How Dry should our Powder be?

The amount of penalties he’ll win them though with his diving will help out no end. Him and Saka falling over at every opportunity and officials giving them everything will be very frustrating.
Why haven’t those two ended like Zaha, recognized for prolific diving to the point where genuine fouls against them are less likely to be given?
 
The stupid thing about the Sterling and Sancho shouts is that it literally opposes the long held belief in how ENIC run this football club and how they hold us back because they are both are literally last minute opportunistic signings, whatever happened to signing players in early and get them in before pre season?

I detest sections of this fanbase man, just moan for the sake of moaning man

If we'd signed either of them you'd have been all over it telling us it was proof of Levy backing his manager you pretentious plum

You'd probably even be getting another letter of apology to the chairman drafted and posting it on here for everyone to sign

:sonlol:

What does « powder dry »mean in this thread ?

We have a lot of young players with high ceilings and I want them to be given a chance to reach those ceilings. The reason they don’t succeed shouldn’t be because they never had a chance.
Some interpret the phrase to mean ‘be ready to ready to act at a moment’s notice’. But some people interpret it to mean saving resources for a later time, which yields confusing results for the poll.

So net spend of £86 mill (potentially £111 mill) this year.
If we don't keep Werner £77.5 mill ( £102.5).
 
I don't think it's the case of fan's lapping it up , it's just expectations, we go thro this every window and it's surprising it seems Levy is not going to back this manager , but we still as fans got to get on with it, this is the way the club is and there nothing we can do about it
we still going to go
Yeah I think we have accepted being average. Finish 4-8th with no silverware & let the big boys fight for trophies. We are so used to not winning things now. It would be surreal us winning a league cup or something. Can you imagine!
 
Play the kids!Play the kids!Play the kids!Play the kids!Play the kids!Play the kids!Play the kids!Play the kids!Play the kids!Play the kids!

(Kids are played, then a rival makes a last minute signing of someone you'd never previously wanted)

Show ambition! Can't win with kids! Fucking Levy! Show ambition like Chelsea!

Repeat to fade.
There isnt a single winning football club with a philosophy of play the kids.

I want to win trophies not fatten up kids for Real Madrid
 
Its a phrase I cant stand but sums up Spurs under Levy

We never do anything to move the needle
Yeah it’s like just having a decent office job. Covers the bills. Could be a lot better but a lot worse. Will never reach anywhere near the top but won’t end up sinking to a low place either. I just think we can do a lot better… shoot me!
