Rolling 5 game xg for the past 5 years, red line is where we are as of yesterday.

Yea I meant that they put it on their website

Brentford having an analysis page is crazy

He’s not better than mgw and it’s unclear if his ceiling is either.

You either pay 10-30m for the wonder kids when they are 18-20 with no real experience or you pay 2-7-x that when they get some.

That’s how you get pre peak players in today’s market.

Adam Wharton is going for 100m after one season at palace.

Akliouche 70m after one season. Paz probably would go for the same if made available.

That’s just how it works now.

There’s no one on the market and who would come to spurs who is gonna fit that bill.

It’s just not a realistic comparison point.

The problem with comping him to Maddison is that Maddison doesn’t do much work off the ball and can’t stay healthy.

Frank seemingly wants to win a lot of duels/second balls.

He became the country's last Jew upon the death of Yitzhak Levi in 2005. The pair famously did not get along. In 1998 Levi wrote to the Taliban interior minister to accuse Simantov of theft of Jewish relics. Simantov responded by telling the Taliban that Levi ran a secret brothel where he sold alcohol. The Taliban was so annoyed by their constant fighting that twhy threw them in jail. But they eventually kicked them back out when they continued to fight inside the prison.

This account of the relationship between the last two Jews in Taliban Afghanistan is incredible

😭

My baby girl turns 4 today.

I am only alive because of a bacon cheese burger.

You just get into carpentry or done it for a while? Been entertaining picking up a course.

Defund ice was always the right position and I don’t think history will look kindly on those who dismissed and ridiculed it.

I don’t have a drinking problem because I am in fact very good at it.

I really people with money would understand that you can always get smacked in the face (with a piece of pizza).

Oh that daughter was bucking.

The dentist just asked my 3 year old daughter if she flosses everyday and without hesitation she said “yea. Every day”.

I’m pretty sure she has no idea what flossing is.

We don’t have issues with homegrown players. We have issues with club trained players.

Definitely groaned “oh my god” as soon as I read cover me.

😭😭😭😭😭

If your contention is the next guy is better than ange.

Then it’s gotta be at least 5th in league or a domestic final/strong QF in Europe.

Well. That’s the rub right? We’ll be 7th-9th in prem wages next year and levy wants us to compete on multiple fronts.

I don’t think that’s possible. Pep is probably the biggest tactical first coach and they spent 250m in Jan to save their season.

Well that's the thing. It's not a "professional operation" if it's looking past the things it needs to improve to get better rather than putting unrealistic hope on a manager to outperform.

Any professional operation will look at the realities of the situation and judge accordingly.

Right. They have a higher quality of player. One of those other things that matters.

There’s a natural ceiling to tactical nous and I think any professional operation would understand that.

And outcomes are also more than tactics. What’s the tactical idea of Ancelloti? Or zidane?

Sports management is about a lot more than tactics. If that’s the sole basis of the decision then you’re gonna be in for a rude awakening when the rest of the stuff becomes a problem.

I think we are all just waiting on someone to put a microphone in front of romeros face.

Financially speaking it’s nonsense.

It’s purely emotional to think the league is more valuable than Europe under any circumstances.

I accept that heuristic generally but that wasn’t the case for spurs at any point post Chelsea.
