Maybe? But it seems to be popping on Twitter/X a bit more this year. Hopefully it's nothing.

So far I haven’t seen anyone cited other than PFTCommenter on this so I’m gonna be keeping my powder dry before worrying too much about it.

At a time in life when many in his situation are looking simplify tax and or estate issues, this story if true, would seem to suggest he has great doctors and is an optimist.

It could be worse, he could really like hoops and hate Mark Cuban.

It would be something if this goes thru and all of a sudden North Londoners are grappling with the reality of finding themselves on the same side as obnoxious Texans in 10 gallon hats.

How's everyone feeling about Spurs and Ange at the moment? The injuries are real, but some of that has to be assigned to Ange and staff for minimal rotation. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but the non-use of Spence is problematic. Seems to me they rushed both CBs back and now they'll have to take their medicine and sit them for another period before giving it another go.

I thought Son was abjectly terrible yesterday, and while some of the wisdom re Son is that you have to play him through his rough patches, he's getting close to the age where you maybe don't want to let him play through it. Nevertheless, Spurs are forced to because of Odebert and Moore's injuries (what is Moore's injury BTW?). With Johnson going down, we may be seeing a lot more of Deki at RW, forcing Madders back into the 10. Maybe a good problem to force the hand, but certainly going to put more miles on the players and reduce tactical flexibility.

Will be interesting to see where the season goes from here. If Spurs crash out of cups and are still mid-table, I do think Levy will consider moving on, even if it's not something I agree with. Spurs have lurched to and fro too much these last 5 years, and they need some stability, but if the feeling in the board room is that Ange has found his ceiling and this isn't a squad issue, they'll be ruthless to cut him IMO.

Feels like Ange needs a younger squad and a deeper squad to play his very-high-line, very-high-risk-and-high-reward style. For just one example, van de Ven's pace at CB has let Ange cheat much further forward, knowing that vdV can sprint back and catch up with a counter. But.... if he keeps going down with hammy pulls, like he did this weekend, it's going to shorten his career.

I agree that Son is teetering on the edge of his pace deserting him. It happened to Vardy much later than I thought it would, and he's got enough nous and balls that he's having a good season anyway (by most lower-half-sides' strikers' standards).

But... again, maybe the solution with a squad like Ange has, is to not make them play like Westphal's Nuggets, for 38 league fixtures, plus cups, plus Europe.
