Quote from: J70 on March 10, 2026, 08:56:30 PMFeel terrible for the keeper.

I don't.

He's the worst goalkeeper I've ever seen at Spurs (some accolade). Has not one single attribute that marks him out as a top flight keeper. And to top that his concentration is abysmal.

He'll be able to retire when his contract is up. And then maybe find something he's good at to do with the rest of his life.

FFS he's a 22 year old young lad. Human. With pride and feelings. Just fucked up on a massive stage, probably the biggest game of his life so far. I don't care how much money he's making, he's surely someone hoping to succeed at the highest level ans he's just blown a huge opportunity in an extremely public manner.
So at what age can you criticise an experienced player for taking a shit with his clothes on?

Where did I say you can't criticise him?

I said I felt really sorry for him.

He has a guaranteed contract of about £7m.

Personally I find it impossible to have empathy / sympathy for anyone in this situation.

The life they're so lucky to lead isn't "human".


Yet his peers are all in the exact same boat. He has to go into work today. He's probably the pride of his extended family and his community of origin.

Just because you're lucky enough and gifted enough to excel in a field that brings fame and money doesn't mean that human feelings and needs and social pressures and work responsibilities just disappear.

Yes, to a point. But the reality is he is a highly paid elite sportsman. At every level of every sport there is an expectation of a basic performance level. Have an off day, especially in the CL knockouts, and you wil be hauled ashore.

Has Tudor not a work responsibility to the other 10 players and the broader club too?

I didn't say anything about Tudor or his decision in this case.

Arsenal are the least of Spurs worries at the minute.

They should be worrying about West Ham, Forest and Leeds.

Would Beggan give it a go? :D

In Beggan we trust

Spurs are gone, not even Tim Sherwood can save them now

But it would be funnier if they appointed a club legend for the last few games, like the time Shearer took Newcastle down, that truly was the stuff PL Golden Years is made of

Thought the same but a quick google and its good news for Spurs - it has already been recorded last year.

He wouldn't have done any worse than Tudor if they'd gone for him in the first place.

Oh there is hope yet then! Assumed it was live like in Australia

Stan collymore on X few weeks back mentioned redknapp with someone like mason  doing most of the work behind the scenes. Bit like Martin at Celtic, strong figurehead etc. was gonna post here but didn't. Said to myself I've heard worse shouts. And in light of the past few weeks even more so for them now lol

Whoever steps in they're going down, its a rerun of Newcastle 2009 Villa 2016
