Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Interesting reaction from Spurs fans; not much blame of Nuno and really turning on Levy. Thing is, if you look at Levy's 20 year tenure, Spurs are in a far better position than when he took over, but the past 3 years or so have been a catalogue of errors. They had a top quality manager committed fo...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Should've gone all out to get him in the summer, Spurs just wasted 3 months and a bunch more cash paying off a manager, who was pretty shit by the time his stay at Wolves ended.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (a)

Looking forward to this, effectively a home game for me as it is only a 20min walk down the road. Really hoping that we can bounce back.

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Sanguine One of the worst penalties you will ever see, by Granada's Luis Suarez. Albeit it does appear that the turf around the penalty spot gave way.

Thats shocking, very reminiscent of Beck's penalty away at Turkey.

Re: Football Stadia - Past, Present & Future

Anfield is the only "big ground" I am yet to go to. Hoping we get a 3rd round FA Cup tie there. Had an away season ticket in 06/07 so I can happily say I have done all of the big grounds. Went to Old Trafford for the first time that season, remember vividly how underwhelmed I was by it. E...

Re: Football Stadia - Past, Present & Future

Looks good, tbf, and if it improves the visibility from the back of the away end, all the better. Went there in 06/07 for our game and sat at the back and it was horrendous.

If the claim he turned down the Serbian national job last year is true, then maybe he does enjoy the challenge here. He currently has a 40% win rate at Championship level though, do maintain that and there will be no shortage of interested parties next summer. Less likely if he maintains this seaso...

Re: Next Manager

As it stands, Pauno will be leaving come the summer as his contract runs out. Other than for the money and blight on his personal reputation why would he wish to stay. Probably has learnt a lot and will seek a new better challenge. Why would him staying be a blight on his reputation? Maybe he is se...

Re: Injuries: new setup needed at the club?

So even with only 15 outfield players we were able to able to field a side that was pretty solid, noone majorly out of position and beat records. We've been playing midfielders in defence and as full backs, midfielders up front. Despite a larger squad where we should have 50% more residual fit play...
