Don't have my bearings right.

From what I've seen only their number 66 (TAA) is sure to leave. I suspect their number 4 and 11 (Virgil and Mo) will renew, eventually. Of course we don't know for sure.

Not giving up completely until it becomes arithmetically beyond reach.

The kind of dilemma Spurs fans faced when they played City at home last season: win and almost secure CL football, or lose and stop us winning the league.

Agreed, a non-issue if there ever was one.

The embarrassing swaggering and strutting we see from Vance, et. al., and our reactions to them, must be just how the rest of the world saw Johnson's Britain: small-minded and insular, yet quite arrogant.

Oliver wasn't there to save them this time 😉

All round a very good servant, and I wish he had not collected so many injuries. His goal, away, against West Brom in atrocious weather conditions, is one highlight I will remember him for.

Thank you, and yes agree with both points.

Genuine question: if Trossard's left leg was outside of field of play when the ball touched his right leg to go out, should it still have been a corner, or a goal kick for Spurs? Delighted with the win, btw.

I guess so, but can't remember to be honest.
By the way, I'm glad you said diminishing happiness returns, rather than diminishing returns to happiness!
Yes, agree, the adrenaline rush is still nice, albeit of shorter length.

I bet the excitement of the most recent acceptance is still the same as it was with the first 2 in 1984.

Depends on price and weekly pay for me. If these are exorbitant then no. Sterling hasn't quite worked out at around £8m a year.

In recent years whenever my wife has travelled in with me we've won with a margin of 3 goals. But I can't persuade her to get in the queue for a ST. I know association and causation are 2 different things, I'm an economist FHS. But there's something going on and I can't explain it rationally.

Just tried to report & block, but couldn't find the account. Has it already gone?

Neither the economics nor the politics ever made any sense. The Tories allowed a belief system to wreck Britain and its people.
