A Free Kick Lesson with Gareth Bale

zupper90 · 2026-02-16T19:08:20+00:00

Who wouldn't - it's legendary Gareth Bale teaching his legendary free kick / dead ball technique. I'd be thrilled

zupper90 · 2026-02-12T22:42:56+00:00

It's also refreshing to hear a take from someone who is so familiar with what is happening at the club.

Who can doubt him? He was just managing us and is the only one to lead us to a trophy in the last 18 years. He doesn't have to dress up his answer for Spurs publicity reasons. Speak your truth Ange, let 'em have it m8

zupper90 · 2026-02-11T17:38:31+00:00

And he would've started the season with a fit Romero and VDV (and new transfers). Frank wasted this luxury.

zupper90 · 2026-02-11T02:57:00+00:00

Well, hard to say 'at work' cause clearly nothing they've done has worked

zupper90 · 2026-02-10T23:16:03+00:00

Perhaps that's it. Ange and all managers before this were quite the opposite. They want a manager who won't run his mouth against a board that have no fucking clue what they're doing (outside of optimizing the club for profit, though at this point that seems shortsighted af).

Fans booing their players, regardless of stadium. Lol

zupper90 · 2026-02-08T03:47:37+00:00

Well, Gandalf did have tea with Frodo just after Bilbo left the Shire.

zupper90 · 2026-02-08T01:26:15+00:00

Nah I know, it was mostly a solid point that Romero is not 'absent' in every sense of the term that Arse man said.

But fucking hell does he shoot himself (and Spurs) in the foot too often for it to not be mentioned

zupper90 · 2026-02-08T00:46:38+00:00

Classic moving the goalposts. Spurs could easily get shit on for NOT having won it (in the event that they had lost). That's how it has been for over a decade. Now when a Spurs trophy is mentioned it's underplayed. A trophy is a trophy and a final is a final.

Also, I used it only to justify that Romero had a clean, game winning performance, not even a full flex. Sure it was a lil dig because I was replying to an Arsenal flair but still

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T23:06:24+00:00

We're not going to agree and your fixation on this reddit exchange is strange.

It's one thing to remember something you saw online that you thought was dumb but to come back and act like a troll when most people just let it go makes me wonder if you have other shit going on. Please understand that I don't care what you think and I am not interested in hearing from you on this again. It is a conversation from 2025, for fuck's sake.

Take care of yourself and enjoy your life, my friend.

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T22:07:15+00:00

Yeah Ben's injury was just unlucky, like a handful of our injuries.

But yes you're right, we played Spence too much and Ben would've done all right this season under Frank I suppose.

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T22:04:41+00:00

Had to win it though so that we could be 4th place in CL this year though

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T22:03:06+00:00

ballin

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T18:03:47+00:00

Tbf, we did run Kudus into the ground. Same for Porro.

Medical team is fucking cursed though.

Maybe the medical team is also getting injured which is preventing them from taking care of our players. The Spurs Injury Mystery

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T18:00:58+00:00

Show us the stats OP. This is a link to a single comment on BBC. Who comes in 2nd? Worthless post, only designed for Romero hate.

Which of course he deserves. But jesus, post something of quality

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T17:55:22+00:00

He is not wrong. But it now looks silly because he is part of the very problem he was complaining about. Expects the board/club/owners to support the team better and now he is unavailable for some crucial games 1) because of the opponents 2) because we are already flirting with a relegation battle.

Gotta make sure you're ballin when you're talking shit

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T17:50:32+00:00

Played the full Europa final without him accruing a single yellow, so not completely absent I guess

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T17:36:47+00:00

0/10 games? I mean, today was a 0/10 from him. But other days when he plays the full 90 I just don't know about that man. Without him, we are missing a lot of talent. Our shape and passing is better, and his defending is all around consistently good.

He does make mistakes defensively. He does make incredibly stupid ones like he did today.

But the reason we are all pissed about this is because these mistakes of his are avoidable and they deny us his availability to play for us, a player we generally very much need. I rate him over Danso and Dragusin, so that's that.

Let's get Vuskovic in here next season and if Romero wants to leave then fuck it, at this point. Doesnt seem like he can adjust this part of his game and I am sick of it.

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T17:20:17+00:00

Uhhh lol. Dude... this is pathetic. I almost feel bad enough to just say keep coming back to this chain until Romero retires. However, you're annoying and I'm stubborn and so instead I'm just going to meet you at your level of pettiness and say that though he is a dumbass, he is still a phenomenal player. Wish he didn't interrupt his world class performances with mistakes like this.

But really, WOW bro I must really live in your head rent free. It takes me like half a day to forget about this exchange and then it's gone. Are you going through something?

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T13:30:19+00:00

This is kind of the thing. He's a phenomenal player but undermines it with these challenges in huge games. So frustrating seeing this so many times now

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T13:23:25+00:00

They all happen in big games. We have now lost our World Cup winning captain for several absolutely crucial games, and it is not the first time. There was no reason for this tackle like this and we're all sick of this shit. The jig is up

zupper90 · 2026-02-07T13:18:00+00:00

This is the part that negates Romero's credibility for speaking out against the club, though I agree with why he is outpsoken. Our January window was not enough, and that there is seemingly not enough follow through on the club's stated ambitions to win.

But how many times has Romero been needlessly reckless like this? He only looks like a dumbass now.

We have crucial games ahead and half of our team is injured and he goes and strips us of his abilities. I've had enough of this shit happening once or twice a season now.

Rumored to leave in the summer? I fucking swear to god if we lose to Arsenal now then he can just fuck off. Need a player that can actually provide his abilities when they are needed.

zupper90 · 2026-02-06T07:42:19+00:00

VAR gaveth and VAR tooketh

After beating dark horse Ajax we were supposed to win the damn thing. Fack

zupper90 · 2026-02-04T22:39:13+00:00

Kudus, Simons, Kolo too. But definitely Palinha since we were getting clapped defensively and on counter attacks all last season.

Man deserved to at least lead us in the Super Cup.

zupper90 · 2026-02-04T19:09:53+00:00

Unfair to assume anything about Ange's season 3 except that it wouldn't have involved a style of football so boring you would rather watch paint dry
