In 1974 Ali fought the formidable foe George Foreman
Foreman was the pressure fighter dominating the early action seemingly allowed to land to the body at will but all through the fight Ali landed the better shots with a stinging one two every now and then, having been lured into a false sense of confidence Foreman who had underestimated his foe and and hadn't noticed his emptying gas tank, in the 7th he lands his best shot of the fight square on the jaw of Ali, Ali immediately clinched pulled Foreman firmly into the clinch and whispered in his ear "is that all you got George" Foreman realised that was all he had and shrank Ali grew and took him out a few minutes later.
We are rope a doping Wolves here, when you see Jose walk over to Nuno after about 60 minutes and whisper in his ear you will all know it's over.

He's been good so far? and he isn't to blame for the lack of possession in this game, it's a collective problem.
Games like this under Poch would see us persist with playing football that's nice on the eye, the reality is, to be a side that wins things sometimes you have to win ugly.
It's no shame to be playing a difficult away fixture the way we are, we don't have a given right to blow teams like this away, we have to earn the wins.

I think Ali also said “bad place to get tired George “ but I get what you mean
The level of technical incompetence from us was staggering.
A midfield (for want of a better name) that is utterly devoid of footballing capability, thoroughly outplayed by their midfield. The odd occasion we manage to get the ball to our forwards it just bounces off them like they’ve got spring loaded boots.
We scored a blaster against the run of play, and play continued to run the same way for the rest of the half. Wolves played us off the park,
Dreadful stuff.

don't be daft - the purpose of the match thread is to shit as many Spurs players as possible.
Don't let unimportant details about how often he has broken their attacks up fool you, or how often he has dropped back into defence to make clearances.
He's pony
ask Mindless - he know everything about football, he'll put you straight
I'm sure the intent is not to lose possession going forward every time, I think the idea is there but we seem very nervy at the moment mentally struggling with Wolves pressure. hopefully Jose could calm things down.
Agreed, I am in a weird situation at the moment with Aurier because even though he is playing well I still just HATE watching him play. His decision making is so erratic and infuriating that I just find him so frustrating to watch, although at the moment he is in a good patch of form I still always feel like he is going to do something daft. I can't help but wonder what Jose will do with that area in the next 12 months.
They are doing some sort of fan festival in Miami. When they host these things, they basically spend the whole time doing cringey bits rather than actual analysis.
I can't believe that wasn't a penalty on Kane. Clearly impeded in the box. He has to go down because we all know he doesn't get that call if he stays on his feet. It's just fucking perplexing what constitutes a foul these days. We should be up 3-0 with that and the Dier opportunity.
Loads of 'murican fans being 'lairy', let's go soccer let's go...fight and win etc.
Exactly as I thought it would play out. Technically limited in possession so just playing long ball. But we are causing ourselves problems doing so.
Need to be more careful in possession is all

Already looking forward to Dele Alli whispering in Adama Traore ear on 70th minute, "Is that all you have got?"
