Everything is Fine

Tottenham lose again — this time to Fulham — and CADS return with one simple mantra: Everything is fine. We unpack a grim first half, a better second half, and the ongoing chaos of square pegs in round holes (including Archie Gray at left wing-back). There’s a lot on substitutions, the injury situation (including Djed Spence), and whether Igor Tudor is showing any early signs of improvement after Thomas Frank. Then it gets spicy: VAR, refereeing consistency, “meat wall” set-piece football, and why the Premier League keeps sliding towards rugby-at-corners. We also touch on Spurs looking like a different side on European nights (including PSG and Dortmund) versus the Premier League. Finally, we look ahead to Crystal Palace — who starts, who doesn’t (Richie, Souza, Mathys Tel, Bissouma, Palhinha, Solanke, and more), what to do about the missing creativity, whether to throw in youth like Luca Williams-Barnett, and just how “must-win” Thursday has become. Predictions, gallows humour, and a whole lot of coping. Everything is fine.
