    *** 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!

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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 departs

    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...

    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...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Rangers ** Thursday 12 December 2024.

    That's the problem when you don't work with a dedicated team of coaches. I believe having people you trust and that are on the same page is very important for a manager. Someone mentioned in another thread that these big injury lists have been following Postecoglou throughout his career. If that...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Rangers ** Thursday 12 December 2024.

    I know where you come from. It used to be like that for me. Supporting Spurs in the late 80s-early 90s in France, I had walk to a certain newspaper stand in order to get British papers (still remember the article about the tribunal deciding Jason Dozzell's fee and Sugar's quote: 'We didn't...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Rangers ** Thursday 12 December 2024.

    I can't remember when that changed but at some point, I went into every game confident that we could get a result. It's certainly more the case than ever with this team. On a side note, I'd say a win would be welcome. Regardless of Postecoglou's job security, there's a huge psychological...

    Unless you consider he is/his staff are partly responsible for some of these injuries! (don't bother replying, that's just me being obnoxious... it happens from time to time)

    ***** OMT TOTTENHAM VS CHELSKI *****

    We'll have to agree to disagree on the rest but if you take a look at what's happening at the moment in France, you may change your mind on this particular question. Real Madrid would have been out of business twice without direct intervention from the Spanish royal family and most clubs at this...
