  1. I'm not writing Potter off, tbh I haven't seen enough from him to suggest that he'd be a success or a failure but one area I think Spurs would be looking at of his is Brighton's draws this season, joint highest with Palace. From Spurs' perspective though they have two of the best forwards in the league and now what looks like a really good acquisition in Kulusevski. They're not winning the league atm but I don't think they're far off of challenging in the latter rounds of the Champions League, making FA Cup finals and in general putting in respectable point tallies in the league behind Liverpool and City. Spurs right now aren't in the position they were when Poch first came through, so bringing someone like Potter in who is similar to Poch back I don't think is the right idea. Where they'll get a manager from who knows, but I think the best thing for them at the moment is to hold onto Conte for as long as possible because I don't see Harry Kane ever changing his mind about staying at Spurs with Graham Potter in charge.

  2. I think Nuno is probably the reason why Potter doesn't get it. I think Spurs will go back for Poch.

  3. With all due respect to both club's history there is a gulf in what Spurs should currently be expecting as a bare minimum and what you should be. I think Potter would be a great appointment for you, not expected to win silverware, opportunity to bring in young players, grow the team, grow expectations from mid-table nothingness to Europa League contention. But Spurs are not looking at Europa League contention, not with the new stadium and players like Kane and Son at the club even if there is some dross elsewhere. I just think the Spurs job is a level too soon to be giving to Potter and they need to go after someone who can turn them into competitors for silverware again whilst getting into and staying in the top 4 regularly.

  4. Yes, but my point was that this kind of football isn't sustainable at the highest level. He won the league with us too (although we benefited having no European football) then we finished 5th the following season. He's fantastic in a certain environment but Spurs and the Premier League isn't it if we are thinking about long term.

  5. Potter also doesn't have a track record of throwing tantrums midway through the season and then quitting his contract while also somehow getting the remainder of his salary paid out in full.

  8. This one makes me laugh because a long while back when we were up in the loft moving stuff about my youngest daughter who was in her teens back then found some of my old 45's and thought they were black CD's and she asked me what they were for...

  9. Meanwhile, the son of a notorious former dictator is about to become the new president of the Philippines after a questionable election with broken voting machines and alleged vote buying. For those unaware, his father holds this fantastic record:

  10. Things have taken a sudden violent turn in Sri Lanka today, with the situation getting out of the hand and escalating quickly after pro-government bands attacked the protesters this morning. Nationwide curfew has been imposed again (which is being largely ignored by the general public). Peaceful protests and demonstrations are now turning into riots, and houses/businesses of several current and former members of the parliament are being set on fire by the angry mob. One of the MPs opened fire at people blocking his vehicle killing two of them, and then apparently committed suicide afterwards. The PM has resigned.
