Tottenham Hotspur

Mourinho and Conte are ultimately chequebook managers who have succeeded at the financially dominant clubs in various countries that they have managed. There’s very few in that elite coterie of super franchises who will back a manager to the tune of over a billion like Woolwich have done with Lego Head.

Spurs are in a better financial position than 84 or 85 of the 92 clubs in the English football league. Ultimately though, they are well short of the financial clout of the elite coterie of 5 or 6 super franchises, some of whom are also bankrolled by human rights abusing and murdering despotic regimes.

Conte has succeeded with loads of clubs who were not financially dominant.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter to me, I’m not a footix and, so long as it isn’t Liverpool, I don’t really care who wins the EPL.

He does play ā€œthe Spurs wayā€

He is that but there a bit of management nous required as well.

Imagine lil ol spurs thinking they were bigger than Conte. Bizarre

Surely even a chequebook manager like Conte could get a tune out of a team with a higher net spend than City or Liverpool over the last 5 years :man_shrugging:

Romero equalises at Newcastle. 1-1

Dodgy peno there

A penalty like that could only be given against Spurs. Absolute joke.

Romero equalises on 95 minutes with an overhead kick. 2-2.

Surprised that prick of a ref didn’t rule it out for a high foot.

Romero is the quintessential Argentinian - great bits of skill, would cut you in two and could start a row in a telephone box . As they say in his neck of the woods ā€œ Un Pelatudoā€

Porto?

2-0 down at the City Ground, Nottingham and slumping to yet another defeat. Slipping towards a relegation battle.

The hipster getting a proper lesson from Sean Dyche

Sean Dyche is a proper manager. Nothing particularly hipster about Thomas Frank. He’s just dull and the way the team has played all season seems very reflective of him.

This is just utterly dismal. Luckily, like last season, there looks to be 3, maybe even 4 appalling teams in the league, so we’ll probably just about avoid relegation again.

Richarlison pulls a goal back for the 10 men.

1-2

Off to LiVARpool now to try and find a reason to chalk it off.

Every attack ye make now there’s a Liverpool player rolling around on the ground to try to stall ye

Spurs down to 9 now.

Romero gets a second yellow after Spurs win a free kick on the edge of the box.

Dippers diving and falling around and play acting all game.

Ref may as well have put a Liverpool jersey on here
