    Would Pochettino have the nous to actually set up
    for a counter-attacking game the moment tis
    obvious WBA are going all or nothing ??

    I don't know how Chris can do it I'd be a quivering wreck and doing my best Wayne's World "I'm not worthy" impression. As someone who grew up in the 70's I had the pleasure of watching him live a fair few times, if only we had someone like him now to lead the troops!

    Our 2nd greatest captain agrees with nearly
    everything we are objectively saying.

    I guess that means a Stevie P hatchet job incoming
    from Harry Hotspur ...

    I'd put Ron Burgess and Dave Mackay in front of Perryman, tbh.

    The only player I'd put alongside Perryman is Mabbutt, possibly Graham Roberts. In Prem years Ledley and Daws. Never saw Burgess or MacKay although obviously by reputation, top notch. Was Blanchflower ever captain? Seemed a leader of the side.

    Blanchflower would be way out in front of everyone. More of an on-pitch manager than captain.

    Chelsky have a 6 pointer game against the Poool.
    Spurs winning before against WBA will load the pressure
    even more onto Chelsky.

    In the event the Poool lose to Roma, then Chelsky will
    have even more incentive (pounce on any down and out
    feelings in their opponent) .

    Either way, Spurs have the opportunity to turn the screw
    on both of them before their game. So let's do that.


    NOTE :

    this weekend is exactly the type of game that far too often
    goes full Spursy (so I would appreciate the manager +
    squad at least getting the mindset and tactics right for this one) .

    Blanchflower was the club captain. He and John White were the creative force. Mackay was what you’d call a DM nowadays.

    Saw this on Spurs Community and had to share it....

    I got so bored during that game that I decided to do my match ratings in the style of Lionel Bart.

    Overall, there were far too many Mr Bumbles and nowhere near enough Artful Dodgers, but special mentions for:

    The Referee:

    "Oliver, Oliver, never before has a ref been so poor."

    Trippier:

    "Consider Yourself well in.
    Consider Yourself Man of the Ma-a-atch"

    Pochettino:

    "Do you have to pick Sissoko, do you?
    Ohhh, do you have to pick Sissoko, do you?"

    "And please, sir, can I have some Moura?"



    And a special guest appearance by Troy Deeney with 'Food, Glorious Food'.


    Overall, what would I do to not have to watch that again?

    "I'd do anything."


    He left out "Who will buy?" for Monsieur Sissoko but very funny.

    The Old Man's seen 'em all. He says Ronnie Burgess but he was 12 in 1951 and it tends to be the players of your youth that capture your heart. From 1969, when my first game was Stevie P's first game, nobody else comes close.

    It was a different game back then - a lot of ‘hard’ men around. But nobody messed with Dave Mackay, as Bremner found out to his cost.

    The poster's name is 'Nine While Nine' and his avatar looks like Gary Holton [Wayne from Auf Wiedersehen Pet and stand-in front man for The Damned]. If it's Audrey, then fair play to him. Great disguise.

    Far from our best performance but without sounding like a typical football dickhead with cliche's - the win was all that mattered.

    Kieran Trippier - YES, MY GUY KIERAN ****ING TRIPPIER - was immense, he really does love playing against Watford, said to my mate before the game he seems to relish playing against em and then once he got that assist my mate was on my shoulders <laugh>.

    I think Hugo played with a point to prove as well, no secret he's had a below-par season and a really poor past few weeks but he was immense last night with some crucial saves. Between him and Tripps for MOTM.

    Jan and Dave were both solid, the rest of the team didn't really show anything. Dembele dreadful, real shame to see such an excellent player fall to **** through injuries but I really do think he's done, I'd be more than happy for him to take a big payday in China and play in a league that isn't anywhere near as physically demanding as here.

    Watford played some good stuff at times but had zero clinical edge to them, thankfully for us.

    One more win and a draw and top four is cemented but I'd really like us to chase down Pool and get that third spot.

    If Mackay was around nowadays he would play for Madrid and be the first half a billion footballer. However, even the Spanish Government do not have enough money to sign a modern day Danny Blanchflower.

    "It ain't me, babe - no no no, it ain't me babe - it ain't me you're lookin for!"
    But it's quite a compliment that you thought it might be me!

    I forgot one thing from being at last night's game. After Sissoko's miss, there was a bloke up towards the back of the stand - Block 533 -who looked like a taller 'Expressions'. He was wetting himself laughing. It's been a long time since I've seen and heard someone laugh that loud. I wouldn't have been surprised if you could hear him on the TV.

    Best bit of the night, really.
