what im saying is he arguably outperformed at the top level with tottenham. also not sure if management works in levels in the same way, especially looking at kompany's experience. think its all a bit more alchemical than that

why would i listen to an artist's album that is not their greatest hits

all i'm saying is that subsequent events suggest he wasnt as bad as results at tottenham would indicate and he might still have some solid top level management in him

no his cv has dominating a salary capped league twice, winning with an underdog in japan, winning a major international tournament with an underdog nation, dominating with celtic (fine not necessarily impressive), arguably overperforming at spurs and quickly crashing out at forest

i work in PR. i specialise in prepping men who have been evil on reality shows for their reunion episodes. we do drills on looking morose, saying "take accountability" and pledging to do the work. i earn $8 million a year.

i mean they were all at best somewhat promising before spurs. think its also implausible that spurs had three generationally awful managers in a row who have seemed somewhat promising to quite good elsewhere

not really on the manager if those signings turn out to be duds and/or perenially injured though. obviously tottenham as a club should be top 6

12.03.2026 07:58 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

but clearly the median expectation for a median manager with their post kane squad is not champions league spots, and possibly not even top half

in fairness to ange he actually got them 5th, and then 17th after he sacked off the league following an injury crisis. my thesis is he did as well as was feasible with the tottenham squad at the time more or less. with those extra signings its fair to say frank + tudor have somewhat underperformed

which is when they lost kane and son lost his legs and they were all replaced with teenagers

maybe thats all this team were ever capable of. at least he made it fun

one thing you have to say is Ange partially vindicated?

what can you say about spurs honestly

having a chuckle this Sunday morning at your boyfriend quoting this while humorously suggesting that he, or another similarly unlikely figure, has been selected as Iran's new supreme leader

many cities have cute little monikers (e.g. "the city that never sleeps") but there's very few with sayings (e.g. "all roads lead to rome"). happy to hear and adjudicate on other examples

today at lunch we established there's three sayings about rome, one saying about london and no sayings about any other city

the pop culture internet has suddenly decided that they all love opera and that it's actually a thriving art form to dunk on this extremely reasonable take

they used to put CD-ROMs in the cereal. kids nowadays would understand that. they'd want a micro sd card in the granola

i mean you can see the conditions are there for it to be crap but the only one i recognise is funny on instagram. even if its a bad show it could be good to have a way to less bbc radio 4 kinds of british comedy a profile

doesnt even have any of the usual suspects!

insisting on "warfighters" and "department of war" is a parody of Woke 1.0. like if biden had called service workers "person-centred skilled labour"

have come to deeply detest this arsenal team. hard to watch and deeply unlikeable people involved obviously, but i think the shameless rule bending is what winds me up the most

my pitch: a profitable investment where your capital is not at risk

it was in some very specific context that i cant remember but could plausibly have been this one. i wont be looking into it further

yes it is believe if you play advantage you cant bring it back for a yellow. ange used to complain about it

Can think of nothing more cowardly than pressing a button to shoot a missile that will land dozens or hundreds of miles away. Little bottle of water next to your desk. "Yes sir" and all that shit. Walking around saluting each other. Fucking losers. Killers.

there's one scene in this where a guy recites an entire monty python sketch at dinner and all his friends are loving it. cant get enough
