If it puts your over-sensitive nose out of joint then it’s not my worry. Admin said it was okay and it’s more relevant than fictional film or TV characters.
There’s an ignore button for the easily offended.
To be fair, I think your point has been made now. Keeping it now could be seen as antagonistic.

Your choice, but I'd advise changing it, if only to remove one more reason for a cunt off.
 
Fair enough.

Poch was attacking and gung-ho in comparison to Conte.

Pep is Gung-Ho is Ange Ball is Gung-Ho...

Bielsa was Gung-Ho compared to any and every other fucker in the league! ....Part of which I'd define as trying to play at a technical level that your squad can't cope with.... At that point the management itself is questionable. (A major criticism of Eddie Howe until he spent a few months hanging out with Simeone! lol)

Getting your ass smacked every week cos you're wedded to a philosophy isn't good management nor tactically astute.

Pep's not Gung-Ho cos he has the squad to execute..... Much like Poch did. Neither were as single-minded as Bielsa was at Leeds.



Not sure where Conte has anything to do with it.
 
Was his version of Bielsa ball.

Pressing and winning the ball back.

Attacking FBs, 4-2-3-1

possession football.

the foundations are the same.

Bielsa just did it with much less talent and much less depth in his Leeds squad.
Biesla never wanted control, he wants to attack as quickly as possible, his teams never get a break, hence why in club football they often run out of steam.

Biesla was a big influence on Poch but he developed his own style which is closer to Pep’s.

The cult of the manager is so fucking weird. In no other walk of life, other than perhaps theoretical academia, are people fawned over for rigidly sticking to ideals and principles in the face inadequate talent/materials to complete the task at hand per those ideals and principles.

They even get people blaming their bosses for not buying them a nail because they failed trying to hammer in a screw while the screwdriver was sitting there the whole time.

Fuck managers with a "style". Give me a manager smart enough to figure out the best style for the players they have available.

to program a squad according to a manager's style requires competence and time.
it's easier to buy only market's occasions in whatever positions and roles and then it's all on the manager
 

Even though Davinson Sanchez seems to stand close to the exit door at Tottenham Hotspur, the club apparently won’t just let him go anywhere.


A story from Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra today claims that while the defender is currently on pre-season with Spurs’ squad in Australia, he’s sorting his future as well.

And it turns out there have been two bids made to Tottenham to sign the 27-year-old this summer: one from Spartak Moscow and one from Galatasaray.

The Russian club reportedly put €10m on the table, while the Turkish side offered €9m, and none of the bids were enough to convince Spurs of the sale.

Sierra adds that more clubs are interested in Sanchez, but those are still to make their attempts for the signing.

Sanchez is currently valued by Transfermarkt at €15m, and has his contract with Tottenham running until 2024.
That means Spurs risk losing the defender for free next year, and seem to be making a bold statement by not accepting those current offers.

We now shall see if the interested clubs will come forward with higher bids.

Why does a username have to be relevant to football?

Maybe I should change my name to Sol_Campbell then seeing as he played for us and it's football-related.

I see no problems with this.
 

Yves Bissouma’s form for Brighton & Hove Albion during the 2021/22 season convinced Tottenham Hotspur to reportedly invest £30m to buy him last summer.


He struggled to impress and finished his debut season at Spurs with 28 appearances [10 league starts]. An ankle injury forced him to miss a chunk of the season.

The midfielder could have an option to leave Tottenham in the summer window as Akşam state Fenerbahçe have identified him as a target.


The Turkish club have been active in this window and have already made seven additions to their squad.
They have no intention to stop and the Yellow Canaries have set their sights on the Tottenham player. The report states ‘work has started’ and an ‘offer will be made’ to bring the 26-year-old to Istanbul in this window.

It’s claimed Fenerbahçe are looking to sign the Mali international on a loan deal with an option to buy. The report adds they have already established contact with his agent and ‘talks are ongoing’ for a potential deal this summer.

Akşam don’t mention if Fenerbahçe have initiated talks with Ange Postecoglou’s side over a deal for Bissouma.
Who wrote this garbage? If it’s true and he leaves and PEH stays, I’m done

Surely we won't send him to fucking Moscow in the middle of a war. He hasn't lived up to our hopes, but that's a bit harsh.

Even without the war I said already I don't want him going there anyway, as the racism is off the charts.
We can't send him anywhere, if we accept the bid he can just say no and that's the end of it.
