They could also have a new manager then ...

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino met Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu this week. The Spanish champions are seeking a new boss, with Luis Enrique leaving in the summer. (Daily Mirror)

 

As I like this one...I shall presume it is 110% true. I had almost forgotten, but remember when he was swearing loyalty and was pictured with his family at WHL.

 

Poch leaves for Barca and Koeman leaves for Spurs/Arsenal. Both teams realise they aren't as big as they think and we get to laugh at them! Everyone's a winner!

 

Saw that, but saw a further comment about how Poch met Sir Alex for lunch, when van Gaal was on his way out.
The upshot of that meeting was that Poch signed a new contract with Spurs, a few days later.
Is he playing the same game, or (despite being happy) is he testing the waters?

 

He's not going to Barcelona.

 

Spoilsport. Could have let us enjoy the thought a bit longer.

 

You still can. It's only Qwerts saying it. Where's his back-up.?

 

Yes, but it is the voice of reason. Life just couldn't be that sweet.

 

Crikey, are you that easily swayed.?

 

My finest bit of detective work when I tracked down and matched the tiles in that photo to the new work at Spuds!

 

Lallana expected to be out for a month due to a muscle injury which occurred playing for England.

 

Fran you're way behind me! (fantasy thread) I was trying to make up for my Ronaldo isn't playing joke on the prediction thread but I guess no-one would believe me!

 

I guess this goes here.

Top man.

Always good to have a player headlining for the right reasons.

 

Adam should be back for our game then. Good.

 

Well done Whatmore!

 

Good background for a future Saint.

 

Good lad. Yes, I thought so too. Reminded me of the time that Victor posed the question to Virgil. "On your way to training. you see a dog drowning in a river. Do you 1] continue to training because if you are late again the manager said he will fine you, or 2] jump in and save the dog?"

And Virgil said straight away, "I'll save the dog. I'll jump in"

I think it was notable that Victor said he would continue to training. That's a Spurs player's response, if I'm not mistaken.

No doubt they will get off with a slap wrist! But would it be a shame, if they got a ban!!
