facts like water has to be boiling for tea 😁

Amazing that every time a fan base chants about Tottenham the match commentary makes sure to point it out

I was sort of sympathetic up to this point

I thought the “Journal of 9/11 Studies” was a joke. But no.

The enter away end agrees

He’s not wrong

Admired how Tudor handled it

Absolute prick - makes me like Tudor more though

I’d pay extra for the ability to mute carragher (and mccoist)

Hope you are right.

Tottenham news: Relegation is 'multi-year project' for teams Tottenham news: Relegation is 'multi-year project' for teams

“For a club of Spurs' ambitions and financial scale, relegation would not simply be a short-term sporting setback", says football finance expert Kieran Maguire. "The economics of English football make recovery a multi-year project."”

The upside is it forces a bigger reset. We could make a riskier managerial appointment, play the kids and recruit potential. But I’m not convinced the revenue hit is so easily absorbed, and it means the recruitment of top players is pushed back at least 1-2 seasons, even if it all goes perfectly.

The thought has occurred to me too, but it’s copium. Going down would push us back years. Everything becomes more difficult; financing transfers and wages, attracting top talent on and off the pitch, raising sponsorship, loss of overseas support, and it would make the worst Arsenal fans very happy.

From a governance point of view, this is the right approach. The board can fire Vinai but should not own the decisions on appointments below him.

we’re obviously living in a simulation run by an Arsenal fan but I think they’re overdoing it

Looks to me that they had the long studs already - you’d assume that Gallagher would have warned them if the coaching team didn’t already know. Atleti players were also slipping, but of course are much more used to the surface.

You were consistently right about this. My view at the time was Ange deserved another season, but I wasn’t convinced it was the right decision. Everyone around me wanted him gone 🙄

This is exactly right.

There’s a small fraction of fans who enjoy trying to wind up opposing fans. That, plus a lot of beer and incredible stupidity is what’s going on here. But the rest of us match going fans have to try to stop the worst of it. I was in Frankfurt and would have had a go if I’d seen it. Most would.

💯

My ultimate fantasy is still that Pep decides he needs a real challenge 😆

I wonder. He always struck me as an intelligent thoughtful guy, and I think the players mostly feel the rivalry and loyalty much less than the fans.

And ‘accuses’ - I hate the way the subs do that for clicks

Agree; no idea how you get that headline from what he actually said.

And Peter banks says he’s happy with his decision. Absolute joke.

Is this’s going to be like the football episode of inside number 9? At the end of the season Vinai is going to stand up in the director’s box, take his shirt off, turn round, and we’ll see Arsenal tattooed across his back.

Could not agree more

Does anyone think the free for all wrestling matches from corners is good for football? Does it need a rule change or just referees to be much tougher?

Flat first half atmosphere, Gary Neville can’t shut up about it, it’s almost eerie, could get very ugly, never seen it like this, Tottenham in real trouble. Great second half atmosphere, Gary Neville: … feel like the commentators have just got this narrative and nothing will shake it
