Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Ludogorets Razgrad

[Diego]

Probably. New pitches tend to need replacing a few times early on before they settle down, IIRC.

Surely once it's replaced it becomes a new pitch again?

 

[SpursDisciple]

I decided that, too. Right after he said it in the post-match interview!

That was my first clue

Dickhead. Should have claimed it as per Ronaldinho.

Not entirely. You think that hill at Old Trafford is all new turf?

Probably afraid Jose would demote him to the
U23s for not attempting to pass to Bale.

Indeed, so the new replacement will be a new pitch, and will need replacing to allow another new pitch until the new pitch is settled

Dele, Vini and Tanguy all getting plaudits and rightly so but I think Tanganga went massively under the radar. First game back in a while and I don’t think he put a foot wrong. Good to have him back too, especially with Toby’s injury.

New plastic(s) .

No mate, it's soil. OT used to be flat but had terrible drainage problems because the sub-soil was mostly clay.

Why do you think new grass will settle any better than the last new grass in your 2 foot deep tray?

If we beat LASK and Antwerp beat Ludogorets, then we'll need to win the final match against the Belgians to win the group.
You'd assume that Mourinho would put out a reserve side again for that one, but it should give them extra motivation.
The first game against them was a disaster and it would be good to put that right.

“What’s it like when you come into a new club and it takes you a few weeks to score your first goal?”

Crouchy: “Why you asking me for?!”

Because the people that built our stadium know more about it then you do.

Fair enough mate, just be patient and give those new pitches time to settle, one of them will come good

We'll just have to settle for battering you on yours in the meantime, then hearing months of bitterness afterwards.

NOBODY knows more than Diego about anything.

Hmmm, I'm a little more cynical. There are many experts in their fields who have been proven wrong about their expertise (https://fightthenewdrug.org/15-things-experts-got-proved-wrong/)

I'm just not convinced about the viability of a pitch on the rolling trays.

Is Dele really getting the plaudits? He did some nice passes but he lost possession far too many times for my liking.
