Football lifer & Tottenham Hotspur fan. I would have given Ange an extension. I would fire VAR into the sun.
All answers welcome.
who put the handbrake on?

Seems to be a clear correlation between this woke team naming style and the players looking like they don’t know what to do.

Bring back team naming by formation.

This. But also, what really got me was the 10 minutes of back and forwards about whether possession-at-all-costs or long ball was the way to go without anyone once pitching having players with the technical ability, and giving them the autonomy, to play the situation their eyes see in front of them.
I don’t get Dan saying on @vftlpodcast.bsky.social it’s been bleak for all but Conte S1 2nd half and Ange S1 1st half. That means Ange finishing 5th in S1 was bleak, 3 pts off 3rd 15 games into S2 and great #s was bleak, and Europa win was bleak. The erasure is maddening and defies all sense.

Another move that is guaranteed to bring more goals and cheaper tickets.

Interestingly, I live a stone's throw from one of the forts of the "Stelling van Amsterdam", which is a network of 45 forts built around Amsterdam.

My understanding, as a non historian but tourist of where I live, is that when Germany unified into an Empire in the late 1800s...

Non-football post, though Spurs excited me last night.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands, every household has received information on what we need to put in a "noodpakket" (emergency kit) by the government department overseeing counterterrorism and national security.

What does the emergency kit contain?
An emergency kit contains the main items you need in an emergency. Assembling an emergency kit is easy. You probably have most of the items at home already.

No, thank you, Sonny 손흥민.

FFS guys, if you're bloody well going to do it, do it right. Give me the entire nine innings.

USA USA USA
They're changing football from two halves to four quarters to fit in more ad breaks in the 2026 World Cup.
News: Every 2026 World Cup match will feature two "hydration breaks," no matter the weather.

Each half will pause for exactly three minutes midway through.

It's a player welfare measure. It also has sporting & commercial implications.

Iran vs New Zealand will likely break records for low viewership but I can't wait.

We're a chance in that group, assuming Salah doesn't peak for the Egypt game.

Will be pretty funny if Trump burns his fingers on the microwaved balls trying to draw Iran into that one spot that plays its group games outside of the US.

You know know he's done similar with the keys at house parties.

Frank could do a lot worse than harness his inner U8s coach and give it the loud "go out there and have fun, lads" next weekend at home.

Brentford game is MASSIVE. I’m looking forward to it 😂

Tottenham can no longer hurt me, it’s not apathy, I’ve lived through genuine shitstorms of mediocrity and this right now isn’t one of them.

Grow a pair. Players and fans alike.
