Fucking hell. How embarrassing is that? Selling a keyring to celebrate getting to the final of the Carabao Cup. You start flogging that tat if you win the bloody thing. Not for simply getting to the final.

That’s Levy for you....he knows that’s the closest they’ll get
 
Spurs are not a good team. They've got some decent players, sure: but decent players do not always equate to a good team. And this is where I think Maureen's biggest weakness comes into being - he has no man-management skills whatsoever. When you see him put his arms around a player it doesn't seem natural somehow, like he's going through the motions, doing something that as the manager he feels he's supposed to be doing.
Footballers are human beings, they occasionally need a bit of reassurance and approval, they want to know that they are appreciated for what they are doing. But most of the time you get the impression that Maureen is building a wall between himself and the rest of the world: an impregnable surrounding that no mere human will ever be able to breach. It's almost like he fears friendship. It's important to him to keep people at arms length (although quite why any fucker would want to be within arms length of that toxic prick I'll never know).

He'll go to another club after he's dismantled Spurs and history will once more repeat itself. He'll start with a settled team and a decent squad, initially the players will respond positively to him, results will improve and the chairman will beam proudly in front of the media as if to say: "Ha! You all said he could never be changed. You all said we'd fucked up in appointing him." Then slowly the first signs of internal disarray surface with all the inevitability of a thieving spree in Toxteth: Maureen openly criticises his players in TV interviews, he becomes disruptive and surly, the football becomes stagnant and uninspiring, and everyone is back where they started again. He rides off into the sunset with a brain-meltingly handsome payoff, leaving behind him a club in fragments: a team shorn of creativity and a changing room full of former colleagues eyeing one another suspiciously and asking themselves where the fuck do we go from here?

Spurs took a huge step back in their progress by appointing Maureen, and they are now seeing the consequences.

Never seems to be suspect when he plays us. I texted my ERO last night and said his performance differed greatly from the one he brings to our games.

I remember him gifting us two goals at the Etihad in Pep's first season only for us to to concede twice and draw.

I would say very, I hope the authorities are checking betting patterns.

That first Liverpool goal was comical. What a pass from Mane to thread it through the eye of a needle between Dyer and Loris when there was only three feet between them and all the goalie really needed to do was fall on it as it slowly trundled past.

still, he made up for it a few moments later when he parried a scuffed and decelerating shot from mane into the only square yard of pitch that Trent - Arnold was in.

i wonder what the guy on the corruption thread has to say about Loris. He is a spuds fan I think.
 
We had better not lose to these bell ends after watching them yesterday. They were shocking.
