Intense Ramsey Street vibes
Easiest people in the World to wind up.
I got all the usual "Pommie bastard" banter whilst I was over there, which got quite edgy when I promptly responded that we (The British) own them.
After the usual round of "Fuck off you Pommie Bastard, we're independent" vitriolic, I calmly pointed them towards the flag they have in the top left corner of their own National flag.
"Badge of ownership fellas" was my response... Light Blue touch paper, stand well back...
It went off then big time, with me sitting back, feet crossed on my desk, basking in the waves if angst rolling my way.
After the initial blow had eased off somewhat, I pulled out a handful of coins and asked them who's head was stamped on all of them.
I then walked out of the office whistling Rule Brittania
They sulked for days after that.
It's nice to be excited for the first time in ages
This appointment has definitely got the traditional "Spurs" vibes around it, in the sense that we're taking a big punt on a guy that is essentially untested in a major league.
But I appreciate that we're at least taking risks now.

Mate, I swore to myself I would remain calm and reserved about his appointment but that felt like a warm embrace from a caring father. Major Poch vibes already, I really hope this works out for him as much for us.I believed every word he said.
My manager!
He's got that cool 'double voice' thing that Sean Dyche has - you know, reasonably normal 'human voice' with an additional 'gravel voice' underneath. It's the sort of voice that says "trust me, come with me, run through brick walls with me, but don't fuck with me, or else". Which we desperately need in a manager.
EDIT: One of the things I liked in all the recent 'history' about him is the bit that basically says 'if you do what I tell you to do, and it goes wrong, then that's on me, and I'll defend you accordingly and take responsibility myself - as long as you do what I've told you to do' - I don't think he said it directly, I think it was maybe an ex-player of his who said it. But I like that - very different to Conte for a start...
Think it was Tuesday but maybe he's holiday destination is Enfield.
Probably something filmed when he joined and now released
He is now officially the coolest guy on the planet.

Good luck to him!!! I still have reservations about this appointment, but I hope he will prove his doubters wrong.
Yeah woe is us.Easiest people in the World to wind up.

Marooned on the largest island in the world. Natural resources in abundance, great weather, great economy. All on our own with no pesky neighbours to annoy us.
Meanwhile Mother England... Small rain soaked island in the North Sea and sharing borders with the bloody Welsh and Scots
Woe is us. World's happiest convicts.
It’s not live, mate. He probably recorded it the other day.
He said "Finally" seems a slip there. Like this has been done for a while.
Foul voted for use of holibobs
Yes, it was clearly pre-recorded.
Ange seemed rather nervous, and wasn't overly fluent, saying "sort of" etc.
If I was directing a pre-recorded piece like that, I'd have filmed several takes, from different angles, so that either Ange finally relaxed & delivered his message perfectly. Or by cutting between the various angles, his delivery could have been smoothed out.
If I'm interviewing a politician live, you hope to get stumbles, hesitations, any tells. That's the point.
When you're trying to present a new leader at their best, you can help them, & the Spurs PR team are usually much slicker.
That said, it doesn't much matter in the long term. At least Ange was very positive & respectful about our "fantastic football club".
I don't recall Conte ever seeming that enthusiastic about the famous Spurs...

He strikes me as a 'I'll do one take, face on and then you can leave me the fuck alone' kind of guy.
But is he really, “big”?
I’m expecting him to tower over the players like son of Kong now.
He better not disappoint.
