(Photo by Crystal Pix/MB Media/Getty Images) Tottenham were even more depleted and Newcastle United took full advantage, though their victory in north London should have been more convincing. Illness to Fraser Forster meant a first-team debut for Brandon Austin, who joined Spurs in 2007. He didn’t do anything hilariously awful against Newcastle, so he appears to be an upgrade and should probably start over Forster moving forward. The game pretty much went just how we expected it would. Spurs had the occasional bright spark...

Spurs reject enquiry from Sevilla for teenager

Archie Gray of Tottenham Hotspur during the UEFA Europa League 2024/25 League Phase MD3 match between Tottenham Hotspur and AZ at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 24, 2024 in London, England. According to a fresh report out of the Spanish media, Spurs have rejected an enquiry from Sevilla sporting director Victor Orta, to bring in Archie Gray on loan in the January transfer window. Orta was previously sporting director of Leeds United, and whilst Gray’s proper breakthrough into the first team came the season after he departed the club in the summer of 2023, there is no doubt the 46-year old will be aware of Gray from his time at the Yorkshire club. The report suggests that Orta saw an opportunity due to the teenagers “lack of game time” at Spurs so far. Whilst he perhaps hasn’t playe...

Spurs expected team vs Qarabag – Mikey Moore decision amid Postecoglou changes

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou must decide how many changes he makes to his team to face Qarabag in the Europa League Ange Postecoglou has to balance his changes for Tottenham's Europa League clash against Qarabag on Thursday evening. The Spurs boss made eight changes to his starting XI for the Carabao Cup tie against Coventry and the disjointed performance almost cost the north London side their place in the fourth round. With that in mind, Postecoglou will be wary of making as many alterations for the visit of the Azerbaijani side to N17 even though it is only the first of eight matches at this stage in the large new league format. Postecoglou could hand minutes to Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr and he might also decide to hand 17-year-old Mikey Moore hi...
