Listening to the worst opinions in football without having to hear about Newcastle or how bad Wayne Rooney is really hits different
Don’t forget the terrible ufc/boxing analogies.
How right you both are. Not to mention that little bridge troll Lawrence. My blood pressure has lowered significantly since it was allowed some reprieve from that sanctimonious twerp
Brian is 💀
Or Lawrence talking about what a expert he his
What's the story here? Why did the kickoff break apart?
Poch was the closest any manager at Spurs to winning a trophy, and what do the board do? Not do ANY transfer activity for 18 months. The reason the club is not successful is thanks to the board and owners.
Imagine sacking Mourinho before a final. Classic Spurs.
Jose Mourinho enters the chat
The board are bunch of gooners
As a Liverpool fan I completely get you on that ...lack of investment from a position of strength leads to being bypassed by your closest rivals
Rory is the king of horrendous takes. Says spurs incredibly underachieved when they made it to a champions league final when literally nobody would’ve even thought they’d make it past the round of 16. Like sure they didn’t win it but at least acknowledge the fact they made it there at all.
He views all clubs expectations via the Chelsea model. Clueless
well in fairness, they had a very good team from 2016-2019 and won nothing👍🏻
Nah he played Kane over a on fire Lucas Moura in a UCL final that Spurs could have won...
Sure, they overachieved that year. No one expected them to win the CL but overall, they underachieved. They had one of their best teams in their history in the last decade or so and didn't win anything. Worse teams have won trophies in that period. Not one FA cup, not even a league cup. Getting to a cup final and losing is not a sign of success. If they had maybe won a couple cups, been to a champions league final, that team would be looked at more favorably as time passes.
you cant overachieve if you achieve nothing
I love how they’re having a conversation and being respectful to one another. The later days of kickoff turned into a mixture of pettiness and personal attacks. Hope they can stay this way 🤝
Yeah I think it’s different now because they have all gone into this together as partners. It’s their thing so they only have each other to rely on so the respect for each other has already gone up.
Seems this way they are equals and share the "TV time" rather then arguing over pointless things and then all shutting up when certain people talk or afraid to answer back
@Wizard-Marshall Merlin and the kick off was getting less and less, would never have them together at once, used to do that every week but turned into on 2 at a time which got boring
@@wizzzardo Every time they started talking about Liverpool Lawrence got so defensive. I'm so glad I'll never have to hear him talk about Lebron James ever again.
The lack of respect for what Poch did seems to be based on how a lot of those players were viewed AFTER he'd coached & improved them and played em in a good system. Walker was nowhere near seen as best RB in the league before Poch, and then immediately got Trippier playing at elite levels. He had people calling Danny Rose a world class LB. He's the only manager who got performances out if Dele Alli. He had a midfield of Dier & Wanyama for years ffs
Well said,people have such short memories
What poch did? Not win anything?
How can you call out Wanyama like that? He was fantastic. He's much better than most defensive midfielders in the league now
@@quickie17 Football isn't black and white mate, there are many factors at play.
@@donegal7 sure but the most important one is that he didn't win anything
Buvey was my favourite thing about the kick off so I've subbed here instantly 🙌
Lmao so you have shite football opinions as well?
Is the kick off done? Don’t release much content now
@@finfog4590 It's not looking good brev for the Kick Off. 1 year time this show is gonna be massive
@@finfog4590 the kick off is scraping the bottom of the barrel with thogden and the bhavs melt. its long finished.
this show already has more live viewers than the kickoff ever did and without the submode begging for subs
Buvey: 'I'm not even trying to banter (insert club) fans...' proceeds to banter (insert club) fans
Love him or hate him, what Pochettino did at Tottenham was exceptional. Anyone who gets spurs to a champions league final is a great manager.
All luck. Shown with his time at PSG that he is a useless coach
3 consecutive top 3 finishes, something we haven't done in quite some time.
Injuries cost us enormously and we never replaced the injured players, wanyama and dembele were pivotal and wanyama was injured for most of his time at spurs and never fully recovered. Alderweireld was the same too. We got to a champions league final playing harry winks and moussa sissoko in midfield with harry kane, dele alli and christian eriksen all carrying injuries. If that doesn't tell you how much poch achieved, nothing will.
@@akshanshbharti2401
Yeah finishing in the top 3 of a 38-game league season consistently is luck
@Duval In The Wall mate u are literally talking about a season in which Leicester beat them to win the league. Pocchetino is an average coach who is hyped for no reason just because he bottled a league to Leicester. No wonder PSG sacked him and he is struggling to find a job
@@akshanshbharti2401 you can hold hands with Rory. Criticizes Pochetino for not winning a trophy with zero investment in 18 months, while his manager gets 600 mil in 6 months and sits 10th. Outstanding.
And the PSG argument is completely nullified. Ancelotti wins UCL, goes there, gets sacked, goes to Real and wins the UCL again. Emery wins a couple european trophys, goes there, gets sacked, goes to Villareal, continues to win. Tuchel goes there, gets sacked, wins the UCL. Is this not all too big of a coincidence?

Can't lie, these 3 are some of my favorite football personalities currently. Watched Adam for years as a united fan, but the introduction or Rory and Buvey is just more of people like Adam but support other sides. It's well balanced this and I wish you the best of success. The content you produce is phenomenal
I like these 3 aswell but Rory has some very strange outlooks sometimes

It’s the History of the Tottenham 🤌🏽🤌🏽
*recent history
@@joshuadawson5411 man has to go back to the dinosaur age 😭
Everything 😂😂😂
I find it odd that players all across the continent are praised for loyalty and sticking with their clubs to try and win a trophy there (Totti at Roma), but with Kane he gets destroyed and called a loser for not going to a club where it's easier to win a trophy. Those clubs contend without him. Would it not mean more to win something with Tottenham? It just feels weirdly hypocritical to me and I feel this criticism comes from a place of just wanting to see him play to his potential on a better team, no? Or maybe just because he scores against their favorite clubs? Once he retires, wherever that may be, I feel like people will praise his loyalty instead of calling him a loser during this era. Retrospect is going to do some work on this legacy once it's all said and done
I don't rate Pochettino, he's been massively overhyped for the top jobs when he's literally won 1 trophy in 15 years of management. But yeah, he's probably the best option for them right now.
Poch didn't want Ndombele. He performed miracles with the squad we had and the fact we didn't sign anyone for 18 months just shows how badly he was let down by Daniel Levy.
Sacking Mourinho to bring in Ryan Mason before the League Cup final sums it all up really.
To get Spurs competing, we basically need a good youth academy and an ownership that backs their manager.
Seriously how’s conte not been backed ?
@@tt11138 Because he needs a good GK, at least 2 but probably 3 decent/good CB's, a proper RWB. And if you would want to really back him bring some extra creativity in midfield/up front
@@thom9484 Lloris is a top keeper up until a few weeks ago and haven’t u just signed someone upfront lol
You've gone from "we won the transfer window" to Levy out 😂
You should build a statue of levy outside the ground, he's got you the best stadium in world football, somehow got you at the big six table when you've won nothing, and somehow weaseled you into the super league when it came about. Your 5th, where else should you be when you look at the teams above you.
@@tt11138 no he wasn’t, he’s been making those mistakes for years now but luckily for him in the previous seasons they didn’t always lead to goals. Now he has a mistake almost every game that leads to a goal. He’s always been very poor with his feet but had some great reflexes. We should’ve signed a new GK 3-4 years ago already.
Leicester players weren’t looked at as World class when they won the league, but neither were Spurs’ players you donut Rory. We signed Alli for 5 mil, Son’s first season and the likes of Rose, Walker and Dier were just breaking into the England set up
i like how people say how you bottled it and "tottenham should've won the league" they were never even top of the league in that season lol.
@@circle2867 this too 🤣, I’m pretty sure Arsenal were top at Christmas
That front line of DESK and backed by Dembele and Dier with one of the best 4 back in the league (maybe the best) at the time: Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, and Walker with a little bit of Trippier's magic crosses, as a spurs fan I was so excited to see this squad play every game, especially Eriksen and Dele Alli. Oh how time flies to see the horrendous state of our club.
As per usual Rory Jennings takes are horrid, Potch would be great to come back, he didn't have any funding because of the building of the stadium. Conte is a one formation boring manager who NEEDS the best of the best players in every position, we don't have the owners that want to support that so what is the point in getting a manager like Conte who doesn't care about the club. Potch cares a ton. Diego Simeone is just another Conte and Mourinho, I can't deal with the ultra defensive managers with our average CBs.
So glad we steered clear of Conte!
As a spurs fan I agree with everything expect the fact that kane is called a loser for not leaving sooner, he is loyal to Tottenham and wants to win a trophy with his favourite club.
Glad Buvey is putting respect on Wes Morgan’s name
The reason I watched the kick off was you lot. Great banter, hope you can bring an occasional 4th guest from one the other clubs to sometimes give some more input and banter. Fantastic stuff.
I feel like the problem with Spurs is ultimately that they've been given this moniker of a "top 6 club" by the media and so they're being expected to compete against Chelsea, City, Liverpool, United, Arsenal...when in reality as much as they've become a stable top 6 side they've never really competed against those sides on a consistent enough basis to warrant the expectation on them that they should win anything. Obviously a part of that is that the owners are very stingy, they don't back managers, there's no real system in place to keep things ticking along through managerial or transitional periods, but ultimately Spurs in every competition are at best the 5th pick in every domestic competition to win something. So if they are always around 5th, getting to the occasional final, regular in quarters and semi's then the problem with Spurs is this perception that they should be competing with the other top 5 more than they're doing anything crazy wrong or there's a "Spursy" curse there.
I mean they have elite level infrastructure tbf, so they should be there or there about, I think the future is good but there's no certainties in football.
Exactly. People thinking of them as being in the big 6 IS their success
Like Rory said, theres something fundamentally wrong with that team. They consistently change managers, they have a really decent team, and yet they cannot compete for anything.
@@karimzakaria9621 levy is a poor man's Abramovich
@@karimzakaria9621 That's my point though, they've had decent managers and decent teams but they've never been on that level to be favourites to win anything over those teams, so when they have to compete with those teams to win obviously the likely outcome is they lose. That's not a fundamental issue, that's the same as calling Everton bottlers for losing to United, the only difference is the gap between Spurs and the top 5 is smaller than the mid-table, but there's still a gap in quality there just through proxy of them having to compete with those top 5 for every single decent player where they essentially get the leftovers. So the fundamental problem isn't Spurs are basically doing as expected of themselves, its that football fans get an expectation they should be better because they're in this "big 6" where any of them could win something each year, which is just a media narrative. They'll obviously get into positions to win and could potentially win something on a good year but they've never been the team you back just from a quality perspective, same as "being spursy" is anything more than fan banter to cover the boring reality that they aren't the same level as the competition.
The full podcast also needs to be on video (TH-cam) IMO like the paddock ones. Not just clips
Was always wondering when this trio would pop up again. Great content!
Rory is a hypocrite. Praises Lampard for getting Chelsea into the top 4 during a transfer ban, but not Poch who got to a CL final and top 4 after going 3 windows without signing a single player.
Lampard did great though...
@@couturecriminal8330 he did reasonably well, but my point is you can’t praise Lampard but downplay Poch’s achievements at Spurs. It’s nonsense
Nearly 50k subs in a week. Hats of fellas, killing it already.
Appreciate the support brother! 🖤
Rory saying reaching a CL final isn't an achievement is absolutely ridiculous. If Club Brugge reaches the final this year it'll be an unbelievable achievement, that'll go down in history. Yeah, Tottenham are a bigger club with more money, so the achievement wouldn't be as great, but it is still the biggest game Tottenham has played in modern history. Mad take.
Liverpool were gassed in that final though and he benched his best player at the time Lucas Moura for Kane who was coming back from injury...
@@couturecriminal8330 spurs were fortunate to be there. Scraped out of the group on head to head, scraped past Man City in the quarter finals with VAR on their side in that 2nd leg and a miracles Vs Ajax
Waking up at night and seeing Conte holding a knife 😄
Spurs managed to come 3rd in a 2 horse race the year Leicester won. The word Spurs is interchangeable with bottler.
Arsenal we’re top in week 17 , 6 points ahead of spurs, who were never top and play 14 times after leceister
Woolwich bottled league that year. Woolwich was 1st in February and Leicester overtook them. Dont try to rewrite history. Same will happen this year again, Woolwich will again bottle league this year.
@@edenhazard2751 they are the form horse . Spurs is the three legged one a couple of furlongs behind .
As a Spurs fan let me tell you what is going on at the moment just for context. The main issue besides obviously Conte not committing is the mentality of the club. We are a big club who doesn't act like a big club. While other clubs are out spending 80-100mil on players we the supposedly 9th richest club in world football look at 30-40mil targets. While other clubs are spending to meet their ambitions every season we end up in the sake situation because we have an ownership who doesn't want to spend money. They are more focused on making a profit which is why we hold qualifying for the Champions League as such a big achievement. We have never acted like a big club despite being consistently one of the top 6 every season. Pochettino towards the end of his time cried out for reinforcements. The squad was becoming stale and needed fresh faces to go to the next level. After Poch spoke about this the club failed to sign anybody for 18 months. We make the UCL final. When most clubs push on from that we didn't invest enough and ultimately Poch gets sacked. Mourinho comes in. Complains about the lack of spending in the transfer market and is sacked a day before a cup final. Conte is at the club now a serial winner who has proven that with investment can win titles again the club doesn't give him enough money to spend. This is a constant loop and it's what is making our fans frustrated. We have players in the team who are still there from the poch era who simply aren't good enough for the EPL anymore. You have a manager who has ambitions of winning things and an ownership who isn't willing to reinvest but what's it done by building a young squad like pochettino but then sack him and hire the complete opposite in Conte. This is why we haven't won anything. We have to show ambition and not have a small club mentality. The fans have been putting up with this for so long now and we are now tired of it
My first season supporting spurs we finished 11th. Mid table club who have been punching way above their weight for past few years. We get hate because we are underrated and good yet failed to go all the way. Teams are scared of us winning anything because it will be the start of something new
No one is scared of spurs. We dont like you cos you try acting like a big club with zero trophies
No you are hated because spurs have won 1 league cup in 30 years, and they talk like they have history or pedigree, they haven't earnt the right to have a big head or chest but spurs fans talk like they do.
@@bluavenger2419 But we do have history mate. Whether you like it or not, whether its from the 'black and white age' or whatever fans mock us for, we have history... None of us are making out like we've been this big bad team over the last 20 years, but when people say, 'you have no trophies', its fundamentally incorrect. So we're not just gonna take shit which isn't even true are we. Also, just to correct you, it's 2 league cups in 30 years.
@@donegal7 you know what credit to you, you actually taught me something, I didn't know spurs won the carabao cup in 1999, that's actually amazing to know.
That being said your fans are loud for a team that hasn't done that much in terms of the other big 6.
Don't get me wrong as an Arsenal fan I respect and love the rivalry it makes for amazing games and great atmosphere.
But outside the rivalry spurs fans generally should be quiet and humble till they actually win major Silverware.
Even an FA cup will do.
@@bluavenger2419 With regards to the fans that are too loud, I couldn't agree more with you. I feel like we should be proud of how we played from that 2015-19 period, but ultimately, we didn't achieve anything, so we gotta put those days behind us.
I agree Lads. we simply need to re define our structure, and the first step of that is looking at the top. Levy and Enic. Brilliant chemistry with you lot as always
as a spurs fan, buvey's take is dead right imo. i'd take poch back in a heartbeat. he loved tottenham, and he felt like one of us in a way mourinho and conte (great though they are as managers) just haven't. there's so many problems in the club that are so frustrating as a fan (could rant about that for a long time), but to me bringing poch back wouldn't be going backwards; it's righting what was a really stupid decision to get rid of him in the first place
Going for Poch again isnt progression. Need to go for new hungry manager.
@@edenhazard2751 we've done that after poch, i don't think anyone can say mourinho and conte aren't hungry managers. it hasn't worked. the main problem with tottenham is the club not backing the managers properly. poch wasn't allowed to do the rebuild he wanted to do, he got booted, and it's been a mess since. if he's actually backed properly, he's the only man i can see leading us out of this mess. anyone else, backed or not backed, doesn't have a chance in hell (i hate to say it, but it's where we're at)
We will fall from traditional Top6 when Liverpool and Chelsea will come back.
Look at someone like de zerbi or Thomas Frank. De zerbi a gamble at the moment but what is to lose
@@scottkay5425 Poch time has gone, and he is remembered fondly amongst Spurs supporters. Spurs wouldnt want fondly remembered managers to lose goodwill if Poch doesnt delivers good performance/trophies.
Now Spurs should give new managers chance to see what new and better things they give.
Pochettino was an absolute godsend to Spurs, how Rory cannot see Poch overachieved is him just being ridiculously dense
absolutely loving this new channel, love a good, argumentative episode of the beloved sport of Football. Rory is just class inhe
Bro Buvey can’t stop making me laugh he’ll actually kill me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Main problem is Levy, Conte is a winner he could win the Premier League again but he's the problem City, Liverpool, Newcastle, United, Brighton, Arsenal are all improving. Levy could spend money but he spends money wrongly. If Conte leaves everyone needs to be sold at the club expect Richarlison, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Bissouma, Udogie & Romero. We need new owners & get Luis Enrique to rebuild with attacking football.
I’m convinced Adam’s ex cheated on him with an Arsenal fan
Amazing content lads!
The problem with Tottenham is... it's Spurs.
3rd. 2nd, 3rd, 4th finishes in the league.
spend 0 in the 2018 summer window and still made it to the champions league final!
the disrespect for Pochettino is crazy.
Would love to see some guests like Hughwizzy on the channel!

James lawrence allcott needs to be here. His podcast and football insight is amazing and he has banter to go with jt
Adam - What do you think spurs need to be?
Rory - Spurs need to win a trophy 🏆 😂
i love this stuff man!!!! goated content already
Poch has been the best Spurs manager in the past 30 years, and that's because I haven't done research long past I was born, haha. He took us from struggling to break the top four and having absolutely no chance to beat top teams to where we are now. We still feel the influence of his tenure. I was heartbroken when he left. Our UCL run with him is one of the biggest overachievements in the history of European football.
you made the point that Spurs recycle managers often-- well Poch lasted the longest under the same ownership for a reason. He was screwed by Levy refusing to provide the money to deepen the squad the summer before he was sacked. We will all rejoice when he returns
Buvey at 20:50 goin on about Kane lmaooo
That 2015-2018 spurs squad was ridiculous and under poch was very unlucky to not win anything
As is the case with certain teams, the problems start from the top.
Wes Morgan gets into this Arsenal defense LMAO
Come on, Rory. Just stop talking about Spurs. If you can’t put your bias at the door for a 10 minute conversation then just stop. You’re better than this
bale won a trophy with spurs
You all actually produce better and more informed content than mainstream pundits.
Mainstream tend to be clueless dinosaur or ex players who are bogstandard so thata not too hard. Eitherway these lads are great together. I hope they get some guests on occasionally tho.
At least Rory's bad points are still around? Saying that getting to a champions league final isn't an achievement.... come on.
Not gonna lie, as a united fan, I have a hard time determining whether Adam is the united version of Buvey. Some of the things he said left me thinking "That might have been an outrageous claim, but essentially I agree"
The point is Wembley has the biggest pitch size in the land. It can sap your strength. Spurs were use to a small pitch and a compact stadium at the old white hart lane. It took awhile to adjust to a big cavernous half empty stadium, even with 60 thousand fans regularly attending.
The adjective "Spursy", and its derived noun "Spursiness", denotes a certain fragility in the team that consistently fail to live up to expectations and crumble within sight of victory.
The problem with Tottenham in 21 minutes, you can't be serious LOL
Breath of fresh air just guys having a good time without one person trying to dominate the conversation and nonstop pointless reference of Newcastle!🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Glad I can finally watch you guys again. Brilliant breakaway n rebrand lads
Bloody hell Rory, you need to remove that 'Roman I love you' branded didlo from your arse! Yes Poch failed at the final hurdle but considering the finances and conditions he mad a good team, not great ultimately due to lack of trophies but made Spurs a top 6 team competing at the top. Levy runs the club as business first, football club second and refuses to invest purely in the team that could bring trophies.
As an Arsenal fan I’m obviously shocked and surprised at the level that we are performing at and, on paper,we don’t have the best 11 players in the league by any means. However, what that Leicester group of players achieved is something we will never ever see paralleled. Ever. To say that this Arsenal team is worse than that Leicester group is outrageous. The most overachieving team we will probably ever see. Even if arsenal go on and storm the league, which with City in rivalry is almost improbable anyway, it’s no doubt an achievement but much less an achievement than Leicester’s title.
I don't know what 5 stars or Spotify is but I've liked the video.. BIG UP lads.
Personally think this is better than the kick off because you can actually understand what people are saying (because everyone’s not shouting at each other)…👀
The only problem with Tottenham is that it’s Tottenham
How is reaching a champions league final not an achievement Rory ?
Wish they had the whole podcast in video form.
you need to extend that table alittle for room for couple of guests
buvey is saying the manager kept them up with no home stadium advantage. it's all well and good having a stadium but no good if it doesn't feel like home.
it's like playing away every home game but with fans... Buvey makes a good point. if chelsea had to play at millwall the fans wouldn't be the same cause it feels weird as fuck. i work in stadiums as security as you can tell the difference when a team moves to a new ground.
Pochettino did an amazing job at Spurs, end of.
I’m not sure why they were acting like Buvey was being crazy? It was a valid point.
5 stars contents, great chemicals here
Huey, Dewey and Louie spend 20mins hating on Tottenham. Anyone who's seen these 3 on other platforms instantly knew what to expect. However, I respect their consistency
This city fan is a fool to think that the foxes were a overall better team than this current arsenal team all they did were counter attacking football in my memory
I agree about Wembley. Half empty stadium and no home ground. I’ve been there with Spurs and it was terrible
Buvey's man United dig killed ne😭🤣
Harry Kane to Man Utd makes so much sense in terms of how he would fit the playing style, and the price (I can’t imagine he’d be expensive given the fact that he’ll only have 1 year left on his contract this summer). So since it makes so much sense, I don’t think it will happen…
it doesn't make sense. you just bought wout weghorst. plus, you have martial. that's two strikers.
@@richierichie1332 Weghorst is on loan he’s only at the club until June, and Martial is nowhere near the caliber of striker that Harry Kane is. Plus Martial is extremely injury prone, he’s a bench option at best.
Rory said Conte's unpredictability. Playing the same back 3 every game soaking up pressure. Does he even know other back 3 formations?! Forget about a flat 4
Bring it on youtube man
Good point about Wembley. We were unbeaten at home the season before. Then we couldn't win anything at Wembley for the first half of the season. Struggled. Yet poch still somehow finished 4th
Rory always full of gas... Tottenham and Liverpool were over achieving while pochetino was there... Rory is being willingly ignorant because that spell included to 10th placed finishes by Tottenham... both conte and mourinho ruined their career at Chelsea, while Pochetino made average players play above their best and reach a champions league final... he hard focuses on trophies just because that one off match is the only good part he can pluck from 24 months of pure embarrassment at Chelsea... while Mourinho is fighting with Terry over an affair with fitness coaches. Ali is leaving league 1 to tear up Chelseas back four... he has personal bias against pochetino out of sheer fear to look in the mirror... we all remember the facts Rory. Stop flip flopping for once in your life
That season when Leicester won the league, they finished above everyone.
Happy the kick off didn’t full stop, 3/5’s of it still going.
Tottenham have gone thru a purple patch where they played Champions League for a few years, and now are convinced they've always been a Champions League level team.
They have over performed, had they actually won a few cup compétitions along the way, people would take them seriously. People remember winners, not "over performing teams" (looking at Newcastle from the mid 90s)!
Rory is so all over the place and his expectations are fuck by Chelsea's behaviour, hopefully they go on a nice long trophy drought and most of these signings flop and they make huge losses
Rory... Tottenham are clearly jealous of Chelsea below them in the table
The problem with Tottenham is that they think they are a big club. The trophy cabinet is biting the dust but the clubs delusion keeps going on.
Look at that face, stopped a runaway train with a slab of granite❤
Rory is correct. I have never heard anyone get so much credit for winning nothing. If he is so amazing why was he sacked by both Spurs and PSG, why have no big clubs come in for him? He was lucky to have Kane and Son, Lloris Alderweireld and Vertonghen in their best moments and he still won f all
Can we get The Club poker nights in the future?
Upload Arsenal v Man U so we can laugh at Adam
Good Strikers often don't play for top teams. I don't know why. Shearer, Linnekar, Totti, Maradona. It's almost like their makeup is they want to be a big fish in any size pond
Disagree with Rory's points about Poch
IMO, Mauricio Pochettino is one of the best unemployed managers around
He made Tottenham look lethal and for Tottenham to get into *any* final is a major achievement because they are not known for winning since their last cup (2007-2008 season)
Plus no one expects Tottenham to challenge for the league so to mention the Leicester win is a dead point (and the points accrued) because a majority of the so called top teams underperformed that year and Tottenham were just excited to be in the mix lol (Arsenal should have won that year)
They even got TGs main tech man💯🔥
The actual problem with Spurs, as a Spurs fan, is that the club is building itself up -- slowly, and the right way. Increasing its revenue streams legitimately, building a stadium for the future (requiring serious financing), developing a first-rate training facility, building the team up season by season. Nobody said it would be easy, especially when at least 2 clubs above us are financially doping on oil money, and now a 3rd with Newcastle. Say what you like,. But Spurs is run in a legitimate way, consistently one of the most well run clubs in Europe financially, and that's how it has to be for now. The sport side has failed, whilst the entity that is Tottenham has been massively buttressed and put into a stable position for the future. Not everyone can have a sugar daddy come in and transform a club overnight, and not everyone wants that.......
I disagree with Rory on Poch but it's ironic to hear the other 2 praising Poch for doing much with small resources while they trash Klopp whose net spend is lower than Tottenham's since he joined LFC
This is where Rory does not get it. Poch coached those players beyond the some of their parts. He made players who would otherwise have been forgotten amongst the non-superstars of the Premier league, stand up and be counted.
He was not backed. Again, I say, he was not backed. You put that manager in a squad with quality players, and an organization that will back him financially, you’ve got a recipe for some really good things to happen.
It doesn’t matter how it ended. There’s no way anyone can say that Tottenham didn’t drop the ball when they decided not to back, and then sack, Mauricio Pochettino…. and that’s from an Aston Villa fan.
