We're unbeaten ffs. Won't be playing City every week thankfully.

Doubt it.
The reality of what a manager says in a changing room and on the training pitch and then says in public is very different at every level of football.
It’s all a game. Especially the media side of it these days.
No point me answering as you have answered for me. What am I having for lunch please?
He's doing a wild lot of moaning these days, isn't he?
No it won't. From my observations it appears to take around 6 months to really bed a player into Poch's systems and presses.
Possibly a reason why he has asked for players early in trf windows.
Possibly also a reason for our traditionally slower starts and rampant finishes to seasons (forgetting last years implosion).
Think it’s clear he’s annoyed with the transfer window. Got Lo Celso very late with no pre season training and time to integrate him and besides that Eriksen still might leave.
But the fact he’s playing him shows there’s probably nothing happening around him in terms of negotiations right now.
But we still have two weeks where he could go.
The 100% reality is we do not operate on the same level as City when it comes to transfers. But yet we usually compete.
However sounds like they were miles in front of us this weekend.
Sammys cheeks from your previous posts =P
Not where it mattered.
City can't play any better but also have a settled squad and nothing to fear, with players who are definitively going nowhere.
I think the Premier League are fcukwits in not aligning transfer windows but the Eriksen/Alderweireld and Vertonghen situations are our doing.
And having Rose still in the club even more so on Pochettino.
We can bemoan the inequity of City's transfer wallet and the lack of the Premier levelling the financial playing field but contracts and preferred players who disrespect the club is 100% on us and on the pitch mostly on Pochettino.
Stands at large blackboard and chalks a long horizontal line. At one end writes "A total fucking shit cunt of a performance ". At the other "Brazil in the 1970 World Cup Final". A little over third of the way along marks a cross and titles it "Tottenham away at Man City in August 2019".
Steps back to see whole class apart from one sulky cunt nodding in general agreement
Good to know you’ll be delighted if we play like that against Woolwich in a couple weeks.
I’ll be disgusted.....and after the joy of sneaking a late point wears off, I will still think we were shit.
Did you not see the game? It was like Man City v Tottenham Over 40s.
No I was away so only got to read about it.
Saw the stats etc and watched Pochs post match presser today.
He seemed pretty clear they were much better than us. We robbed a point.
Yes, they were. The good news is that he doesn't mind that they had 30 shots against us because they operate much differently to us in the transfer market.
Only weak-minded supporters.
Luckily we only play them twice. Caught a break with the schedule.
Not much more could have been done with Lo Celso given he was out until August due to Copa America.
That's a really abstruse observation. I like it.
The message in the dressing room will likely be worlds apart 9 times out of 10. Any manager that doesn't emphasise to his players "ignore what I say in the press" is a fool to himself....
I suspect even Levy takes a lot of it with a pinch of salt.
UK media/press are parasitic cunts; feed 'em a bone here and there and watch them chase their tails.
The message in the dressing room is to start the game as if we have just rolled out of bed.
