Welcome MO PO. 5 year deal, I give him til Christmas.


Hopefully he'll help kickstart Lamela and Soldado's spurs careers and bring some of the young talent through- particularly Alex Pritchard.


Vertonghen has committed to the cause, hopefully Lloris and Eriksen will do the same.

it goes through lulls, and god knows we've been responsible for predicting 'this time..'


I mean there's plenty of life in it, its just there's not alot interesting to engage which is giving us regulars apathy which has crept here too.


I mean Glazer dead and nary a peep?!?


Anyway, come the world cup hopefully we'll all cheer up a bit!!

And I meant it with love, not scorn really


If I was a spurs fan I would be excited about this appointment too. But would I be confident? A great job at Southampton to be sure (although he inherited a pretty good squad), and there have been boardroom shenanigans to navigate there as well but, but.


Levy + a not majorly experienced manager at top level? Could turn out to be another Brendan Rodgers* or could turn out to be yet-another-spurs-manager


* I harbour some doubts as to wether Brendan Rodgers will be so well regarded this time next year

Personally I think the jury is out on Roy Keane - he failed at Ipswich but got a promotion at Sunderland. I'm not sure I want him but I'd prefer him to Coyle who turned it down before. Other more ambitious targets are also likely to say no.


In the 1980s Celtic were finishing 4th and 5th in Scotland - the job has to be done and done well. Only fools take success for granted.





Keane's bumpy ride


Sept 2006: Inspires Sunderland to a 2-1 win over Derby in his first game as manager.

March 2007: Leaves three players behind when they are late for team bus to Barnsley.

April 2007: Carlo Edwards scores a great winner over Burnley to put Keane on course for promotion and title.

April 2008: Premier League survival ensured with a 3-2 win over Middlesbrough.

Oct 2008: Sunderland fans dance in thestreet as they beat Newcastle for the first time in 25 years.

Nov 2008: Keane says he may quit after abject 4-1 defeat by Bolton. He walks away four days later.

I'm not convinced by the idea of Pochettino at Spurs. His famous double training sessions might have gone down well with the young aspirational Southampton squad, but, the likes of Adebayor will be less keen. I guess he could ship a load of players out and bring in a fresh batch; wouldn't that have an element of deja vu for the fans?

I agree that Pochettino did well at Soton but didn't perform miracles. They weren't doing too badly when he arrived and they had a habit of producing great young players that bigger clubs poach long before he arrived. If he can take one or two of them with him that would help - and he should get shot of the Billy-Big-Bollocks.


Wish we had him though.

Is ending an opponents career by busting someones leg on the pitch really necessary?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).

      Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft.
