    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I did wonder about that, but it really does seem like overkill to me. I think I prefer the other theory as put forward by @djhotspur I know you're far more likely to be right but he made me laugh so... he wins.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    How many fitness coaches do we need? We already have the 3 Conte brought with him- as per the club website: "Antonio brings three Fitness Coaches - Costantino Coratti, Gian Piero Ventrone and Stefano Bruno." (...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Not a dig at you because you're just sharing this, but that is not what he said at all. "I understand the sacrifices this club did for me" were his actual words. Whoever has reported that has either mis-heard or deliberately twisted it into something entirely different. Edit: and reading...

    Franck Kessie

    This intrigued me so I visited youtube. Not sure what I was expecting tbh, but I did watch a man score some penalties. That's not the reason I'm posting though, cos that would be a bit shit. What isn't a bit shit is the piece of skill at 50 seconds of this video: which isn't something you...

    Harry Kane

    And it would appear that we'll get way more than 18m over the original bid if City do end up buying Kane. Surely you can't be suggesting that these entitled, arrogant fans might not be entirely correct in their arrogant, entitled beliefs? Also, that's the kind of random...

    Harry Kane

    When Real Madrid were in the process of buying Modric, I had a conversation with a Real Madrid fan. When the subject of the fee came up, he said something like- "When Real come, they will tell a club which player they are buying and how much money they will pay. That club will then bend the...

    Tokyo Olympics 2020(1)

    It had completely passed me by that the Olympics were on. And for the first time ever, I find I have no inclination to watch them. I watched a few minutes of the canoeing yesterday but that's all I've seen. Does anyone have any idea when the cycling (velodrome) starts? If anything's going to...

    Takehiro Tomiyasu

    I once knew a young lady who came from Fukuoka. I hadn't thought about her in years, until I read this thread, and the memories I'm now having are awesome. Thanks SC! I know nothing of the player beyond (checks thread title) his name and what I have read in here, but I think he's my new...

    Should Levy go for his part in the Super League... with a heavy heart I say yes.

    Well that's not correct. Several teams DID say no, for whatever reasons. Off the top of my head ... Bayern, Dortmund, PSG, Porto. I think there were a couple more as well.

    European Super League Mega Thread

    You are, I would think, mistaken. I haven't voted on anything and I suspect the majority of people who use this site haven't either. Perhaps over 50% of the people who did vote chose that option, but it really is not indicative of anything except that the people who voted chose to do so.

    European Super League Mega Thread

    Yes, I know what we both said. Again, I appreciate your reply and attempt at clarification, but...you still haven't quite caught hold of the point I was making, which is pretty much that it doesn't really matter if anything breaks FIFA law BECAUSE it has no legal reach. Maybe I should have...

    No, I got the point mate, but I appreciate you taking the time to explain it, which would have been extremely helpful if you hadn't completely missed the point of my post.

    European Super League Mega Thread

    Probably. But you know what... I'm not actually convinced that a sporting organisation should have a greater legal reach than a country's (or union of countries) government, or indeed that it does so. Maybe if FIFA threw together a manifesto outlining their plans for the improvement of my...

    Spurs leave European Super League (ESL)

    "We should like to thank all those supporters who presented their considered opinions." I suspect this translates as "I received thousands of emails calling me a ****."

    European Super League Mega Thread

    For some people, the club they support is a massive part of their identity. For some people it's their everything. For others, it either never was or that feeling has been eroded over time. There have always been people ready to accuse others of "not being proper fans" for not caring as deeply...

    European Super League Mega Thread

    Still have a lot of pages to get through in this thread, but there is something I want to address. There have been plenty of people saying that they will be done with Spurs and/or football completely if this goes ahead. And there have been several posts saying that these people are talking...

    Arsenal

    Yeah, I obviously wasn't being entirely serious! My point is that football is a contact sport but sometimes it seems that contact of any kind is being punished, which is just wrong. An over-the-ball studs-up leg-breaker is a foul, a gentle touch on the arm while two players are running together...
