A little perhaps :)

He definitely has something about him.

I'm all for keeping it local, get our identity back, so hopefully it'll be Giggs this summer, although I reckon Red Nev would make a batter manager, but too soon for him. Scholes can do the PR and Phil Nev can wash the dishes...

[Otta]

He didn't hang around at Southampton once spurs came in. Can't see him turning down one of the giants.

Spurs lucky with that penalty today.

[Jah Lush]

We're building something at Tottenham. Something lasting and hopefully very successful. Finally, I think we have the right man. We have the most up to date training ground and soon we'll have the one of the best stadiums in the world. He's bringing young players in and building a team, a team I feel that can eventually one day challenge for the title. I don't think he'll be in any hurry to leave what he has at Spurs when he can build an empire right there. One of his own making.

As a club Spurs only have look a few miles down the road to see what can be achieved with the right man building a club in his own image and have the loyalty to keep on backing him and the success that brings. I feel Mauricio Pochettino will stay with Spurs for quite a while yet and hopefully achieve great things with us.

[Mick Mac]

I hope you are right, its been a long time coming.

[Alan Medic]

Don't you think the building of the stadium is going to eat into resources otherwise used for the team?

[Jah Lush]

There is money set aside for but we have some really good talent coming through the academy and as you well know Pochettino likes to bring the youth through. He couldn't be at a better place right now.

[Alan Medic]

Yeah but even your goalkeeper said you need some experienced players.

[????]

Carefull what we wish for eh lads?

[maxxi]

Another come-back win! And Payet is well and truly back! MOTM. Like Slav said "He's a player who makes all the others better".

[Otta]

Not feeling too hopeful about LFC's chances against Arsenal tonight. But apparently we have some players back, so you never know...

['bout now]

I'm a very happy hammer, Jan 13th and we're almost safe!

[Otta]

Haha, I love that even when you're flying pretty high you're still measuring things by how many points you need to be safe.

[Otta]

Hadn't realised spurs have Leicester in the PL tonight, just after the FA Cup tie. Should be interesting.

[red devil]

From a Utd perspective, could do with a lot of draws tonight.

Foxy, you getting excited about tomorrow night yet?...

[JohnL]

Absolute joke of a refereeing performance at Swansea yesterday.

I think Curtis will have to retire through stress - he was just beginning to enjoy it too :)

[Otta]

Both Madrid teams have been banned from registering players for the next 2 transfer windows.

[red devil]

Excellent, that should mean De Gea will definitely stay at least another season. Time for the new manager to convince him his future is Red...

[Otta]

Austin to Saints for ?4m.

Strikes me as a great buy, and I don't understand why no one else has already snapped him up.

[red devil]

Agree, that's a total steal. ?4m in today's market is no risk at all. Utd certainly could've done with him...

[Otta]

I'd been hoping LFC would nick him.

[Alan Medic]

Liverpool v Man U. I've no idea what to expect. I know what I'd like, a big away win.

[Otta]

I'd obviously like the opposite. But like you I find it hard to call.

[Otta]

Whatever I expected it was better than that.

One shot on target, one goal. Liverpool can't complain, they could have scored but didn't.

Would be nice to see an actual striker starting the occasional match.

[Alan Medic]

Poor quality match. When it's against Liverpool a win is a win.

[????]

Like two once mighty warriors scrapping about in their dotage - Arsenal and City must be p1ssing themselves laughing
