    Do we ever see the same 1st choice keeper ever play in all 4 competitions though? I don't recall any examples. Whether it is Carabao or EL, I'm guessing one of the others will deputise for Venom.

    Yeah, I believe so. I think it is about whether you are registered with our club, even if you are on loan. I get the feeling you need to be playing in the English pyramid though. That is why Devine isn't a problem. He's already got his 3 seasons and can head abroad. It's probably why I've heard...

    UEFA Nations League

    I always thought taking the knee was fantastic. However, football needed to disassociate with BLM that were under fire for some questionable areas in their manifesto. We shouldn't need a brand like BLM. We had "Kick it out" as the motto. We got there in the end. The other grey area in my mind...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Great post. Provoked some memories there. When I look at that list, the real root cause comes to mind. It's the hiring, not the firing that's the biggest problem. Cristian Stellini - so obviously should have gone with Conte. Mason and Wells had it covered. Antonio Conte - one successful...

    Son Heung-Min

    When we get to the next level, I guess you need more than just goals from these guys though. Sonny is actually streaky in the 90 mins. He can be a complete non-entity for large parts of the game. When he is deployed on the left, he also switches off defensively and ball watches when he should be...

    Europa

    The UEFA rules do take a bit of getting used to. Take Phillips. We buy him at 18 and he can't go on List B until he has completed 2 years with the club. Not a problem last year as we didn't have UEFA football, but in his second season he would have had to be registered on List A. He's only 19...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I go to Spurs maximum 3 times a year. It's normally when season ticket holding mates drop out. What I've always found interesting that the sentiment of fans as a collective in the crowd is very different from chatting to them individually in the pubs before and after matches. The latter...

    Squad

    I also think that we've made an assumption that some of our own academy aren't ready now, but will be in 1 or 2 years time. Centre half is an example. We have Phillips, 19, at Stoke in the Championship, Vuskovic, 17, at Westerlo in Belgium and we have Dorrington, 19, with our own squad and...

    To me, the product that is football is simple. It 22 guys or gals, 2 sets of goalposts and a ball. If you're privileged you even get a man in black to administer the rules and make the system work better. In a nutshell, that is still the attraction and why I pay money. It's not to listen to Roy...

    It definitely wasn't a Grade A window, but I feel the plan was to net spend more than the £73m we see above. Definitely a decent churn of players though, getting rid of the deadwood and replacing them with these talented younger players. The right tactical system is worth more than another...

    Yeah, perhaps. We have been here a few times over the years though. It does appear that the club have really been focusing on the ball at his feet and trying to get him to have that modern keeper feel about him.

    Yet, as soon as FF was fit he was back on the bench and Austin was back to 3rd choice. He's now in possession again. I don't get the Austin and Whiteman thing. They're both 25 and have not made a competitive senior appearance for the club. They've not even had an English loan between them. If...

    Yeah, and Gray covers RB as well. The more I think about it, Ange probably thinks he's too useful to the league squad. It feels like Dragu and him are the 2 primary backups for the 1st choice backline. We should have a guess how many games this season Spence ends up on the pitch. 20-25 would...

    As I put on another thread, this really tells us that Ange doesn't trust Austin and Whiteman to be real backups to Venom. Numerically, it would have been so much easier to have Venom, Austin and Whiteman on the A-List and Gunter and Maguire in reserve as 4th and 5th choice goalies in the B-list...

    Financial Fair Play

    You'd have to perhaps tell me more. From what I see, the PL is FAPL Ltd with 20 directors who are the chairmen of their clubs. They have a chief exec (Richard Masters) who is accountable to them. However, the revenue comes from the broadcasting companies who rule the roost over the the appointed...

    How would a sacking even work now that Scott Munn is running football operations? Levy has sort of promised us that he is out of the day-to-day in this area. He would lose face if he got back involved and fired a manager over the heads of his direct reports. My assumption would be that it would...

    This is seriously bad news about LCFC. What it means is we now live in a world where there is no über jurisdiction over the PL and EFL i.e. the FA that can hold the governance models together. The PL have spend 20-25 years stealing every decision right away from the FA, to the point where it's...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Reminds me of Conte in the 17/18 season with that 3-4-3. No PL team were prepared for that system. At least in Jan 2018, Poch matched him up with his own version of 3-4-3. Dele's brace did the rest. Regardless, that was a disruptive season by Conte. You'd never worry about Conte after that...

    I think the reason I'm so watchful of our tactical system is because if those governance bodies do come down heavy on City, Chelsea etc then we need to be READY for that title challenge that can't currently exist. We know the lot from Woolwich are ready and waiting. Liverpool are also ready...
