Roy Keane is GOD!!! Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Tell you what I liked about the Spurs v Cardiff game. When Soldado scored, to his obvious relief, every single one of his team mates (apart from the keeper) was encouraged to get in there and celebrate with him. And they did. Good for them, I like that!They celebrated with him cos it will enhance his reputation, they can get rid of him quicker now! Thats what they are pleased about, get a real goal scorer in!!!

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I've said it many times, Soldado = good player, bit of luck and he's going to be a handful for many defenders. Like all strikers, he will need that bit of luck. COYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangle Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I keep telling you that Vertoghenongagong is rubbish. Not up to it people. Anyway, a demoralising defeat, and a couple of knocks, Benfica on Thursday, hopefully Kaboul will be banned for the Arsenal game (although sounds like he was unlucky so that may get overturned). Quite a bad day for Tottenham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveG Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 It was just one of those games for Spurs, everybody gets them from time to time. When Demba Ba scores twice then you know it just isn't going to be your day. Some of us can remember facing Liverpool back in the Seventies. It was a tall enough order just to play against them, but if Emlyn Hughes somehow managed to get his name on the scoresheet then you knew the gods were certainly not going to smile on you. Pity about that, though. We could have done with Spurs making a game of it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangle Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Yep, Sherwood spot on. Spurs are not yet good enough. Will he be given the chance to improve them? Going by the recent past, probably not. Get someone else in at huge expense and see if they can conquer the footballing world in 15 or so games. Ha ha ha. Crazy stuff.

Mangle Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Deserved victory for the Red and Whites. Fantastic goal. Great defending. Spurs good in possession, but could not break down a well organised defence. Arsenal did not look to get at Spurs too much today, perhaps due to the early goal. Should have been an Arsenal penalty, but there you go. Ref did well overall. Very pleased with the Arsenal performance. Good luck to Spurs when they go to Benfica in the week (on the back of 3 straight defeats - 2 of them at home), as well as their trip to Anfield 2 weeks today!!

Mangle Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 The margins between success and "failure" are very narrow. And I put "failure" in inverted commas as what really is failure in football? Speaking as an Arsenal supporter, looking back at the last few years, let's say, up until we last won a trophy, has that been a "failure"? I would say "no". Spurs are 5th in the PL (ok, Everton could overtake if winning game in hand), but the margins are so tight. Still in Europe, all be it just, and probably not for much longer. Not bad.... Remember, winning ANY trophy is extremely hard. Extremely. And the more "successful" you become, the harder it is as you find yourself with more fixtures. And harder fixtures at that! AVB should still be in charge. He was given the task to build a team. What does Levy expect, instant success? AVB had the best win ratio of any Spurs manager in the modern era. Not good enough. Sherwood does even better (not as many games) - will he be given time? Probably not. So, change the guard, again, expect instant success, it will not arrive, what then? Look at Arsenal, trying to keep hold of Wenger, a manager that has not won anything for years. And believe me, although the "press" would make you think Arsenal fans want rid of him every time we lose a few games, that is not the case. We know that he is doing a great job, and stability is key. As for "letting players go" or "why did he sell x and y", the players have a say in what they do. I am sure he did not get up one morning and think, I know, lets sell Henry, or Vierra, or Fabregas, or Van Persie, and so on, there is a lot more to it than that. A lot more. So, although Spurs lost again today, and it feels crap, but the main thing is, leave things alone, a manager has been appointed, he looks ok to me, so give him a chance. He has taken over a team, not built one, so give an opportunity for him to be successful. But I doubt it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangle Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Difficult to get my point across Rob. Obviously. Yes, in a "black and white" world, you are of course right. Finishing anything but first is failure. Can't argue with that. But if you read the full post, and took the principle of what I was saying, you may get to understand the point. In the context of what I was saying, perhaps in more simple terms for you to understand, and in relation to the goings on at Spurs, they keep failing, and so their solution is to change the manager. Does that result in success? No. So, even though they are failing, all the time, the best course of action is to steady the ship, in the hope that success will eventually return. United are a good example. Failure this season beyond wildest dreams, but have they sacked the manager? No, because they know it will not result in overnight success. I hope that helps.

Whether you have had 10 managers in 10 years or had the same manager for 17 years,if you aint winning trophies what is the subtle difference? Wenger aint won anything in 8 years now, how is he any better than moyes when he was in charge at everton? Kept them in the top 6, semi finals of fa cups, but no big cup wins.

The clubs get shot of the managers regularly because they are not giving the club the return they desire. Do you stick with a manager that returns a top 5 finish with no trophies or keep searching for the manager that will give you what you want?
