Mauricio Pochettino

you either have principles or you don't

Well, you share common ground with that hugely 'principled' man dingdong Cheney, who said similar ("If you're a man of principle, then compromise is a bit of a dirty word")...which is, of course, flimflam, but there we are I suppose.

if you are not prepared to suffer for those principles, do you really have them?

I suppose it depends on your definition of 'suffering'.


the world is in a perilous place, the US is teetering on full tyranny, if now is not the time to stand up and be counted then when is?

this is nothing to do with football, this is about freedom and democracy, everyone that has enabled this is guilty by association

c'mon man, you live there, you know what is at stake here

Yes I do. And you don't. I understand deeply what's at stake, and I also understand deeply that there things at play which make playing Sir Gallahad impossible.


there is not another person in the US in this calendar year that was in the position of strength to embarrass and humiliate trump in the way that Poch could have done it this week

Absolute rubbish. I mean, it is. There are people in the US on a weekly basis in positions of far greater strength that do nothing. Daily. Weekly. Why do you think we are where we are?


he could have humbled a tyrant, and boosted the soul of the game in one fell swoop

he hid, he was complicit, he was a disgrace

I was disappointed in him in one sense, certainly, yet as I said, I don't know the full details of what was said. And honestly, I don't think anyone ever will.
I will personally wait for the facts before slamming him to the floor like you have...Infantino? Now THERE'S your quivering pile of thick, steaming complicity and disgracefulness...

If you truly believe the crap you write about cheating you're morally bankrupt.

Cheating on a football pitch, in front of the cameras and the spectators isn’t really cheating in my book, it’s finding edge and flex in the officiating of the game, it’s a valid path to winning.

Off the pitch, outside of that, it’s a whole different conversation.

So it's ok for Trump to find an edge and flex officiating of a game and get Balogun's ban to be suspended. Your book sounds like a real best seller.
