Says the one with the imaginary Polish wife who he voted out few months back. Awkward

I too fully supported Poch's comments of last week, I said exactly this in my response to your snide calls for me to do so. I just didn't interpret them as him wanting to leave the club. I didn't see them as anything other than him reflecting on the mood felt by everyone around the club at present. I saw them relating to the challenges that are faced by the club and how they were significant and not experienced by any other club, no other club is building a stadium.
So, back to the topic. Why have you not responded to make any comments against Poch's words he spoke yesterday? Why are you avoiding this? Please don't bottle it arc, I'm asking you for your take on these comments of yesterday, not of his comments reported on Monday. We all know what you thought of his comments on Monday. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIS COMMENTS OF YESTERDAY?
Don't bottle this one.
What? ‘Who he voted out’. Jesus. You have one language and you can’t even speak that. Who am I voting out of you fucking disaster? What does that even mean? You’re obviously still smarting from the IQ test stuff when

ruined you yesterday. Btw, judging by your use of language and inability to acknowledge facts I’d say your score is between 85-95. Not too bad for a Saffa dog nonce with language difficulties I’ll happily admit. That might theoretically allow you to have children, but good luck with finding a girlfriend who appreciates jort wearing Lego lovers with Ronaldo posters in their bedroom and who’ll allow your lumpen body to fall upon them when you’re tired with rimming scum fans on the internet. Just because you have a dog that appreciates you, doesn’t mean you’re qualified to charm female human beings.
I've rarely ventured into "off topic" part off the forum, this post alone is a strong advert for its merits and has caused me to rethink my decision.What? ‘Who he voted out’. Jesus.

Agreed. Sometimes though, it reaches a point where the club stagnates with the same guy in charge. Wenger is the poster boy for that - he should have left at least 3 years earlier than he did. Having said that, i think (and hope) that Poch is going to be around for quite a while yet! I would also hope that he's built enough trust from the board and the fans that he would survive a 'dodgy' season, should he have one. Would be a massive mistake to let him go should we finish 7th or something.

This is our transition season in many respects but his comnents, players signing extended contracts and everything seemingly geared for top 4 but not Premier League winners creates a dystopia at times.
I think many of the fans see something possible about to happen.
It is how close we can keep getting and not win anything and stay with 'the project' that is the hovering grey cloud.
Smashed it out the park mate.Less than a week agokingdawson and
ArcspacE chose to tag me out of the blue asking me to "spin" Poch's comments and I shared my views,
John Thomas was busily lurking in the background with his fingers tapping on the disagree/agree button. 6 days on and new quotes from Poch, seems only fair this time that I tag you lot and get your take on Poch's comments. Genuinely interested in your take on them. Are there any bits that you don't understand and would like clarification on, happy to help.
Here they are, every word, all in one place, not cherry-picked, not rearranged, but written just as he said them, word for fucking word (I have omitted the Wolves-related stuff for obvious reasons, it ain't relevant):
"I think today in football we always talk. We talk, we always about long term project. I think one day it was difficult to explain. I want to repeat and I hope you don’t misunderstand me. We work with a responsibility to create a long term project. It is true that today in football is always about the present, about good results quick, as soon as possible and it is difficult to talk about project.
"At the same time you need to work and try to anticipate the thing about to come. We always work to try to win games tomorrow. If you are not prepared, the team, the squad, with a plan for the future.
"After you spend four years and a half like me. I think no one expected so long myself here at tottenham. if you do not anticipate and you have another plan that is not long term period in the end you are going to fail.
"The success here is that always we are thinking in today and thinking in tomorrow and that is most important.
"I think one day I explain, I want to be here for all of my career. That is the best thing because that is why it is difficult to explain the decision, and to explain the big picture and it is a struggle to explain to our fans why things happen today in the present.
"That is the most important to think and then if one, two, three, four, five, six and the patience of the board or Daniel is not big they will sack you. But always you feel responsible and the legacy for different people that can arrive and work on the projectect. That is our responsibility, I feel responsible, the coaching staff to not only come here and work and it’s a fantastic life in London and fantastic facilities. That is why our commitment is not thinking is not only today but for the future."
Can you achieve what you want here?
"I think, like you all in our different businesses, always we want to improve, we want the best, to win, to achieve more money. I’m an honest person that loves to talk very honestly, and of course when you don’t win you’re so frustrated.
"Our fans are so frustrated but you are the first that wants to win, the players, the staff, everyone. When you’re close, you need to try to translate that it’s all under control and try to create a good feeling, trying to help that hope that one day we can win. Of course sometimes the period that you spend, if you don’t achieve all that you want or expect, it’s true that it’s difficult to keep motivated with the right energy to in the end achieve all that you want.
"I think the period today at the club, at Tottenham, is so exciting. Of course it looks when you look backwards I think it’s like one life, like we are at Tottenham for 20 or 30 years, because it was so tough, the moments, and so intensive, the moments we shared together. But I think we’re in the middle of the [journey] and I don’t believe that it’s the end of something.
"That’s the difference when people talk for different clubs. When you talk about some clubs or others you need to see where they are, how they are, who they are. But when you assess Tottenham, they are in the middle of the journey, in the middle to arrive in the harbour. And you need time. And the time sometimes depends on the boat, or on many things - whether you can improve your boat during the journey. People can talk a lot and create a lot of history and theories about Tottenham but the most important is the reality.
"The reality is we are very close to finishing the new stadium, we’re very close to creating, in facilities, one of the best clubs in the world. Of course all have different costs to pay, and sometimes to win titles today is difficult for different reasons that you and our fans knowe very well. But sometimes the patience is shorter, it’s not too big, and the frustration, like for us, when you don’t win… You’re so close but you don’t win. But for me it’s so exciting to be here at Tottenham, helping the club to achieve the last level.
"I think we’re so close to getting the last level, but we need to have that patience that makes us stronger, because of course we’re finding different situations that you need to fix – a lot of difficult things that happen during the journey that you need to sort out. But I think we’re strong enough to sort out all the problems and arrive, and in the end to achieve what the club and fans deserve, and in the end all we want to achieve one day is to win trophies.
"When I arrived at Tottenham, the first video I think Daniel or the people showed me was of Tottenham Hotspur, we are talking about the glory. Yes, I want to feel the glory with Tottenham. When I watch that video from 1960, I think always it’s a very emotional video but it will be fantastic to deliver for our fans and for all the people that moment again, to repeat it here with Tottenham. But first of all we need to finish the stadium, move there, finish the facilities here, be settled, make our stadium home again and work so hard to try to be competitive.”
Over to you.........
Oh are you not suppposed to have Ronaldo posters in your bedroom, and frontroom, hall, toilet and kitchen......!!
Cristiano? No.
Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima?....Yes.
Maybe my favourite ever player and an unbelievable striker in that he delivered on the biggest occasions when pressure was as great as it can be.
But the Portuguese Ronaldo is a better player and that is just being objective.
Not for me.
R9 is the only competitor to Messi's crown in my eyes.
But it's a debate not worth having as football is so subjective.
Poch doesn't want to sign anyone in January
Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham players sign for the club, not him
The FIFA generation are going to lose their minds

Where does it say that?
Whilst it has to be said it's not a difficult accomplishment to achieve, the tenacity required to see it through absolutely is. Having a conversation with an idiot is a laborious task and requires many levels of communication skills, the hardest one to achieve I've found and it never surprises me too, is quite how low you need to go to get to be on his level. Salute.
I'm the article, that's why I added the link
Well yeah, that's why I asked.
I read the article and saw zero mention of Poch saying he doesn't want to sign anyone in January.
Feel free to add something useful and point out where he says he doesn't want to make a signing in January...
"We need to be careful how we manage January," he said. "It is not a window where you can do many things and not affect the dynamic of the team and the group.
"If you are doing well and you arrive in January, no one is going to change too much."
