"It is an extraordinary transfer for him and for Romania. He is the fourth Romanian to arrive there and I have great confidence that he made the perfect choice”
Obviously Gica Popescu and Dumitrescu were Romanians 1&2. Pub quiz time: who was the third?
If you compare our car crash with the season our noisy neighbours are having, can they really be satisfied that 14 games in, over one third of the season gone, that they are only 6 points ahead of us.
Going along at 2.4 pts per game they are going to find it difficult to increase that pace whereas, with a full squad again we certainly should.

I figured Jrue isn’t on their time line. They prolly want youth/potential. Spurs have so much of that.
Wemby is off limits. Doesn’t make sense to trade Vassell. There are a lot of combos that might work after that. The issue is spurs & blazers are competing to be young, slightly different time lines. Best trades help both teams.
This week we chat about our late, late win against Sheffield United and send lots of love in the direction of Richarlison, Ange and the playing side of #Spurs.
@hallenbeck@spurs I think that some of the thinking on selection last weekend may be down to the internationals and how much travelling players had done. I think that Perisic and Richy may be good options against teams that sit back
Will be interesting to see how much of a horses-for-courses approach Ange takes in future. I see a lot of flexibility for solving problems up front.
I was 50/50 on the selection. Ange is unafraid to make bold, surprising selections, but what with the noise around Richy, it seemed like a gamble with a lot of downside if he'd started him and it backfired.
The story played out perfectly in the end, so all good.
I have been a Spurs supporter for quite a while, but I’m an American, and my connection to the team is not, possibly, as organic as someone who lives there.
I literally picked them. Because I was mad at some Arsenal supporters who were making antisemitic jokes on an EPL discussion board.
Then I had a roommate who supported Chelsea and I didn’t like him either.
The rest is Pascal’s Wager. Eventually it becomes emotionally real, and then instinctive.
We've looked so much more dangerous with Son at number 9. Solomon has also had a great game in his first start.
I know we're not playing City or anything, but this is the most dangerous #Spurs have looked on attack with this setup than in other games with #Richarlison at 9.
Naturally there are youngsters who assumed that when Harry went a huge name would replace him.
Life ain't like that.
Without CL football we have to build toward the next Harry.
I'm happy with Ange and the clubs trajectory. But will Danny boy keep his nerve when things get tough? He has form for overreacting.
Getting Rodrigo Bentancur fit again is like another signing.
I’d probably call the color “US Army pink”, after the drab trousers worn as part of the service dress uniform in the 1940s. There was a faint pinkish hue in the khaki. The army informally called the uniform “pinks and greens”.
Anyway, that kit is awful, and I hope I never see it again.
My take: PLEASE LET IT BE OVER SOON. I DON'T CARE EITHER WAY
(actually, i am really fascinated to see how well he does overseas, wish him nothing but success and many trophies, but I don't care insofar as #spurs are concerned - i just want the endless harry kane noise to end one way or another)
Joker likes the challenge of Wemby; he has 15 points and eight rebounds after one quarter. Wemby’s doing well, too, with 12 and six. #Nuggets 30, #Spurs 23, end of the first quarter. #NBA@nba
Fun matchup between Joker and Wemby. Joker said, “He blocked six or seven of my shots.”
But Wemby didn’t block enough. Joker finished with 42 points, 16 rebounds and six assists, and he got a lot of help from Aaron Gordon (23 points, seven boards) and Michael Porter Jr. (15 points, career-high 16 rebounds).
Wemby, meanwhile, filled up the stat sheet with 23 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists and nine blocks.
Wemby will score 35 a night when he finally realizes that a deep three early in the shot clock is a bad shot for him. #Nuggets 12, #Spurs 12, mid-first quarter. #NBA@nba
That was like making a double bogey one hole after making an eagle. Kudos to the #Spurs on the comeback. The #Nuggets need help now for the top seed in the West. 🤷♂️ #NBA@nba
