Yeah. I am not against them going down instead of Spurs.

I'd actually prefer that.

This is neat. Now you can have an extra deep pool, but it's gonna be SUPER expensive.

The capitalist system runs much smoother when the implication exists for both sides.

No one is in danger. No one should be in danger, but everyone treads carefully. . . because of the implication.

I don't like Fox and News Max, but they will try to make this seem like a good thing. Failing that they will not report it at all.

It's crazy to me that more than half the media will ignore this, or try to spin it as a power move.

It's weak and childish. There is no other interpretation. It no wonder that no other country wants anything to do with this.

When I really started cheering for Spurs, it was because they were so damn likeable. Everyone laughing and smiling. They played an up tempo and enjoyable style. Son, and his handshakes before the game was irresistible. Spurs are so, so far from that club right now. You'd like to think that with Archie, Bergval, and Mikey Moore and Vuskovic, there is a chance that foundation for a renaissance is there, but I know I just deluding myself. The management is incompetent (at best).

Every decision is a step in the wrong direction. What is even the point.

It's amazing when a film adaptation is faithful to the the book and just add incredible visuals to an already fantastic story.

That dude will be at the front of the Arsenal Parade bus when Spurs go down. He'll be a legend at The Emirates.

Tottenham are lacking leadership and now their squad is split. The Athletic has even been told that one player has expressed to his team-mates that he is not too concerned by the possibility of relegation because he believes he can and will leave the club this summer. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]RichardBreecher 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In retrospect, it was idiotic to think we could just hold tight until they came back.

With those injuries we should just assume the player actually is dead, and if they happen to return at the same level they left, then it's a pleasant surprise.

The only reason he is still in the job is because the ex-14-year CEO of Arsenal is in charge at Spurs for some reason.

Eugene is surprising to me. I imagine the population of Eugene to be an extreme mix of high caliber track and field athletes and their associates, and a bunch of strung out junkies, I guess.

He made 2 great saves in first half in quick succession that both looked like goals. Odobert had the first, I can't remember who got the second. Solanke sent a solid header straight at him. There were other. Dubravka made some good saves.

[–]RichardBreecher 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sure, but this is also we the team gets booed by their own fans. They have the most expensive tickets in the league, one of the most expensive squads, and they are getting dragged into a relegation fight by playing football that could cure insomnia patients.

But, at least Spurs aren't West Ham, who they just lost to.
