Match Threads Spurs v Barcelona - Match Thread

[JCRD]

Remove the Spurs angle... what is that you enjoy about football?

Seriously the only football I have njoy is watching spurs play althiugh I will watch other games.

The issue I had was that I don't like watching us lose it is erm upsetting and I'm proud of my team so to see barca makes fools of us at times was a pride denting experience. That's how I felt though and I'm not gonna measure other people with how I felt.

It is a tad small time too having said that I can see why people would appreciate Barcelona and so do I but not during the game at the stadium when we are losing.

Re.Hazard, Sarri has had the luxury of being able to bring him back slowly, plus he's the only player of theirs who went that far. You keep making statements that hold no water such as saying that Pochettino was lying when he said he was proud of his players. To say he doesn't know how to stop it just reveals your mindset. Also, the argument amongst ourselves trope relates to one incident between Toby and Trippier. When faced with a force of nature like Messi, the best laid plans can be a mess.
Your biases are very transparent. Why don't you tell us what you really think about whether you still want Poch at the club? Why don't you and your other middle-aged mates tell us who you wish was still in charge of the team?
Maybe you need to look in the mirror when it comes to delusional.

No need to get ageist as well as delusional.

Frankly I would love Poch to remain at the club - but with the right backing. I'm not biased at all, I want what we all want; to have added some players who Poch wanted to the squad and for the team to be playing better football, for the team to win the league, for the team to progress in the champions league, for the team to win a trophy.

All of these things will mean we have more chance of player (and manager) retention come next summer - but the way things are going only one is looking even vaguely possible (winning a trophy). Failing to achieve CL and not winning anything again will likely make next summer a very, very dark period so i'm hoping Levy allows Poch to dip into the market come January.

And before you say it, this is not a doom-mongering 'agenda' this is a realistic assessment based on what we have seen so far in the summer, in the CL and in the league since it started. We were very poor against Cardiff but came away with the 3-points luckily. But performances like this paper only serve to over the cracks. And why am I qualified to give such an assessment? Because that's why we're all here, right?

You didn't or couldn't answer any of the points I made in answer to your contentions. We nevet get up to speed at this time of year and have had significant injuries, few of which could have been addressed in that contracted window. Despite all this, we are two points off the top. It doesn't matter about how we play at this point of the season as long as we are picking up the points, which we have.
I suspect we will be buying in the January window along with other big clubs.
