    I believe another important aspect is how damaged our reputation was after sacking both Mourinho and Conte. We may think whatever we want about them, but their names still command - rightly or wrongly - a lot of respect in world football. There aren't that many people who'd be willing to bet on...

    What I do find interesting is that you put the blame solely on the whisperer but don't seem to hold any grudge on the sucker who took the bait. It's not a dig, by the way. I've had the same conversation a week or two ago with a young man on a more dramatic topic (a woman being under the...

    Not at all and I certainly wasn't trying to imply that you have but let's just say I wanted to make the pass he gets in these parts from some more believable! :D In other words, that's just me being obnoxious...

    You've been one of the first to say that some people's judgement on Postecoglou was clouded by personal feelings (and rightly so, in my opinion). I'd say the same applies to you and Mourinho, wouldn't you agree?

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v The Cottagers ***

    Loans are well and good if a player isn't ready but, in my opinion, there's no substitute to testing them at the level you want them to play at. In England, people think being sent on loan for four or five years is a mandatory step in any player's development. Maybe it is in England, because the...

    Does that make him a zero, then? :D

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v AZ 13.03.2025 **

    Defensively, he's never been a world-beater (funny thing is, I talked with an Argentina fan not long ago and his assessment of Romero was the polar opposite of the general consensus on here) but his ability to beat the press is a huge asset, in my opinion. Still think he'd make a much better...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v AZ 13.03.2025 **

    1) Yes! Since the Liverpool thrashing, I don't trust my gut feelings anymore but it's not unrealistic to think we could beat AZ. 2) Danso made a decent start to his Spurs career but, quite frankly, I think we're missing peak Romero (not Romero's shadow who played against Bournemouth) a lot more...

    With all due respect to your right to feel disgusted (it's a tongue-in-cheek comment but seriously, I respect all opinions so, please, don't be offended), I think the exact same words were used towards Mourinho, Conte and Espirito Santo, to name but three recent managers. Hell, I remember...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Emirates Marketing Project ***

    The only difference being that Mourinho had two of the best forwards in the world. When left with a lot of freedom, Son and Kane were almost unstoppable. Unfortunately, the rest of our team didn't have what it takes to thrive in such a system but, at least, I can understand the logic of giving...

    I believe that's why they're called opinions in the first place and not 'facts' or 'truths'. You didn't ask for it but in my opinion, this is one of the biggest problems of contemporary societies: we (collectively) can no longer entertain the idea that people think differently or have a...

    Putin & Russia

    I'm not sure I understand the reasoning. If Russia is massively weakened, then how is a threat to all of Europe? There's a lot of propaganda on both sides of this war, but Russia is definitely winning a war of attrition here. What makes you think they are on the brink of collapse? If anything...

    I agree there's no way Levy is going to sack him if he wins the Europa League. He'd be crazy to do so anyway. Just imagine the backlash if the next appointment turns out to be bust... Having said that, winning the EL - while a great achievement - would not necessarily change my opinion. What...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Ipswich Town FC ***

    That's a fair point but I'd argue that we really need a bounce and beating a team in the bottom three would be a step in the right direction. Plus, I've given up on Postecoglou but I still secretly hope he will prove me wrong and win the last 13 games of the season and the Europa League to boot!

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Ipswich Town FC ***

    If we can't even beat Ipswich, the next couple of months will feel long and boring. On a side note, one of the first articles I read in a British paper (I think it was the Telegraph) about Spurs when I was a kid was about a tribunal deciding the fee for Jason Dozzell's move to Spurs. There was...

    Putin & Russia

    I think it's important to draw a line between Europe and European Union here. Quite frankly, I wouldn't live anywhere else in the world if given a choice. There are so many things to enjoy on that continent we could spend the rest of our lives debating them. The EU is slightly different, in...

    Putin & Russia

    I believe you are correct but each situation is different. Again, I can't claim any particular knowledge in this field, but I'd say that coal was still one of the best energy sources in the 1930s and it was easily accessible. Thanks to its nuclear power plants, France is certainly in a better...

    Putin & Russia

    I very rarely partake in these conversations but I enjoy lurking here because, depending on where you live, there's such a different perspective on these matters. For the sake of controversy, let me offer mine, as someone who spends a few months a year in Croatia and the rest of his time in...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    If we did that, expect the same conversations we've been having all season: 'there's no point in sacking him midway through the season', 'who'd be willing to replace him', 'once the players return from injury, we'll see a different Spurs side', etc. It's a typical escalation of commitment. Once...
