Love how Newcastle fans have become so arrogant after essentially just becoming rich and having a good run last season.
Oh would I love them to freefall this season.

I appreciate it was tough supporting them through Mike Ashley era, but the arrogance after finishing above us one season and their obsession in discussing how we will fade away. Hope we do them over big time at St James's and will be on to read the comments then.

No match thread yet, but this was in the Premier League 23/24 thread.
  • What has to happen on Saturday is that Boscombe have to go about Spurs like WE are expecting 3 points...attack them aggressively and do a fortress job on them.
    If we don't do that and drop 3 points ..that's 1 from 3 games.. then the season will go rapidly pear- shaped from there.
    Spurs are NOT a team we should in any way fear.. they are not very good ..nowhere near Liverpool or even West Ham I would say.
Nowhere near West Ham????

Guess Bournemouth fans avoid looking at the table every year.

What I love is that everyone is expecting us to be in a state of transition and poorer than last season now we’ve sold H. I’m sure the United fans thought so too.

We are no where West Ham - I would agree with him on that statement.

The direction, is where I would differ

What opposition fans want to forget, is that City are the only other team who went to Selhurst Park this year, and won 1-0. And City got a penalty later on and were down to 10 men as well. So good luck to any team who thinks they can do better than us there, this season.
They’re not even delusional but rather outright ignorant to other information. We went to Selhurst Park and turned them over 4-0 yet they’re banging on about a 1-0 win there like it’s some sort of badge of honour?

  • Rarely watch other matches but the last 5 minutes of Man U and Spurs has been entertaining.
    Hernandez with a big miss, minutes later booked for mouthing off, then Spurs hit the woodwork twice in less than 30 seconds
  • Those are the beer goggles talking
  • thought these snide teams would get away with their usual antics but its being consistently penalised
  • Two unlikeable teams. My boy asked who "we" wanted to win. His face when I said neither was one of great confusion
  • You’d be hard pressed to find more snitty, snidey unlikable players on one pitch at the same time, that’s for sure.
  • God I hate Spuds

  • We bore them to sleep then score the winner in the 98th minute
  • Spuds players going down easier than Gillian Taylforth in a passenger seat.
  • you can drive a bus through the spurs defence
  • tbf to Ange, he certainly doesn't believe in defending and holding on to a lead
  • Spurs will struggle for goals this season
  • Ange P's tactical changes and subs have been very good. Completely nullified Man United this second half. Imagine when he gets used to the league...
  • They have made Tottenham look better than they are.
  • Not sure how Ange would have implemented this philosophy with our players. Would we have had the players to do it?
  • Bissouma is going to be a very good player again this season, unfortunately
  • Think Spurs fans will enjoy their football a lot more under this manage sadly
  • Looks a great gaffer that Ange
  • Last year, Spurs lose that, imho
  • Really like Postecoglou, such a shame he ended up over there.
  • In true Spurs fashion, they do a lap of honour after just the second game of the season.
  • It’s a real shame that Spurs have a pretty likeable manager in Ange.
  • Play the best football in the league with a fraction of pep's budget

Arsenal Mania

  • Yeah we totally should've signed him last season when he was crap for the whole duration of it
  • He wasn't though, he had a manager who barely started him. He was one of Brighton's top performers when he was there. Yesterday he looked more press resistant than Partey does.
  • It’s one game tho, head to head Partey will probably eat him alive
  • Sarr impressed me more. He played like a young Vieira and was everywhere.
    Ange had balls to start these out of favoured or young players. It's all about vision and style of football for him
  • They’re no threat at all. VDV looks like he’s got wellies on
  • Sp**s have a serious player in Sarr. Genuine world class potential to be a Paddy like figure. Those long legs and strides, sliding to ground early and still making the tackle reminded me of Vieira tackling technique.
    Now Kane has gone, If I could take one player form them. It would be Sarr
  • Sarr looks good but let’s see if he can sustain the performances to some consistent level. Udogie is another young one who looks talented - impressed in serie A.
  • Good Start for Tottenham this season. They can focus on creating a New Team style of play, without the Harry Kane factor.
    I think Ange Postecoglou (in a way) has nothing to lose. Having not worked with Harry Kane in this Team, he can create his own Team. Plus the funds for Harry Kanes transfer.
  • If they bring that wide open football here, we’ll beat the Kaneless Sp**s 5-0.
  • I thought this as well , we'd just cut them to pieces in 20 mins . Then I saw us play yesterday
  • I saw enough of that VDV they’ve got to know we will absolutely destroy them. He’s very flat footed which is a big problem with Ødegaard and Saka on his side
  • We'll still cut them to pieces I think.

    Its clear that opposition refuse to engage us in open play. They want play us like Everton does when we go to Goodison Park, which is to constantly defend and look for counter attacking play.
    What opposition fans want to forget, is that City are the only other team who went to Selhurst Park this year, and won 1-0. And City got a penalty later on and were down to 10 men as well. So good luck to any team who thinks they can do better than us there, this season.
    If Sp**s want to play ball with us, then it will be an open game where we can hurt them, and to be fair to them, they can hurt us. It will be who controls the game better on the day, and I think we are better equipped to do that.
  • As if Tottenham with Bissouma and Sarr is going to play the ball around against us lmfao. They will just play like Nottingham Forest and play 11 at the back.
    Saw Bissouma and Sarr have bad touches, needing time to control it against United who basically barely pressed them.
  • Anges men off to a good start, annoyingly enough Maddison looks way better way quicker than I expected. Levels between our two teams still, though
  • Sp**s will go straight at us , Postecoglou himself said he's more concerned about ingraining the style of play rather than points this season .At the same time they aren't very good playing out , Mancs pinned them for 20-25 mins . The version of us that played City will hammer them but like I said tonight our passing movement and pressing look off .
  • I didn't realise we are playing them at the Emirates . We will ****ing smash them
  • They will maybe score 1 goal across the 2 fixtures this season and we'll hit them for 6 or 7. Without Kane's guaranteed soft BS penalty every match, they have nothing to trouble us.
  • Never seen a more deluded club than Sp**s I mean i read some idiots saying Dele was better than Ødegaard and Wanyama was also better in his pump than Rice I'm honestly astonished
The irony in this post is off the charts! Fuck me!

Young United colleague at work said "I'll be calling you Monday morning. I'm worried about your lot this season without Kane. 12th is where I think you'll finish. Honestly think we'll beat you 3/4 nil. Not been this confident in a Utd win for a long time against Spurs."

He hasn't called me all week so I've sent him an email asking him if his phone is broken.

Any opposition fans checking the Kane thread probably thought we were early season relegation candidates.

And what the hell has gone wrong with the world when Bournemouth fans say something like "Spurs are NOT a team we should in any way fear?"

This may be hard for Tottenham supporters to understand but almost all other fans are optimistic about their clubs. Give them the scent of victory and they'll dream about the champions league and the title.

Ask yourself, why were the Greeks culturally superior to the Romans? My feeling is that it has to do with the greek understanding of catastrophic collapse. Unlike the savages of the Italian peninsular, the hellenes were familiar with the great bronze age collapse. If you read plato you see that they understood not only how civilizations could crumble through wars and time but also from natural disasters.

Which other clubs have the perspective and experience we have? None. They are children. Disgusting, lice ridden children who resent us evem as they fail to understand us. However, one might almost envy their naivety.

The Greeks got there first? It's hard to beat the truths they spoke without blatant plagiarism.
The boy Aurelius is arguably the stand out performer for both teams given this.

There is optimism and then there is myopia.

You can be optimistic without having to talk the opposition down.

You deserve a like just for getting a reference to Plato, coherently into a topic on a football forum.

Reference the Socratic approach to 4.4.2 and I'll give you a winner

He used it in the youth setup and it corrupted them. The club had always played 5-3-2 but he didn't believe in it and introduced this new 4-4-2 system. Refused to apologise to the board and instead proposed they keep him on with an incresed wage. Got sentenced to death sacked.

Getting Socrates into the chat should be easier - he was amazing at the 82 World Cup and a player with his profile would fit Ange’s system perfectly

This is true. The only PL club that is similar to us in this regard is Everton imo
