To Dare is too Dear
He also called it regarding Conte though and not wanting him at Man Utd. I dislike Neville but he probably knows a fuck more than me about what makes a good manager. All his quotes make sense.
Gary Neville insisted Tottenham must keep faith with Ange Postecoglou and back him in the transfer market.
"I don't know whether there's a little bit of fatigue or a little bit of a disconnect at the end.
"The manager looks - and I say this in a respectful manner - like he has a little less faith in them during this period than he did at the start of season.
"That's natural when they're not quite doing what he wants them to do.
"When Spurs play the way they play under Ange Postecoglou, it's high tempo or nothing, when it looks really bad. There's no in between.
"It's like Liverpool have been in the past seven or eight years. I think when Liverpool are at their best is when they're really electric.
"It's the same with Spurs and when it's not there, it really stands out more than it does with other teams.
"So I think that's what he'll be a little annoyed with in the last couple of weeks and he'll be thinking already, 'Who's going to be on the bus next season and who's not?'
"What type of players is he going to sign at the end of the season? One thing he's not going to do is give up on his values and principles - he's going to play his way - so he's going to bring in players that play his way.
"I hope the club really back him because this is a guy to get behind. The last four years have really been a drain at Spurs - sometimes you've watched them and thought you know what you're going to get, but it isn't Spurs.
"Spurs have got a style, character and personality as a football club - an arrogance in the way they play - and he brings all those things.
"They should invest in that. I know they finished fourth and second at times in the last seven or eight years but the fans should be really happy with how they're finishing fifth.
"Sometimes for a football fan, it's how you finish fifth, it's how you lose, because you know you're going to have good times. He has brought highs this season."
Lol @ putting “title” and “Postecoglou” in the same sentence. He should be focused on getting Tottenham back into top 4 next season, cause I think he won’t be sacked at the end of the season.
But with Chelsea emerging as a top 4 contender, Newcastle wanting to get back in Champions League after having a taste of it, Woolwich and City the tip of the spear by the looks of it, depending how Liverpool and United do this summer and under new managers (maybe not the case for United), possibly Villa will be in the mix too although I suspect Champions League will take a toll on their league results, the competition will be fiercer than it was this season.
So yeah, good luck getting “second season” title challenge or whatever the fuck you lot think we’ll be doing next season.
Not sure I believe Neville knows what makes a good manager tbh, he was a shit manager himself and he may not have wanted Conte at United because of how explosive and short term he is but Conte is a win now manager, that comes with the territory, he's never been a long term appointment for any club tbh.
He wouldn't be saying United should be happy finishing 5th that's for sure. Whilst he isn't wrong in some of the stuff he is saying, I know that when he truly sees someone as a threat to his precious United, he is busy trying to sell them off to other clubs.
Anyone from Chile league can keep and play pass ball better than Emerson.
Not saying he's not good but given the style, he can't fit in.

We all get things wrong, last year you were adamant Woolwich were gonna win the league and look what happened, this year you've doubled down on the embarrassment but you do you.
There's so much stupid stuff said on a forum by everyone that I doubt anyone cares who makes themselves look stupid on here, no-one really gives a shit really - it's not a court of law mate, like no-one's really gonna hold you accountable for your L's on here bro
That said I'm fully behind the manager, things are concerning but there's light at the end of the tunnel, I can see it.
We deserved to win against liverpool yesterday as well as against the goons, we were robbed.

You see? You’ve done it again. You’ve pre-emptively celebrated being right.
Don’t go towards the light, Shady. We’d miss you.
I did the same last season and I was right, the chances are I'll be right again
I know you're scared about making such predictions after you egg on your face last year but it's okay if you get things wrong I'm sure we'll forgive you
Four disagrees on this post. Currently 23 points adrift of the top. This is the stuff I’m talking about. It’ll likely end up being 28.

I’ve already made predictions. The only ones I’ve made about them this season is that they would finish miles ahead of us. I’ve repeatedly said I don’t think they would win the league.
I did think they’d win it last season because there was a period where City looked like they were having a sabbatical. I won’t underestimate them this season as I learn from my mistakes, Shady.
Or maybe he’s saying it because he knows ange doesn’t know his arse from his elbow. He wants to see him stay here so that we regress further and united overtake us
You can't take what Neville says seriously. He was Ten Hag in for absolutely ages despite it being clear many months ago that he was a lame duck manager so if he's like that about his own club, he can't be relied upon to comment on Spurs. Neville may be a good pundit but he has shown time and again his opinion on managers can get in the bin, he always advocates to give managers much more time than they deserve.
There's one basic difference.
Both Woolwich and Liverpool went out and bought the very best players in the world for their key positions.
We won't.
We need to start being serious and stop using clubs who back their managers for comparison.
Honestly guys. It's just downright silly
Wrong...it was at least 15 minutes....!Ha ha ha!! Did he really
That's a fucking classic. .
It is starting to get fucking irritating. Talksport know this hence why they are saying it!
