Topic: Spurs: fucking useless

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Am I the only one grossed out by these arm tatoos on their new signing (Hojbjerg)? Don't know why SSN keeps zooming in on the barbed wire and blood stains on his arms. I don't mind a nice tattoo... This one is revolting.

You should write a strongly worded letter to Whom It May Concern

Surely the cheese room would have been cheaper

The Amazon documentary is out on August 31.

That’s one to avoid.

The best documentaries are either those that are independently made like the Sunderland ones. This will be a glorified puff piece in which they constantly refer to Mourinho as “The Special One” and big up Sir Harry Kane

Or alternatively they are at least about a defining season. This is just Spurs being mediocre, hiring a new manager, going into lockdown and then being mediocre again.

Is there a more irrelevant pairing than Spurs and Mourinho? I’m struggling to think of another...

Will have a great happy-ending conclusion though as they wildly celebrate drawing their way into the Europa League qualifiers.

I doubt it.

I've watched the All or Nothing series on the NFL teams, since they began. One year thaey showed the Rams in a car crash of a season. There were no punches pulled.

However I do wonder what sort of access we'll get. The first year - A season with the Arizona Cardinals, it felt really close and intimate with a bunch of the players and staff. Every year since it has felt further and further removed. The most recent one, featuring the Philadelphia Eagles, seemed to be mostly from the POV of a local radio sportstalk show. It was really underwhelming.

The NFL ones can be pretty revealing, between this and Hard Knocks there’s some brilliant content available.

I think the problem is that most fan’s only directly comparable exposure is to the Man City All or Nothing. That was a pathetic puff piece propaganda that made Pep out to be something far beyond that which he is and basically made Man City look like the victors against insurmountable odds.

As that’s the only football version of the show, I’m inclined to agree it’ll be more arse-kiss and less holding a mirror up to mismanagement.

[Lone Star Red]

Thought the Man City one was fascinating. Hard to not be a “puff piece” when that City side broke league records left and right. Will definitely watch the Spurs one, very interested to see the portion when Pochettino got the sack and Mourinho was brought in.

Behind the scenes stuff is much more common in American sports and there’s always been a wall with the premier league and access, so it’s cool to see stuff you never normally do.

[Garrus]

The City one was definitely boring although I suppose that apart from the league game at Anfield and then the 2 CL games, they were just swatting away everyone. This one will definitely have some interesting moments: the CL hangover, the poor start, the thumping by Bayern, managerial change etc.

I've watched the first 3 NFL ones and they're varying degrees of good although I suppose like LSR says this kind of thing is far more common in American sport.

[Barefoot Doctor]

Can't wait for the documentary. So much good stuff to cover - conceding seven goals at home to Bayern, going out the League Cup to Colchester, out the FA Cup to Norwich, Poch's sacking, Mourinho's hiring, coronavirus. Despite all that they'll end it on a positive note with the sixth-placed finish!

'All or Nothing!'

Don't need the first 2 words there do they?

[Ab125]

As part of an effort to “make them proud”, Levy allowed the club’s stadium’s air-conditioned basement car park to be used as a vast food hub – set up by Haringey council and run by volunteers, who delivered supplies to vulnerable people.

According to Private Eye, however, that generosity came at a price. A freedom of information request found that Haringey council had been charged by Spurs for using the stadium as a food hub.

“These costs were Ł1,680 per week for additional security and Ł880 per week for additional cleaning,” the council said.

At a rate of Ł2,560 per week, the club charged it a total of Ł33,280 – around the amount that Harry Kane earns in one day.


Absolute scum.

They're havin a giraffe, surely? Really sticking their necks out!

Or maybe the rest of the PL should be worried, they're going for the throat. This could be like signing of Gullet!

A bit of a step down for him from being Burnley's 3rd choice goalie.

Gary Doherty's welcome video has him deleting a tweet in 2013 when he wrote "I will love Arsenal forever and ever and ever "

Also, saw a couple of episodes of the Spurs amazon comedy, absolutely brilliant, not quite Sunderland till I die, but hilarious still.

That Doherty clip was funny i thought,a good move too to partially pre-empt the shit he was going to get for that.

Only 3 episodes released. Disappointing that. Looks like they're going to release another 3 on the 7th and the final 3 on the 14th.

I was astounded by the absolute joy expressed by Spurs fans at the signing of Matt Doherty. A 28-yr old RB signed from Wolves who I assume will be an upgrade on Aurier but that much happiness at his signing?

I wonder what Spurs fans aspirations are for the coming season. Should be hoping for a top 4 finish, although they are further away than most clubs to getting it. Dare I say, Wolves probably have a better chance.

@tariqpanja
Matt Doherty transfer to Spurs is perhaps the most Jorge Mendes influenced signing I can think of. He’s an advisor to Wolves owners, who also have a stake in his business; he’s agent to Wolves coach Nuno; to Spurs coach Mourinho; he’s also Doherty’s agent. Clean sweep?

[The North Bank]

if you wonder why spurs never win anything, watch Harry Kane's pre match motivational speeches. He couldve been in the Sparta 300.

What happened to Levy's negotiating skills? The man seems to have lost the original blueprint with the hiring of Mourinho.

[Hedley Lamarr]

The whole Mended thing stinks to high heaven, Doherty is a good player, a big upgrade on Aurier.

Constantly one of the best right sided players in the league for the last two years. He excelled as right wing back with the freedom to bomb forward, wonder how he will fare in a back four.

In the preview of the next episode , Jose is saying "the fa cup is very special"....cant wait to see how that turned out, hopefully no spoilers.

It’s from the show but that seems a bit staged. Priceless nonetheless

I've got it on in the background at 2x speed - it is mildly entertaining.

Harry Kanes inspirational speech is amazing though.

Doherty's huge in the fantasy football world, which most football fans judge players by these days.

Jesus that amazon thing is cringe.. Kinell what an absolute joke.. Lovely training complex and stadium, but mourinho is absolute poison.
