I like how when It seemed like we might appoint Pochettino the newspapers told us we were too sentimental and shouldn't go back. Now Levy is vain.

The article is actually nothing about Poch and more about us. It’s pretty good and quite accurate.

Indeed. Football journalism has always been rife with garbage articles from lazy journos, but it's got so much worse over the past few years as newspapers chase online ad revenue and the content churn has accelerated.

I mean it's not ideal and Chelsea are grade A wankers but some are reaching butthurt levels you'd expect were he joining Arsenal, you know our actual hated rivals, and actively snubbed our desperate efforts to get him back in the process.

This club has had a hard on for ex Chelsea managers for over a decade now. Maybe that's why I don't think of this as such a personal affront. What's good for the goose...

Levy is about to see what Poch could have done if backed properly.

Poch was backed when he signed Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon and Sanchez. Let’s hope his Chelsea signings have a similar impact.

The worst thing about this is that now everytime Poch farts its a story that comes up in my Tottenham newsfeed. I couldn't give a fuck about reading the detail about his time in Chelsea so I'm looking forward to him being sacked. Outside of that I'll see how he's doing by looking at the table. The Chelsea fans won't need much to turn on him so that might get juicy but right now he can get fucked. I'm annoyed he broke his word about never being able to manage them, it shows he was not as genuine as he came across. He would have been offered a decent job elsewhere and he didn't need the money.

That said, The Chelsea fans must have been fed up with us taking their old managers. Probably made them hate us more but it all ended up rosy for them in the end.

Whether we like it or not, we'll be compared with Poch's time as Spurs manager and whatever Poch is doing now. 3 managers later, two of them big time winners, and we're nowhere close to what Poch achieved when he was here. Heading downwards in fact.

I expect he'll do quite well over there. And the poor bastard that takes us on will be almost certainly fall short of Spurs Poch and Chelsea Poch. But 'never go back' and all that superstitious bollox
