I dont mind the losing, we are afterall Spurs fans & therefore, used to it.
What is unacceptable to me as a Yid is the (lack of) style of football.
I refer you to the late, great Danny Blanchflower
Fucking joke.
What a bunch of melt down kids we really are.
Well the twats have got their wish lets watch and see their dream happen.
So embarrassed.
Where is this news coming from?
Give him till the end ofthe seasonthis post, we're still only a few points of 4th and in all the cups, embarrassing results aside.
If he hasnt won anything or achieved top 4 at the end ofthe seasonthis sentence then he can go.
It's a joke, not sure what our 'fans' expect now........how long will the new guy get?.....
Fucking joke.

Totally agree. How to turn a bad patch into a crisis. The manager with the best win ratio ever at our club has just been sacked. All this short term bollocks is why we're a nearly team every fucking year. We might as well have a half time raffle every week to choose who's in charge of the next game - with second prize a guide book to second string Eastern European football teams and a stuffed fucking cockerel.Fucking joke.

What is this lesson you speak of? Has an argument been raging behind my back all this time and nobody bothered to tell me about it or tag me until now? Last I saw of the debate on formations over at OG I neatly put it to bed, and barring Tucker's two posts on OG which elicited my detailed responses, I've not had a single person on either site respond to the points that I raised except to agree with me. But I guess this is the part where you conveniently revise history.Ha ha @ VirginiaSpur taking a lesson in football from tucker and TED on OG.
tried to win some friend by quoting my post about the American penchant for killing minors.....
Shot down in flames by two of the least knowledgable footballing pundits TFC has ever seen.
Lovely stuff.
The team that beat us 0.5 yesterday were in disarray last season. Finishing 7th. Some supporters questioning the manager, calling for his head, player un-rest, etc! This season, Liverpool are currently sitting in the top 3! Getting good reviews and results! There are mitigating circumstances to our "erratic" start. Influx of new players and key injurys to our back line, for me the two main ones! I think the majority of us backed and praised AVB's signings when they arrived and we have seen glimpses of their qualities and our potential. Patience is a fu**ing condescending word, but we do have to back the players, and manager, at least until the end of the season. Lets see, in a couple of months, if we see an improvement! A settled side, that looks like it is gelling! A side with flair (Lamala, Townsend) and creativity (Eriksen, Holtby) and a cutting edge, (Soldado + A January Striker!) based on the solid foundation of Sandro, Capoue, Paulie, Dembele, Walker, Vert, Chiviries (how do you say/ spell his bloody name?) Rose, Kaboul and Hugo!
We may end up finishing 6th and with perhaps a bit of silverware and if we do, then that will be a better season than Liverpool had last year! And look at them now!
Should none of the above come to fruition, then agree, lets consider an alternative but in May, not now!!!
COYS!!
To be fair , the Tractor Boys of Ipswich would have escaped that groupEspecially as his over the top strong sides against Haystack Utd and FC Tractor Boyz have cost us in the PL
Like you, I agree, on paper 80-90 million was,in the long-term cheap for Bale!! Probable CL qualification, marketing, image rights etc! But we both know the EPL world we live in and I suggest, had RM offered the same amount of money for Suarez, he'd be wearing the White of RM now too!Main difference was that Liverpool KEPT the star player that was causing some of that unrest... we sold up!
Continuity isn't alwas just about keeping the manager... it's about standing firm on players too... showing tough love, saying "fuck your 'Boyhood Spanish team', you're staying here... that's why we pay you!" and letting the cunt get on with it.
Liverpool were brave, there coulda been a rebellion or backlash... but there wasn't... and now they're 2nd, and beating rival teams 5-0 away!!
Selling Bale was the beginning of the end for AVB IMHO! (not that he had much say in either matter, but you know what I mean!)
