I did see someone the other week saying we should have sacked Howe the moment Nuno became available.

Though I was just about old enough to drink legally!

I’m pretty sure I must have been on that same coach.

Every other team in the league had a perfect pre-season with no disruption or injuries whatsoever. Just look at those lucky people at Crystal Palace, for example…

It’s like teams expecting the ball to be put out whenever a player goes down, isn’t it? There’s always an incentive to abuse it just to break up the game. You play to the whistle and that’s it.

Thought so too. None of them moved to either get back in position or make sure we couldn’t take the kick, imagining the ref would just hold things up while they slowly got ready for the restart and took some pace out of the game.

I was absolutely sure we were getting Man City away. We’re due some (on paper) easier draws after the last few years.

I meant it in the “Neither of us are going to impose a cut-off point on major trophy wins being counted” sense. There was self-deprecation to go with the “You’re Spurs” line. If we couldn’t laugh at ourselves, we’d have to go and support Arsenal.

You’ve won more than three European titles, by the way. Though not the big one, obviously - we’re equal there!

“Has literally won their only credible trophy”. It’s not hard to read and understand, Matt.

Michael Hudson @michaelhudson76.bsky.social · 5d

Except the four league titles and six FA Cups, of course. I know they were a long time ago, but….lads, you’re Spurs.

It’s the anniversary of this outrageous skill from David Ginola in 1996.

Magnifique, old son. Magnifique.

Just found it. ‘Think Before You Tweet’ documentary from 2020 done by Steve Wraith. It’s on YT. I only watched a little bit but it’s the first time I’d seen him in person. Came across quite well; went straight back to how he was.

Line not mine, of course.

With the full democracy manifest mine while talking to the cameras and not allowing himself to be bundled silently away. Didn’t he once do a video where he and someone else who’d trolled people online met up, said how much they’d regretted it, then went back to doing the same again?

That looks absolutely horrendous.

Michael Hudson @michaelhudson76.bsky.social · 7d

Especially as they’re not interacting with anyone. There must be something that just replicates most posts for you.

If I’d known you’d be passing, I would have asked you to float out a couple of stotties

Haven’t been to Madeira yet but La Palma is lovely.

While still swearing blind they only ever hit military targets. “How do we know this wasn’t a Ukrainian air defence missile?”

Who was it who said Farage looks like a frog trapped in a ballsack? It really is uncanny.

I can’t understand why that doesn’t get sung a lot more.

Longstaff was just never the player some expected him to be (injuries, loss of confidence, Bruce). And, of course, a local lad. I wondered when it would start with Miley too. If Jackie Milburn played today, they’d be slating him for not scoring enough with his head.

I muted one person on here for continually slagging off PoTD because he thinks they’re far too positive about the club. Who wants to listen to constant misery?
