I completely understand what you're saying and there's nothing wrong with being cautious. Once again he's not the second coming of Bill Nick, I just think the early rumblings have been better than normal.

If you mean calling people cunts as being constructive criticism, then perhaps you are better off staying exiled on your little island Bermuda with the home guard.
I only wanted to reassure gibbs that his binning didn't come from me.
I agree it would be silly to get carried away after today. Based on historical evidence we have to assume Poch is unlikely to last more than a couple of years as manager. If he lasts longer it will be because he's managed to take us up a level I guess.
But I think seeing the way the team played today is justification for getting excited about what he's brought to the club. Best game in I don't know how long, and basically all our players looked class. Granted the opposition were useless, but the way we played was better than what we've seen in a couple of years.
Still, when we come up against the dippers next week it will be interesting to see if we can still play to that level.
Incidentally I can't remember any "messiah" sentiments at the start of AVB's reign since most Spurs fans you'd meet in real life were suspicious of him at best (evidenced by boos in the ground from the very start of his tenure). As for Sherwood, lol. While Arry actually was our saviour a lot of Spurs fans weren't all that keen on his appointment either.
I've just realised that I can lip read!!
A very tenous QPR/Spurs link.... noticed Gerry Francis on MOTD - didn't think there was anything worse than a mullet ..... but there is, when its pure white!
Ha I intended it for people who keep arguing with each other...
This post made me piss myself, you do have a way with words don't you Gibbs, like the weight of the world was just lifted off your shoulders today.
But yeh it was nice to see none of our brain dead players on the pitch, we looked so clever with our movement.
Totally agree !! Enjoying it immensely however could've very easily conceded at least 2-3 in each game but for woeful finishing by two poor sides....the real measure will be how we deal with quality opposition that won't miss as many chances, that was the killer last season.
Fantastic to beat what's put in front of us so far and, hopefully find more good results as things come together under the new manager to truly impose his systems and style consistently. Fingers crossed rather than champagne corks popping already.
Great tempo too!Complete build up (of 48 passes) to the 3rd goal:
The front 4 first half was fucking scary good tbh
the movement the skill or technique the pace the aerial ability it was like total football 70% possesion lol

sorry, who would that be then?
There was so much wonderful about that match. I don't want to repeat what's already been said, but I'd just like to add that Poch is an absolute inspiration. Up huge in the first half and all of the substitutions were to bring in aggressive, attacking players. We saw the same thing against West Ham even after the red card. It's a mentality that truly aspires for glory.

That was a pleasure to watch, not just from an attacking aspect but defensively too. I lost count of the number of times we won the ball back, you expect the lesser teams to come and put up a decent fight.
Not only were QPR outplayed but they were outfought too.
It's been said a number of times already but it's been a while since I enjoyed a day at the Lane as much as today. Certainly better than any home game last season. The fans also seemed to respond to the performance, the atmosphere was better than it was most games last season.
Hard to add anything that hasn't been said already but a great day out with us top of the league!
Only disappointment was the membership disaster again. I'm not sure how many missed the start of the game but loads were queuing at the ticket office (myself included) because the membership cards had been rejected. Ended up missing Chadli's first goal as a result of it.

Yes, but it's easy to see that there is a positive direction there that was hard to see under AVB, and non-existent under Sherwood. Early signs are that the players want to know.
But there WERE positive things said about AVB - as they were about Redknapp, Ramos and pretty much every other boss except Sheewood. My point is that lauding the new manager for his excellent training/tactics/man-management (delete as appropriate). Is all pretty standard when there is a new man in charge. It's just standard regular media plaudits. It's easy to believe it as 100% genuine because we want to hear it - and I am not even saying it isn't genuine - it just part of the positivity of a new boss arriving.
Positive things said, but not necessarily reflected on the pitch. This team look like they want to play for this guy in a way I haven't seen for a long time. I'm going more on player body language, and collective spirit, than fan comments. I accept your point though - it is standard for a new man.
