    Spurs vs Southampton, the OMT no-one wants to start

    It's a complicated matter. While I was against VAR, it's also true that before, you had some incredible stats and decisions (Man United went a ridiculous amount of time without conceding a penalty at OT or Pedro Mendes' disallowed goal at OT). Being a referee isn't the most glamourous job in the...

    Spurs vs Southampton, the OMT no-one wants to start

    I'm sure they will but, on the flip side, if we only posted important information/thoughts on fans' message boards, every thread would struggle to go past the first page...

    Spurs vs Southampton, the OMT no-one wants to start

    Since they can't be bothered with the league, I've decided to follow the same route: I'm preserving myself for the EL games and will only watch highlights for Premier League games. Considering the price of season tickets, it's always nice to know the players won't play for the fans...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    It's good for him that some people are still willing to side with him after everything but, quite frankly, you could make the exact same case for every manager we've had over the past 25+ years and possibly every human being that has ever lived (bar a few extreme cases I don't think need to be...

    Spurs vs Southampton, the OMT no-one wants to start

    If we lose that game too, I hope someone at the club will have the decency to put him out of his misery. I really can't see us not winning there, but Southampton did get a draw with Crystal Palace so, who knows? I can't remember being that bored watching Spurs in a long, long time. We used to be...

    First Spurs shirt I bought had Anderton's name on it. The kid that still lives in me will never accept to see him described as 'decent', Sir (to be clear: it's a semi tongue-in-cheek comment - to each their own, but every time I see his name, I remember the enthusiasm I felt when I watched him...

    Shame on you for putting Sinton and Anderton in the same sentence. Anderton was an unfortunate victim of the standard of refereeing in the 90s and some incredibly poor managerial decisions, but at some point, he was regarded as being on a par with David Beckham. He reinvented himself twice in...

    Come on, show a little respect! We're not that bad!

    It sure seems like nobody's interested in discussing him any more. I believe it's the first time I see a thread about the current manager turn into a debate on a totally different topic (but, admittedly, I'm a long-time poster but not a regular one).

    They're not geniuses (well, maybe they are who am I to judge?). It's just plain logic. One mitigating factor, though, is that if he had kept Kane on the bench and we had still lost the game - which was a very likely outcome considering Liverpool were the better team -, the backlash would have...

    Let's have a laugh and ask aria who should be the next Spurs manager!

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v The Cottagers ***

    I'm still on the fence with the clips. Sure, they're not a good look for the players but they also need to manage their output throughout the game. Nobody can run around at 100mph for 90s. So, rather than criticise their attitude, I'd say maybe they weren't very clever about - they didn't pick...

    I believe another important aspect is how damaged our reputation was after sacking both Mourinho and Conte. We may think whatever we want about them, but their names still command - rightly or wrongly - a lot of respect in world football. There aren't that many people who'd be willing to bet on...

    What I do find interesting is that you put the blame solely on the whisperer but don't seem to hold any grudge on the sucker who took the bait. It's not a dig, by the way. I've had the same conversation a week or two ago with a young man on a more dramatic topic (a woman being under the...

    Not at all and I certainly wasn't trying to imply that you have but let's just say I wanted to make the pass he gets in these parts from some more believable! :D In other words, that's just me being obnoxious...

    You've been one of the first to say that some people's judgement on Postecoglou was clouded by personal feelings (and rightly so, in my opinion). I'd say the same applies to you and Mourinho, wouldn't you agree?

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v The Cottagers ***

    Loans are well and good if a player isn't ready but, in my opinion, there's no substitute to testing them at the level you want them to play at. In England, people think being sent on loan for four or five years is a mandatory step in any player's development. Maybe it is in England, because the...

    Does that make him a zero, then? :D

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v AZ 13.03.2025 **

    Defensively, he's never been a world-beater (funny thing is, I talked with an Argentina fan not long ago and his assessment of Romero was the polar opposite of the general consensus on here) but his ability to beat the press is a huge asset, in my opinion. Still think he'd make a much better...
