Man Utd weren't. Madrid had to pay colossal money to get CR7. And not for easy CL glory either (he had to wait 5 years) .
The butthurt being laid bare over Spurs is nothing like I have ever seen, or likely to see again in my lifetime. Look at, and face the facts, people. We have one of the best managers in the world. He has openly stated that he wants to end his career at Spurs. He’s 45 ffs! We have the greatest striker in the world. He has openly stated that he wants to be a Spurs legend. We are about to take occupation of the best football stadium in the world. We have one of the best youth academies in the world. We are going places. Or, put it this way - we are going to be there or thereabouts for the foreseeable future. Get used to it.
Looks like Ole is ITK. "Manchester United interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the speculation around Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino "is there for a reason". The pair head the betting to take over as United's next full-time manager, with Pochettino still rated the more likely to replace Jose Mourinho. Solskjaer is in temporary charge and has won his first five United games. "It's not my job to rate different managers but he has done a very good job," said Solskjaer. "The speculation is there for a reason." The pair go head-to-head at Wembley on Sunday, with United looking to avenge a 3-0 home defeat by Spurs in August."
I actually agree with most of that. I just think Man City tick all the same boxes but have also been those places and are more likely to go there again. Man Utd have incredible spending power and a great academy, Liverpool look awesome and Chelsea and Arsenal can't be discounted (well maybe Arsenal a bit, no offence but they seem like the 6th most likely of the lot to be equipped going forward, their new ownership may fix that though). It seems very likely Tottenham will win something soon and then it's a question of whether it spurs them on (pun intended). It'd be good to see some new winners.
gotta make it count, seeing as we are likely to be going out of another cup. League One side Sunderland will host Manchester City Under-21s in the last eight of the Checkatrade Trophy. City are the only invited club left in the competition, while Sunderland beat Newcastle Under-21s in the last round.
Couple of CMs, mate. Got **** all depth beyond Sissoko and Dier. Winks is basic, Dembele and Wanyama are finished while our youngster Skipp can’t be expected to perform miracles at the moment. Other areas could do with a bit of tweaking but that’s the main problem area for us and has been for about 18 months now.
... already have ... unfortunately more Newcastle under Keegan than Manchester under SAF ... some fine individual players - some great, exciting, attacking football ... but won **** all and flaked when the pressure was on ... lots of similarities ...
Young, mainly homegrown squad. Bright young manager with a massive future ahead of him. The correlations are too glaring to ignore, Pix.
In Spurs’ last game only two of the starting XI came through the ranks. One of them will be dropped as soon as another purchased midfielder is fit. You know absolutely **** all about the club you claim to support.
... apart from one had a trophy room full of trophies ... and one is building a cheese room (behind schedule)
Given he recently posted that Dele Alli is “one of our own” it’s fair to say that he hasn’t got a ****ing clue.
