Really depends if anyone competes for his signature with us IMO, they are resigned to losing Antony as dont even reckon they could afford to loan him again next season, if the field remains clear for us which it can in theory with us having a price pre-arranged and a clause inserted making it more expensive for other clubs to cut a deal of equal value to Betis, we can and probably will triple his wages.

You choose your moments to do it which aren’t when you’re pinned by the corner flag with several opposing players bearing down on you!

There are several times we’ve tried it in suicidal positions when clearing the lines was the right thing to do!

I agree. Kinsky did it better and went long when he had to. Vic scares the life out of me as he traps the ball and then the opposing player is closing him down and he then has to make a difficult pass. He needs to when under pressure kick it straight away either short or long. He is taking too long and even if his pass gets to its target it puts that player under pressure. Why has Ange not sorted this out.

Nicely explained we seem to be the team that fails to find space but finds an opponent closing in all too often

I don't agree with that at all. Playing out from the back the way we are trying to do it is just stupid and has cost us and other team far more goals than scored by playing that way

Yes we have just the 2 CBs who are available for the ball. The FBs have run upfield. That’s why we see so many turgid passes betw them
And the goalie. Even the supposed midfielders arnt around to get the ball. Hence why MADDs drops deep to get the ball.
Most teams that play out from the back at least have their FBs available in the traditional position to be able to receive the ball from CBs. The only option we have sometimes is to play the further forward into wide areas to wingers. Hence why they always get the ball with them facing OUR goal and a defender up their arse.

Had a few dickwads like him back in the day when I played, and funnily enough a couple Italians. But biggest cunt was a Nordic guy who thought he was the dog's bollocks cause he used to be tracked by serious clubs. Man would've have mad fits on & off the pitch pretty much daily, but it was always words so we got to that point where we'd just ignore him.

Til one day he got physical with one of our dudes who was half his size...during the fucking game. Ref sent him off, coach told him to piss off and that he'd get a fine for the ages.
Fuck me, I couldn't wait for the whistle to get back to the changing room and knock his bells out. Didn't even have time to grab him, another couple of lads jumped on him and all hell broke loose. Coaches managed to get in between, things settled down after a few intense minutes, one of the directors went ballistic and them two lads who battered the cunt got fined too...but fuck it, they were legends now and the rest of the squad coughed up on their behalf.

Also, the prick had learnt his lesson, apologised to the whole club, paid his fine, served his suspension (that had been rightly extended by the club), took us all out for a meal...the whole nine yards. He was still an obnoxious prick afterwards and would still throw tantrums, but nowhere near as bad as before and it was mostly with the opposition and refs. Never hit one of our lads ever again.

Whether you've played pro or amateur, we've all had cunts like that to deal with. And fights between teammates are a pretty common thing, it just rarely goes public cause clubs are terrified of bad press. But when that happens, you just gotta have someone on your team that's gonna grab the prick by the collar and set him right...not tomorrow or the week after, do it right now and fuck the consequences, the vast majority of the squad will back you up. Thing is at Spurs, there's the weakest leadership group in the history of humanity...and the offenders are an integral part of that group.

We have a Very weak leadership group! Need 2 or 3 proper experienced strong leaders out there. That is why when we are put under a bit of pressure we crumble so quick & easy.

We need 3 or 4 mean but fair bastards...so no Vicario, Romero aka wannabe tough guys.

Gimme some dudes who'd have zero qualms about grabbing Vic when he has one of them games or when he pesters poor Bergvall; who'd give Biss a right wake-up shake when he goes AWOL or starts sniffing balloons again; who'd put the fear of God into Brennan and Udogie so they defend like their lives depended on it; who'd tell Richy very clearly to stop taking the piss with his injuries every 20 seconds...etc etc.

For sure.

I mean, Dave would've smashed Vic & Romero's teeth in ages ago.

Robs would've snapped Biss in half like a vulgar breadstick.

As for Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman 's beloved, I'd have loved to see him go knee high on Brennan, Udogie & Brazil's No 1 crook.

Proper men. Proper Spurs.
