Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Been to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Neither are good places to retire to.
Massive cities, hot as fucking hell in the summer, too hot to be outside even at night and just getting a drink, let alone affording one is ridiculous.

I lived and worked in Abu Dhabi and Muscat, Oman for ten years and spent many weekends in Dubai. Muscat was a great place to live, Abu Dhabi not so much, but still OK. I had the chance to move to Dubai or Qatar for another four years but turned both down.

Yes it was ridiculously hot and the humidity in summer was even worse than the heat, but you do get used to it and we still went out and about even in the summer - mad dogs and Englishmen, etc. Alcohol was expensive but readily available in hotels and at home (as a non-Muslim resident I had a license to purchase it). It was safe for the family and the education at the British school was excellent. Those were great times.

Retire there? Nah.

Bottom line is Poch took us to the high water mark of modern times, even if he did not reach the summit. Levy could have invested and he may well have done it. We don't know, but Poch was closer than anyone else.

No one ever had to defend Poch having the relegation line written right below our club's name in the table, or Poch having lost more games than he won, as Ange has.

Poch won more than twice as many league games (113) as he lost (46). The Australian donut has won 31 and lost 34, with 8 of those wins coming in his first 10. He's utterly useless.

Do you actually compare Solanke with Kane and current Son with prime Son?
 
Thought I'd opened up the clutter thread by mistake! 😲

This place, man

At this stage, I'd nearly accept Ange being fired right now if it would stop the endless, boring, post after post, from the usual suspects spouting the same horseshit over and over again. Responding to them just gives them oxygen.

Of course, the reality is that when a new manager comes in the whole process will start again. Rinse and fucking repeat. Closet Gooners for the most part.

I wonder if the contemptuous closet Gooner reference might better suit those who want to keep a manager who has presided over one of our worst ever league campaigns.

Or maybe it's best to avoid cheap shots.
