the fox Posted 8 March 2018 Posted 8 March 2018 Thing about spurs is, they have a great, hard working squad but it's a blessing and a curse at the same time. they don't have that special player. they have dele, the poor man's thomas muller but he isn't a game winner nor can he preduce that moment of magic and that's what's stopping them from winning anything. They need to look back at our title winning side. We had players with amazing work rate and discipline but many times the side carried riyad for 89 minutes and he rewarded that trust by preducing the goods for that 1 minute.

Oh **** he's one of my favourite players as well, had a mare there!! 1

Also forgot about Erikson which is shocking of me But I genuinely wouldn't have Sanchez over Maguire, and i'd put Davies ahead of Danny Rose for sure!

If it makes it any better, I totally forgot about big Harry and went into default Huth/Morgan thinking haha. I can't really pick between Rose and Davies, but Rose always seems to be making pacey overlapping runs right till the end of games I see. Always loved him on FM from waaay back in the day as well haha,

The most typical Spurs fan, he called up and said he wants to speak about the poor analysis during sports bar yesterday evening. Don't know the presenters names, but I think one is Jason Cundy? Anyway, he presented the show last night and was on the radio this afternoon. The guy, was really agitated, saying how poor their journalism was by playing a laughing track in the background whilst dissecting spurs performance and pointing out they always make a mockery of Spurs. At first the presenters where professional, trying to explain that that's the style of the sports bar, it's a less serious take on the matches, a bit more comedy and all the presenters get abuse by their colleagues when their particular team loses and last night was no different This just wound the guy up more, saying this call is a complaint and just going on and on slagging TalkSport off. They then just started laughing at him until he ended the call. Great stuff. 1 1

Dan Posted 9 March 2018 Posted 9 March 2018 8 hours ago, NotTheMarketLeader said: This. Ive never known such a build up on national radio - 5 live - for a CL game. It started the day before ffs. Its as if it were England in the ****ing World Cup. Ludicrously favoured amd hyped, yet our exploits last season betters theirs this with 10% of the fanfare. It's nauseating. The guff people spouted after the away leg was hilarious as well. "Best result for an English side in Europe in years", "genuine CL contenders" etc... because they came back to draw at a pretty depleted Juventus. I've never known a side to get such adulation for such little achievement. It's them being a London club, having a lot of England players in their side (note Eric Dier not even having his name mentioned when he played Salah in one on one, imagine if that was David Luiz) and possibly most of all, being judged with smaller expectations. Could you imagine the media reaction if Arsenal drew 2-2 away at Juventus and lost 1-2 at home after being 1 up, and Spurs had won 0-2 at Milan? Arsenal would be absolutely blasted and Spurs would be rimmed endlessly. 2

No way should he be in playing in the Tottenham side, let alone the England set up. He is a Championship player. He makes many mistakes, has no pace and is extremely immobile - he’s always walking around the pitch regardless of circumstances. I can only assume he has got where he is due to his FA family links! (Ted Croker ex Chairman is his Grandad)

I wanted to laugh this off but then I looked for alternatives but couldn't find anyone. We're desperately short of strikers, there is a reason Solanke and Abraham were in the last squads.
StriderHiryu Posted 9 March 2018 Posted 9 March 2018 Spurs downfall was / is their game management, same as PSG. That’s where teams like Juventus, Atletico (though not this year) and even Real have the edge. When we won the title we were also great at it and why we could grind out results whereas Spurs had to outplay the opposition. One bad day in the office for key players means dropped points whereas perennial champions have multiple ways to win. It it will be interesting to see how Man City do as offensively they are the best in Europe but the Wigan game in the FA cup was a good example of being slightly below par.

There’s not a lot of difference between Championship players and those down the bottom of the PL. He wouldn’t be out of place at West Brom I don’t think. Edited 9 March 2018 by NotTheMarketLeader 1

Man Utd vs Liverpool Hibs vs Hearts Rangers vs Celtic Villa vs Wolves Forest vs Derby Yeah they're rivalries but they're known to overhype a lot of the time! Wouldn't surprise me if they tried to class NYCFC vs LA Galaxy as an 'MLS Derby'.
