You are coming across as a bit weird now. You’ve clearly been agitated since the Yaya MMF appearance because you’ve mentioned it tonight.

Then you’re ranting about my name. Then you’re googling pictures of Roland Rat. Then you’re trawling through my posts to see where I live. Then you’re googling Hull to see what the industry is around here. I’m getting a little worried here.

How can anyone slag off the name Kev with Keegan and De Bruyne!

Whatever happened to Roland Rat i grew up watching that. That then turned into Sooty, Ed the duck then mr blobby
 
Poch rightly mentioning how other clubs are given a bit of help from their own leagues.

Hopefully it will be well received and treated seriously as opposed to being scoffed at and shot down as it was when Pellegrini suggested not hamstringing our clubs.

They do have a 3 goal head start......

I do agree but the PL is too linked to the TV companies and has been for years. Nothing will change

They had the early game on Saturday, what the fuck is he on about?

Think BVB’s was moved to Friday to help. In fairness, he was just saying he wanted parity.
I know the French team Arsenal are playing had their game postponed.

Friday night, Saturday noon for a Tuesday game is no real difference, he should try having to play Sunday evening like we've had to do, then he can whine.

He wasn't whining. He was making a salient point (that loads of other PL managers have made) that is valid for all English clubs playing in Europe - namely, that other country's domestic leagues go out of their way to help their clubs get the best possible preparation for European games while the PL does nothing or, worse, hands over responsibility for such decisions to the TV companies.

I’m with @JimB, he’s not moaning, he’s asking for equal treatment from the respective leagues, I fully agree with him.
As you say, it’s not the worst case, obviously our Sunday night Tuesday night in Kiev was just silly. But we all know, if City moan it’s laughed at because we have rich Muslim owners.

But hopefully a media darling like Poch will help us all. We just need Ole the saviour to say it next. But it won’t be their concern very soon.

Which is a valid point but poch doesn't want spurs to win a cup anyway so why is he moaning.

Not under Poch but I remember a few years ago Spurs having to play Europa League game on a Thursday night and then away to Chelsea (possibly even the lunchtime kickoff?) on Saturday because they had a Tuesday night Champions League game the following week. Little more than a day and a half to prepare and recuperate.

Yes, that's right. Poch has said on numerous occasions that he is determined not to win a cup......

Thinking purely as a City fan, I find it ridiculous that many experts are predicting we may not win the league because we are competetimg on 4 fronts. Is that not the point?
Should top clubs not want to win everything?

It’s seems a common thought that we simply can’t wun all 4. Based purely on a fatigue.
Seems ridiculous to me.

Imagine if they put the Olympic 100m final 15 minutes before the 200m semi final.
 
Come on, did anybody actually think that they were ever gonna push us until the end ?? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN TOTTENHAM WIN THE LEAGUE.. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN TOTTENHAM WIN THE LEAGUE.. .. :)
 
Nevertheless, not many Spurs fans feel that confident. I won't allow myself to relax until we are 4-0 up on the day and 7-0 up on aggregate.

Indeed. Too many scars from the past. It was only 5-6 years ago that we were 3-0 up going into a second leg Europa League tie away to Inter and we only scraped through 4-1 thanks to a barely deserved extra time goal by Adebayor. Or, more relevant to this board perhaps, that infamous cup game at home against a crap Man City side ( Spurs were crap too) - 3-0 up at half time and City down to 10 men........lost 3-4. That kind of fiasco haunts you forever.

Oi, less of the crap please.


That team were utterly shite.

Can never underestimate how losing Joey Barton can improve a team :-)

I think Spurs will go through but will probably have a bit of a scare but always likely to score which will give them breathing room. even lloris and Trippier can't conspire to fuck up 5 times in a single match surely.

You can't feasibly move the North london derby to a Friday night in fairness to the PL.
 
Amazing when Pelligrini complained we were accused of moaning. Spurs complain and it becomes a legitimate debate...
