OT: Association Football

[Poupou Escobar]

How Crazy is the EPL..

Teams competing not to get relegated, celebrate like they just won the competition ..

They lose so much money dropping out of the Premier League. Luton Town were relegated from the First Division in its final season and missed out on all that EPL money. Financially, things could’ve been so different for them. Then again, they might’ve been relegated in any of the years after that.

Go you Mariners

The appointment of Ange to Spurs is the biggest Australian sporting story of the year BY FAR. Believe the hype.
Sadly it is just a basic headline in Australia, but the appointment has had massive social media and mainstream media discussion in Britain and around the world which most Aussies don't give a f**k about, nor would ever see. I've watched many videos this arvo discussing this most important appointment.
Basically, Ange has taken over from some of the supposed best of world managers like Conte and Mourinho who did sweet fa for Spurs.
This is huge and the pressure is now on Ange to perform. A 4 year deal for him suggests that maybe they are willing to give him time, but I doubt that. This is Spurs and this is the EPL.
I have trust that Ange knows the huge task he has taken on. I just hope he gets the full support of Levy and some time to turn the club around and win something.

Next stop - Any other club in Europe for him if he can achieve that.
Despite what happens from now on, Ange is already a legend of Aussie sport in my opinion.

Conte and Mourinho are so overrated IMO, they have achieved a lot but also rely on spending huge amounts of money on transfers, then they both came to Spurs with their anti football style of play and both got sacked as they did f**k all with the existing squad and we did spend a reasonable amount of money on transfers for Conte and he went backwards. Big Ange plays a very attacking style of football, opposite to anti football that we have been playing for the last 3 years.

Big Ange can get the best out of an average squad, not that Spurs have an average squad, but he won't rely on huge transfer budget, which is probably what Levy found appealing with him.

Also, our Director of Football, who is second in charge to Levy, Scott Munn is also Aussie, worked for Citihads chain of teams starting from Melbourne City (who Mariners just crapped on in the A League Final, lol) then went to China and managed their biggest club, also owned by Citihad (Manchester City and their oil money).

Spurs really have an Aussie flavor atm and some of the poms Spurs fans are saying that's the end of Spurs as those 2 have no European experience.

Hope we kick arse.

As you know, I'm a Newcastle fan.
I just want to see Ange continue to succeed as it is good for Australian football.
Ange can win the FA cup and we can win the PL.
I sincerely wish him well. What he has done at Celtic has been amazing.
Happy times.

We have BBC on in the office and there’s been plenty on there about him.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I mean the British Broadcasting Corporation, by the way

 

[84 Baby]

Keep the other BBC to the washrooms?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It’s inappropriate in the workplace.
