Please sir, can I have more?

That’s pretty much what most Tottenham Hotspur fans are NOT saying at the moment, and neither is the playing team as we face another multi-game week. This time AFC Bournemouth are ahead, with the Cherries within touching distance of Spurs in the Premier League table.

However, Spurs are within touching distance of the European places and they will want to put together some sort of run of performances to consolidate and eliminate the inconsistency that has plagued this team. It remains to be seen whether this is even possible with the football calendar in its current form.

Can Spurs beat Bournemouth? Absolutely. Can Spurs lose to Bournemouth? Almost certainly. Can Spurs equalize against Bournemouth? Almost certainly. Place your bets!

COYS!

Adjust thread rules

The match thread rules are the same as always. All visitors who come here for the first time are warmly welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages of this excellent site. However, while you’re here, we have a few rules and regulations:

• Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They are evil and get us into trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
• We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a negative Nancy. Don’t be knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
• In this sense, direct insults to players or match officials are not permitted. It’s okay to say “Wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to excessively berate said officer over a call you didn’t like.
• Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an unmoderated message board.
• NO SPIDERS!
• Although we don’t have a policy against profanity, please try to keep the naughty words at bay. In addition, statements that are sexist, racist, transphobic or homophobic in nature will be immediately deleted and you will be blocked immediately. This is an open, supportive community.

Have fun and COYS!
