How’s the pitch playing?

Potentially, although when you have a lot of Ukrainians close to the government saying ‘good riddance’ then it makes it seem obvious

Zimbabwe bowlers are minor county level at best. Their best player in the warm up game played for Electricity Sports in the local first division last year.

No, this guy was a former aide to Yanukovych (former pre-maidan president) and a lot more pro Russian. He was exiled from Ukraine because of this and was working on anti-corruption work against the current government. Whether he is pro-Russian or not, having your secret services going around and murdering opponents in front of their children is funnily enough, a bad Putin tactic. If they want to be embraced by the west, then this is not the way to go about it.

Looks like Zelensky is taking a leaf out of Putin’s book and having his political opponents assassinated abroad. Not good. Remember this when they talk about Ukrainian’s current ‘western values’. https://news.sky.com/story/aide-to-former-ukrainian-president-shot-dead-in-madrid-13372008

That’s also a fair view, it was defo part of the act and it is a bit cringe but still not a fan of the wider dynamics

What’s the consensus on this? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2qq2n3800o While obviously an act of stupidity, I’m not really sure it’s a good idea to be charging under the terrorism act in this instance. I would be very surprised if he is found guilty. Plus it’s just going to make him a martyr so to speak. People see this as a further marginalisation of the Palestinian/wider Islamic cause (but I won’t go too much further into that).

Villa will hammer those clowns, 0-3 at a minimum.

Why are people anti spurs at this point?

Gotta love Ange Wonatrophycoglu for this, talked the talk and walked the walk. https://x.com/joestephenson96/status/1925295668215648274?s=46&t=XzXtyl311-twukZdC5F7gA

There’s been one good thing all game and that was the cross by Sarr. An atrocious game by two terrible teams. Chelsea Betis next week will be comfortably better despite being a lower comp.

The video of him saying he always wins things in his second season is incredibly cold.

The plane comment was very funny I must say. Trying to claim there’s a white genocide in South Africa is insane by the way.

I actually want spurs to win this. Ange seems like a dude and it would be very funny to see him win a trophy with this awful team given the arrogant managers and players that have gone before.

A quality of goal to suit the game.

Thomas warrants a lot of credit, the immediate one day cup win followed by gradual improvements across the other formats. Clearly despite a few fans having vocal grievances, he’s improving players and he’s got the team playing as a unit.

If we were hung on Enzo ball, we wouldn’t have appointed tweedle dum (Cooper) and tweedle dee (RVN).

I think Spurs get the job done tonight. I think Ange could get more out of his team than what Amorim can currently.

Think there’s some disservice to Enzo when comparing him to Russell Martin. Both have their styles, but Enzo is a lot more practical than Martin’s ideological stuff. Enzo would adapt tactically during games especially in attack, Martin does not do that. They clearly think that that style is enough to get us up again but Martin is not Enzo.

We’re further ahead of 2nd (30 points) than 2nd is of bottom (26 points).

It’ll probably save British universities but I’m not sure how I feel about EU students paying the same in fees as British students. Especially when we won’t get the same benefits

I’ll be rioting outside of Lords if we win the league then they abolish promotion

Does anyone have the video of it?

I read that 215 has been the 14 game average for top two although given everyone is beating everyone, it could be even lower this year. So 100 points from our last 8 games. 3 wins would probably do it.

Our wing options next season are ridiculous. It’s everywhere else that’s bad
