Mick, how did we "outplay" them exactly? The stats don't even show that...lol. Unless you mean possession?

they were at home with 50,000 supporters egging them on, we dominated possession and scored as many as they did.
Unless shots ending up in row Z are now a positive statistic, who knows. is that what Xg is?

Basically, with everything in their favour, they failed to beat a depleted Spurs team at home

To me - that's "effectively" outplaying them. I didn't say batter, or hammer....

They huffed and puffed, and we soaked it all up and came away with a result. My guess is our club is happier than theirs.

Pal, spending 70-80 mil to get them 3 kids in was silly. Not what we needed. At all.

I like Archie, but we got bummed at 40 mil.

Odobert for 30 big ones? Fuck me, Burnley are still laughing.

The squad was left dreadfully short this year but Gray and Bergvall will double their purchase price in value by 2027. They are genuine quality.

Odobert we don't know cos he hasn't played but the data on him was pretty good so there's reason to believe he'll be decent.

Seems obsessed with flags and some dispute with fuckall to do with Spurs...odd stuff. Genuinely hope we don't have play either of said teams again for years. Boring and weird AF.

We need to get Postecoglou back over the boarder to Scotland or back down under ASAP. I was one of the first to rumble this man was clueless so I understand fully the tactical limitations I'm bringing in I WOULD WELCOME GARETH SOUTHGATE. He is ten times more able than our current coach and in truth it actually makes sense for other reasons.

His real skill is human resources, he keeps it basic and is goal oriented there is no fancy system just fundamentals. He basically fixed a broke dysfunctional system by building a brotherhood and we are a basket case. He has played and coached at levels above Ange. He's the correct age to improve but has experience. Good with the press.

Lastly one of his closest freinds died on our training pitch, he won't half ass the effort in simple remembrance of a loved one. Will he win us the ECL no but he might replicate Harry Redknapp and get us in it so we can source an upgrade.

This is why the whole thing from Romero of

Oh we love the manager, We're so happy.

Is worthless. I don't care how jolly it is on the training pitch. If the players are really invested in the direction of the team, then show it in games. But this is the 4th game on the bounce that the team comes out of the dressing room without the right level of intensity (the second half on sunday more specifially than the first)

I've lost SO much faith in Biss, Benta & Maddison the last few weeks...... 3 of our most senior players arguably out best MF.... All 3 proving flakey as fuck.

I've been wrong quite a few times.

I said it was a dumb decision to start a single pivot against United and we destroyed them.

I said we should be signing Richarlison when he was at Everton and didn't factor in his horrendous injury record.

I said Forster is donkey piss and he's proven to be our best player.

I said we should have got raya rather then a cheap alternative like Vicario who has proven to be very good.



Thing is I'm genuinely not even trying to be arrogant but I've got things more right then wrong. That being said I couldn't care less when I'm wrong on a bloody football forum but some are so fucking desperate to save face that they will ride it out until the bitter end just in case it miraculously changes because they can't utter the words "fair play think I got that wrong".

Come on, they're third in the SPL and apart from two missing CBs we went pretty strong. Certainly not depleted.

They ran rings around us.

hmmm yeh maybe because we stole a point.

This is what I was refering to Richard Arlison Richard Arlison about desperate people that have a narrative and can't possibly be seen to be wrong. Will literally just make shit up.
