    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    He didn't want to come to us back when we had better players than we do now. And Levy reportedly didn't want a diva like Nagelsmann after the Mou and Conte affairs. Which is why we got a pleasant, if mediocre, yes-man in Postecoglou. Plus, I'd question if this wing play we're focused on is any...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    He never said he wouldn't manage Chelsea. Did say he would never manage Arsenal or Barcelona (having been an Espanyol and Spurs man). He's kept his word on that. You're entitled to your views, but in my experience Poch is one of the most honest and honorable men I've seen at the helm of Spurs...

    Set Pieces

    To be fair, nothing wrong with our set pieces today (defensively, anyway). Momentary lapse in concentration, happens to every team (although Romero is picking up a habit of being unreliable in derbies). More want to draw attention to Vicario's flapping and his general inability to control his...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I agree, and being Canadian I don't mind that situation. ;) But he will be there to coach them at that group stage, at a minimum. So, engaged until 2026. He's a man of his word mate. He gave them his word, he isn't going back on it. Man doesn't even have an agent, so it's even more important...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    He won't be available before 2026 - he was signed to coach them through to their World Cup on home soil in 2026, and that isn't going to change because he's given them his word on that. Our first chance to re-sign Poch came after sacking Conte - we instead went with a mediocre journeyman fresh...

    James Maddison

    This summer mate. Not last summer - we were apparently chasing Eze this summer. Ended up balking at the release clause and not signing anyone there, because we apparently felt a kid from the Swedish Sunday league was enough cover. How did you think I was referring to 2023 when I mentioned...

    James Maddison

    Remember when we were apparently chasing Eze all summer, and ended up predictably cheaping out on him? We've been playing a system that employs two attacking midfielders in Maddison and Kulusevski, and I think part of the reason for that is to make up for the fact that Maddison has declined...

    *** OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Scum ***

    If I'm counting right, that brings us back to Poch's first season. It all kicked off for him around the tenth game (I think the Harry free kick against Villa?). Maybe it all kicks off for Postecoglou in his 50th game, i.e, by October. You have to account for the disparity in quality - Poch was...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Exactly, and well put. It's the fundamental reason why I don't really care if he stays or goes - nothing ever changes either way.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Yes, after four games. After ten or so, if we're still in this position, then yes Levy will sack him and hire some other mediocre journeyman just like him. But for now, he's got time to turn it around.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Smart call. It's a similar system, albeit with more cutting edge - and after all we dropped 65m on their striker, so Iraola knows him at least. But personally I don't think it'll come to that - we'll pick up a few points here and there and Postecoglou will muddle along as he has since his luck...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I feel you, but it is what it is mate. We aren't sacking him unless we're in the bottom half, and we will pick up just enough wins to stay in and around the top six. He's better than the rough majority of coaches in this league, and that's what we'll get out of him - better than the rough...

    Dominic Solanke

    Bit useless today, but in fairness he had nothing to feed on. We didn't buy a world-beater who can create by himself - we were spoiled by having Harry do that for so many years. Needs better service, and he'll get a roughly half-decent goal tally. Not sure you can expect anything more from him.

    *** OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Scum ***

    If anything, this is more concerning than the loss. Loss is okay. We completed fairly decently, wasn't an embarrassment. Where we're at as a club, competing against them is the best we can hope for. And outside of a golden period under Poch, this has always been true for 25 years. Why this...

    ENIC

    True, but also depends on what you define as fairly often. Since the heyday of Poch, we have been in the CL once in five seasons. Personally think that's around the average we will have under ENIC, especially in this era of the big boys spending ever more and more ambitious newer clubs joining...

    Like I said to @Bedfordspurs , if I post regularly, I get accused of being obsessed. If I post rarely, I get accused of only posting at advantageous times by the forum police. I can't win either way, so I don't bother playing that game mate. And besides, I figure people know my views on our...

    Re: DepressedBloke, if he actually is depressed, I know where he's coming from. Been through it myself, and this club is not a good one to follow if you're looking for an escape from a dark place. Most of the time it just makes you more hurt/angry/frustrated, not less. But that's why folks here...

    True, but doesn't really change much. Used to post here all the time once - been here since January 2012, have 12,000 posts on this place after all. All that really changes when you post a lot versus when you don't post much, is that people go from calling you obsessed to calling you someone...

    Ehhhh....qualify that with *mostly*, and you'd be right. But being on the opposite side to a lot of this forum on some...issues of significance, including our dear owners, I've found we certainly aren't perfect in that regard. Doesn't take much to set some people off.
