    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I do think you should perhaps acknowledge that you can take a smaller narrative and position it as a bigger one to perhaps suit your own argument. LOL - you made it out as if I was blaming Kane for Ukraine, Iran and all the rest of Trumps misdemeanours. I really wasn't. I was mostly giving...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    Haven't caught up with the pod yet, but my thoughts would be 1) Signing a manager who wasn't a stylistic fit. No probs with moving Ange on though. We probably should have canned Frank earlier and gone straight into a permanent replacement like De Zerbi. 2) Not listening to Scott Munn's...

    Fantastic documentary that. Mikey seems like a good guy with a great attitude.

    Nah, I never put it all on Southgate. You said that, not me. I think the defenders on the pitch could have corrected the Maguire/Young issue but I'm not sure what Hendo could do about what was happening around him to be fair. That overload was on the manager and he didn't change it all game...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Yeah, I thought he would have gone a year or two earlier to be fair. That was never my issue with Harry. I just think in 2021 when he had the City interest he changed his disposition as a Spurs player. Staying in Miami when we had a new manager through the door and making it all about him didn't...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I was in Moscow in 2018 for Croatia. Southgate was a prick. He allowed Maguire to pull Ashley Young inside marking his man leaving Dele to manage the entire left side. Maguire and Stones were both free all of the time. Neither marked a player. That left Hendo running around like a mad man and to...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I'm actually not playing the blame game though. That is perhaps your narrative. I'm actually stating that when the dynamic between manager and player isn't right then bad things can happen. I think @Bedfordspurs said it above. It's about belief in the manager who needs to get the players...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I think it is probably hard to contextualise it now. As you know, I was on a different forum in those days but happily remember some really intelligent posters calling Kane out in the moment for the things he did. I saw and heard it on the terraces as well as an England fan. You could see that...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    It's not negativity really though. It was the reality we found ourselves in with him. I saw it as an England fan as well. The difference was the England fans weren't biased Spurs fans like we were. They would call Kane out on the terraces, which eventually happened with guys like Roy Keane and...

    There has to be compromise both ways though. Ultimately, it is down to the manager to get the players to believe in their philosophies. However, it is also down to the players to have some faith and, even if they have doubts, to knuckle down and follow the manager. The latter has been a long...

    Don't they play the same position? I bet his brother hopes he fecks off to England so he can get his shirt back :tearsofjoy:

    +++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

    What we get to find out is why RDZ gets paid the big bucks. In an ideal world, Kinsky would come in, keep a clean sheet and get MOTM. That script is unfortunately not in keeping with our season though. Perhaps the football gods have finished having a laugh at our expense and will give us a break.

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Now it's been a couple of years, it's quite interesting to look back at the window when Kane left and what sort of happened afterwards. OUTS: Kane, Winks, Sanchez, Dier, Moura, Ndombele, Lloris - 121m Euro INS: Johnson, Maddison, VDV, Porro, Kulu, Dragu, Vic, Veliz, Phillips - 272m Euro With...

    I saw a photo of Vic in a hospital bed the other day. The caption was something like "Vicario has had a hernia operation. He will miss the next 3 managers" Only Spurs right?

    The Lange angles are interesting. On one hand Spurs fans assume he's not got the personality type to lead player transfer negotiations. On the other they clearly see him as senior enough to select managers. For me, we can't have it both ways. What I can categorically say is that Lange's job...

    It does occur to me that our society nowadays want to make Roberto's clumsy words worse than Greenwood's horrible acts. They don't want to accept an apology because it doesn't suit their own agenda. I'm totally with @Mikey10 in that this entire topic should either be parked or moved over to...

    Just gonna do my normal broken record post, as I did with every manager since time began. You can look at managers from afar but you can never really judge them until they are your manager. As a fan, you're never going to see things through the eyes of an opposition fan. We have lived and...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    I've always thought there were 2 major parts to the Greenwood thing. There was the well publicised legal case that ended up with him not being convicted of anything. Then more importantly there was the decisions that one of the biggest football clubs in the world took over their player. We...

    Would there perhaps be some logic that Tudor put this squad through their paces and got them way fitter than Frank had them. Now De Zerbi depends on those fitness levels to bed in his system and get results across 7 games.

    It's the pendulum effect. It now swings way back to stylistic fit and the other factors are deprioritised in the selection process.
