    reminds me of whenever they attribute Pep n Poch’s football to Bielsa who seems to spend his time poop squatting on a bucket fighting a relegation battle

    I said when Rangnick took over that he'd have trouble implementing his system with those players.
    Pressing high up the pitch with Ronaldo, Cavani, Pogba and the like isn't going to work.
    He'll have to adapt and probably abandon that 4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 thing.

    I still think Man Utd played well yesterday, despite the outcome, they were more solid at the back, and it was some what unfortunate, Jones heading the ball into the centre of his own box, up until that point he had played extremely well.

    The problem for me was the reverse of other games, in that I blame the boys up front, I think Cavani had two good chances to score, and nowt was going right for Ronaldo either.

    There was a point in the game someone on the far side attempted to play the ball back, don't know who it was, but it got the look of disgust from the defence and rightly so, Maguire weren't playing and they wanted to do things properly.

    But I know fook all, so ignore this comment and chuck me on ignore, thanks guys. <ok>

    I woudn't say we played well, but it was nowhere near as diabolical as the Liverpool, Watford and City performances. We (Sancho) blew a cast iron opportunity to score early on and Fernandes and Cavani missed sitters, but Wolves still had way more chances than us.

    The formation is just all wrong.

    He needs to quickly go to a 4 3 3 and abandon the idea of this 4 4 2 as they players are bemused by it. And, for some mad reason, he's taken on the baton of Solskjaer's 2 defensive/holding midfielders every game, this has to ****ing stop. If he plays players in their actual postions, instead of chopping and changing and ****ing about, the performaces will come.

    Yup, don't disagree with any of that.

    Well it was good to see Jones getting praises in the media, ones I'd wholeheartedly agree with. I just find it somewhat amusing the responses from Spurs fans, they seem to be bed wetting over their 6th in the league, but in fairness, it's always better than a trophy in the last decade or three.

    Look on the postives I say, Cavani missing a sitter, is a one off, Kane don't even get sitters, he needs a satnav to even find where the goal is these days.

    It will all come good in the end, it always does.

    Yeah you get it <ok>

    It's why AFTV is so popular, because of the rage. Although they've branched out a bit now and do all sorts of coverage. But that early formula of interviewing fans straight after a game is ****ing gold for rival fans if we've just lost. Especially if we've been ****ed over too.

    But these numpties who set up a 'commentary box' in their bedroom and then make themselves look like ****s when their team gets dicked. They just deserve to get laughed at.

    Yeah I hate the whole culture behind it. I often question if these people are true fans too, I get many of the after game interviewers/ interviewees are ST holders but I dunno… something about ****ing yourself and your club off for money and views don’t sit right with me.

    A few years back on Twitter, some of the semi-viral Spurs fans mentioned they were gonna combine and set up an AFTV-esque show themselves but received huge backlash from Spurs fans and they deleted the Twitter page of their “Spurs Fan TV” account within about 2 days of opening it.

    Fair play to people like Robbie though I guess, regardless of what I think of his business, he’s ****ing raking it in now from multiple avenues.

    Yeah Robbie is a Don. And fair play he's a proper dyed in the wool fan who lives and breathes the club. He's also a decent interviewer as he knows when to just shut up and let people talk. He set that channel up to give fans a voice, and the interviews after the games were a good insight from a fan's perspective.

    But since then there's been loads of spin offs with people who just seem to want to spout off about their players, club, manager etc. ****s who set themselves up as experts, but are just regular ****ing joes with a big gob.

    it is bantz, I just couldn't understand all your crying over Man Utd, afterall when we put facts on the table, give me a list of the trophies Spurs have won in the last 30 years, then give me a list of Man Utd's silverware.

    Before you start that list though, the rules state you can't include 6th in the league as a trophy win. <ok>
