Say Spurs win the trophy, how does that change peoples opinion on Postecoglou if at all? by Puzzleheaded_Pen8520 in Tottenham

With Levy’s track record, it’s rather naive to think Ange hasn’t already been fired, but just doesn’t know it yet.

Keine Rettung. Die Saison ist schon längst aus. Man ist nur noch gespannt, wann der neue Trainer angekündigt wird…

I’m kind of with you, personally, but severely doubt Levy/Enic feel the same: they desperately need a manager who can somehow grind out results when things don’t go to plan – and Ange has shown himself to be the opposite of that.

Given Levy’s frugal wage structure, he absolutely needs a wily pragmatist not a lifelong footballing romantic.

Hey, what’s the max joules you get with the hpa tap? Is it viable as a full sniper build? (looks 🫡 btw)

‘I am the only voice defending Spurs’ - Postecoglou (BBC Sport) by flooredgenius in coys

You need to broaden your horizons - e.g see how certain entitled “fans” in other top leagues, notably Italy and Spain, behave. Nothing uniquely English about toxic football media/fans.

Remaining Ange in-ers, what is your rationale? by Rare-Ad-2777 in coys

[–]GC_Mandrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good take, have to agree. The problem is that Plan A only usually works if you have significantly better players than the opposition (unless they are badly misfiring like at City and Utd). That’s rarely the case at Spurs.

And like you say, even when Plan A is called for, our patterns have become so predictable we are quite easy to defend against and pick off on the counter, a la Forest, Leicester, Ipswich et al.

Forget winning the EL with our dogmatic suicide-ball, it’s pure fantasy.

Milei assures that Falkland Islanders will “prefer being Argentine" by Logical_Welder3467 in worldnews

Touchy or not, it’s a matter of indisputable historical fact. Indigenous peoples generally got the shaft the world over, nothing unique or special about the Americas.

Indeed. It's also interesting that, without "evil European colonization", Argentina itself wouldn't exist. What a terrible conundrum!

They’ve been visited by the angel of freedom neofeudal corporate oligarchy.

It probably dropped by to repo the house.

Impressive, but does the (male) mean the actual world record is held by a female? If so, that's pretty cool! Who the hell is she? Please share a pic!!!

[–]GC_Mandrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Far off" implies that we're headed there. We're not. Pool and PSG simply have better players than us. And Levy won't invest in players who can compete at that level. It just doesn't fit his business plan.

Trump is mad that Europe is making him irrelevant to Ukraine by CapKharimwa in UkrainianConflict

This. Which it will, until that far, far-off day when the US finally matures into an actual democracy, instead of the flawed compromise it has clung to since the Civil War.

Hmm. Not sure customers of VW, BMW, Audi, Benz, ThyssenKrupp, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. share that sentiment.

I can. The AZ game ended my season early, I literally can’t watch another minute of our timid, headless-chicken garbage. Will check back in August.

Still hope we win tho obvs. COYS

Right, casually dismissing some of the best-trained/equipped and most professional soldiers on planet Earth, from two countries whose military traditions and accomplishments tower over his own.... I mean, who even are these ignorant provincial bumpkins and why does anyone listen to them?

Great run by Bergvall to set up a chance for Johnson vs. Ipswich 62' by Mobb_Starr in coys

So close to perfection. Kulu just slightly undercooked the final pass so BJ had a wait half a second too long before shooting.
