That they are proper bobbins. Thought that was obvious.

Spurs finished 17th and lost 22 games. Get a grip.

What’s your actual point?

Oh you’re quoting Arteta and Wenger, not particularly original, but hey ho.

For being anti spurs? If so guilty as charged.

Top class, relativity young managers don’t grow on trees, a bit like prolific strikers. Someone like Alonso for instance has a breakout season with Leverkusen and gets instantly snapped up by Real Madrid. I would like it if there were more home grown managers, but they are a rarity in the PL.

I have to agree with that. Arteta has to actually get over the line next season. If not it should be his last.

The Spurs board don’t think he’s had a successful season, otherwise he wouldn’t have got the sack. How can you argue with that?

I think our league form was disappointing in that yet again we finished second, but hardly a disaster. I don’t think getting through to a CL semi final and losing to a team that smashed Inter in the final could be classed as any kind of failure either. Btw I don’t particularly like or rate Arteta.

Some people have been saying Spurs had a better season than Arsenal. If that was the case why have they sacked their manager?

I was without a landline during the early 90’s and managed to spent a small fortune on these.

I hope these sentences are reviewed and eventually get sent to the Court of Appeal. No idea what this Judge was smoking.

So she served seven years in total. Not really justice is it.

Anyone been following the retrial of Karen Read v Massachusetts on Court TV? Accused of murdering her police officer boyfriend by running him over, but also allegations that he was murdered by a fellow officer and that she is the victim of a frame. It’s now in its penultimate week and it’s certainly been engrossing.

Beyond the headlines I didn’t know a great deal about this psychopath. Comprehensive documentary from the Storyville team. His one regret was that maybe he could have killed a few more people!

Yeah ok, he’s more like 11 and a half.

I have an 11 year nephew who has a better vocab than him.

As a belt? If so are you Mick Jagger?

I must have been bought 3 or 4 of these belts as a kid. I think most boys I knew had one.

Good article, but hardly groundbreaking. Part of the article talks about ‘community cleanups’ for want of a better term and yes if an area looks cared for, it’s likely to reduce anti social behaviour /crime. That ‘theory’ is well established. Ludwig the author of the book argues that neither Brown the original aggressor or Hood the killer were evil. Well yes, although Brown was a clearly violent man and had no compunction in hitting women. That such a man met his end through violent means was hardly surprising. Ludwig seemed to suggest that a tighter community might have resulted in Brown being ‘talked down’ from his violent intent. Maybe and maybe not , although it is understandable that people would not want to intervene in a country awash with guns. Most of what he wrote made sense, but sadly it really just equates to so much ‘pie in the sky’.

Minor story, but very much reinforces my above post. Trump’s vile administration wants to be clear in the messages it sends out and A-holes like Hegseth are happy to oblige.

You can’t reason with sociopaths unfortunately. Many will feel emboldened under this right wing government and probably see themselves as heroes in such situations.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump had fantasies about playing himself in The Purge franchise films. He’s got the new founding father nazi look down to a tee.

The only lure for Frank could be CL football. However, as Spurs are so ill equipped to compete in it, he would be better off staying put.
