Tottenham 2018-19: The New Stadium

[Captain Ron 12866]

 

The Pochettino drama is behind us, so time to look ahead to the coming year. A new stadium, continuing to build on the progress that the team has made, it's going to be a big year.

COYS!

[mr. littlejeans 184]

great ad.

[Captain Ron 12866]

A new year gets new jerseys.

 

 

The home is ok. Not a fan of the sleeves of the "away" or 3rd jerseys though. And totally not a fan of the color of the 3rd at all.

[mr. littlejeans 184]

the third is the only one i actually like. not a fan of the gradient on the home jersey and away sleeves.

[Schulz2.0 28951]

I like the home jersey. I don’t like the light blue in the away and third jerseys.

[Schulz2.0 28951]

Dan Kilpatrick of The Evening Standard is reporting that Kane is close to signing a new deal that will pay him around £200k/week. There’s also a lot of smoke that we’ve bid for CM/AM Jack Grealish of Aston Villa. Villa reportedly want £30-40m for him, but they really need money right now and we think we can get him for £15-20m.

[Schulz2.0 28951]

Club has announced that Kane signed a new contract.

[Captain Ron 12866]

I don't know how this works out without moving some players to ManU. We will see..

We wanted Martial to be part of the Toby talks. Man U didn’t want to sell Martial to a competitor. Oh the irony...

looks like levy has decided to break the wage structure for more than the team.

If we can get him for cheap, I think he’d be a good Eriksen backup that can play some CM.

yep. considering villa was asking £40MM before their financial issues were fully brought to light this is a low risk endeavor.

I'm looking at going to the Man City game on 10/27.  How much movement is there in the schedule?  

[kingkoopa6 8345]

^^ rarely changes.

 

DO IT! Champions League 22/23 as well.

[WBT 20561]

That boxing day doubleheader is going to be rough.  That's the EPL for you, always sabotaging their teams with no winter break.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Look forward to playing at yall’s new stadium. Maybe we get lucky.

There isn't much schedule movement before the new year. The EPL teams won't be engaged with the FA Cup or EFL Cup. And European Cup play only affects Europa teams due to Thursday games. That game should be good.

[midtown 3345]

Great.  My buddy and I were going to spend 3 days in London.  Take in a game and then go to Scotland.  

[Schulz2.0 28951]

We reportedly have an agreement in place to sign 24 year old DM/CM Wilmar Barrios of Boca Juniors. He’s a Colombian international. His release clause is €16m. Pochettino reportedly personally asked for him to be signed.

Definitely want to try to get to a game at the new stadium in the Fall. How far out do they typically announce the official day / time for the games? I know it says Spurs are slated to play City the weekend 27-Oct, but all games on the fixture list are currently scheduled for "Saturday at 3:00pm". I assume that game could be played on Saturday, Sunday or Monday (primetime), which would impact my travel plans.

Any guidance based on prior experience would be appreciated.

October 23/24 is a CL group match day so pretty good chance the game gets moved to a Sunday. But probably not likely to get moved to Monday.

I have a similar question.

And what's going on the weekend of October 13?  Is that an international week?

[kingkoopa6 8345]

^^ normally is. 

 

I remember cuz usa shit the bed on oct 10 2017

[scottonian 36]

Looking at last year as a frame of reference...

• Sat 9 Sep - PL @ Everton (7 Sat, 2 Sun, 1 Mon [West Ham vs Huddersfield] games)
• Wed 13 Sep - UCL vs Dortmund
• Sat 16 Sep - PL vs Swansea (1 Fri [Bournemouth vs Brighton], 7 Sat, 2 Sun games)
• Tue 19 Sep - Cup vs Barnsley
• Sat 23 Sep - PL @ West Ham (8 Sat, 1, Sun, 1 Mon [Arsenal vs West Brom] games)
• Tue 26 Sep - UCL @ APOEL
• Sat 30 Sep - PL @ Huddersfield (7 Sat, 3 Sun games)
• Int'l Break
• Sat 14 Oct - PL vs Bournemouth (7 Sat, 2 Sun, 1 Mon [Leicester vs West Brom] games)
• Tue 17 Oct - UCL @ Madrid
• Sun 22 Oct - PL vs Liverpool (1 Fri [West Ham vs Brighton], 7 Sat, 2 Sun games)
• Wed 25 Oct - Cup vs West Ham
• Sat 28 Oct - PL @ ManU (7 Fri, 2 Sun, 1 Mon [Burnley vs Newcastle] games)
• Wed 1 Nov - UCL vs Madrid
• Sun 5 Nov - PL vs Palace (6 Sat, 4 Sun games)

Seems like PL schedules 1 game for Friday or Monday most weeks although it was usually shit teams last year. Doesn't seem to be any correlation between Champions League / League Cup day and Premier League day (Spurs had Wed / Sat, Tue / Sat, Tue / Sun and Wed / Sun above).

added league cup fixtures

[Captain Ron 12866]

I wouldn't book dates in the fall getting moved all that much. It's probably a lot more about Europa league than UCL. Of course TV is involved.  Full information can be found here:

And they provide a link to the digital calendar too.

Seriously, who was having season flashbacks as FUCKING SANCHEZ was getting burned left and right during the Japan game?

Careful, some people here don't like it when you criticize Sanchez.

 

But yeah, serious flashbacks to the second half of league play.

[DeepEastTexas 640]

Kane going after the Golden Boot.  If England keeps it up, he has a good chance to be leading the race after Sunday.

[scottonian 36]

After all teams have played two games, here are the standings:

1. Kane, 5 goals
2. Lukaku & Ronaldo, 4 goals
3. Costa & Cheryshev, 3 goals

Looks like all five of those guys are going to the knockouts, so it's definitely up for grabs.

They'll need to keep an eye out for Rojo, but these guys, plus a steady Coutinho should be the ones to keep an eye on. Griezmann would be the only guy without 3 or more goals right now that I could see exploding in a couple of games and being right up with Kane. Some might also say "Neymar", but he's too much of a cunt to last long enough to pass Kane.

[DeepEastTexas 640]

Kane is on the right side of the bracket to get a couple of more matches in.  I hope he stays in form.

could be tough since he's got to deal with davinson in the next match. 🤣

LOL.

 

Saw this late last week, forgot to post it

And Jan was posting the souvenirs he picked up in Russia last week.

[mr. littlejeans 184]

strong showing from the spurs contingent today. hopefully the doubts about davinson being our centre back of the future were also assuaged. thought he was outstanding today and the more i watch trippier and walker play together the more i think we were right to let kyle leave.

Agreed. Sanchez played well, and Trippier is on the ascent.  Looks like a good decision letting Kyle go, especially after that near fuck up by him late in the match.
