Finally something good to watch during this boring International break 👍🏻

The breaks for internationals can be very frustrating, I need my Spurs back. Ben Davies gets a lot of unjustified criticism, but he's a good professional who gives everything for Spurs.

Ben Davies is easily in my top 10 spurs players. What a fantastic player, really impressive to hear about all of this

In other news, I'm going back to the lane for the first time in 30years (almost to the day) cannee bloody wait... Last time round Mabbutt was captain, Paul Walsh signed my programme, Anderton wasn't injured and we beat Oldham 4-1.. I'm hoping we don't play as complacently as we did against Fulham. Sorry I've nowhere else to shout about my excitement - my friends are musicians, they just don't care 😅

Alasdair Gold video being the most exciting thing about the current international break

In a week where almost nothing happened, Ali still manages to talk for over an hour 🎉

Alasdair, I can always count on you to help turn off my anxiety at night and help me sleep. Don’t worry, I’ll listen for real in the morning. Meantime, good night.

Hi Ali, Saturday's England game was a non event. Light years away from the greatest England v Brazil game I've ever seen. The classic in the 1970 Mexico World Cup. Brazil won 1-0 but England missed 2 or 3 glorious chances and Gordon Banks made that wonder save from Pele.

Regarding the non-Spurs topics, TV/movie reviews... please don't go the "shorts" route, I think most of your audience is here because we like the longer format of videos which is becoming more and more rare and valuable in the sea of tik tok and shorts. Don't put a time limit on it, just speak as long as you've got something to say ;)

Kulu with another assist as Sweden beats Albania 1-0. Sweet cross!

After yesterday's dross of a game, so glad to see you pop up on my notifications. Thank you as always 😁😁

From an aussie perspectivs, almost all afl players cpmplete a university degree while playing full time. The clubs like it because it keeps the players in the library rather than the pubs 🤣

At least we have 3 days between Luton on Saturday and West Ham away on Tuesday. In the early 70s I remember us playing Revie's Leeds at home on Good Friday and Chelsea away the next day.

Big up Ben Davies wow 😮! Fair play to him I’ve always liked him as a person and a player which is weirdly controversial to say . I have never seen him give anything less than 100%. That’s all you can really ask for. I thought he filled in remarkably well at LCB. I think having him around the squad can only be a good thing. There’s a reason every manager has liked and trusted him. I hope he becomes a coach at Spurs personally.

I agree with the international break, its a pain having all these breaks during the season. My solution would be to play all the international games in one month so you know that for one month (say March) youd have all the qualifying games in one month and for the rest of the season you could focus purely on the league. This is probably the one thing i agreed with Wengers ideas to reform the international calender

Fantastic show AG! I also saw those same reports on the Ben Davies interview and I was blown away by the completeness of this man. What a well-rounded and inspirational individual to have at our football club, not everyone's cup of tea when he's named in the starting 11. But by gosh what an incredible person and what fun it would be to sit down and have a dinner with this guy

Great video alistair as always, mate roll on next weekend

The kulu stats baffle me so much, to the eye he seems wasteful as of late, lacks the dynamism and threat we know he can possess.

Good afternoon, Alasdair. Once again, thanks for your insight into all things Tottenham Hotspur. I would welcome any short video if you have the time to produce them. It's understandable that your time is taken up with your work. But I will listen and watch anything you want to put out. Just a quick one. Purchased my tickets for the MCG post-season match. Not sure if you will be making the trip.

I would absolutely be up for a film & TV channel! Even retrospectives if you catch a rerelease or rewatch of an old classic

I’ll give any new show of yours a listen, whether Spurs or film & tv. You seem to have similar tastes, so I look forward toto giving it a shot if you do start it up. 🍻

i would have watched a video of Ali G asking us if we were good & having a quick weather forecast.

Thanks, Alasdair! I enjoyed reading about Davies’ educational pursuits. It will be interesting to follow his career of the future! I also read that Sonny is his son’s godfather. Brilliant! p.s. it was also interesting to listen to Hugo’s recent interview. He displayed good insights and understanding regarding Daniel Levy and the financial constraints the new stadium had on continuing to develop recruitment.

Cheers for the vid Ali. Great listening on the beach. Managed to go on my own international break for my honeymoon so this one hasn't been as painful haha! Although finally found another spurs fan while abroad to watch the game, and ofc, we lost..! Definitely would be up for the non spurs channel, loved the travel stuff you did too.

As always another fantastic and informative video thanks Alasdair

Aliiiii 😃 ! You answered my question ! Thanks man that’s really made my day !!! Forgot about press conference day before doh 😩 EHHHHHHYYYYY

Hey Mr. Gold - do you have a link to the Opta stat nerdy grid pitch thing ..... I love all this nerdy stuff

I would love a movie review chat albeit ten mins or so. 👍 Thanks Ali.

Great video as always Ali!

Hi Alasdair thanks for the info thanks for your hard work take care stay safe ps saw ghostbusters today agree

Another great piece of journalism Mr Gold. I could listen to you talk about Spurs all day, but I’m actually writing this as I would be up for a Mr Gold Film 2024 (The new Barry Norman) as I enjoy your film reviews and I’m also happy for them to be a longer version than 5 minutes 😊

You’re a top man thank you for what you do best Spurs video I’ve been going since the 70s I’m 60 now keep up the good work Alistair

I’d love it if you made a film/tv channel. Always enjoy your reviews and would be happy for them to be in a longer format

Very good news Alasdair

Thank You!

Hey 👋 Ali !! I’ve heard from mates in Italy that Gudmunsson is a good player and they’re all raving about Ederson ! I want him badly think he’s perfect 6 for us. Hard tackler with great range of passing and good feet . EHHYYYY 👍🏻 😎

Hey Ali, thanks for the video. I would definitely tune in if you do a separate film/tv discussion video.👍

Thanks again Ali. How do u feel lo celso is being treated. Considering neither kulu or madders have been at their best recently.

Thankyou Alasdair

Thankyou Ali👍🏼

Thanks for the video

Class video yet again!

11:58 You didn't mention Scarlett's little Harry Kane run up for the penalty, Ali G.

I’m all in for Ben Davies as Spurs coach! Thanks Gold!

The attacking part of our team is going to change a significant amount of change. I’m excited to see the depth and new competition in that area

Thanks Alasdair. Lots of interesting topics in this video. Scott Munn as “The Munster” - I love it: you know that label is going to stick now! You are not wrong about the international breaks - they are a waste of time. I certainly have no desire to watch an England side with Chilwell, Maguire, Dunk and Konsa in it? Also, how can Mainoo start ahead of Madison? Is Southgate trying to ingratiate himself with the Man United hierarchy - they are welcome to him if they really want him. Ben Davies is Spurs through and through. He could be a future Spurs manager though I would certainly bet on him managing the Welsh team in the future.

Hi great to have you back!!! Internationals are boring 😅

I loved every second of this Ali X148

So glad this came up on notifications. Need proper football back and a spurs win. Hope your international break isn’t as boring as mine 😂 Hope you’re well Ali.

You should definitely do movie and series reviews Ali! Thank you for the Spurs info as per 🤘🏻

God bless you Ali, I need this!

Ali. Good vid as usual. Any news on Mitoma and Wang. Brilliant signings for Spurs

Thanks Alasdair,, I have always liked Ben Davies,, he has always seemed a level headed guy so I am not surprised by him lol..

Perfect timing Ali, just stuck the kettle on. COYS!

Thanks as always Ali. I have a question on Austin and Whiteman. I like them and It feels like they have been with the club forever. It doesn’t look like there is a clear plan for move to another team, and clearly they aren’t seen as next in line to take over #1 goalkeeper or even a back-up keeper. Do you know what will happen with them? What is usually the path for “young” goalkeepers in this position?

Tyrese Hall has the advantage of sounding like a location in Game of Thrones.

The best news from the International break was Dane Scarlet getting a hat trick, it came out that Bentancur has been playing with a broken toe since before the Crystal Palace game other that it's been dull. As for Ben Davies I'm kind of hoping now he ends his playing career with Spurs and joins the Academy coaching staff, I think that would be great. As for your idea about reviewing TV shows/movies I'd be curious to know what you think of my favorite TV mini-series of all time but I'm not sure you are old enough to have seen it when originally aired in 1976. It is "I Claudius" starring Derek Jacobi, I thought it was brilliant then and still watch it on dvd. My second choice would take us up to 1990 Ian Richardson starring in the of "The House of Cards" trilogy, 1993 "To Play The King" and 1995 "The Final Cut" which was the the weakest of the 3, the first two were certainly powerful TV, Ian Richardson was amazing. The original "X-Files" wasn't bad and "The Bletchley Circle" was definitely an interesting concept all old TV series I know but sadly new one's don't seem to keep me interested. The first 2 series of "Dexter" were ok but after that it was all the same "The Game of Thrones" again a couple of series and just couldn't keep interested, the biggest difference between TV shows then and now is the languange, the excessive use of profanity, not needed, not entertaining.

Thanks Alasdair

Brilliant Mr gold 🙏👍

Such a weird season with so many gaps between games like 15 days before arsenal but them finishing with game every couple days either rearrange games

Hey Ali I’d be curious to hear your opinion on this post season game in Melbourne. Personally i find it hard to justify flying to other side of world for one ☝️ game. If I’m an Australian spurs fan I’d much prefer them to come in pre season next year . Plus not a good look on the ECO side of things .

Saying “The Munnster” and instantly regretting it lol. Stay gold Ali boy.

Great Vid as usual Ali ehhhhhyyyyy

Federico Chiesa or Dusan Vlahovic would bevideal for the striker position. Vlahovic would be perfect and Chiesa is more of a wing!

Film24 with Ali Gold? You'll have to find a defining trait. Would Jonathan Ross have made it without his lisp or Mark Kermode without his quiff?

Question - if the dressing room is the players' private space (as Ange talked about very early on) how does his half time team talk work (and the video clips talked about here)? Do the players invite the coaching team in when they're ready?

Yes, good idea, do a channel of film reviews... or just put them on this channel. I'd watch 'em. I think they should be longer than a minute... maybe 10-15 mins? Also I would like if you reviewed old movies too... You could start with a nice long video on your favourite 20 or 50 or 100 movies ever or something... that would be interesting. Or your favourite movie for every year of your life since you were a kid, something like that

Would Ange consider replacing his whole background team at 3 yr instead of leaving clubs at 2-3 yr mark that way it’s a new challenge for him . Also right and left fullback targets in summer Destiny needs a back up and Porro as well any news on potential targets or who u might think might suit

Alasdair you need to recognise there is a big international tournament round the corner and these matches are necessary to look at players. Vicario made his debut, Porto get back in the Spain team, Scarlett scored a hat trick for the under 20’s. If we ever played a midfield of Maddison Sarr and Lo Celso, with Bissouma and Bentancur as well we’d be very strong indeed. The break will do us good before the Luton game. Good luck Ben and Wales tonight.

Great idea for another channel take our minds off bad results but twice the pleasure with good result 😁 when in NY again Ali try the Film and TV museum in Queens great for Buffs, we saw Muppets & Walking Dead ☠️ exhibition a lot of similarities to the Fulham game 😮 Wife’s on a🚢 to Arlie Beach 🏖️ can’t beat that back drop Aahhy, Cheers 👍

"The Munster" - love it!

Why has our academy dried up Ali? Bentaleb Mason Rose Walker Kane, we had 5 academy products as starters a decade ago (holy, time flies😢). Such a fall from grace paints a concerning picture about our youth coaching to me.

Hey Uncle Ally just getting prepped for the USA v’s Mexico today I did catch The WSL game The lady’s won again but should of score a bunch it reminded me of the men’s team my Q was there a reason to why Richy and Madison didn’t play was it to help with injuries. I saw the training videos and Maddison was on fire and Richy was wrestling with his team mates . I watched the Brasil and England game but I was supporting Brasil and wondered about Maddison. Right gonna unpause and watch the vid

I would definitely follow your tv/movies channel Ali. But don't forget, you don't need a ready made audience from this channel, you will attract new followers over time anyway, just as you did with this channel. People follow likeable/knowledgeable people. :-)

I know it sounds a bit weird, but could you talk more about other clubs you also cover/follow?

For QnA, How do you usually shape your teams on Fifa/FM? Is it 2 good players in every position? What does your current Fifa/ FM team look like?

Bissouma is a unbelievable player when he’s full of confidence. Ange keeps saying he doesn’t limit the players as 6 or 8 but Bentancur is definitely better as 8. Ange never uses Skipp as DM so getting a Bissouma’s competition is a must. Imve been watching Atalanta’s games tames since we’re interested in Ederson but I think Koopmeiners is overall better suited for us.

Yes to the movies/tv. But not shorts. 10-30 mins would be ideal, depending on the material.

Q&A: 1) in terms of loans next season, can we keep Lankshear, Donley and Tyrese Hall in the same club or is there a limit per club? I'm really hopeful for them to keep developing their chemistry together 2) can we get the loan club to guarantee game time by offering to pay the players' full salary if they start a certain minimum number of games?

I feel there must be a change in the midfield after last game. I’d play rodrigo against Luton ! Actually hojberg as well but only cause he’s leaving I’d side with Bentancur

Haha the start of this was so funny!

Yes sir I would watch the movie chanel.

nice

Hi Ali - not that I want this to happen but imagine how good England would be with Ange as manager with the wingers and full backs available to invert and just the team in general😅 The wales game will be a better watch than England on Tuesday!

Saw a graphic comparing output of Oliver Skipp vs Mainoo and our boy is better in all aspects of play - I feel Skippy has been underused by Ange, why does Postecoglou not use him more?

Def watch movie tv reviews

I watched Ben make his first senior appearance for Swansea in a pre season friendly. I didnt think he would amount to much yet thought the young Spanish midfielder Pozuelo was the next Messi. Safe to say my eye for talent isn't as good as i think 😂

Watched about 15 mins of second half of England and turned off - reminded me of pre ange era spurs but without the important part where actually care about the result

Hypothetical, if Spurs get Champions League football next season and Kane doesn’t win anything with Bayern this season, do you think we’ll put in a cheeky bid to bring him back considering how much we’ve grown under Ange?

would definitely watch a movie/tv review channel

Question for Mr Gold: How many players are spurs away from winning the league and what positions

If you did a review guide for tv n films Id watch it . I dont watch anyone else doing it but Id look at your opinion.

Alasdair I think Tottenham are being more cautious with transfers and fit and young class players

Gotta love Ali being on KZfaq for years and either forgetting or not knowing that it has a polling feature 😂❤

I love international tournaments. Copa America, World Cup and looking forward to the Euros. .. But yeah the international breaks that disrupt the season and inevitably end up with Spurs players injured are just źzzzzz

Not quite sure the audience or even your level of commitment for it, but I’d love to see a side channel with your Tv/Movie takes. Maybe do a test here with. Few YT Shorts just to see if you have the time/energy for it. It might make some fans a bit angry, but you’re channel, your call.

Alasdair Van De Ven speed versus his hamstrings

Do what they do during NRL State of Origin (rugby leagues biggest rep game) Midweek games comp roles on regardless. No break required, use young players that don’t get enough EPL time. Pegs the big (cashed up) clubs back a bit…

I actually did fall asleep during the England game 😂😂 Woke up at 85 mins and endured the final 10 mins

Movie reviews: I dont mind you doing it. I'd advise to keep it on the same channel too. If you ever change jobs / retire for whatever reason, you shouldn't have to abandon your biggest channel because of that. Channel's called Alasdair Gold, not Alasdair Gold Talks About Spurs. Yes, your primary focus is spurs, that's why we all started here. But if you talk sense about other stuff we're interested in, you're not prohibited from branching out. Maybe start a new playlist in the channel?
