We have, roughly, run the numbers and here is the XI your submissions have produced.

The spine of Mauricio Pochettino's outstanding side runs through this team, although there is no space for the centre-back pairing of Toby Alderweireld or Jan Vertonghen.

Both collected plenty of selections but were pipped by Mickey van de Ven - and let's face it, no-one is keeping club legend Ledley King out of this side.

His biggest competition might come with whether he should have the armband over Harry Kane, who spearheads a formidable forward line alongside Gareth Bale and Son Heung-min.

This side would be both entertaining and very, very good.

With five goals in two huge wins that have propelled Republic of Ireland into the World Cup play-offs, it has been a dream international window for Troy Parrott.

The 23-year-old striker followed up his two-goal salvo against the Portuguese on Thursday with a hat-trick in a comeback 3-2 win against Hungary in Budapest on Sunday which have kept hopes of a first Irish appearance at a World Cup since 2002 alive until next year.

His 96th-minute winner and third of the game sealed second place in Group F and had Dublin Airport jokingly claim on social media that they would be renamed the 'Troy Parrott Airport'.

That name would also be quite apt considering how often he departs from it, having forged a career a fair distance from home with AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands.

Parrott started his youth career in the north inner city of Dublin with local side Belvedere, aged eight.

He progressed through the ranks at the club and by 2017, Parrott was in demand with Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea all interested in acquiring the then 15-year-old's services.

In the end, he chose Spurs and left his home town for the bright lights of north London for an undisclosed fee.

A first professional contract would arrive two years later and he began, at 17, to train with the first team squad and the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min under Mauricio Pochettino.

Parrott made his professional debut in a League Cup defeat by Colchester United in September 2019 with a Premier League debut arriving two months later under Jose Mourinho in a 5-0 victory over Burnley.

Sandwiched in between was a first Irish cap in a 3-1 friendly win over New Zealand, with Parrott providing an assist for Sean Maguire.

He would make just two more senior appearances for Spurs as while he impressed at youth level, particularly in the Uefa Youth League, he understandably was unable to dislodge Harry Kane and needed the benefit of playing men's football.

As Mourinho said after Parrott missed a penalty against Norwich City in a shootout defeat in the League Cup: "Don't think that Parrott is the second Harry Kane because he's just a young kid that needs to work."

And work is what Parrott proved he was willing to do, undertaking loan spells at Millwall, Ipswich, MK Dons and Preston.

None of those proved fruitful so Parrott decided to go abroad as he looked for regular game time and the chance to prove he can score regularly.

He joined Dutch side Excelsior Rotterdam for the 2023-24 season and had a breakthrough campaign, scoring 17 goals in 32 games.

That productive loan spell didn't change anything for him back at Spurs, so he opted for a permanent switch to the Netherlands and AZ Alkmaar paid £6.7m (8m euros) to sign him on a five-year-deal.

Parrott harboured no ill-feelings towards Spurs and instead reflected fondly earlier this year on his crucial development time spent at the club.

"It just didn't happen [with Spurs]. I'm OK with that," he said.

"I look back with a smile. It's a place where I grew up. I moved away from home quite young, so when I went there, I was in a phase of going from a kid to a teenager and then past that."

Parrott told the AZ website at the time of signing in the summer of 2024 that "I think AZ is the perfect club for me to take the next steps in my development" and that has certainly proven to be the case.

The Dubliner has found a home in the Netherlands and more specifically in Alkmaar.

He netted 20 goals in 47 games last season, including four in a 9-1 win over Heerenveen as AZ finished fifth in the Eredivisie.

Parrott then started the 2025-26 campaign in red-hot form with 10 goals in his first seven appearances before a knee ligament injury stalled his momentum for club and country as he missed the September window.

He returned and hit the ground running again, scoring three more league goals to help AZ sit third in the table.

Bigger clubs may be circling now given his prolific rate of scoring, but Parrott seems settled in the Netherlands and will more than likely consider another move in Europe rather than returning to England if he decides to move on.

On the international stage, 2025, or more specifically November of this year, has really proven to be his time to shine after a frustrating few years for his country.

Since his debut in 2019, Parrott had managed five goals for Republic of Ireland. He has been guilty of playing well but squandering some huge chances.

Since November he has five more goals in just two games.

With his confidence sky high, Irish fans will hope he can stay fit and firing between now and March as he looks to step up again and help the Republic of Ireland to a first World Cup in 24 years.

If he does, Dublin Airport may seriously consider a rebrand for the boy from the north side of the city who is a frequent flyer out of the airspace.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank says he had talks with both Chelsea and Manchester United on the same day last year.

Frank met with Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the United co-owner's garage before speaking to Chelsea at a hotel in London in May 2024.

United stuck with then-manager Erik ten Hag before hiring Ruben Amorim in November 2024, while Chelsea appointed Enzo Maresca.

Frank, 52, stayed with Brentford for another season before joining Tottenham in June 2025.

The Dane is releasing a new book and says that day was a surreal experience.

"Sitting down for interviews with two of the 10 biggest clubs in the world – two hours apart – is pretty unique," he told TV 2 Sport., external

"I know I didn't get either of the two jobs, but it was still a huge deal.

"I remember walking through Battersea Park between the two interviews and thinking: 'Thomas Frank from Frederiksvaerk - am I really experiencing this?'"

Frank guided the Bees to two top-10 finishes in the Premier League and has Tottenham in fifth place after 11 games.

He says his seven years in charge at Brentford were 'unique' and admits he is facing a new challenge with Tottenham.

"I have repeatedly said that when we look back on our time at Brentford, it may be the best time of our football careers because the atmosphere we created together between the squad and the staff was unique," he said.

"Right now, I have a crazy job and a crazy challenge

"It's so much head down, 24-7, 365, and just focusing on winning and moving things forward."

Tottenham are back in action in the north London derby against rivals Arsenal on Sunday 23 November.

Level on points with Arsenal, five wins from nine and the most clean sheets in the Women's Super League this season - Tottenham are in a good place.

Martin Ho's side are exceeding expectations and showed their progression over the last few months with a solid 0-0 draw with local rivals Arsenal on Sunday.

It capped off a positive afternoon for the north London club, who welcomed a record crowd of 6,788 at Brisbane Road as they inflicted further frustration towards Arsenal, taking points off them for just the third time in 12 WSL meetings.

"It doesn't make us a great team by just getting a point against Arsenal because you have to consistently deliver that," said Spurs boss Ho.

"We've obviously had a good start to the season but that doesn't mean that because we're joint with Arsenal now, we're happy.

"We want to get higher and we want to push. Everyone is trying to push in the same direction which is important and the environment is good."

Tottenham have enjoyed highs in recent years - making their first Women's FA Cup final in 2024 for example - but have not built on those moments.

That historic day at Wembley did not prove to be a catalyst for progress, instead teeing up a disappointing league campaign which ultimately led to former boss Robert Vilahamn's sacking in the summer.

Structural changes from the top of the club was needed and the bubblewrap was burst - Tottenham needed to go back to basics.

They hired Ho and a new coaching staff, adapted their recruitment strategy to fit their needs and invested further on the "beyond football" elements at the club, including sports performance, nutrition and leadership.

Chief executive officer Vinai Venkatesham joined from Arsenal in the summer and he has pushed Tottenham Women's priorities in the boardroom.

All of those changes, mixed in with Ho's coaching skill and cultural shifts, have seen improvements on the pitch.

"I think it doesn't make us a great team by just getting a point against Arsenal because you have to consistently deliver that," added Ho.

"You have to deliver that performance and that application every single game. We can have off days because we're human and we'll make individual errors.

"But if we can have a lot more games like that then I believe we can really push."

Against Arsenal, Tottenham showed their progress both in and out of possession.

They were winning duels in midfield, Cathinka Tandberg was holding up the ball in attack and summer signing Toko Koga was once again a rock in defence.

They showed bravery when they won the ball back, not afraid to take on Arsenal's Champions League winners and were savvy in seeing the game out later on.

Their rivals are in a slump - they have not won any of their past three games in all competitions - but Spurs were still underdogs and played as if they weren't.

"Any game we go into now we've got to go and be competitive. I don't want us to be a team that sits off the top three teams," stressed Ho.

"I'm enjoying it for now. At times you have to give yourself a reality check and see just how far you've come. But you've got to stay on the tracks.

"There's a lot of expectation on Spurs because we know last year we were not where we wanted to be."

The disappointment of last season, where Spurs finished second-bottom with 20 points, is still fresh in people's minds.

They already have 16 points this campaign after just nine matches and sit a point off Manchester United in the Champions League qualification spots - but Tottenham are cautious of getting carried away.

Recruitment in January will be important, Ho admits, as they look to add squad depth and continue progressing.

They hope by picking up more results like this one against Arsenal, they can also grow the fanbase and attract more followers.

"We want to add different profiles and add to parts where we're missing at the moment," said Ho.

"If we want to be a top team and compete in all the competitions we've got to add squad depth.

"If we want more fans to come and watch our games then we have to put in more performances like this.

"The fans aren't asking for perfection, they're just asking for an energy, a work rate a desire, - when you do that you'll bring more fans to the ground more often."

This is just the third time Tottenham have taken points off Arsenal in their last 12 WSL meetings

PLAYER RATINGS

Arsenal were held to a second successive draw in the Women's Super League as rivals Tottenham put in a resilient display at Brisbane Road.

Having drawn with Chelsea in the WSL and suffered defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League in their two previous matches, Arsenal failed to respond on a frustrating afternoon in north London.

Their hosts, Tottenham, were impressive in and out of possession and overcame periods of pressure to pick up a valuable point under new manager Martin Ho.

It leaves Arsenal and Spurs locked on 16 points each, sitting fourth and fifth in the table respectively, and this will be seen as a highlight in Tottenham's positive start to the campaign.

Despite large spells of possession for Arsenal, particularly in the second half, they rarely tested Tottenham goalkeeper Lize Kop and were largely underwhelming.

Substitute Olivia Smith offered the most threat, creating several chances from the right wing in the second half, but Tottenham held firm and were good value for the draw.

Ho's side had performed well in their previous defeat by London City Lionesses, despite not coming away with anything, so this result was a welcome reward for their improvements in recent months.

In contrast, pressure will be increasing on Arsenal to deliver having slipped eight points off leaders Manchester City in the WSL table.

Tottenham analysis: Spurs bridge gap with valuable draw

Ho's side have exceeded expectations so far this season, instantly adapting to the new manager's style and culture, and quickly climbing up the table.

It was a north London derby with more at stake than in previous encounters given they were level on points before kick-off and a third-place spot was up for grabs in the table.

Even before a ball was kicked, there was a general understanding that Tottenham were going to offer something going forward and would be solid at the back – this wouldn't be easy for Arsenal.

And that's how things panned out.

Tottenham were marginally better for parts of the first half, looking more comfortable in possession, winning the majority of the midfield duels and reading Arsenal's sporadic movement up front.

It was a strong demonstration of their progress under Ho, which has culminated in a pragmatic approach at Tottenham, mixed with flashes of creativity and individual quality.

They were heavily tested in the second half as Arsenal's Smith threatened down the right-hand side, and Spurs struggled to get over the halfway line, but Tottenham did not break their resilience.

It is a result that boosts their impressive start to the campaign and suggests the gap is closing on their rivals, who have been far superior in previous meetings, but not today.

Tottenham fans came out in numbers too, with a record crowd of 6,788 in attendance at Brisbane Road, including an impressive 1,324 in Arsenal colours.

Arsenal analysis: Wasteful Gunners struggling for form

The Gunners travelled across London under pressure following a disappointing defeat in Europe on Wednesday, when they threw away a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 to Bayern Munich.

Already trailing their WSL title rivals, Arsenal's underwhelming start to the campaign – especially off the back of winning the Champions League – has been damaging.

They needed to show a response, not just by picking up crucial points, but by putting in a performance against their local rivals that could signal the start of a reboot.

The first 10 minutes offered a little optimism as they settled quickly and dominated possession, but it was apparent early on that Tottenham were comfortable with the set-up.

A fizzing shot from midfielder Kyra Cooney-Cross – the only addition to the starting XI from Wednesday's defeat – and an effort straight at goalkeeper Kop from Stina Blackstenius were the only half-chances of note from Arsenal in an uninspiring first half.

Renee Slegers needed to act and she made rare changes at the break, introducing record signing Smith and defender Taylor Hinds, and it made a difference.

Smith was explosive down Arsenal's right-hand side, causing problems for Amanda Nilden and creating numerous chances that were squandered.

But despite her positive introduction, Arsenal could not find a way through Spurs' resolute defence and a loose pass from goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar, which rolled out of play in stoppage time, summed up the performance from Slegers' side.

It was the fifth game this season they have dropped points and they remain outside the Champions League qualification spots in fourth place after nine games.

What's next for both teams?

Tottenham travel to Bristol City in the Women's League Cup on Sunday, 23 November (15:00 GMT) and host Aston Villa next in the WSL on Sunday, 7 December (12:00).

Arsenal host Real Madrid at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday (20:00) as they return to Champions League action. Their next WSL game is on Saturday, 6 December at home to Liverpool (12:00).

Coming up

It's a busy schedule of WSL action this afternoon, with five games coming your way.

These four are kicking off at 12:00 GMT, including champions Chelsea's trip to Merseyside. Then it's the big north London derby at 14:30 GMT.

Hello!

Hopefully you've all dried out after the storms, and are ready for another exciting Sunday of WSL action.

Yesterday, Manchester City extended their lead at the top of the table - now it is up to the chasing pack to react.

Meanwhile at the bottom of the league, Liverpool and West Ham will continue their long search for maiden league victories this campaign.

Plenty to get stuck into, and time is a-wasting...

We wanted your suggestions for Tottenham's all-time best Premier League XI.

You've found ways to get big names involved:

David Ashley: 4-3-3. Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Van de Ven, Udogie, Modric, Dembele, Eriksen, Son, Kane, Bale. This would be an incredible team if they all played at their peak.

Michael Martin: 3-4-3. Lloris, King, Van de Ven, Romero, Walker, Modric, Dembele, Rose, Son, Kane, Bale. Strong defenders, with a clever and tough midfield. The front three pick themselves.

Henry: 4-3-3. Lloris, Bale, Vertonghen, King, Walker, Modric, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane, Lennon. Centre-backs are the hardest to choose from as many good centre backs have played in recent years but the rest is undeniable.

This time last season, Tottenham sat in the middle of the Women's Super League table with two wins from their opening eight matches.

They had conceded 21 goals and suffered five defeats, with only four points separating them from the relegation zone.

And that represented one of Spurs' better periods as they went on to win just one more match all season and finished second from bottom with 20 points, 10 more than relegated Crystal Palace.

This season they are fifth after eight games, level on points with north London rivals Arsenal, and two behind Manchester United in third.

Their five wins from eight games mean they have already matched last season's number of wins and emerged as serious but surprise contenders for a Champions League place.

But captain Bethany England says conversations about a future in Europe are not happening within the club yet.

"Depending if we're close to the top then we'll most likely be thinking about it but then that would be another question about how we manage the pressures of that," she told the BBC's Women's Football Weekly podcast.

"It's a position the club has not been in before and having people remain calm in those pressure moments. Right now, it's not a conversation, but it's not to say we don't think we can get there."

Spurs have the chance to leapfrog Arsenal when they meet their rivals at Brisbane Road on Sunday (14:30 GMT) and victory would put them in serious contention for a European place.

That ambition and belief felt a long way off last season.

Under previous manager Robert Vilahamn, Spurs reached the 2023-24 FA Cup final - where they lost to Manchester United - but progress thereafter ground to a halt and ultimately led to the Swede leaving the club at the end of last season.

"I think we had to be honest with where we were at and I think we were struggling to get that cohesion on the pitch as well as off the pitch," said England.

"We knew the performances, what the fans expected from us, and what the club expected from us weren't good enough."

The arrival of former Manchester United and Everton assistant manager Martin Ho has provided the players with a much-needed boost.

The Englishman has not made wholesale changes - keeping hold of the bulk of last year's squad - but England says the mentality around the club has improved significantly.

"Martin coming in has changed a lot. Our intensity has got higher, the demands have got more and testing us more as players as well as people," she said.

"Having that leadership is what we needed in the sense that we were probably getting a bit too comfortable and not being where we wanted to be.

"This year we've been able to see a change in our mentality in games, our desire and willingness to fight for one another on the pitch and I think we're naturally feeling more confident within ourselves."

Tottenham may be feeling more confident this season under Ho, but their WSL record against Arsenal offers little cause for optimism.

Of the 11 north London derbies, Spurs have won only once.

Yet that lone victory - a 1-0 win in December 2023 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - is enough to serve as a source of belief.

"We've got a big opportunity in a north London derby to do what we've done previously. I know we've only beaten them once before, but it's not impossible," England said.

Ho says that his players do not need him to "tell them how big that game is".

"They know that. It's my first one, " he added. "I know how important it is to the fans, to the club and we want to make sure we go into that with the right attitude and the right mentality but it's a really big opportunity for us to showcase what we can do."

However, Sunday's match will not be Ho's first taste of the rivalry, having seen Tottenham beat the Gunners 4-3 in pre-season, in his second game in charge.

Asked about that pre-season game by BBC London, Ho replied: "I wish they counted for something but they don't. We can take some confidence and belief from that, that we belong at that level and we can compete at that level."

A rare derby victory for Spurs could prove damaging to Arsenal's title aspirations as it would leave them at least six points behind leaders Manchester City, who could extend their advantage with a win against Manchester United on Saturday.

And Arsenal will be keen to bounce back after letting a two-goal lead slip in their 3-2 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Women's Champions League on Wednesday.

"That was really disappointing and we've acknowledged that as a collective," Gunners boss Renee Slegers said.

"The players will use this as fuel going into the north London derby."
