Ryan Mason

[elltrev]

Full quotes from press conference are here, and are a little softer than Kilpatrick's - don't know which are more accurate.

To be fair even in these quotes Mason doesn't put himself out of the running:

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

When Lamela finishes his playing career, we should hire him as a dedicated brickhousery coach. After he'd coached them for a while, We'd have the upper hand before a ball was kicked, as everyone would absolutely hate playing against us.

Didnt work that well for Leeds or Wimbledon in the long run.

 

[parklane1]

He's a great bloke and his heart and soul are a part of this club, very few people like him left in football in PL.

Indeed and i could not agree more, as you know he could catch pigeons and i remember Sir Bill once joking that on match day they had to make sure the ground gates where shut because he was so quick he could run off down the high road,

 

[Kandi1977]

There's a difference between being just stupid and violent and proper brickhousery, and Lamela is the undisputed master of the latter.

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

I suppose I'm from a different age but I find that type of behaviour unacceptable and inexcusable.

 

[nattenskonge]

Do tottenham train Mason for the future?
He has been with poch, Mourinho, Conte ++

 

[JerusalemMan]

As with the High Performance interview, he's got a good manner about him and a decidedly positive outlook.

 

[Spur of the moment]

All this bigging up of Mason worries me. Yes he's Tottenham through and through but so was Ossie and so was Glenda.

Let's just least wait and see how it goes the next six games.

Agreed.

But also, you can immediately feel a different air - like a cloud has been lifted around the club and we can now move forwards. That may translate into results - but I bet it translates into an extra 10% from the fans and an extra 50% from the players.
We'll probably finish 7th. But as long as we do so with heart, it'll be ok.

Levy would take that

7th is ECL isnt it?

As I posted elewhere, Villa and particularly Brigton dont have the easiest run ins so 6th feels more realistic than 7th I think

Not with ten cups being united and Chelsea
7th is Europa now
6the became Europa due to united league cup win
7th because of the teams in the fa cup final

Isn’t it 5th and 6th Europa, 7th Conference?

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Isn’t it 5th and 6th Europa, 7th Conference?

No
5th Europa for the. League place
The other 2 are for cup winners
If the winners are already in Europe
It goes to the league places

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Stop it you're getting me over excited at the prospect of playing teams I've never heard of in places I didn't know existed.

 

[elltrev]

No

Yeah exactly. And the cup winners are already in Europe. So it will go to league places - surely 5th and 6th Europa, 7th Conference.

Edit: It's Man U vs Man C in the FA Cup final, not Chelsea.

 

[scaramanga]

So you're saying get 4th or tank for 8th?

 

[tommysvr]

5th is Europa regardless of anything else. League Cup being won by City means 6th gets Europa. FA Cup being won by City/Utd means 7th becomes Europa. So we really need to finish 6th, 7th or 9th ideally.
