  1. Help me Ima-Mac you’re my only hope.
  2. I think this is where Kulu is so missed. He brings that direct attack that makes our counter dangerous. I wonder if Spurs could get Gio on the cheap in the summer? Sure would be nice.
  3. I really would like to see Spurs nab a late 1 maybe 2 to give themselves an edge for the return trip next week.
  4. Borderline red there. No effort at the ball and kind of showed studs.
  5. Everything but getting the ball in the net.
  6. Damn wish that went in. Nice attempt by Bergvall
  7. With all these replays, I will say Porro really misplayed the man on their goal. He never closed on the man and then got himself twisted up like a pretzel.
  8. Back on the front foot, get another one.
  9. What a great sequence too for that score. The initial pass into Solanke, the pass to Maddison and the shot off the back heel. All nice!
  10. Kulusevski being out of the lineup is kind of glaring right now. I feel like the punch he brings with the attack is just not there and totally missing.
  11. Are you fucking kidding? I just turned the game on!!!
  12. I'm not even sure it was that late. I think the front office lost the plot before the UCL final. Poch would be gone less than 6 months after that final, but clearly the issues had started before his firing and likely before the UCL final. The stadium would open in April of that year and that was a big moment for the club. One thing that went out with Poch, and very possibly before - was his vision of what to do with the club. And without a path of what to do, they are going to be lost. Good read that addresses some of this: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5928008/2024/11/19/pochettino-fifth-anniversary/ Anyway - who knows? But going back to the Ange talk - I just hope the team stick with him more for consistency and seeing if they can keep advancing. I don't see what firing him will get you.
  13. this was one of the things that Breaking Twitter really showed - the guy has no ability to read the room. They talked about his appearance at the Chappelle show and his Super Bowl Tweet and his appearance at the World Cup final - and though all of that thought posting that poll "Should I step down as Twitter CEO" was a good idea. I know he can (and does) blame it on "being on the spectrum", but the dude wants a public life, so what does he expect?

  15. Also - it's game day Motherfuckers! Europa League - let's see what we can do!
  16. Running against Paxton? That doesn't really make much sense financially. I'm pretty sure that paying off Paxton is pretty much cheaper and easier than running against Paxton.
  17. Maybe, but IMHO, like other here (@Schulz2.0), I think the problem isn't COMPLETELY the manager and more on the club. What I would like is a real fucking plan from the organization! Since they dumped Poch with little to no plan, the managerial job has been a rotating door! Mourinho (2019–21) - hired mid-season, fired mid-season Masoni (2021) - interim Nuno (2021) - fired after 17 games!!! Conte (2021–23) - hired mid-season, fired mid-season Stellinii (2023) - interim and we had to fire him Masoni (2023) - interim Postecoglou (2023–) If you include Poch in that, you're talking 8 managers across 5 seasons (which is now 6 seasons)!!! WTF!?!?!?!? The club is a mess and while maybe the manager is wrong, this is like complaining about the table settings on the fucking Titanic.
  18. Elon is dominating the headlines, but let's not let Zuck off the hook.

  19. I don't see it happening.The guy has always been this asshole, we just didn't see it. So I finished reading this. The basic gist I finally came away with is that his biggest mistake was buying something as public facing as Twitter - and by that I mean their day to days. Because he was able to do stuff at SpaceX and Tesla through force of will and being an asshole because it was behind closed doors. Social media and Twitter isn't like that. He was on very public display being the top dog at Twitter. And the JUST DO IT force of will he exerted at Tesla and SpaceX, behind closed doors worked. Twitter - just makes him an asshole. What this book really showed me? He shouldn't run a fucking lemonade stand, much less be a CEO. AND MUCH LESS be a CEO of however many companies he is the CEO of. The guy is a fucking idiot. Oh and the book end with him naming Yaccarino as CEO.
  20. It's a good thing that Ange doesn't have the force, because that dude has some fucking thin skin. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/apr/09/ange-postecoglou-tottenham-europa-league-quarter-final-eintracht-frankfurt
