There is a lot of debate about the media at present and many consider their activities to be nefarious, yet who could have foreseen that the media would stoop so low as to influence football?
From the Spurs forum
'it is Looks to me like the media have gotten into our player's heads and they are purposely sitting back now against Ange's wishes. Basically they've lost faith in Ange's tactics.
So the problem now is we aren't attacking in numbers but also haven't a clue how to defend, so its the worst of both worlds. Fluking that clean sheet against Brentford actually ruined it because now the players seem to be not bombing forward, but also not keeping a defensive shape'

Another New Manager, Welcome Mr Potter
A few 1-0 wins on the spin and nobody will be talking about his tactics. -
West Ham vs Brentford [15th Feb, 3pm]
I’m excited for this one, as it’ll be the first time Potter’s had a proper spell of time with the players before a match.
Something like:
Areola; Todibo/Coufal, Kilman, Cresswell; Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Paqueta, Emerson; Bowen, Soler; Ferguson -
Couldn't Think - from January 2024
I read somewhere yesterday (HYS maybe) that it's decided by the movement of the passer's hands. If the movement is backwards or level then it's not a forward pass, regardless of the flight of the ball.
That's right, but for it to go 2 metres forward whilst only travelling 6 metres it seems impossible that the passer's hands weren't going forward.

Not convinced by the Spurs keeper. No better than Forster.
I reiterate my earlier post. 😂 -

It’s not even the tackle, it’s the commitment to chase back to be able to make it
Oh for sure, he was so far back yet put his head down and chased what seemed a hopeless cause, then, when the Man Utd player stumbled slightly it was all the opportunity he needed. -

I would’ve thought that Dick Van Dyke’s spot on cockney accent must nail it as our song. -

Not sure about the chant but it has always been my understanding that Villa chose Claret and Blue as their team colour before us
Villa were first to wear claret and blue in 1888 although initially they wore halves like the Blackburn shirt then switched to contrasting body and sleeves in 1892. We started in 1903, Palace in 1905 and Burnley 1910
Mary Poppins was released in 1964 so the football chant would be some time after that -

I think they’re perfect
