It's gotten so bad for Spurs that one of my colleague/friends who supports Chelsea even reached out to me in sympathy for my pain.

it's not for everyday for me, but it's perfect when the day calls for it.

but they had an org chart to create and a board to reform and concert tickets to sell!

it was a pretty open league besides Woolwich and City, but we hemmed and hawed with both Frank and in transfer market.

I don't think he'll make it. France's front line is absolutely stacked and he's been in and out even before this year.

Upon waking her up for school: "Dad, maybe it's not just the manager, it's all the other people. And because we keep losing, we just think deep down before anything happens that we are going to lose again and again."

Heitinga couldn't have been worse than this. Thanks for the parting gift Don Fabio.

Joe Hart seems a great guy.

10.03.2026 22:20 πŸ‘ 6 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

All the more reason to not let Tudor take it.

Someone that plays a back 4 would be a start. Someone who has some ability to rally the players. Who knows.

Needs to go tonight to give new guy time for Forest. Anfield isn't likely in best of situation so it's time to get rid of this nonsense.

10.03.2026 22:06 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yes. Leave them off until Forest.

Have to be off immediately. For once TNT announcers saying something sane about how poor the protocols are in football around head injuries.

He made the decision. Stand by it and support your player. Embarrassing. He should be left in Spain.

Managers have huge egos and someone will think they can save it.

It seems Spence is standing up for Kinsky etc

I'm confident that @dannybkelly.bsky.social would have fired Tudor at the same moment that the 3rd goal went.

Instead of watching a meaningless match, I get to offer 5 postgraduate students full scholarships to study at Edinburgh Uni.

Maybe these players all loved Daniel Levy? Has anyone thought about that?

I'd like to thank whoever organised the scholarship committee panel for Wednesday afternoon next week, which stopped me from foolishly buying a ticket to the second leg of this atrocity.

Another goal for Bayern means we aren't the worst tonight...but there's plenty of time!

They mustn't be allowed to talk themselves out of this mess with the Nepo owners.

Since Tudor was brought in we have conceded 13 goals in three and a half games
