    ***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Liverpool***

    It's never nice to concede 6 goals at home but I think the players did well to score two goals at 5-1. Quite frankly, this game hasn't moved the needle one bit for me. The problem isn't the tactics per se, it's the number of injuries. If anything, Postecoglou has managed the current crisis...

    Shows there's no room for feelings in football!

    The Official 2024/25 Premier League Thread

    I remember Guardiola saying after the Bayern gig that he couldn't see himself staying for too long at the same place because his demands on the players are such that they're not sustainable in the long run. If I remember correctly, then the question is rather: why did he stay so long at City...

    ***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Liverpool***

    I've got a good feeling about this one. We're going to win. Liverpool have yet to go through a rough patch and everybody has one of those over the course of the season.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

    Time will tell about the value of his legacy but, from where I'm standing (which is admittedly very far away as I rarely watched them), he paid a lot of money for some average players and the quality of play was only getting worse. He stayed there for what? Two years, I believe and sure, he did...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

    We beat them comprehensively at their place a couple of months ago though (albeit with an inept manager). The main difference between now and a decade ago is that there aren't that many United players who'd walk into our first XI. It used to be the other way around. It's true that we won't be at...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

    I for one am really curious to see how this one will turn out. I couldn't pick a result if my life depended on it but let's hope it will be entertaining!

    Ange in or out?

    No, it's the opposite: it's demanding. If the original opinion was so poor, it should be easy to prove it wrong. Being patronising doesn't prove anything, it's just a rhetorical technique used to polarise a conversation and take the attention away from the original point. Judging a player's...

    Ange in or out?

    In my book, belittling football fans and denying them the right to critise the manager is roughly the same thing. Again, there are some perfectly valid arguments for not playing Spence but a) Mourinho, Espirito Santo and Conte (or anybody else for that matter, bar Pochettino) weren't...

    Ange in or out?

    Yeah and people know more about tactics than Mourinho and Conte. Even that clown at Southampton knows more about football than all of us put together but if I were a Saints fan, I'd still want him out. Same goes for Postecoglou: he's got a long career in football. So what? With that line of...

    ** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton ** Sunday 15 December 7pm.

    Everything went right this time and it's nice to see underutilised players having a good game but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We've had quite a few 'statement wins' this season already and we're still looking for some consistency. Also, this Southampton team was the best opposition we...

    We are going to win and win big, which will buy us some time but the turning point will be the Manchester United game.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    But you can't claim to be the most uncompromising person on planet Earth and 'take a new approach' all of a sudden. That's the problem with the character he's built for himself: if he doesn't want to slow the pace of the game down even for 15 minutes and if he won't make subs because we don't...

    Ange in or out?

    It's a detail but while Mourinho undoubtedly needs quality players and is a chequebook manager, he's by far the more flexible of the three. He used an asymetric 4-2-3-1 in order to accomodate Aurier and also tried various solutions in order to bring Dele in (until he decided he was brick and...

    Ange in or out?

    Goes without saying! I might add that this isn't something I'd hold against him. It's just that because of his attitude and playing style, I expected him to be bolder on that front but that's not the biggest deal at the moment.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I'm not saying this will necessarily happen but we all said the same thing last season: when everybody's back, we'll make a push for top 4. In the end, they came back but we never recaptured our early form. So, I'd go so far as to say that for Ange to not only survive but get anywhere, these...

    Ange in or out?

    You're obviously entitled to your opinion (and Postecoglou to his) but I strongly disagree. The scrutiny thing is just an excuse. Dorrington or anybody else will make a lot more than one mistake and the social media will bury him but that's something all players have to go through now, no matter...

    Ange in or out?

    Yeah but that's what they all say, isn't it? There's always a good reason not to play an untested talent at a certain level. We had that conversation all the time in the late 90s early 2000s, when the club were doing poorly in the league. A lot of people thought that the youngsters would hardly...

    Ange in or out?

    Quite frankly, it was a horrible performance, hence the negativity. The result was ok but if I were a Rangers fan, I'd be very disappointed. Kulusevski, Sarr and Solanke (Forster had a good game too, I thought) performed to an acceptable level and that was enough to score a goal but even then...
