  1. Manager Mauricio Pochettino

    It’s distressing looking through the crisis, Poch’s thread etc. “Players are just tired. Whoever didn’t play recently is why our form is bad. Plus we need whoever is scoring for another team recently. Alli has attitude problem. Farting noises” Why isn’t every thread. Tweet, FB post aimed...
  2. Manager Mauricio Pochettino

    It’s a book? Poch’s book? This place...
  3. Ex-Spurs Player Érik Lamela

    So pace has no bearing? WHL same players were unbeaten with more pace (Walker) on the second smallest pitch in the Prem. We take away pace (Walker gone) and play on the 2nd largest pitch in the Prem and what happened to our unbeaten run? Eriksen/Dembele/Alli/Dier/Kane are so collectively...
  4. Ex-Spurs Player Érik Lamela

    The truth is Eriksen isn’t playing badly. Poch’s tactics are making it impossible to perform. Eriksen is giving it his all. How can SOFT SLOW Eriksen perform next to SOFT SLOW Winks and SOFT SLOW Alli and SLOW SLOW Dier behind him and SLOW Davis or SLOW Kane in the mix? On the second...
  5. Ex-Spurs Player Érik Lamela

    Lamela is the last thing we need. Poch already puts out the slowest outfield spine in top 6 history: Eriksen/Winks/Alli/Dembele/Dier/Llorente are so collectively slow. And Lamela is slower than most of them. Like I said last season, Poch’s only issue is he can’t spot that pace = the reason...
  6. Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

    Well...post my "trouble" claim: Burnley, a team who just lost, at home, to 10 man West Brom: Took two points away from us at home/Wembley. A team with Harry Kane, Alli, Dembele, Toby etc? Real Madrid have the pace of fucking Bale and Ronaldo. We have Dier and Winks. Or Kane who is slow...
  7. Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

    That's how it goes. I state Poch is in trouble due to his tactics. Then we lose to a struggling makeshift shit Chelsea at home. And lose two points vs a shit team. That's trolling and being a simpleton right? I know you all want a back rub and story time...And can't handle it if someone...
  8. Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

    I said Poch was in trouble two games ago. One loss as home due to pace/tactics. One daw at home vs minnows. A banker on paper lost due to tactics. I just screen captured your post. Seems like you have a Chrystal ball? Will be interesting to see how it pans out. If he brings in pace he'll...
  9. Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

    And? Dier/Kane/Davies/Eriksen/Winks/Dembele/Alli? Slow. Dropped points. This is a repeat of Soldado/Townsend/Lennon abuse I got. You all ignore people talking sense on Twitter etc regarding speed. Why? Just because a little TFC clique danced around my twitter posts about Poch not taking...
  10. Transfers Summer 2017 transfer window or, waiting for Godot

    Time to mash the ban button (after I react to a post talking shit about me). Mash it like you always do when my warnings come to pass. Remember the Dembele is poison ban? That lasted months. I've only just changed my tune? Team of beasts was 8 years ago. Before this place existed. Speed...
  11. Transfers Summer 2017 transfer window or, waiting for Godot

    I know there were people face palming the posters for not knowing that running/molasses is COMMON ref to being slow. Mollusks? lol. It's embarrassing. I'd much rather be a cunt than be fucking clueless :) By the way, who wants to claim that Alli, Kane, Dembele, Eriksen and Dier are...
  12. Spurs Vs PSG

    We had just won our opening preseason game when I posted that warning. This was before shipping 6 goals and losing twice. If we had won 3 games you are right. I would still be cautious and not change my tune. I don't sway due to results. I think we have a fundamental issue (pace) that...
  13. Ex-Spurs Player Victor Wanyama

    I'm uneasy at Poch saying Wanyama' cartilage issue is minor. Just a small tear in that knee cartilage must be a weak point and with our crazy training could open up. Starting with Eriksen/Dembele/Alli/Kane/Dier is absolutely capable of winning the opener. But long term, it's too slow to win...
  14. Spurs Vs PSG

    Seeing all the talk about being impressed but the fringe players... I'm going to be brutally honest. They were poor when it came to the basics. Dembele and the senior players did too much running filling in gaps they left. Plus they were suprisingly languid and almost lazy. This is their...
  15. Transfers Summer 2017 transfer window or, waiting for Godot

    You are the guy who scoffed at my "Don't play Lennon, Townsend and Soldado" posts. Plus everyone laughed when I said Walker and Trippier should be given more rope up the wings. Do you ever get tired trying to force it? Walker and Rose relatively are one of the leading creative players at...
  16. Transfers Summer 2017 transfer window or, waiting for Godot

    IMO we will be less exposed. Obviously Rose and Walker on the right and left of midfield are WAY more defensively minded than Son or Eriksen/Lamela. Who is getting passed both Rose AND Davies? You would have to be a savage to take both of them on. It's much easier to take on Eriksen and...
  17. Transfers Summer 2017 transfer window or, waiting for Godot

    I never follow transfers closely, but I'm interested in patterns: Have a lot of names being linked tended to be pacy ones? IMO speed/experience/set pieces is where we need to concentrate in midfield and attack. Speed more so that anything. Son's speed was vital IMO in bridging the gap...
  18. BBC London Spurs radio commentators

    I can never remember his name...I'm pretty sure he's a Yid and relatively young and pretty funny. But he usually does the Spurs games and he's genuinely enthusiastic and IMO one of the best current crop. He does prem tv too at least on American networks (albeit recorded in London). He's...
  19. Ex-Spurs Player Vincent Janssen

    Pace in the midfield/final third is one of our only weaknesses. The other is experience. Jansen hinders both of these weak points in our game. It's a shame because he is a Gibbsyish player. Strong, determined and can (gasp) keep up the ball. But I was already complaining about our combined...
  20. Ex-Spurs Player Érik Lamela

    And that is why Lamela is a good replacement because his engine is endless too. But Lamela fell foul of it (his effort). Like I said, Eriksen IMO is lucky to put that much effort and not get sidelined. Probability dictates he's due a long stint out. Actually luck is only part of it. Poch...
