Spurs thread 2020/21

My thing with Spurs this season is that you should never write off Mourinho. Sure he might come comically unstuck but in what could be a gritty season, he could take advantage.

I can't see them in a title race, but if Chelsea faff around too long bedding new players in and United revert to type, then there may be an easy opening for top 4.
 
Started watching the spurs doc.

At this current moment in time it should be called Harry Kane is a Legend. Portrayed as a Kompany like figure in his dressing room.
 
I dunno if it's just me but there's no subtitles appearing anytime another language is spoken. Only a black background.

Jose comes across as his a very complex man. Telling Derty Ali he's a lazy fucker and the lad is laughing about it.
 
Big fan of all the "All or Nothing " series. Quite enjoying the Spurs one too. Mourinho comes across better than I expected, Levy and bit of a twat and Harry Kane is not a inspirational leader, intact his rallying rematch calls are a bit embarrassing.

I laughed at the bit where SSN is on and the pundit says Jose is past it. So he walks up to the TV and says "Fuck you"

Levy "I like to think we are a caring club" The lying furloughing ****.

And Derty Ali is a lazy, smug ****. Who'd have thought it?

Son comes across very well. Fantastic attitude. You could see he was hurting from being sent off.
 
Firstly, I'm aware of our strong Spurs rivalry going back to the final etc. I have always found their fans to be quite twatty whenever I've been to WHL.

I thought the team and club have come across well so far in the series, may be that's what led to their poor run of form, being too nice (apart from Ali/Kane). I'm also sure there's a lot that goes on off camera. A lot of the players seem a nice bunch, especially Vertonghen and Toby. Eriksen was running down his contract but he still seemed to keep his head down, trained and was quite professional about it all. A lot of players probably would have created a bad atmosphere and done the opposite.

Aurier seemed very grounded when discussing his background during the charity visit. Son in my view has a sly nasty streak on the pitch, then cries when a decision goes against him. Off the field shows great attitude and cares for the club. Jose appears to still be in his honeymoon/likeable phase, his team talks were also emotive and generic. Obviously they have cut out anything related to tactics. I don't think anything Kane did was inspirational, just played up to the cameras with generic motivational soundbites you'd hear on a Sunday League pitch. Fantastic player though.

Again though, I'm sure there's a lot that goes on off Camera and certain there's more to it. Very strange how they changed their tune on the pitch after Jose's arrival.

After the oh so special one's comments about FFP, plus that swanky new stadium to pay for, maybe Spurs are going to be shopping in Lidl rather than Fortnum and Mason for the time being.

We've just signed the most famous and in demand player in football.









Women's football. ;-)

Alex Morgan.
 
Deeney might well be on a backup list in the event of nothing else happening but, as well as Milik, we're also being linked with players like Daka, Edouard and Leao. And a more likely backup option is Diallo from Metz.
 
The All or Nothing series highlights how weak they are as a team, no leaders and Mourinho looks a decade out of date. Really lacking in quality outside of Lloris, Lucas Mora and Son; Dele Alli and Kane are good on their day, but average most of the time. Kane doesn't really look very happy, and his team talks reflect Spurs' performances on the pitch. Also, what have they done to Ndombole, gutted when he went there, thought he would be the perfect Fernandinho replacement. Anyway, not going to lose any sleep over their shiteness!!

They still took 4 points of us.

Albeit thanks to Oliver and being shit at taking penalties.

Nice ground, shame about the team.

How long do we think Mourinho will last ?

Gone by Xmas ?

To me it looked like he tried quite hard last season to get an early pay off before realising Levy isn’t going to do that, especially so in this current climate and mourinho isn’t going to walk away from a payoff so I think they’ll be reluctantly stuck with each other. Maybe if the players revolt and it’s him or sell Kane and son (do they have anybody else of value?) then that could be the cheaper option otherwise I think he will at least see out the season. Spurs deserves this.

Bit early for a Jose meltdown but I'll take it. Might happen if they get bummed in Bulgaria as he was desperate to try and get the tie switched to London and was told to get fucked.

He didn't do that at Porto; or at Chelsea first time around; or at Inter. I have no idea whether or not he did it at Madrid. The whole club was a circus back then.

Chelsea second time around, he walked into a toxic dressing room. The same players, for the most part, did exactly the same thing to Antonio Conte a couple of years later. At United, he walked into a club that was just a mess, with a clueless Chief Executive and board who were intent on marquee signings rather than actually listening to Mourinho and building a team. Or did you not realise that Mourinho wasn't calling most of the shots on player incomings there? Nevertheless, I concede that his particular character would only have added fuel to the flames that were already burning at those clubs when he arrived.

Who knows what will happen at Spurs? Maybe it will all go up in flames there too. But you can't assume that that will necessarily happen just because it has happened a couple of times in the past. After all, would it have been right to assume that Pep wouldn't stay at City for more than 3-4 years because that was all he had done at any club previously?

The point is, he did it at the rags, and he did it at the Kremlin second time around. In other words, his last two jobs.

He's already started on your players, calling them lazy yesterday. If Pep has any faults, criticising his charges in public isn’t one of them.

The worst thing a manager can do is alienate his players. It leads to resentment and, eventually, downing tools. PEG has form for this, and it already looks like it’s happening again.
