    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Very fair comment. But to me, "looking good playing away" and "not good enough home performances" are actually two sides of the coin. I personally believe, AVB is building a team that play consistently at home or away, his ideal team would focus on keeping possession and pressing the...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    So, it's inspite of having AVB as our manager or credit to AVB? We are Spurs. We just have to find something to complain. ;)

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    We lost comprehensively to Man Utd and Emirates Marketing Project when Modric's head wasn't right. I guess this is as close to how I could best describe the importance of Modric or a Modric-type player to our team and the managers (both 'Arry and AVB). I would take out WBA game from the three games you have...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Not trying to defend AVB's every moves or decisions. But the examples you have quoted above: - QPR, Spammers and Villa were all after we played mid-week Europa League games and we won all three games. - WBA was the second game of the season, and later turned out they were quite a compact...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    hehe, I can't wait to go back to the days when our manager would tell his striker to "just fudging run about", use "terriffic" in every sentences and find every opportunity to remind his listeners that "they only have two points from eight games".

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    This about sums up how I felt when I read through SUIYHA's posts over the last few pages. He has put forward a number of what I think are good points, though in my opinion is that it could be better if he cut down on the use of subjective examples. Let me recap what I gathered from his...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Cheers, I also enjoy reading your posts. Missed the discussion here when I have to go through a lengthy absence earlier this year. I have two mates who are so into this playing style issue that they have questioned AVB’s every moves and will start to mention that this game is so boring a...

    The Goon Thread

    They are not all English, clue Ramsey. So if you include Bale, Townsend and Rose, our sextet will beat them hands down.

    The Goon Thread

    I don't mean that the transfer profits paid for the entire stadium. But they helped, at least in terms of making it easier to obtain the required financing. The bankers won't lend to them so much money if they didn't see a viable return/repayment scheme.

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Strong XI, yeah, but my Loserpool mate thinks they also have a squad that is not that far from ours, and most of their team has played longer together than us. That's why he confidently predicted they could finish above us this year. It's all persoanl view. Any new manager that came in will...

    **Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

    Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13** The only youth player still in City's title winning squad that has played more than 1/3 of their league game was Richards. Anelka (PSG to Arsenal), Cana and Sakho are all bought (or poached if you prefer) from other teams. If you...

    **Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

    Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13** Man Utd had some wonderful youth players coming through in the mid '90s, and that's the real cornerstone to their success. Even before that, when they won their first title in years, they also have a few self-grown youth players in...

    ****** Tottenham Hotspur vs Stoke City OMT *******

    Yeah, was shocked, as the initial reports said it's a three-week injury thing.

    The Goon Thread

    My personal view is that it has more to do with French football (and Span also got wealthier) now has more money and and they have more ability to prevent their youth players being poached at a shockingly low price. Also, Wenger has left France too long for him to have first hand information on...

    All-Time Premier League Goals per Game

    hmm...shouldn't it be that the most likely number of goals from this game is 1.2 (simple average)? So the most probable scorelines would be 0-0, 1-0/0-1. *edit* d*mn, I though the goals per game means average number of goals from each game, just read your post again and guess it should be...

    Victimpool FC - Klopp leaving, grown men crying

    So, it can be agreed that Loserpool didn't want to lose Ince, at least not at £60k? The fee was set by tribunal (you can google those old news reports), and obviously, tribunal is only required if the two clubs can't agree on the fee. I guess we can also agree that it's baffling for Loserpool...

    Victimpool FC - Klopp leaving, grown men crying

    To clear things up, Loserpool didn’t sell Ince, he was at the end of his contract and declined the offer of a new one which would have seen him stay on Merseyside. There was no fee involved in his transfer, Blackpool were simply ordered by tribunal to pay the standard ‘development’ fee. There's...
