Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Where did I say that?

I'm taking the piss out of your absence of trophies, and admire your £1B stadium for NFL with no trophy cabinet in it....nor a cheese room.

 

Whatever Southgate is telling them is not working.

They're being loyal to him and doing as they're told but being hammered for it by us and the media.

Its a big call but I do agree they should do what they think is right.

Big characters need to step up.

Was hoping that would be Kane but he's been quite subdued.

 

I loved it yesterday when I got the old line, well I've been supporting them since the 50's, someone give that guy a medal

 

Anyway, I'm off, I'll catch up laters.

 

Lot's of people do pick their football team. I picked Spurs because I liked how they played football and like their ethos which even Levy has had to bow to. My parents met in Tottenham so that made my choice legitimate, as I am a South Londoner. Lots of new Chelsea fans or City fans now because of trophies. Huge numbers of United fans from the tragedy of Munich. Not all people are born into their football teams. My first team was Dulwich Hamlet and I noticed Germany playing in their colours.

 

That’ll be the 50s which they started off winning promotion and then the league.

 

Kane has taken a lot of stick but Wrighty has it right he has had no service. Kane never rushes about the pitch I think it was Sherwood who gave him his debut at Spurs and suggested he either walk of run but not the amble that he does Kane is a master of being in the right place like Greaves was all those years ago. Who also used to get stick for not running enough. Balls into the box have been few and far between from England but they score almost as soon as they do. It's not difficult Southgate just get balls into the box.

 

That'll be when Arthur Rowe started push and run football at Spurs and in effect invented modern football that the Dutch developed into 'Total Football' THEN they won the double.

 

Yes mate we’re all grateful for the incredible impact Spurs have had on the history of the sport. Nobody passed the ball until then.

 

That last bit isn't strictly true as Mainoo went forward and took on opponents every time he had the ball.

Gareth took him off! (That's probably why he took him off!)

Got lucky last night, nothing more, this was no tactical masterstroke.

But that's clearly already been well discussed this morning.

 

Apologies to Maino yes he did try to be positive.

 

You hate it don't you. How about Venables at QPR and the incredible job he did. That was a good time for your club.

 

Why would I hate it?

Yes it sounds like it was. We wouldn’t have played such good football if Spurs hadn’t re-invented the game 30 years earlier.

 

Who knows, but Venables for me was one of the greatest coaches of all time.

 

England don’t need an excuse, they’re still in the tournament. Are we supposed to admire Scotland for losing with style? Had enough of that heroic failure bollocks with England thanks very much, I’ll take wins however they come. Come to think of it, you should have had enough of heroic failure too, given Spurs record in all competitions. No one remembers the losers mate.

 

I remember when what seemed like the world and his wife used to berate Rooney for all of England's problems. We seem to have mellowed since then lol

 

England in 96…..had one good performance against Holland and then terrible football.

 

Big price for Belgium today. Lukaku to finally hit a cow’s arse with his banjo.

 

State of these odds.
