The Dugout Discussion – Tottenham vs Everton

1,594 Comments
Share

Having relinquished leads in their last two league ties, Tottenham Hotspur chase a morale-boosting victory over Everton on home turf in today’s tea-time encounter. The Toffees, meanwhile, were outclassed by a superior Manchester City side but will take heart from their dominance over Southampton in a 3-0 win on their first road trip.

Spurs rank sixth for shots inside the box (27) and big chances (six) this season but suffer from a poor shot conversion rate (7.3%). Of more concern to Mauricio Pochettino, his troops still haven’t discovered that optimum balance between attack and defence, given that they rank joint-fourth with regards to big chances conceded (six).

Despite netting five goals this term, Everton have chalked up just ten shots on target, so there’s certainly scope for the Merseysiders to improve on the attacking front. On the flipside, they’ve only conceded two big chances against Watford, Saints and Man City, which suggests Spurs’ forward line are in for a challenging contest.

    Kante: a limerick sequence
    On Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and N.K.Smith's Commentary

    by

    Ernest d'Urfé

    I quite recently bought Kant's Critique
    Philosophical thought at its peak
    Then I read the whole text
    And was left quite perplexed
    To me it was simply Greek

    Norman Kemp Smith tried to explain
    But that was entirely in vain
    His attempt at a gloss
    Left me more at a loss
    And fried what was left of my brain

    I then picked it up once more
    And found it still quite a bore
    I flung it aside
    And turned to my bride
    And entered her welcoming door

    Philosophical thoughts washed away
    Such romps were much more fun play
    I forgot that dull German
    And all of his learnin'
    Though Kant, in a way, won the day

    Some sort of truth we're all seeking
    And Kant sought it out by critiquing
    But I much prefer
    To go at it with her
    And get the bed properly creaking

    Norman K. Smith wrote this big book
    An attempt to get Kant off the hook
    But my bride, by the bye,
    Wasn't nearly as dry
    So I gave it no more than a look

    There's something to be said for pure reason
    Though maybe this isn't the season
    If you turn to these tomes
    You'll find your mind roams
    So do something entirely more pleasing
