    I think Norris has more talent and higher speed when in the zone. The faster driver on talent. But he can tilt or lose his sh1t more easily. Probably McLaren vs Redbull again. The first race tells a lot. Although last year it was exciting because the opening race didn’t reflect the whole...

    Cristian Romero

    Wow! Our fans eh. Player is out for many months. Has a bit of a rocky opening few minutes in his first game back, then actually plays quite well…and our fans jump on player. No words.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    Its multi-faceted isn't it? - The press is all game and intense, though not particularly coordinated. (a big bug bear of mine). So players have less energy for movement when we do get possession. - Players like Poro, Romero, Oderbert etc have been out the side and can be a bit rusty with...

    And both their goals came as a result of us trying to play fast on the break, and losing the ball.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    That is the tantalising thing: if we get it right it is a system that can prosper. But the ‘operating window’ is small. I go back to the analogy of a stripped out racing car. Lotus race cars under Colin Chapman were famous for pushing the limits of weight savings. All the components were...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    Maybe that is how he started. But without the CBs and a high line maybe it went out the window? The only coordination seems to be the cut back cross across goal. And we don’t always look in tune on that either. But tbf with a different team each week how could we look coordinated? I think it...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    I feel like the prevailing emotion in the stands is amplified at our stadium more than others. Which is how the stadium bowl and roof is designed right. An intense atmosphere is made that much more intense which is felt on the pitch - see the Chelsea games where things tend to get heated on the...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    Or…the skill level of our players. Our passing is many degrees better than it has been under previous managers. We’ve been lacking in passing ability for a long time pre-Ange. Now we’re better but to play this system, we are still lacking at times. My issue with Ange is the lack of cohesive...

    Stop putting words into peoples mouths - that I certainly didn’t say - and trying to make things black and white when there is complexity.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    So often the passing and movement was a bit off. Credit to them for putting pressure on every run, every pass. When we made a successful pass normally under pressure, it was hard for the next man to take in their stride, and then the next ball suffered. So many times we missed the final ball or...

    A bit school yard from us. No lack of commitment. A lack of team cohesion though.

    *** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v AZ - 6.3.25 ***

    Thought we played well in the main. A bit disjointed, lacking some confidence and fluidity and that was the difference. Can we score? Will be a tough ask. But pleased to see a more polished team back on the pitch even if they are rusty

    Putin & Russia

    Scroll back a few pages and what you outline here is already a massive step change from previous posts. Only a few months back few could even acknowledge there was Russian support in Ukraine prewar. That is how out of kilter with reality our perspective is. You also seemed to find it hard to...

    Putin & Russia

    What you seem to be saying is you’ll choose the historical narrative (WWII) to fit your bias. Are you able to step away and actually look at the context of recent interventions? You don’t think the west had interests both geopolitical and resource based when acting in all the above listed...

    The US funding of ‘pro democracy’ groups in Ukraine date back to the early 2000s. I preempted your post and gave you one link, but can provide more. The more detailed history of Yanachovich and Maiden can be seen in that link above. As noted it’s a left leaning publication not some trump...

    Putin & Russia

    You do realise Yanacovich was freely and fairly elected by all Ukrainians as a pro Russian president? You knew that of course. You also obviously know that this democratically elected president was disposed by a coup that was in part fuelled by US funding of far right groups? The UK had a...

    The aid budget is the tip of an iceberg. The sums we are about to spend on arms will be paid for by spending less on other things. At a time when public finances are squeezed - we spend more than we receive in tax. Someone has to pay. Funding for services and people in the UK will take a hit.

    And the kid getting bullied used to be the bullies close friend until we came along and pulled them away from their friendship. The role the US has played manipulating Ukraine away from Russia is ignored. Conflicts don’t erupt out of nowhere there are two decades of history that are largely...
