    FA Cup 23/24

    Textbook case of why you don't want Fernandes as captain. Goes down under barely any contact, loses ball in build up to the opponent scoring a goal and gets booked having a moan at the ref. I was speaking to a united fan yesterday and I asked whether it was tough supporting them with such a...

    **** Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Fulham FC ****

    Yep, this hasn't been a smash and grab by any stretch, well deserved 3 goal lead. No injury excuses either. It's odd that we have 3 in midfield yet there's acres of space for Fulham. I'd rather PEH than Biss on current form. Plus the front 3 having no chemistry whatsoever. Slightly worrying.

    **** Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Fulham FC ****

    Not sure it's that unfortunate, for the player specific reasons you mentioned. But also it's so easy to get at our back four, we keep on giving it away and Fulham get a free run at the back line. Whereas when we have the ball the opponents don't press beyond the half way line and we can't find...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Yeah that's a fair distinction. I love seeing sports when overseas but if I see a game of ice hockey in Prague or a baseball game in Japan, as I'm not well versed in ice hockey / baseball nor linked to any team, that's absolutely me being a tourist. Different if I had a long term affinity with...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Personally "tourist fans" seems alright to me because if someone's come from overseas to watch a game they literally are a tourist, that's not a pejorative term, it's an apt description. "Plastic fans" however, I can see why that would irk Ange or anyone else. The idea that because someone is...

    **** Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Fulham FC ****

    It hurts to look at doesn't it? At least Lo Celso has proved himself better than his "showing" that night, albeit in patches. Plus we have a promising back up CB rather than Sanchez, who whilst being a nice bloke and all, was not a great watch. Solomon hasn't kicked on either although hampered...

    Canning Town Bingo Club

    It's a blindingly obvious one but we can't control / affect what West Ham do in games we're not involved in. The whole "they never do us any favours" cliche didn't hold up for the Freiburg game when it was almost written in stone that it would. "They only try against us" is another one which...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    You're arguing against two of the most divisive posters on the board and both seem to be proudly incapable of shame no matter how low they stoop. I had to scratch my eyes to make sure it was Scara and Marky giving lectures on the evils of hate speech, taking a break from posting hateful...

    U23s, Academy and Loanees

    Fair points, I had it in my head that he'd started a couple and then got dropped so I was perhaps being a tad dramatic! I wonder how it's gone in terms of other times players have gone out on loan, then recalled to be loaned out to a higher level in January. I guess Tanganga has done the...

    U23s, Academy and Loanees

    No doubt that was part of it but it was still an active choice to move him from where he was settled and playing week in week out to a team where that currently isn't the case. It's still early and maybe it's cherry picking to take a snapshot of the situation as it currently is for moaning...

    U23s, Academy and Loanees

    I suppose in a positive light it gives Devine a challenge to fight his way in to the team, which a big part of being a top level footballer so it's good to learn that now. It could be that he has had a slight knock we don't know about that took him out of the team in the first place. However...

    Pedro Porro

    There were reasonable worries about how he would work in a back four considering his start in what was meant to be a system he was supposedly ready made for, effectively giving away a goal a game. I guess those worries were partially based on not having full knowledge of how Ange has his...

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    I'm firmly opposed to that, it's a surefire way to make the game unwatchable with the technology how it is. As many pauses as NFL but without the importance/ intensity of each action / play. You know it'd just be an excuse to crow more adverts in our faces as well,or having to listen to the...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa ***

    Only finished watching the game,had in recorded so was doing the usual media blackout trying desperately to avoid the score. Brilliant stuff. I was talking about Johnson and whether he was ready to do what he can do from the start and today he answered that. Even in a quiet first half Brennan...

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    Obviously VAR "can't" intervene if it's only a yellow card, obviously. Even if that yellow would mean a 2nd yellow card, that makes perfect sense, it's clear why everyone respects VAR and the way it's implemented. Instead of being able to send off players like Havertz for that outrageous dive...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    So you'll tell someone they've misunderstood something but choose not to add any context / reason as to why. Add in "I know you are but what am I then" and it's a full house for not wanting debate on anything but if that's how to you choose to be then all power to you. I'm always open to the...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    It's a discussion, did you just want some seal claps for how you're the bestest at understanding exactly what Ange means? It's been noted by many others already so not to pile in but why so feisty all the time? If you want to expand on why you think I've misunderstood Ange I'm happy to read...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I'm not exactly sure he is saying that in terms of judging progress, a league finish is a clear indicator of progress / getting worse but it's more about the outlook moving forwards. It perhaps wasn't a dig at United, Saudi Sportswashing Machine or even us under Conte's first season but the notion of it not...

    Timo Werner

    We'll probably try the same flimflam the Spanish clubs try with us in regards to GLC and try to take him on loan for a 2nd season late on when RB Liepzig (sp). I'm on the same boat as a few others on here, if the signing could be done on reasonable enough wages I'm happy as long as we still get...
