Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

(Yeah I know I know, 'itk' but this guy calls the line ups correctly regularly a good hour or a few hours before its released and is usually spot on)
 
Yes it does.
I said the Conte news is a Twitter rumour at this time. If the bbc tweet it, it’s still Twitter you fool

Just because the other guy immediately thought “Twitter = Jeff in his basement” that’s not my fault.

Right, I get it. Anything ever written which is also on Twitter is a Twitter rumour. Makes sense.

You’ve got an impressive track record: Being a complete and utter self-contradicting dickhead on here from 2012-2021. Long may it - and will it - continue.
 
Woolwich and United fans trying to talk themselves into "we never wanted Conte anyway" is fucking hilarious.
One of the most delicious elements in the story is cunts from cunt clubs trying to suggest they’re happy with their manager and that we are welcome to Conte. It may come back to haunt us when the weavemeister loses his shit and walks out after not getting the players he wants. But until then, I’m fucking lapping this up while it lasts
 
I'm sure Kane will be a bit more inspired by Conte than Nuno. It certainly sends signals that the club are serious about pushing on.
It does. And of course we all hope you're right and can only be excited by the appointment.
But..We all know how cynical Levy is. And it costs a lot less to hire then fire a world class manager than it costs to hire a world class squad.
Interesting times ahead.
 
We’re actually winning the quadruple this season aren’t we?
yep yes GIF by The Voice UK
 
I’ll admit, Lo Celso is irritating the fuck out of me at the moment, but maybe he’s just the sort of player that will respond to Conte’s strictures.

With Tanguy, we’ll know within a couple of weeks. Last chance saloon I guess.
Based on how Lo Celso plays for Argentina, I think he could be very good in that midfielder that arrives late in the box role that Conte loves. I think Ndombele is basically a nailed on starter - Conte wanted him at Inter before and he can play the role Pogba played for Conte and Juventus perfectly.

That assumes they are 100% committed to working under Conte, but I can't imagine a player that wants to have a career wouldn't. Conte isn't going to bench players for petty reasons, but if you aren't committed you won't play.

Like I said earlier, who knows with Conte. But he's one of the best 5 managers in the world so you just have to go with it.

Yep, I said as much earlier in the thread.

My hope is that Paratici and Conte put the pressure on together. I can see them both walking if Levy fucks them about.

United fans acting like it's not good enough if he wins the league a couple times but fucks off in 3 years. Woolwich fans probably are still talking about the Invincibles like people still give a shit considering that 4 of the last 5 champions have accumulated more points than that squad.

SAF and Wenger ain't walking through that door, fellas. Longest tenured coach in the Premier League is Sean Dyche at 9 years. After him it's Klopp. It's almost impossible to have a SAF or Wegner in modern football anymore.
 
I’d like to think so. I’d see Hitchen out of the club ahead of players like Winks tbh. He’s been fucking awful in the market and must be browning his undies at the thought of trying to find Conte players at Levy prices come January.
At least we know Paratici has and can work with Conte.
Fuck the Welsh mafia or the French mafia. The big guns are here now.
Many of Paratici's singings for Juve were free transfers though.
