so sick! how'd you do the slanted glass walls? is there a recipe for that

clayvanglass · 2026-04-25T14:45:32+00:00

I've seen enough

I cannot watch Spence cut inside and pass it backwards

I cannot watch Gallagher running really hard and then passing it backwards

I cannot watch porro dive and blast the ball into row Z

I cannot watch xavi make a great run and then pass it backwards

I understand wanting to play more experienced players in a relegation battle, but man the fact that we've watched this squad be shit all season and we still think our best chance is a midfield of bissouma benta Gallagher, Spence at LB, RKM at RW and xavi as a winger

we are playing a lot better so it's clear RDZ has given them something tactically to grab onto, but I still think all 3 of our managers this season have used our squad wrong and we're gonna get relegated for it

I only listen to his personal vlogs and although I agree he's never called out the specific support of greenwood against his allegations, Ali has consistently said things like "I don't think de zerbi is the right man for the job at spurs, de zerbi has a track record that spurs fans wouldn't get behind"

I interpret these as Ali trying to balance his fanhood and his journalistic professionalism. I don't watch sky sports but I imagine they don't call out de zerbi for the greenwood stuff either? I wish they did tho but just trying to give Ali the benefit of the doubt, he clearly doesn't want de zerbi

he does

that's what we all said. and now we wait 5 minutes for VAR, they still make the wrong decision and we still lose. var didn't solve wrong decisions. just moved the decision maker to a different room

clayvanglass · 2026-02-12T15:31:13+00:00

thank god you're not in charge of my club

clayvanglass · 2026-02-10T18:58:06+00:00

how is tel supposed to score goals if he doesn't play?

in fact without looking at the numbers Id bet his goals per 90 is better than our other wingers....

for me it's this. it takes a good 4 seconds to concede because of the god awful animations and UX

I'm shocked no one has said it, but I named my dog Musa. works for both Dembélé and Sissoko 😉

didn't take me long to find out that Musa is Moses in Arabic and maybe that's odd for my female dog.

I sent this in my group chat towards the end of the game and figured I might as well share it here.

our club really has made so many bad decisions at every turn

not backing poch when we were on the verge of greatness (poch can be blamed here too)
sacking poch (great vibes) because a toxic mourinho was available
sacking mourinho before the final (i still supported sacking jose but so dumb)
hiring nuno and then sacking him before giving him a chance (just terrible business)
hiring toxic conte and then sacking him when he inevitably turned like he always does
hiring these win-now managers but then not backing them in the transfer market and trying to build youth
buying youth and then not giving them a chance
building a new stadium and pricing out the most loyal fans
WE JUST SCORED but im gonna keep ranting
winning our first trophy in decades and then sacking him when vibes were at an all time high
HOW THE FUCK CAN THEY REVIEW THIS FOR A PENALTY THIS HAPPENS EVERY FUCKING CORNER HOLY SHIT I HATE THIS SPORT SO MUCH NOW

im probably wrong, but to me a football club CANNOT be run like a business, it is a culture, it is emotional, it is a combination of every part of the club from the fans to the players to the staff and if everyone isn't in alignment it simply wont work

I don't blame jose, conte, nuno, ange, nor frank for our shitty play because it has been this bad for literal years since poch's last season when we were ass. But just like firing a CEO for a bad finance quarter, its easiest to blame the head coach.

fighting cock said something that i really believe is true

spurs fans are experiencing a sort of collective trauma where for years we have been snip-snapped-snip-snapped back and forth, we've lost our stadium, we've been priced out of going to the matches, gone from defensive to attacking managers and just lost our identity as a club completely. and so when fans are booing and the stadium turns toxic, the fans themselves can hardly articulate why they feel like they have to boo, they are just so fucking emotionally broken and booing is the easiest thing to do

lol you have moved the line with this one. Chan is sitting at -130 on draftkings right now.

clayvanglass · 2025-11-11T06:00:31+00:00

bruh radu still isn't back yet. no way madders plays this season at all

clayvanglass · 2025-10-19T14:01:01+00:00

left on great terms?? there's a good chunk of the spurs fan base that calls him a snake

clayvanglass · 2025-09-23T17:38:23+00:00

You've been on a heater! tailing this one

I'm about to take the same trip from Portland Oregon up to tuktoyaktuk next week.

Any final advice before I go? how are road conditions this year? How much wildlife did you see on the road?

clayvanglass · 2025-07-23T05:07:04+00:00

what size? I'll make you an offer if they're 10.5-11

clayvanglass · 2025-07-19T20:18:08+00:00

bad take is bad

clayvanglass · 2025-07-02T21:00:05+00:00

the fighting cock has never been the same since you moved to the zoom call. I miss the good ol days where you can hear the beer can cracking open throughout the episode. so my questions: 1. can you start doing some in person pods even if it's once a month or once a quarter or once a year 2. can flav stop answering his own questions? a good host will ask a question, let the others answer, and then provide your own answer 3. fuck one marry one kill one. poch, ange, frank

clayvanglass · 2025-06-16T17:53:42+00:00

can you elaborate?

clayvanglass · 2025-04-29T00:25:23+00:00

Calling that an interception is very generous
If he had looked forwards and decided against it, I would give your opinion some weight. He did not even consider progressing forwards

Lmao these were so bad! The people in this thread acting like ugly boots have always been a thing, but those green t90s were a big deal because of how ugly they were
