If only people could hold their hands up and say "yeah I got this one wrong" this thread would be a lot shorter and a LOT less embarrassing for certain people

Bit weird as it was a specifically a discussion between bk and me. "They" could just as easily be you using a non-gendered pronoun.
This all started because you jumped in to accuse me (and Richard Arlison of all people - that bloke NEVER disappears
Not my fault you can't handle the consequences of your own actions.
Who has policed anything? I'm just responding to your posts on a public forum. I'm a little embarrassed for you but I'm not asking you to stop
Tbf mate, I think I am going to disappear for a bit.
Always a good thing to give this place a breather sometimes
Postecoglou Manager thread would be 10 pages long...?
And the positivity thread wouldn't exist .. and the world would be sunshine and rainbows.
Nah it would be the Daniel Levy Positivity Thread - and we would all be posting about how good it was that our Glorious Leader bought Djed Spence for 12 million
What Neil Warnock has been thinking after watching Djed Spence play for Tottenham recently
Neil Warnock says he's happy to see Djed Spence doing well at Tottenham despite their previous falling out
Neil Warnock discusses Djed Spence’s rise at Tottenham
Warnock spoke about how good Spence has been recently.The former Middlesbrough manager says he’s very happy to see Spence doing so well, even if they didn’t get on.
Warnock says that he never holds grudges and that, ultimately, he’s happy to see his former player thriving.
“Well, I watched Djed Spence and I thought, what a player, you know. Unfortunately for me, I’m hoping that some of the things I said to him at Middlesbrough might have come through. Because he wasn’t a nice lad.
“He had a few problems, I thought, at Middlesbrough. And he had to sort himself out. But last night, when you looked at him on the pitch last night, I even thought, I bet he’s done all right off the pitch now.
“I’m hoping he has. Because I didn’t like him as a person. But skill-wise, that was never in doubt, really.”
“But even when he first went to Tottenham, you know, I was watching him and he was like, he wasn’t playing in position, I thought. You know, he was getting dragged all over the place. He’s learnt so quick, hasn’t he?
“He’s had to as well. I mean, he’s had to do and, you know, when we had our disagreement, I won’t tell you what it was about, but it was in Covid and he wasn’t clever, really. I was disappointed in him.
“But he was one of them that you’d say, you don’t know whether he’s going to end up at Bromley or he’s going to end up at Spurs. You know, it’s up to him, really..
“And when he went to Spurs, I don’t think Conte wanted him. I think they bought him because they wanted to get some English players in, I think, because I don’t think Conte wanted him, if I’m honest. But, and you’ll give him a chance.
“And I looked at it, I thought he was refreshing me. That’s nice. Everything he did, I thought, that’ll do for me.”
“That and I don’t hold grudges against players like that. I get disappointed in somebody off the field if I think what they’re doing is wrong. And so, and you know, you can’t, you try and, you try as a manager, you try and right the wrongs and you try and help players become better people.
“And sometimes you’re successful and sometimes you’re not. You can’t win everyone. But I hope the pennies drop within me.
“I remember a big picture somebody showed me when he went, he had a big cigar and having a go at me, you know, about what I said, but listen, it gives me a lot of pleasure when I see him playing like he did the other night.”

We got hot for him in a cup run for Forrest where if I recall correctly he pocketed Martinellj, Saka, and went to Anfield and had another very good game. As for Warnock, lol. Genuinely can't stand him so get Spence not liking him.
yes Ange 'moulded' & made Djed SPence... there you go - the Master & the disciple
Ange: I held him back as long/much as possible just to rreally test out how much he really wanted it.. blah yadda

Seriously …. You buying this richy?
I just shared it.
Does it matter if anyone buys it?
He’s saying Spence had to be patient and earn it.
Spence did that and now we have a top FB on our books. Ange was also saying he doesn’t want him to settle for just this. Backed him for the England squad and more.
Ange gets alot of criticism for his tactics at times but his man management does seem pretty good.
This is literally the work of a manager to develop players
Whatever the case might have been with Spence earlier in the season, that's history, and we should be glad he's come on so strong in playing such an important role. What matters now is how Ange manages and juggles his full backs, as Spence has made a cogent case that he's our best and most versatile option at that position now.
Today is a really big test for Spence.
Plaudits do all manner of things,one being believing them.
Caution sir.

maybe he should deploy these 'development' techniques on BJ and Twerner
He’s run the gamut with Timo. That dude can’t be helped. BJ I think the shit he cops from fans seriously affects him. Spurs fans are too fucked in the head as a cohort for it to work for him here. Dude should have stayed at forest where they loved him
