Gardening & Techno gives me peace. Spurs give me grey hair. Ontario zone 6B.
Dyslexic with a swipe keyboard - words will come out wrong sometimes. No DMs.
There are five stages of grief. I think I am not at stage 4.

Last week I was angry. Now I feel numb and depressed about Spurs under Frank.

I see triple captaining Haaland worked out well for me. FFS.

Why do I even bother playing #FPL?

Happy Thanksgiving to our US American friends - and anyone else celebrating today.

As we approach the time of the year where some people like to make bad takes that Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.I'd like to remind people, not everyone experiences a merry Christmas, some have to put up with unwanted house guests with unpleasant views.

Die Hard is an allegory for that scenario.

Perhaps we need to redefine what taking a risk actually means?

Smashing the ball long to a CF who isn't good at hold up play is a risk. It's a big risk. And it has very little reward. Generally speaking, we lose the ball.

Perhaps take risks that have a potential payoff?

Misread this as 'two miles of ice cream', which would have been very, ahem, cool.

But science is also cool.
Two miles of ice core on the shelf at our national ice core facility in Lakewood, Colorado. The WAIS Divide core from West Antarctica is a 3400m long (deepest US core, 2nd deepest ice core ever) 68,000 year old record of high resolution climate.

49/50 Jamie XX - I don't know (UK, 2020)

One of those tunes I can't quite wrap my head around. Different drum patterns come flying at you. It's chaotic and amazing in equal measures.

Here are my Tottenham talking points after that colossal stinker of a derby defeat, including Thomas Frank's tactics, why his set piece coach got so upset at one point, a club that has to constantly apologise and a fanbase that is low on patience. football.london/tottenham-ho...

1) I think one of the most important things a manager can do is get their players playing with a bit of irrational arrogance, an expectation that they are even better than they are. …

If (more likely when) we get slapped about by PSG on Wednesday, the atmosphere on Saturday at WHL is going to be so toxic.

If we turn in another poor home performance, especially against a relegation contender, well..

Is Fulham at home a "must-win" game for Frank?
November 24, 2025 at 3:00 AM
The important thing is, I have learned my lesson, I won't be chopping wood with a big sharp axe after watching that Spurs performance.

Aggressive leaf raking instead.

A humiliating defeat was 100% on Frank - & it was coming. The players were trying to follow Frank's tactical plan. We have seen this shitty style of football all season, results papering over poor performances.

Chelsea and Man Utd games were warning signs, not heeded. Now this total embarrassment.
November 23, 2025 at 6:40 PM
We conceded 4 yet Vicario was probably our best player.

We were so fucking bad today.
November 23, 2025 at 6:26 PM
I did not, in fact, get my wish.

Absolutely embarrassing performance.
When it comes to the NLD, I am a simple man, with a simple ask:

Just show up. Whatever the result, at least turn in a performance we can be proud of.
Someone make sure Frank and the players see this
November 23, 2025 at 6:20 PM
Just putting it out there...

If any player snubs Frank, heads straight down the tunnel, I honestly could not give a shit. In fact I would fully understand / support their decision to do so.
November 23, 2025 at 6:14 PM
In the last 10 minutes we have started to play anti-Frank ball, actually passing it, breaking the lines and we have looked better and created more.

Suddenly Arsenal don't look quite so good.
Oh, look, we just played a bit of front foot football and we scored.

I predicted that this would be unwatchable stop-start football - it was very obvious - but even then this is beyond what I expected.
