    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    No, it hasn't but if they'd called it for what it is, I expect there would have been a riot. I just googled 'Manchester United long term planning' and the first hit I got was: Manchester United a 'long-term' project for Ten Hag. No comment. Bar maybe for Emirates Marketing Project, all clubs claim they have a...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    The risk is to become the next Man United. They make a lot of money even without Champions League football but that somehow translated into a complete disregard for results and performances. Sure, they go through the motions and still sack the manager every now and then but the sad truth for...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    A lot of time OR a lot of money. I'd also argue that, while I agree with the general idea, offering money is no longer enough: you have to offer as much or even more money than your competition. When you're perceived as a 'smaller' club, you either have to offer a lot more money, or you have to...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    It's not as simple as that. As unlikely as it seems, multiple finishes in the bottom half will hurt the club's reputation for a while. There's a reason why we signed Andy Booth and Ruel Fox at some point in the second part of the 90s: we weren't an attractive destination. Having said that, it's...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine FC ***

    I disagree (again!): Messi played 779 games over 18 years (roughly 45 games/season). Ronaldo stands over 1,200 if I remember correctly. Everybody agrees that too many games are played at the moment, even more so with the new Club World Cup and the new format of the Champions League but the most...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    That much I get but what's the link between having people on an Internet message board saying the manager should be sacked (and if I remember correctly, judging by the poll, they're a minority) and the fact that Levy actually sacks? I mean, surely, you're not suggesting that people shouldn't be...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Wolves ** 29 December 2024.

    I'd add d) very few of our injuries are 'contact' injuries, which means either poor conditioning/preparation (and that's on our fitness coaches but Postecoglou decided to work with them in the first place) or there's simply too much strain on the players' muscles due to the intensity of efforts...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Sorry but I can't see the link between 'this forum at the moment' and the next time the fans don't get the manager sacked argument comes up. What's the logic here?

    It's true, but it's also not as simple as that. There's a reason why very few managers stay at the same club for more than five seasons. At some point, players get bored of hearing the same instructions, week in, week out. Ferguson found a good way around that by appointing new assistants almost...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Wolves ** 29 December 2024.

    I'd give the first loss a pass: we were still reeling from the Chelsea game that proved a big turning point in our season. It goes without saying that we don't have a great record against them, but if you don't feel confident when facing a team that - at least on paper - allows you to play to...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Wolves ** 29 December 2024.

    Funny how everyone have bad feelings about this one. Wolves are the kind of team that suits us: they have the worst defensive record in the league. We'll outscore them. Maybe it will be a tense affair but I'd be disappointed if we didn't come out on top against them. Forest were a team perfectly...

    I disagree: every minute spent in a competitive match in your teenage years brings a wealth of precious experience. What isn't helped by the current situation is their market value: the more a youngster is exposed, the more people will question their ability (particularly if they're not...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    I don't know what qualifies as a 'nice chunk' but according to transfermarkt, Mourinho got Bergwijn for 30m when he arrived and in the only summer transfer window he spent at the club, he signed for 110m of players (minus 13m he recouped from selling). In my opinion, he got the short straw but...

    ***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Liverpool***

    They're very demanding, there's no doubt about it but, quite frankly, the last 4 results have been okay, considering the list of injuries we've had. I haven't checked but I think we've done better than last season in a similar situation, injury-wise. So, that's already a positive! I honestly...

    ***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...

    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.
