I think they were too busy having a collective **** over Lacazette's first goal at the Library to notice or even to care. And they won the Emirates Cup too, which bodes well for a 4th place finish next season <ok>

Only if they gain points through having more passes than their opponents, otherwise it could be 6th and an extension to Wenger's present contract.
 
Slightly behind schedule due to the recent ****e weather, but the day has finally arrived. Esteemed fellow Yids, the Lane is no more. That pile of rubble in the top left corner is all that's left of the South stand.

@"Thanks for that Brian" I'd recommend you pour yourself a large glass of something rather strong. In fact, pure alcohol vapour might be a better idea. This is going to hurt. A lot.

This is going to be completed in 12 months? Very ambitious deadline judging by that photo. You might well be starting off life with one end still missing, rather like Athletic Bilbao who constructed the new San Memes out of the old one, as you are constructing the yet to be named stadium out of WHL. Maybe Tottenham should have a twinning association with said Basque club as there are similarities, not only regarding stadiums but also on player recruitment in that both clubs prefer to promote youth, in Bilbao's case it is club policy, with your club it might be dictated by finances regarding the new stadium and also to some extent by the Chairman's choice.

If Levy had anything to do with the contract, which I'm sure he did, the damages the builder has to pay for being late on delivery will be mind bending. In the UK damages cannot be punitive, they have to be liquidated, i.e. proven. However, these would include but not limited to: The cost of paying at Wembley or another year, the cost of relocating and equipping THFC offices for a year, any loss from catering contacts, any loss from the Brewery not selling Spurs home brew, the salaries of people they have employed to run the new WHL, loss of income from stadium tours, legal costs, management costs, consultant costs, insurance costs etc. The list will be never ending.

As all he concrete appears to be manufactured off-site, it would be fair to invoke the no weather delays Clause (clause 41, 51 or 61, can't remember which),so providing THFC don't interfere and start changing the design, the Contractor must be finished on time because the Liquidated damages are likely to run into 10's of millions, if not a hundred million were the stadium to be late.

Who's gonna eat all that cheese? I'm worried about that cheese.
 
Was at WHL today.

With the Park Lane stand now gone ( :( ) , you can stand
there and really get a good view of how the stadium tiers
inside will look.

Personally I think we have a golden opportunity here: post a video with workmen in hi-vis vests on the site, then have them turn and remove their hard hats to reveal NEW SIGNING.
Just don't go Full Monty!! <yikes>
 
There's a food outlet in Boston called 'Cheese Boy'. My kids made me pose for a photo outside it.

Say "Cheeeeeeese!"

I'm in South France at the moment and went to a market on Sunday to get stuff to eat (the supermarket was closed) and saw this cheese stall. Tried a few things and settled on a couple of tasty lumps, and having weighed them was told the cost was 35 euros!!! The most expensive cheese I've ever bought - by a significant multiple!
