I couldn't give a rat's left bollock what Keown has to say about anything, whether he agrees with me or not.

You are weird full stop, and need to quit worrying about other people having opinions. I was blindsided by the Ange appointment, put off by the SPL it's an inferior league just like the A league. His J league work made me more hopeful. Then he rocked up with no coaching staff and started employing his BBQ guests, that worried me. But I got behind him and was initially impressed even said holding my hands up.
Then I just watched the games home and away live and amid the euphoria I started to see issues and I said so. Then I met Ange, seemed really nice then he started to act pretty bloody odd, in interviews chippy and hostile. And I said this isn't the man I met.
Then the ineptitude is glaring but the people who have brought in can not face it. That's been the narrative throughout. Like most sensible poster I will judge Frank on the football on the improvements however incremental. Only the people looking to create fake divides and culture wars want this to devolve into you're an anti coach, or pro coach type. Each case is MUST be judged in isolation. I like to think even the most opinionated here can do this. The King's dead long live the King.
It’s actually painful listening to him talk. The other presenters seem a bit embarassed for him.
Wait, so this is all your fault? He met you once then went off the rails!?
What Keown is really thinking...
"Who do spurs think they are binning off the league to win a trophy. Thats not how it works. We need Little Spursy back in their box. Frank will have them consistently finishing between 8th and 4th without ever winning anything and that is exactly how it should be. That is good for spurs and they should be happy with that."
It's cute you credit Martin Keown with "thinking".
Hours? What's Levy doing, counting the coppers in the office swear jar out one by one?
You were blithering about Dortmund as if our south stand is anything like the yellow wall.
The club have actively stood in the way of having a singing section in the south stand.
It’s funny because it’s true …
Just got to make sure Ange's check for $8,000,000 clears
Cheques? What is this, 1983?
The club reaps what it sow's
You have no idea who can and can't coach tho. You have told yourself you can tell from watching on the TV, that doesn't make it true.
Anyway stop banging on about Ange in the Frank thread. All I will say about Frank is that he has the exact same type of cult following at Brentford as Ange was building at Spurs. Hopefully, he will be able to build one at Spurs because he won't win shit without it.
as per the Klopp quotes, everyone has tactics and analysis, the difference between winning or not is emotion and belief and those with the ability to get people to follow them are the most common winners in sport. Phil Jackson in the NBA being another great example, pure cult leader.
You seriously overestimate Martin Keown's capacity for rational sequential thought. Let's have another look at his MRI.
...and this is what he's writing, with that impressive 4-colour Bic he got for Christmas...
