They have time slots on Talksport.
If you want a Tottenham view, listen to it at 10pm when O'Hara is on.
They do have other Spurs hosts but O'Hara will be frothing at the mouth again so worth listening to :roflmao:
Yeah i like o'hara as speaks from the heart and says it how it is. Think the club tried to tone him down when conte was in charge and doing shit. O'hara speaks the truth. He should be a pundit on sky or tnt doing our games. Not alan smith or merson.
 
Give him a break!

Man has travelled something like 1000kms to watch some Angeball yesterday.

Probably with a bunch of nutters speaking in Welsh.

His mind and body are broken.

Be careful, you might offend him if you're not speaking the queen's English, they type of joker who thinks we're sitting in an English exam and he's above everyone on a forum.

Then again he's probably the kind of person who struggles to differentiate between the internet and real life blud
 
fucking spurs... feels like we're getting ange until the cup is over and maybe longer. maybe this can be the great convergence where the ange inners and outers all come together and hold hands and blame levy for all our ills? for only the idiot who hired him would keep him at this point. kumbayah
 
Dier was in an epic team, as you say, and he got regularly picked even with all the talent we had in the squad. There was a reason for that.

And 3000+ minutes played. One of only 4 outfield players to play over 3k minutes.

Just good management isn’t it. Using the players at your disposal to make the system work. His ability to slot into a back 3 gave Walker and rose / Davies freedom to move forward.
 
Ok so were VDV and Romero actually rushed back?

I remember the first prognosis on Romero and VDV as being much earlier than when they actually played and we have seen Ange do that before where he's kept it quiet about a player being ready to return.

Then, we need to look a little deeper. Did the medical team clear them to return? were they cleared to return and start or get a few minutes as a sub?
We don't know that information and people are assuming that Ange is responsible for clearing them to play (I also assumed this to start). Why are they assuming that? based on what information.

If they weren't cleared ton start and Ange broke the protocol to play them and they broke down then fire him now.

But if we look at other player who broke down when just returning to training like Richy, Odobert and now Davies it seems we have an issue with our medical team clearing players to return before they are ready or not being able to accurately determine they are ready.

I think we also need to look at the fact that we aren't doing something with our recovery protocols that other elite clubs do. Whether that is HGH or some kind of PEDs or whether that is some other kind of technology like ice/pressure machines, whether that is a nutrition things... whatever it is, we don't do it well at this club.
Fffs stuff the protocols. You like wrapping everything up into a fog of BS. Whether they were fit or not and by whoever there was no reason to play both together v chavs. We had drag playing a few games by then and had done well. He didn’t deserve dropping. Ange should have kept him in and played one of the other two. But no, soon as someone deemed them fit they go straight back in the team. Pure negligence! It’s like having two punctured tires on a bike and putting them both back in and taking out a good one. He did it to save his own skin which at the time he was on dodgy ground. Well things have gone even worse now.
 
Same argument was said of Ashley Phillips last season, people were calling for him to play he didn't, people got upset...he then went on loan to plymouth and despite it being positive looked incredibly raw at times.

I'm not a fan of just chucking young players in purely because of club negligence and impatient fans, he's obviously not good enough otherwise he would have played like the other 18 year old we have there who happens to be playing out of position.
But isn’t dorrington eng captain for the sane team gray plays in?

Nah mate.

He’s one of the the sarf landan Mandem innit.

Brother is all about the apples and pairs and old Joanna on the dog and bone whilst getting a bit of how’s your father!!

Dier was very robust for about 2 years, he hardly got an injury at all. He was decent at best, but let's not elevate him to levels he was never at.
And he fell off a cliff after about 1.5 seasons. It got more obvious as the quality around him deteriorated.
 
Are you a full on Welsh now boyo??
I'm more Welsh than Tom Jones wearing a daffodil hat singing Delilah to a stadium full of brown shoe and blue jeans wearing rugby fans in the millennium stadium, butty boy.

he doesnt, he plays the role of the deluded spurs fan a lot of the time to clash with cundy talking the truth.

he knows whats going on, but he has to play that idiot role so they have a debate.
