I wouldn't want Gala over 2 legs to be honest. I know that sounds crazy but we aren't ready for that.
In terms of who to beat, I think both Lazio and Bilbao can cause us serious problems. ManU less so.
Agree. He gambled and lost. To dig deeper in to the idea about the future being bright makes me a bit cross…
I don’t remember the press release that said we didn’t have to pay full price / increased ticket prices for the next 2-3 years because we would not be competing in that period of time.
I don’t remember Levy talking about the pensioners concessions with this reduced experience in mind.
I wonder if AIA or NIke, or whichever two bit sleeve sponsors we kraken on with have a 50% reduction on their sponsorship deals while the heart of it all embarrass itself week after week on the pitch or in front of millions on the idiots lantern.
Who is going to plug the millions wasted by not being even in the shit European competition for years ahead?
How's the business model going to blossom with the reduced league placing prize money ?
Plan ahead. Which one of these stars of the future are going to be sold first ? Because I can tell you the years of pain coming up will guarantee that that fantasy project won’t ever actually exist. Not under Deadly Dan.
Are we seriously meant to think that none of these things matter for the next few years while we let a 60 year old journey man who had won the same as Kevin Muscat take our expectations down a peg or two ?
This is an insane experience.
We are meant to be a competitive sporting club. Yet these bright sparks who are so clever with the kids currently offer up a have a bunch of midfielders who don’t even tackle across a whole game.
These people can’t be trusted to run a bath, yet they are the ones who are going to make us believe in the future. Nah. Sorry. Not seeing it anymore.
They all need to be fucked off out of it.

Ange Postecoglou admits his Celtic training demands can bring injuries
Kyogo Furuhashi and Albian Ajeti both limped off with injuries in the win over Real Betis.www.dailyrecord.co.uk
He's not the first manager to admit this so this old chestnut is not really the issue.
What I think is more glaring is the fact he isn't rotating what he has, even IF it isn't good enough.
You can't tell me a completely knackered Kulu is a better option than Ajayi on the right?
These players are out on their feet. So he continues to bench the one actual left back so he can play a right back at left back.
He’s a system / formation first manager and he is an absolute joke. Across all of these months that he played Regulion once frankly says it all. Is Regulion brilliant ? No. Is he capable of putting in more than 45 minutes ? Yes.
Fuck off Ange.
PS. Keep saying how much better we will be with the other players back is hardly the ringing endorsement of the players who are currently playing that Ange seems to think it is…
Might as well say, we are shit at the moment because this lot are shit. Dumb bastard.
I thought that I had been binned when I couldn’t get on!!
Wondering who I’d accused of being a cunt!
(I)t has been suggested that Spurs’ clearer schedule could be an advantage. Postecoglou is not so sure.
“Definitely, yeah,” Postecoglou replied, when asked whether he wanted more games. “For a club like us who want to compete at the highest level, you need a strong squad and to have a strong squad you need consistent games and opportunities.
“At the moment, if we get an injury then we’re liable to throw somebody in who hasn’t played for four or five weeks. It’s not easy on that player. Whereas if you’ve got games there’s a natural rotation you need to make all the time and also gives you a bit of rhythm.
“I had the other extreme at Celtic [playing 60 games in 2021-22 and 53 last season]. I found that a lot easier to manage. If you ask me would I rather be in Europe? Absolutely, 1,000%. I’d rather be in Europe at this time playing games.”
Ange Postecoglou blames Spurs’ clear schedule for lack of momentum
The Tottenham manager said his side would benefit from playing more matches as he lamented the stop-start nature of their season

fuck off you troll
Frankfurt and Lyon not to be sniffed at either.
Nothing sounds crazy at this juncture. We've just seen 190 minutes of bloody dreadful cup footy. Any organised team with pace up front will cause us problems.
Fact is that returning players will take a couple of games if not weeks to get fully up to speed. It's not the cure-all that some proclaim it to be.
I think it’s because the squad actually only ever had about 10 players who were actual experienced adults. It was a con job.
25 man squad with 5 keepers means that’s 20 outfield players, one of which is Regulion who must have shat in Ange’s shoes for a joke.
So 19 pros across a 50 + game season was always going to be a bit of a challenge.
Throw in tactical inflexibility and loss of form and injuries and you are fooked.
Keep going back mate to Terry Neill for any serious competition!
Yes he’s that bad!
Tbh I don’t really think this is the case. I don’t think any fans are backing him because of his personality which, frankly, isn’t even all that.
I believe some fans are still (somewhat) backing him because they are sick to death of new managers, new projects, new era’s, new dawns, whatever bullshit buzzword you want to call it and are just trying to cling to anything that could resemble stability and an actual long term plan. Fans are also rightly finally starting to see that it’s not all the coaches fault, and that the reason we are in such a chaotic mess is Daniel Levy and the board.
For what it’s worth, I think Ange probably should go now. We’re in too much of a rut, it’s becoming too Toxic and untenable, and Mason would probably steady the ship enough to allow us to sneak into the top half if we get some players back etc.
But in the longer term, any fan that thinks that getting rid of Ange and getting in someone like Iraola will change things is having a laugh. This squad is an imbalanced clusterfuck filled with deadwood, ageing players and whilst there’s a few promising young players, it will require outrageously expensive surgery to make us a genuinely competitive team again.
Ange in. Ange out. Doesn’t matter a fuck in the long term - whilst those parasites remain at the top we are going to remain very much stuck in the mud as a football club.
No thanks. I’d rather watch Spurs than that bollocks.
Totally agree and I’m going back to ‘61
have you seen the green shoots they have at Bournemouth?
It's there. No bother reading or watching it. Given up Spurs PR years ago.
