Spurs (A) Post match Thread

[Shaelumstash]

You can see that Neville has money tied up in businesses. Whereas Carragher hasn`t got a clue.

Neville is a property developer who knows about large scale investment. Carragher hasn't got a clue.

To be fair, do you think Gary Neville has much of a clue? Or just friends in high places?

He's had two restaurants that didn't last 12 months. He opened the worst nightclub Manchester has ever known that didn't last 12 months. His hotel is the ugliest building that Manchester has seen in the last 50 years. He's had numerous failed attempts at diabolical proposals for his St Michael's development.

All in all, with the same financial backing, I don't think many people on here would make much more of a pigs ear of it than Neville has. I doubt Carragher would either.

And Neville was talking absolute bollocks in regards to Tottenham as well. He was saying you "can't spend money that you don't have". What the fuck is he talking about? Businesses can't invest? Sounds rather odd, I was under the impression that they can?

Sheikh Mansour has invested £1.5bn and his investment is now worth closer to £3bn. We've won 3 league titles and are set up to dominate for the next half a decade. I'd say "spending what you don't have" has worked out pretty well for us, both in sporting terms, and financially.

Tottenham may well have £400m tied up in the new stadium, but infrastructure costs don't count towards FFP, so they could still invest in the playing squad if they so wished. They have chosen not to. And don't tell me that the owner doesn't have the money. He's just spent £115m on a Bond villian style Superyacht. The first in the world with an indoor tennis court. I don't think he's short of a few bob. He just chooses not to spend it on making Tottenham competitive.

Good :)

Shit pitch. Non like city performance but 3 points. Speaks volumes. Did what we had to do.

I felt the agenda much more today. In the build up and during the game. Subtle.

We are so fucking good. Even when we are shit, we are still great.

Some tough fixtures out the way. We will defend this title now. I’ve never felt so assured.

You’re so right. Arsenal, scouse, spurs and wolves away in first 5 away fixtures. We’re pissing this league again

Just watched the mendy alleged attempt at a punch..are these guys for real you can clearly see the spurs player climbing all over him the fist throw was in protest at the linesman not giving a foul its pretty obvious.

That stud on Raza’s ankle was more than yellow. It was intentional but mr friend and his Lino just ignored .

Only downside for me was Mendy, I don’t mind a mistake or two but do NOT fucking turn round, throw your hands in the air and give up, not even bothering attempting to get back. You might not even get back but at least fucking try you lazy twat. I thought he’d turned a corner with the Liverpool (a) game, he was absolutely brilliant defensively and worked his bollocks off and looked like a £50-60m world class fullback. Tonight he looked like a pub player. Reminded me of Pogshit at the scum, can be unbelievably good one minute and complete fucking dogshit the next. Needs to book his ideas up and get some consistency sharpish or I think the stories about Sandro may have something in it.

Hmmm. The unnecessary and frankly ludicrous rag comparison has me thinking you may not be all that first appears.
Slight sniff
Edit: read it back in case I was being unkind, and then noticed the subtle pricetag mention.
Larger sniff

It’s early, but as it stands, we are statistically better than last season and also look better imo. We look more assured as a unit. It’s standard Pep this. He never settles. He’s a sociopath. A crazy winner and it’s reflected in his team.

The standards are getting even higher than last season where we broke multiple records.

Ha! Yeh, I'm fine with it, mate. I just thank god we've got an owner who does invest in the club / team and we've got a "savvy operator" as CEO who doesn't sell all of our best players just as we look like we're about to kick on, and doesn't replace them with quality.

I think Daniel Levy must be the most overrated man associated with football. He gets absolutely bummed for spending no money and getting huge fees for their best players. I'm sure we'd have got huge fees if we sold Silva and Aguero 6 years years ago. But in hindsight, I think holding on to them and winning 3 league titles has worked out marginally better.

The pitch was pure 1970s First Division

Were you at Derby away on the beach ?

The pitch played OK, it obviously looked shite, but it played OK, apart from the odd bad bounce, and it bobbled a bit, Stones said we adapted to it by going a bit longer at times, but we still played our football on it. In the end it hurt spurs more than us.

Is the correct answer.

Levy is treated like a saint. A hero.

He’s a billionaire and subsequently tighter than a camels arse in a sandstorm.

He invests in himself, not Tottenham.
