As always with these for me, the biggest crime isn't doing it, it's being so stupid that as a public figure you'd get away with it. E.g., David Clark

Well he's killed his career. There were 309 warnings given out by the police. Surely not everyone there is a public figure?

Not a spurs fan but have always enjoyed how Ange’s teams play. Hope he gets it.

Looks like Ange is in.

I predict a solid 6 months with improvements but some glaring gaps. He's not backed in Jan, maybe Kane even leaves for some cash before his contract goes down, before 6 more months of abysmal results and a end of year sacking.

Loving Big Ange, great vibes, just seems like a bloody good bloke... no theatrics like the Spanish Twit at Woolwich, just a guy you'd want to have a beer with.

No wonder you lot are perennial losers who are always in our shadow. Can't even enjoy a nice manager without comparing him to our own.

Fudgeing losers the lot of you.

As a gooner I was gutted Ange went to Spurs, I really like the guy and want to see him do well, but its tough to maintain that when he's managing your rival!
Really likeable guy, very talented, gets his teams playing great football. It seems a good fit and he's doing well, so I am very happy for him.
Perhaps the best outcome from a gooner perspective is an enormous injury crisis that derails the season, but doesn't reflect badly on Ange, LOL!

1 point in 5 games. At least Ange has great vibes though.

lol. Son seems like a nice guy, but when he starts covering his mouth when he’s talking to the ref as a captain you know he’s reminding him that he’s done army training. 

Jared Gillet bringing the same inconsistency to cards he brought in the A league to the North London Derby.

Gillet lost control when he was carding Saliba in a frenzy and at the same time telling all the players to calm down. He was bizarre.

I thought the mouth covering was a covid safe thing so as to avoid spitting all over the ref's face. It's something I often see players doing when talking in close proximity too. Maybe I was being naive...

nah its always happened, well before covid, its totally about having deniability when you swear at the ref. If you cant see my lips you cant see what im saying!

I mean in defense of the long suffering Nix fans, we’ve never had one of the greatest managers of all time, spent a couple of decades at the top of the Premier League, won a Champions League and even when they’re not great still win FA Cups and League Cups. 

And the bloke who did win was the best manager of one of Leggy’s second clubs in the brilliant Roarcelona era. 

I don’t think Auckland FC showing up with the big stack, beating everyone and going ‘Now congratulate us and tell us we’re good.’ is a particular way to show class. It’s a Nix forum speaking to Nix fans. They’re allowed to be salty and devastated. It’s not on a tifo or anything. 

I mean Arzani looks like a clown saying what he did, but he was on TV on mic to everyone, not complaining to his mates. 

United are doing crap, but were just in a European final and would’ve won 3 trophies in 3 years if they’d triumphed at their lowest point in the Premier League era. Have to suffer with two trophies in 3 seasons.

The Nix have had one pre-season cup final attendance and crickets. They’ve come second and third once a piece and fourth three times, with one semifinal appearance. 

You’d think the Arsenal fans would be able to understand the more salty fans feelings- despite being very good in recent years, they’re not holding anything. Getting a second place or semifinal isn’t a final or a trophy. 

Gallantry is easier the larger your treasury and trophy rooms are…

Chris Wood will unlikely be in the champions league next season. 

True, and a bunch of results have to go their way even if they win at home, but unlikely doesn't mean impossible: looking at the Forest/Chelsea, Villa, NUFC and City games, I work it out as 54/81 possible outcomes see them 7th, 3/81 see them 6th, and 24/81 (30%) see them 5th or higher.

Edit: That's not taking GD into account, but it gives a rough idea.

On the other hand it was unlikely Victoria was going to host a Grand Final until a few minutes ago.

Guess that third season he was on about is cancelled.

Probably shouldn’t finish 17th and lose 22 league games if you want to keep your job, mate.

If he'd finished 6th with no trophy, he'd still be in a job. Very odd club.

I would laugh out loud if they got relegated next season. Winning that trophy showed when he got it right, it worked.  But Spurs go through more managers than Man United, Chelsea & QPR combined. Expecting each one to win the title in their first season. There are no long term plans in the picture.
