🚨 VAN DE VEN INJURY CONCERN

Micky van de Ven was forced off during the Netherlands’ 2–1 Nations League win over Serbia yesterday after his left hand was stood on by Luka Jović.

Van de Ven initially continued with his fingers strapped before being withdrawn late on. Early reports suggest the injury may not be as serious as first feared, but ⚠️ Tottenham have NOT yet confirmed a diagnosis or his availability for Saturday.

With Jan Paul van Hecke already returning from Netherlands duty with a foot injury, Spurs could have a defensive headache ahead of Old Trafford.

🇳🇱 INTERNATIONAL SPURS

Antonín Kinský made his senior Czech Republic debut in their 3–1 defeat to Spain.

Andy Robertson celebrated his 100th Scotland cap as Scotland beat North Macedonia 2–0.

Mathys Tel also scored for France U21s as they qualified for next summer’s European U21 Championship.

👩🏻 SPURS WOMEN — TOUGH DAY

Tottenham 1–6 London City Lionesses

Spurs suffered their first WSL defeat of the season at Brisbane Road.

Victoria Pelova scored Spurs’ consolation, but Alexia Putellas and Kadidiatou Diani both struck twice for London City.

Martin Ho admitted Spurs were “nowhere near the levels we expect” and said the result “has to be a wake-up call”.

Spurs remain without a Premier League win after five matches, with just two points collected.

🔎 TRANSFER WATCH

No significant confirmed transfer developments today. January speculation continues, but nothing credible enough to report as concrete Spurs business.

⚪️🔵 The international break is turning into a crucial week for Tottenham — injury assessments, regrouping and preparation for a massive trip to Old Trafford.

COYS! ⚪️🔵

There’s an interesting perspective doing the rounds from Sir Alex Ferguson, looking back at Manchester City’s rise and the infamous Carlos Tevez transfer.

In 2009, City signed Tevez from United and put up the now-iconic “Welcome to Manchester” billboard. Ferguson famously responded by calling City “a small club with a small mentality.”

At the time, City’s new financial power was already changing the transfer landscape. Ferguson spoke about players being attracted by salaries United and others couldn’t or wouldn’t match, including Emmanuel Adebayor.

Fast-forward, and the Premier League’s financial-rule case against City has inevitably changed the way some people look back at that period.

But there’s an important distinction: historical allegations and investigations should not be treated as proof of wrongdoing. City have denied financial wrongdoing and have maintained that they have evidence supporting their position.

What makes the Tevez story fascinating is that, regardless of where you stand on the wider financial debate, his move genuinely represented a shift in the balance of power in Manchester.

United were used to being the dominant force.

Suddenly, City were competing for the same players — and making sure everyone knew about it.

And that billboard?

Football banter at its absolute finest. 😂

The rivalry certainly changed after that.

Welcome to Manchester. 🔵🔴

🤍🖤🤍 FULL TIME | PBU U14 WHITES 2–1 WARE YOUTH U14 WHITES 🤍🖤🤍🖤

What a result! 🥳💪🏻

A fantastic team performance from the boys today, showing composure, confidence, work rate and togetherness from the first whistle.

We started strongly, moved the ball with purpose and created plenty of opportunities. Our opening goal came from a fantastic set-piece, with Lias’ free kick hitting the crossbar before Bassim reacted quickest to finish the rebound. ⚽️🔥

The boys continued to work hard and compete for every ball, with everyone contributing and giving everything for the team.

After the break, we had to adapt and the boys showed great character. They stayed focused, worked for each other and kept pushing.

That pressure eventually paid off again, with Alexander showing great determination to get himself into the right position and finish for our second goal. ⚽️💪🏻

A special mention to Matin, making his first appearance for PBU today. What a debut! 👏🏻 A fantastic clearance off the line, great composure and a brilliant attitude throughout. He fitted straight into the group and worked tirelessly for his teammates.

Huge credit too to Jake, who made a really mature decision at half time after feeling some discomfort and put his wellbeing first. 👏🏻

And Deniz was outstanding at the back today. Strong, composed and making some excellent defensive interventions when we needed them most.

🏆 MAN OF THE MATCH – DENIZ 🏆

A thoroughly deserved award after another excellent performance.

Every single player gave 100%. The energy, encouragement, work rate and togetherness were brilliant.

Great attitude.
Great team spirit.
Maximum effort.
Three points. 💪🏻🖤🤍

Let’s keep building!

🖤🤍🖤🤍

⚽️ JJ GABRIEL — STAY OR GO?

The 15-year-old Manchester United wonderkid has reportedly asked for his registration to be cancelled, leaving United shocked.

And you can understand why there’s so much attention.

Gabriel won United’s Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year last season after more than 20 goals for the U18s. This season he already has 2 goals + 2 assists in PL2 and a Youth League hat-trick.

Reports suggest game time and his pathway into the first team are behind the frustration.

But should he go?

Personally, I’d stay.

He’s 15. He’s already trained with the first team, featured in pre-season and United were reportedly planning to involve him against Brighton.

At that age, development has to come before impatience.

But United also have a responsibility here.

If JJ and his family genuinely feel there isn’t a clear pathway, United need to sit down with them and explain exactly what the plan is.

Stay, talk, develop.

Don’t let a potentially special academy story fall apart before it’s really begun.

What would you do?

STAY or GO? 👇

🌟 BACK UNDER THE LIGHTS! 🌟

Our PBU U14 Whites were back under the lights for their first official training session following the summer break… and of course, that could only mean one thing.

The return of the bleep test! 😅🏃‍♂️

Before the testing began, the squad were taken through their stretches and warm-up under the watchful eye of our Strength & Conditioning Coach, Will, making sure the boys were properly prepared for the hard work ahead.

We last completed the bleep test during our final training session before the summer break, and the boys certainly didn’t disappoint this time around! 💪

To be fair, perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised. With Head Coach Jason arranging an incredible 18 pre-season friendlies, the boys have maintained a fantastic level of fitness throughout the summer.

Summer break? What summer break?! 😂⚽️

Even the coaches got involved and put in a good shift themselves! 👀💪

Once the lungs had recovered, it was onto the technical work, led by our Elite Academy Coach, Vinnie, while Steve worked with Deniz in a bespoke 1:1 development session.

These individual sessions are something Steve will be delivering with all of our boys throughout the season, based around feedback and development objectives provided by Head Coach Jason. Every player develops differently, and we want to make sure we give every single one of them the opportunity to work on their own individual game. 💚

We then wrapped up the evening with a competitive 7-a-side match, putting everything into practice and finishing the session exactly how we like to… with plenty of football! ⚽️🔥

And now, the preparation is complete.

Our attention turns to Sunday, when we officially kick off the new season away at GT United! 💚🤍🖤

A huge season awaits. The hard work starts now.

Good luck, boys… LET’S DO THIS! 💪🔥⚽️

Matchday is almost here! 🇳🇿

The wait is nearly over as Tottenham Hotspur prepare to kick off our 2026 pre-season tour against A-League Champions Auckland FC at the iconic Eden Park. It's been fantastic watching the squad settle into life in New Zealand, meet supporters and experience a traditional Māori pōwhiri welcome before getting down to business on the training pitch.

As always, pre-season is about far more than the result. It's our first opportunity to see Roberto De Zerbi's ideas take shape, watch the new signings integrate with the squad and see which of our talented youngsters can make a real impression ahead of the Premier League season.

Travelling with the squad are new arrivals Martin Dúbravka, Andy Robertson, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke, while supporters will also be eager to see players such as Archie Gray, Mathys Tel, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Richarlison and Micky van de Ven in action.

A number of players have remained in London. Mohamed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odobert continue their rehabilitation, Guglielmo Vicario is recovering from a minor knock, while Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Marcos Senesi and Djed Spence have all been given extended leave following their involvement at this summer's World Cup.

Kick-off is 4:00am (UK time), so it'll be an early start for us Spurs supporters.

Come On You Spurs! 🤍💙

⚽️ MATCH REPORT ⚽️

Stevenage Borough U13 Spitfires 2️⃣–6️⃣ Potters Bar United Whites

A brilliant way to finish pre-season! We faced last season’s Division 2 champions, who lost just twice all year, so we knew we were in for a tough test.

The opening stages were a little nervy as we rushed our play, but once we settled we produced some outstanding football. Our passing, movement and willingness to play through the thirds caused problems all afternoon, while defensively we stayed organised and limited the opposition to very few clear chances.

We built attacks confidently from the back, moved into a deserved 3-0 lead and, although Stevenage pulled two goals back, we stayed composed, regained control and finished strongly with three more goals.

There are still things to improve, particularly defending corners, but overall this was an excellent team performance. Every player worked tirelessly, supported each other and contributed to a thoroughly deserved win.

🏆 Player of the Match was shared between two players. One showed incredible determination to play through discomfort, while the other led the team brilliantly, captained superbly and never stopped working. Both fully deserved the recognition.

A huge thank you to our volunteer linesman and to all our families for your fantastic support.

Twelve goals in our last two games against two very good teams is no coincidence. The hard work throughout pre-season is paying off, and it’s great to see the confidence and quality growing every week.

Enjoy the break, everyone. See you on 23rd August! 💪⚫⚪
