Does annoy that our name seems matched to the term bottlers constantly. We never bottled the league any of the past few years, in fact the year Leicester and Chavski won it, we were simply the team that kept going the longest while the others bottled it.
However the CL final, we bottled. Massively.
Just turned up for work.
Have we signed anyone yet?
Have we signed anyone yet?
Get back to work.
I think his job is ITK for Spurscommunity.
We were shit for weeks before the final and we were shit in the final, not sure it's bottling it.
We didn’t raise our game so maybe, but I would define bottling it as playing below the level we were at.
Making an honest living.
I wish I could get a career in the world of creative writing.
Ding ding ding. Nailed it.
Amazing how many people wet their pants over the internet.
And another one nails it.He's a guy on the internet you never have to meet. Why you so bent out of shape? If he said it to me I'd laugh and move on. It obviously touched a nerve with you so put him on ignore and forget about it.
For what it's worth, I think this sums upGOAT perfectly:
I get it. You think he was out of line. That's fair enough. Move on now eh? Get back on to the transfer subject...your posts about that are riveting!
That's all true, but Liverpool had been flying and yet in the final they were shocking. Was it 70 minutes before we decided to really attack?
Bottling it, IMHO, is when you get presented with a golden opportunity and you don't take it for whatever reason. In our case, we were 1-0 down and probably set a record for back passes to the keeper.
Maybe, not disputing the fact we were terrible but I would define bottling it as playing below your level when it comes to crunch time, I think we played pretty much at our level.
I said they were a good team back in the autumn and that their manager would have our squad playing better football.
Most of you disagreed and talked about fatigue and the world cup and the window.
Then when they win the CL everybody thinks they are a maverick because they think Liverpool are good
I had the same feeling. You just have to remember, that the Argentinian team has been a sick one for almost two decades. Weird team selections, politics and the "play the ball to Messi" mentality isn't really letting anyone flourish.
On the same note we just have to recognize the Columbian team. They tend to become better players when playing for the national team. Falcao and Cuadrado didn't look like players struggling in their clubs. Yerry Mina looked like a player that could actually play for Barcelona. But the worst part was, James looked like a player worth £60m, and I'd rather not have him at Spurs.
Despite Lo Celso struggling, you could see he had a great touch. Worryingly he wasn't a part of it when Argentina had their ten best minutes early on in the second half. I don't think we should pay much more than £53m.
Not yet. You will have to wait a little longer. First we will sign Lo Celso once Argentina finish their Copa America campaign and Ndombele will join when he gets back from his well deserved holiday
Enjoy the rest of your day at work
Ehhhh? What the fuck?Good responseNabil Bentaleb
How about fucking off to a Porto forum instead of boring all of us real Spurs fans with your fair weather lingering attraction to us based on some affection to a mediocre (thankfully) former player with a massive attitude problem?
Just to reiterate...there’s two Prem teams based in Manchester. Manchester is a city in a country called England, which is part of the UK. England has a football league, part of which is called the Premier League. In the Premier League there are two clubs called Manchester United and Manchester City. Open wide, choo choo here comes the basic information train...
It was like the Leicester season where everything went for them. Surely Liverpool won't get the same amount of luck 2 seasons in a row.:avbpray:
I could see Liverpool going for Neymar. They will push on and have their sights firmly locked on the PL title next season. I still think they are a way off City and were lucky last season with injures etc. Can't see it going the same way especially with VAR coming in... Bye, bye dubious pen decisions...
The transfer market it consuming itself:
Pogba
Sanchez
Neymar
Bale...
...the list goes on of players who have priced themselves out of a transfer... big gambles that you can argue haven't paid off (even with Bale, it's not what they hoped for).
I can see more teams getting lumbered with players on high salaries, sitting out contracts as others don't want to cover it.
This will start trickling down to smaller clubs as they increase salaries to try and keep up but without the financial muscle to cover the losses it will end up being their downfall.

No chance.
That penis will be after about £700k a week.
