something weird is bound to happen in the NLD, like a Werner hattrick or Vicario scoring a winner in injury time...
I loved every second of this Ali X155
Hi Ali, Just wanted to say been watching your videos for a while now and absolutely love them as a Spurs fan. They help me feel connected with the club and be able to absorb everything Spurs. I’ve recently in my spare time begun to write articles about football when im not working on my geography degree. It’s something i have really enjoyed and just wondered if you had any advice on how i could take it further leading to potentially long term working within sports journalism. Thanks Matt COYS
Thanks for the video, Ali. My fave shirt was the 'seatbelt' one - looked really nice and happy memories. I'm quite pessimistic of our ability to actually move players out this summer, to enable incomings. The European clubs can't afford our players, and Premier League/Championship clubs are nervous about FFP.
The new kit brings back memories of first supporting spurs here in Canada, what a team that was
No plans to put micky at left back given his previous experience playing the role at Wolfsburg? Feel like at least he could offer us the same quality as destiny driving forward and playing inverted with his quality on the ball. Great pass success rate etc. Just worried that with two full backs in Davies being a good all rounder no doubt and Emerson’s attacking qualities being his downfall, that we could get found out with this role being so important to the way we play. Sorry for going on a tangent. Thank you very much for all this great content Ali, gets me through the mornings at work!
Saw the Stockholm derby yesterday, as I support AIK. Must say, Bergvall had a bit of a stinker yesterday along with his team but they almost always lose to AIK, so it’s nothing new really. Aside from yesterday, he has been great all season. Even yesterday he had good moments too, especially when he moved a bit deeper down the pitch. Some great turns and clever passes to beat our press but overall, not a great game and partly at fault for the 2-0 goal.
Oh Ali, can't believe Destiny's season is over, gutted for him and us of course, not what we need, but wish him a speedy recovery. Thank you as always Ali. #COYS
Ali you bring some good stats regarding Werner, but on the face of it there is no way he justifies being one of our top earners. I think any potential permanent signing would need a wages renegotiation with him.
Agreed.
Udogie has been superb. Gutted for him, spurs and his euro chances, he's been as integral as vdv.. I wonder if this could open the door for 3 at the back bringing Timo in as a LM (further away from goal) 343 - at least without cups Ange will have time to bed in a decent solution... One thing positive is that spurs injury crisis this season has galvanised team performances
Or even 352 against the more powerful teams. You still have your three midfielders and then you can have Sonn and Richarlson running at defenses
Looking forward to next season now
Some sports shops in Toronto, Canada already have the home kit in stock. Due to be released in July.
Destiny seems like a very grounded fella which makes me even more excited for what he'll bring to the team in the future
Thanks for the video Dr Alasdair. My medical knowledge is definitely improved by your summary of the Destiny injury. Unfortunately it has been a season dominated by injuries and suspensions for Spurs - and no trophies. Anyway, I would go with Ben Davies for the left full back role for the rest of the season. He wont let Spurs down. Definitely think a good No. 9 is the top priority for Spurs this summer. If they can also get a decent No. 6 as well then that would be great.
Thank you
The issue with Werner at Spurs is the same as it was at Chelsea, he gets a big pay cheque but doesn't score enough goals to justify it, keep him if he takes a pay cut. I think Son needs a contract extension and I just wish he'd take more shots from outside the box. Manchester United got lucky against Coventry, thanks for the update, take care of yourself and enjoy.
Really sad news about Destiny, great miss in our line up 😒 hope you recover soon and
Get back to full fitness
People writing the lads off. I fancy chances against Liverpool, Arsenal and City. They don’t play deep which suits our style, and they’ll be playing for three points. Bring it on.
Yes Dear...
Hi Ali, once again a good informative video. I love the way you talk about Spurs. It is annoying some times when we have such a creative team and we do not win any trophies. I have been supporting Spurs since the likes of Hoddle and Waddle graced the pitch. Cannot afford to get a season ticket, but this is the 2nd best thing. I am excited about another transfer summer with Ange at the helm. I would like to see Spurs go for an out and out striker like Ollie Watkins or Ivan Toney, someone that can header the ball into the back of the net. We have such good wide players now that I feel we need someone with a killer instinct to just finish teams off. I feel Son is a better player on the left of the front 3 rather than an out and out striker (almost like a false 9). We need someone to complement Madders in the middle and a decent 6. A Pirlo style player who can orchestrate the midfield and ping balls out left, right and centre. Hopefully we finish 4th, but if we do not then 5th would be just fine in Ange's first season. We finished 8th last season under Conte and I feel that would be an improvement ahead of Brighton and Newcastle. COYS!!!
Are the away kits and third kits tested during the design stage to see how clearly the players can ‘pick out’ their team mates on the pitch and against the crowds because I reckon the current away kit is not a good colour for this reason.. 😩 COYS..!!
Thanks, Ali. Werner is a tricky one; for £15mil I would take him as a squad player, mostly pleased with him so far - I've really wanted him to thrive at Tottenham - but being one of the highest earners is a turn off. Sonny can definitely play on the wing for another two years at least, imo. A number 6, a winger, striker, and a full back or two is probably what we need. What do you think about where we need to strengthen? Edit: just seen the last 20 mins. Do you know which players could come in as 6, winger, striker?
Another good video mate personally I would keep werner you are very balanced with your views that is why your my favourite
I think we already have too many squad options. We need solid starters this summer...
Ben Davies might make us a bit more solid at the back
We are playing clubs in the run in that will attack us, so solid defence with Sonny counter attacking may suit us.
Hey Ali question: How many signings do you think we’ll make this summer ? Also how many outgoings ? I think we’ll find Ange is gonna be ruthless which is why he keeps his distance from players.
The new kit looks nice
Hi 👋 Ali. Feel bad for destiny but that’s footy I guess. Davies has filled in brilliantly all year. I think he’ll be more than capable.
Fave shirt, 91 Holsten Fa Cup season or the Yellow 91-95 Umbro. Klinsmann on the back if it is that one. Also, throw Mikey Right Wing on Sunday
Maybe play Van de Ven in Udogies place and put Dragusin alongside Romero ?
Won’t happen
Another fantastic and informative video Alasdair
Hey Ali, there's this notion going on about kulusevski that he's not an Ange player or winger so he should be sold which I don't agree on Can you ask Ange about him in the pre match as to what he thinks about his form, him being benched and does he agree on that he's not an Ange winger so maybe Ange wants to play him in the madders position? It's all very confusing on deki since he's benched which I feel is unfair on him a bit
Guy like him keeps the ball but isn’t who Ange wants getting in on the back of crosses
I think Davies has that extra bit experience wise so not worried about him however club player for Europe with Alfie and Skipp we 2 more for senior squad which is a serious prob 2 under 21 will have to go in as adults no chance Parrot or Tanganga are in squad
best ending of tyhe weekend:) Golden hour
I don’t know why the fans on Twitter are freaking out about Son. Son as a striker: 19 apps 12goals 5 assists Son as a winger: 10 apps 3 goals 4 assists Wherever he ends up he’ll do great. For me personally I would love to see a 6 a striker and fullback coverage for next season
Something really odd about it being the third serious training ground injury this season, after Solomon and Perisic. Mourinho always used to make his training ground sessions deliberately low intensity, so as not to unnecessarily exhaust or damage the players. I'm not sure Ange's high intensity routines are working out particularly well.
As a Man United fan, the thought of only 3 serious training ground injuries sounds like nirvana. Good luck v Arsenal. :)
Hi Ali, Do you know if Porro is fit for NLD? he went off with a hamstring strain last game; Apologies if you mention it later.
Sad for Destiny’s injury…but for a premier league debut season can’t wait to see him fulfill his potential
As per a Daniel Levy squad, there is no back up to Udogie - the perpetually injured Sess and the less-than-inverted Davies provide the often deployed smoke and mirrors. Or the 'small blanket' as Mourinho used to have it. And, tbh, if Werner is the height of our ambition on the left flank, Tottenhm deserves nothing. It makes no difference if Son will be redeployed next season. The bargain bin might be okay for the 36K capacity, 6-8th place regulars we were, but it's embarrassing if that is the extent of the club's ambition with this cash cow of a stadium. Is that we what spent almost a decade building this for - to buy cheap offcuts from the Bundesligue? Can we get Edgar Davids back, def more of a 'bargain' than Conor Gallagher.
Wow, talk about depressing!!!
You're right😢
The joys of swapping managers do often I think we are forgetting it’s not even a season of ange and two windows. Will reserve judgment till we have had a couple more windows to get competition in more positions. But sure if some want or expect to much to soon.
Amazing that after 9/10ths of one season, you have concluded the height of ambition as Timo. Get a grip. Step away from the nonsense and see a bigger picture. Listen to what Ange has said and FFS, Timo has done a job when we've had no other options and he has actually notched a few goals, assists and has contributed. He is very very far from the worldclass kane/son combo that we're used to, but what is it you're actually expecting? Do you think we can just buy half a City type squad in one season whilst breaking in a new manager and go on to win an immediate domestic treble? Are you 10 years old? Have you been playing too much FIFA? Seriously... Wtf?
@@robharwood-stamper9857 LOL. You areee with me about Werner, and then start shouting at traffic out your window.
We shouldve kept Reggy
My first thoughts
My Alasdair Gold-y sense was tingling for a new video. I wonder if I was bitten by a radioactive spurs fan recently…
Some game Coventry Vs United. Still remember us loosing the FA Cup Final against them. I was really sick with chicken pocs so was a bad week all round. At least Man Utd got revenge for us 😂
Am I missing something? What was the difference between VDVs goal against arsenal (not allowed offside) & Bowen’s goal against us(allowed) both shots on goal that bounced twice off of defenders
We should really go all in for signing a versatile offensive player like Albert Gudmundsson or Jonathan David. They both got pace and skill. Allso we need a backup for Porro - I would personally resign Kyle Walker-Peters and maybe have a go at Lloyd Kelly for the left side defender backup. And I would like a player like Conor Gallagher or Szymanski from Fenerbahce for the midfield. Ivan Toney would be fantastic in the current system... But I'm affraid we're out of that race.
45:51 I thought Kimmich was Player of the Match? But not to take away from Dier. It was nice. Yeah, nice, nice, nice...
QUESTION: Did I miss your answer to my previous question, or did you miss it??!! So here it is again: What is the latest news on the stadium naming rights. Many thanks
Hello Ali Gold! Thanks for yet another informative video on the latest about Spurs. Just to pick up on a couple of things you mentioned. 1. the Taupe Haze 3rd kit (official name for the colour, cf. Chris Burns report on football.london) reminds me of Sir Alex's famous HT change of kit. With my friend (a United fan), we did some survey and most big teams with a gray kit fail to win trophies. One of them being Bayern Munich 1998/99 Champions League final. I wonder if you have better statistics. 2. Statistics and data in football get me really interested. Before watching your video, I just finished a recent one by David Sumpter (Liverpool fan and an establish applied Mathematician). It is really interesting. I put the link below for your reference. He was approached by some Premier League clubs before but it was not his beloved club. I wonder if Spurs have gone in and asked for his service. Another thing that pains me is that I was not trained in his area, otherwise I would have got a chance to speak with him in some professional capacity. kzhead.info/sun/g7R8lqidb4acfYk/bejne.htmlsi=En0BCXy5IZhX1X-9
we need a monster 6 in the summer
Alasdair for weekend football what position did you play just curious also do still play or busy reporting
Unfortunately just play midweek five-a-side now due to work. I'm a number 10 type striker. Think Teddy Sheringham with even less pace.
Hello everyone, Alasdair Gold here with another episode of "It doesnt work like that"
Ali will Ange try to spend over to many positions I think u right a 6 and 9 premium cost though and could that be a chance lost and if we had to choose 1 lb or 1 rb we’re do we go for and we don’t need an 8 don’t need a expensive cb I feel Ange is more about group than 2 players who could put u over the line
Hi Alistair this VAR is getting worse I thought Coventry were hard done by the player must have had to much polish on his boots and Notts Forrest had three pens turned down you would have thought at least 1 would have been given.
Chat on the radio this morning was all about the VAR official being a Luton supporter... VAR is a disaster in its current state, it needs scaling back, used for off ball incidents, scrap VAR offsides and give power back to referee's who should be able to ask VAR to verify important decisions and cards issued, otherwise let the refereea manage the games. VAR hasn't eradicated contentious decisions, it's just added to them. It's made a mess of the game
Sad for Udogie he’s a star in the making, but his performances have been poor lately and I’d be happy to see Davies come back and hopefully stop us leaking hat fulls of goals in every game
A great shame for Destiny, he's handled the various challenges this season really well, and a place in the Euros would have been a suitable reward. Not to mention great experience. But over the years Davies has proved that In Ben We Trust My all time favourite shirt has always been and probably always will be the 1981 Le Coq Sportif v-neck with the centrally placed cockerel. It just oozed class, like Hoddle when he wore it And yeah, Man U v Cov was one of the great FA Cup ties, but you can't watch every game
Hi Ali, thank you for another video. A few points, if I may: (a) I believe the first time that they wore the next season's jersey on the last game of the current season was the 1991 FA Cup Final where short shorts were replaced by knee-length ones which set a trend that is still ongoing. (b) I like the boring white tops. Keeping it simple is the way to go, for me at least. But of course, aesthetics is a matter of personal taste. (c) I have re-purposed the old Dele Alli song and I hope you like it. If fellow fans like it, perhaps it will catch on. Feel free to make any changes: We've got Ali Goldie Ali He makes all Spurs fans understand His videos are for free He gives all Spurs fans glee We've got Goldie Ali.
Love Ali but he brings more sorrow than joy historically
@joshdavis3873 If that were true, it could only have been because the team wasn't in a good place, which it wasn't for several years. In fact, I think he provided solace in times of distress. But feel free to change the lyrics to the song if you disagree 😁
Ali - opinions on the Chelsea journalist clashing with Poch? Seems like Poch had a right to be annoyed at the questions he was getting.
I really like those potental kits except the underarms/sides being navy. I don't love that
Villa now six points clear and with the fixtures we have to come and one of best players this season out for the duration I think CL in now unlikely. That said if we think back to the last game of last season with the Stereophonics singing "I dont know where we are going now" and HK doing a slow lap of honour I would have bitten your hand off for where we are now. Patience and perspective is needed now and for a wee while yet imo.
If it right udogie out and Ange drops Bissouma we might be in with a chance Sunday
I have eyes and I can confirm that Werner is not up to the job. 😅
The new Kit for 2024/25 season if correct I personally not a fan prefer an all white shirt Blue shorts as is traditional with THFC
Exactly!! Lily white all the way!
I’d be happy as long as we beat Arsenal. What will happen to Skipp? It’s a shame he was never utilized as a 6 which he is. Ange didn’t even mention his name when he was asked about Skipp.
Being a reserve GK must be a weird one - do you drop a level to play and maybe then still not be no1 unless drop several levels - or do you stay and train knowing helping the team and training at a high level every day - then the money side that maybe only 3rd or 4th tier def get games and be in fraction of the money - as a fan in my 40s being a no3 GK would have been ideal job but when younger would I have wanted to play - it’s must be tough mentally unlike other postions where can be a sub and def get appearances at sone level of game
For me Emerson is best LB options closest to Udogie we have. Dragusin is goods to see him for a few hard games how he will do. With Davies he can be more as 3 CB which will make us play more like City with 3 Cbs and only one IFB comming in midfield.
I’m impressed with your anatomy Ali 👏🏼 you’ve grown so much from the days of “muscle injury”🥲
I am staggered by the number and nature of training injuries Spurs are picking up (and not just this season). It surely suggests the players are being subjected to excessive strain during training (and/or insufficient awareness of the physical perils of such strain).
Players are not fit enough. They think they are but they are not. It takes 2 or 3 proper preseasons to get fit enough for your body to get used to the training load. Players should be as fit as 1500m runners.

I saw Mikey Moore highlights v Chelsea U18's, I think Spurs won 3-2. He had a mind-blowing game.
Top talent, but he has the same problem as Gil, very very little but he is only 15 so may be he will grown into a Mike Tyson winger alike Hulk.
@@zhilong Yes he's not bouncing off challenges ala Maradona, but looks a bit more solid than Gil. Will be interesting to see a snippet of training from Spurs to see if there's any position Ange favoured him in.
Didn't MU banned an MEN reporter this season
Do u remember crystal Palace match in the 1st half they targeted Davies with Ayew and Ange subbed him at half time.... remember....exactly !!
The one he was struggling with a knock in the first half of and came off injured at half-time? Didn't feature in the next squad because of it.
Hey alli why is Mikey moore then training with the first team and missing the under 18 game dosent make sense to me unless the manager might be considering using him younger players have played in the PL before I think donely will make the break trough next season
The experience as part of his development really.
I thought that the one benefit of not playing this week was no bad news…little did I know…😢
Re clubs not pulling press passes, how did United stop ESPN, Sky, the Mirror and the Manchester Evening News from getting into their press conference? Happened this season
Press conferences are a different thing to matches. I guess a particular reporter could be banned from one of those but they're pretty easy to pick up afterwards so hardly an incentive to be overly nice to a club.
No offence to Brandon Austin but he needs to move on! 25 and time is ticking away for him to have any kind of career!
Destiny is a young and learning but his form has not been great . He's cost us a few times now and maybe fatigue was setting in. I always bang the Ben Davis drum. He's so consistent and manages the defence so well. I'm not at all nervous about him playing. Our most loyal players always get the hate....why is that?
Hey Uncle Ally not commented for a while. It’s early days for some of out team so i know it’s not the finished article. Here my few thoughts. I’ve Never thought Bissouma has played great in any of our games but he has had around 2 really good games. And on Destiny I’ve never been truly happy with his defending. He makes marauding attacking runs and I love it. He makes some great tackles and has owned a lot of attackers. But on the whole he has been one of the main contributors to goals against us. He is one of the worst people defending during corners. If you noticed he just stood there during the corners for NewCastle I have to admit I’ve been more frustrated with Destiny than I’ve been happy so that my few thoughts in those two players. I’m hoping Ange eventually drops Bissouma until Bissouma gets his head in the game. And Destiny well let’s hope he recovers but I’m glad Davies is there
Alex?
Blue reference.. Do you think Harry Kane will be ….. “ back someday “ ? 😳😳🤣🤣 ( yes I had to google Blue songs 😂 )
Boring

I don't think there's anything 'natural' about thugs targeting a player and this happens far too much in the EPL. Bentancur was rightly furious on his return from injury to see the injury targeted (I shall never forget Mackay's reaction re Bremner on coming back from a broken leg and find his fury perfectly justified). We want to see the best players on the pitch, but they're precisely the ones who are most targeted (hence Maddison's caution since his return).
Have you heard anything about Ndidi from Leicester on a free? Did very well under Rodgers in a possession based team & would give us more physicality in the middle
Ali not doctor... Mind Blown 😅
Stats are like bikinis What they show you is interesting But what they don’t show you is equally as interesting
5th spot ain’t getting UCL
Forgot to say …… EHYYYYY 👍🏻
