It can come across that way. I think he says that more with him not having the usual pedigree for this level and feeling he has to justify and defend his appointment, that he has earned the opportunity, if you know what I mean.

Kompany looks he has the Bayern gig, well, I'd say Postecoglou has earned this shake of the sauce bottle.
Fair enough. Tottenham have been around a long time hopefully he will show some respect in future.
 
Is that Bognor Regis, Cyril’s brother?

Funnily enough in the mid 80s I was in the same rehabilitation hospital near Slough with his younger brother David
Me for my neck and David with a bad knee sadly from which he never recovered to play pro football again
Top bloke and was the spitting image of Cyril!
Liked a brandy or three at night!

Liam Brady was also a patient and it was similar to Lilleshall
Liam was with the Spam at the time and also had a bad knee
Decent guy tbf
 
And why is that?

It’s not far from me and the locals call it SkegVegas

I suppose you prefer Grimsby?

I think you just answered your own question!!

Never been to Skekvegas or Grimsby actually.
More of a Norfolk coast person where the best turkeys are bred.

Holkham and Burnham Market these days. Great Yarmouth and Cromer as a youngster. I do love Norfolk.

Bootiful!!!

Actually Hunstanton is nearer and we usually go there for the day or Wells-next-the-sea, Cromer or Sheringham

Friends in Holt which is another lovely place
 
That seems a bit harsh a statement to a Spurs supporter in my opinion. In the times when Tottenham had success they have had leaders who were loyal and humble. Bullshit baffles brains it seems. You can say anything you like but the way we were set -up before the City game, all the ' i wanna win' bs doesn't count for much. I look serious so you better watch out.. no matter what reasonable question is asked.
Eh?

He's been quite clear in what he says, he's aiming for the title. It's only halfwits with an agenda that can't see that.

If he came out and said we're just hoping to get into CL, you and your ilk would be moaning about lack of ambition.

it's just talk. all the corny life advice and i did this and that. "I want to win ! , I'm a winner !" wow "I, I ,i me" 'things have got to change around here because I'm the man" ... embarrassing

Of course it’s all talk. What the fuck are you expecting from an interview? Did you think he’d start juggling? Whittle a pool cue out of a branch? Do a crossword?

It’s like you’ve never seen managers or players being interviewed before.

Don’t piss anyone off, don’t be too interesting and don’t be too dull. That’s it.

Yup, ilk. Halfwits with agendas

What is embarrassing is reading "fans" digging him out for talking positively about what he intends to bring. You'd rather he say "hey, I'm just here for the paycheck, we're just here to make up the numbers?"

🤡

Which is why I don't understand why fans are questioning a manager who wants to win. It's really sad fans are calling a manager who has the ambition delusional.

Was Liam’s sister Karen there as well?

It's just the usual suspects who knew nothing about him when he was appointed, other than Celtic, and decided they didn't like him. Throw in the fact that he's Australian, and this perception that Aussies are "arrogant," and you have the "ilk."

The irony is that it's ignorant arrogance from people who haven't a fraction of his knowledge or ability.
