When will I saw was the first post and this one, I assumed your suggestion was Fielding a team of 1 year olds based on the assumption that was a sure fire path to success via numerology... And I was on board. But murder of a lad just trying to make his way in the world? That's dark man.

What about that amendment that was supposed to apply to muskets and now seems to apply to semi-automatic assault rifles.
On that note, wasn't that entire amendment intended to ensure that the people could stand up against a government which has decided to impinge on their conditional liberties?

Tell me about it. i can't really afford it either, but my job necessitates that my car be presentable when I visit people, so there we go. It's an Audi but has possibly been my least reliable vehicle. And I've owned 2 ropey old Alfa Romeos.

My last motoring month is £600 on a new injector and £2300 fixing a coolant leak and replacing a brake pad. If I've had all the bad luck, that means there should be some good luck out there for you! 🤞🏻

Jesus Christ, he's seemingly made a living out of shit talking Spurs and giving room for others to do the same and he's being given the opportunity to expand his audience, presumably with a pay cheque. He's the worst of the worst.

Sorry for the rant, your post was something of a catalyst. The trouble with this format is obviously the character limits and the limited attention span we all have. No doubt I have still failed to word my posts as I have intended and I do hope I don't upset anyone who might read some or all of them

Country are increasingly 'of this country'. Just as I, if I moved to Spain, would wish to fit in with what it is to be Spanish, rather than saying to export Britishness. Meanwhile we need to take all we can that is good about the people who want to live here and make it a part of our culture.

By the idea of migration. But the way to fix this isn't too pander to the reform voter and tacitly imply they are right by taking down migration, it's to try and move that line off thinking to the fringe and instead talk about how we better integrate migrants and ensure that people who come to this

Negative impact on legal migration, meaning we still get the people 'we don't want' but don't benefit from having people who are well educated and/or keen to work hard coming too this country. The arguments are nuanced and I'm not going to pretend I don't understand why some people are turned off
comment in response to

But to simply ignore the benefits because it's too hard/risky politically to put forward the positive case for migration is obviously to the country's detriment both now and in the future. It's already been proven that the current direction of travel has a small impact on illegal migration and a big

Backgrounds mix. There is even a debate to be had around what the cost is and whether it's acceptable or what can be done to mitigate. There also a debate to be had around whether it's actually better for society to be influenced by other cultures and traditions since it's been going on forever.

Instead of trying to educate, inform and bring the public along for the ride with policies that are for the greater good, politicians now simply paneer to the lowest common denominator.

Given how much of the season we have left, I fear 'bad news' on an injury implicitly equates to 'won't play again'.

He might be trolling, but I guarantee that he not only believes he could (and should be invited to) do it, but that he believes he'd be better than anyone else at it.

We've given up on it. Disappointed by the quality of the produce and the standard of the recipes of late. Mindful Chef have been on a similar trajectory unfortunately. One of the recipes we had from them told us to turn the oven on at the start, it remained on and unused by the time we'd served up.

This is Trump in a nutshell.
Genuinely wealthy people don't flashing their wealth like a poser, people just know they are wealthy.
Genuinely strong people don't flaunt their power, people just know it.
Small countries have military parades, there is a reason why the US doesn't. Trump is small.

US it's own unique character in itself. Obviously many Americans, particularly those not predisposed to travel don't know anything different.

But US zoning laws and the primacy given to car travel meant that roads expand in width and mid sized buildings disappeared. That coupled with a willingness to allow shops to invade most space alone with large parking lots led to what you've described. It's quite sad although I suppose it gives the

I've read about this phenomenon before. When you compare pictures of US towns and European towns from history (I can't remember the actual timing) there was a time when there were way more similarities and US towns were places a person could walk around and which has characterful buildings and shops

All serious governments use Twitter to run foreign policy...
Why let Rubio, the person whose job it is, take all the glory by having private conversations when you can fix everything yourself in 15 seconds by banging out a tweet for the world to see. Not grandstanding for the base at all.

This shouldn't need saying, but people without qualifications or two knowledge aren't the best to lead us on issues like this, let alone those whose minds have been addled by Class A drug addiction and who have brain worms.

Just have a look at a bunch of either unverified sources, or misinformation, because we've killed the funding for anything with actual scientific merit. That way we can all pretend it's about doing some research, when in fact we're leading you into a new dark age.

Pathetically spineless.

Yes, we looked nothing like the team that embodies the philosophies Ange has espoused. Objectively we played ok, but it was hardly overwhelming either in terms of the scoreline, the standard of football or the style of play.
comment in response to
post
It's not just about individuals, it's about the trend & the poor quality of our performance even with a good number of 1st teamers playing. Yes rotation is necessary, but we shouldn't be going into every league game expecting to lose & we have the players to achieve better, even with some rested.
comment in response to
post
I know that there were first teamers not on the pitch, but most of them could have been. And the rotations were Ange's choice, we still have the majority of the squad available/uninjured now. Until today I was 'Ange in', but today's performance just says to me that something is broken beyond repair.
comment in response to
post
The word arguably was doing a lot of heavy lifting. I know we've been relegated more than once in living memory, but I was really basing it on the number of defeats we've suffered. I'd argue that we have been saved more by the abject performance of the teams below us than our own quality.
comment in response to
post
I think this is true. There are fundamental facts about Spurs, but we have almost a full squad available and we're not even coming close to playing as Ange has advertised as his 'way' and we haven't played that way (other than in fleeting periods) for the better part of a year. It's not working.
comment in response to

I have been very positive about the idea of Ange's football, but on the pitch, I just can't see it happening. Something obviously has to give.

Right people within the structure at Spurs (one could argue he got lucky with Poch) and is he capable of stepping back sufficiently to allow the experts he brings in to do their job to the best of their ability, from the Manager upwards.

although the length of my thread reflects how difficult that is on a forum like this.
I think the argument suggesting Levy doesn't spend is outdated and is an oversimplification, but it's an easy crutch to imply all I've said above. The real question is actually is Levy competent at selecting the

Of course we have spent, We've absolutely had to, but whether we've spent well is a very different story.
I'm agnostic on Levy and I can tell equally positive stories about him, but we need to move away from using pretty isolated facts and data and considering these issues in the round,

When I think back, it's not just a player like Kane we're now missing, we miss the guile of Eriksen, the impact of Dele the power of Dembele and the consistency of Jan and Toby.
The players we have now are pale imitations.
comment in response to

but we're still paying the price for not turning the squad over properly when it was needed and for not having a consistent enough style or buying policy. I think we're on a better track now, but we still lack depth and a player who is capable of turning a game around on their own.

or spend the money on three players instead of one. The big example to me was when Liverpool identified their gap in defence and spent big on van Donk, knowing he was the exact man to solve the problem.
In more recent times we've opened the chequebook, for sure,
