He has proved them wrong all his life.

morning date for you/us - invite from Pep Anges Spudz Monday 3.30am koff at Etihad.....
Look forward to it after a more important game 1am LFC hosting Fulham :).

Big game City away. They'll go for it. It'll be interesting to see how City play it. Absorb the press and strike and grasp the control themselves.

Furious start with Son giving Spurs the lead from a counter the unluckily but also somewhat comically scoring and own goal. Insane pace.

City having to work much more than they're used to as Spurs are going all out. Haaland misses a sitter now something akin to the second France goal vs Australia with a stupid Spurs turnover. 

Game ends 3:3. Massive effort by Spurs but stupidly gifted some goals to City. No idea why the ref blew when City's advantage through ball to Grealish seemed fair late in the game. He was away. 

first up I watched an absolutley thrilling Anfield game.
Worldy goal feast and in the end Thankyou Ange we've jumped above City.
Maybe we softenned city up for spudz week before haha.....
Like our game the 1st half city always look like having the control and your waiting for goals.
Kudos to spudz, what a great counter and Sons finish - the other 2 goals very well taken - gaining a point their is gold imo.

Ange needed this result just to lift the confidence of his players. 

Also interesting to see long balls from Vicario in injury time. 

LFC, great game between Liverpool & Fulham & both Trent's goals & MacAllister's goals were great especially MacAllister's goal.
It's so hard to love the way TAA, Diaz & especially Salah plays & still dislike Liverpool.

Ange's Spurs did so well, but he admitted that City should've blown them away in the 1st half.

I'd say Pep is seeing despite them having the best GF to date they should be finishing more.
Like the LFC game previous week 1st half, as Ange says they should have blown either away by HT.
2/3 game is over.....
Thats 3 draws on the bounce for city whereas Ange broke a 3 match losing streak and yes good confidence booster FTB and at this stage just 2wins away from the top, 6 Clubs are within close distance but such early days.
haha still dislike the LFC, need to change your ways.
MaC's goal was a friggin rocking cracking first timer as was both TAA's, that spot kick man was peach ! yet a OG haha and kudos Endo getting his well taken 1st.
Your LFC buddies would be grinning.

How much did you scream this morning with Trent's final goal?????? (the free kick was 100% not an OG... bastards btw)

Hahahaha Im not wanting to have a go but thats what sucks about being a football fan sometimes... You admire the rivals play and you hate yourself for doing it.... hahahahahaah

Couldnt stay up for it but looking forward to the replay when I get home :)

got noisy from Endo's leveler and TTA's winner my son came out of the granny flat to my place screaming did you see that !
In the meantime the Mrs's was asleep on the couch lol........
Watching the FK reply a few times the ball did bounce off Leno's back after the cross bar - IF I hadn't watched the replays I would have sworn it was in but for scrapping the under side of the cross bar.

Yer I watched the first 10 of spudz but had to hit the pit.

It's not the grinning I can't handle it's the gloating!!! But plenty to gloat about, when that ball fell to TAA, I just knew he would score.

My love of Football is greater than my jealousy!!!!

Who said anything about jealousy? You really go out of your way sometimes eh Robbos.... oh well... fair enough then.

Mono, my jealousy!!!! Liverpool playing nice football & I'm jealous.
Nothing against you.

Sorry mate, I misunderstood your comment.  All good :)

haha they should always tread lightly for as we know this game pay back comes round the corner.
I always sit calm and not carry on too much becuase you always eat your words at times and I avoid giving opponents/friends the ammo haha

I have enjoyed stirring the pot amongst my team mates a couple of Spurs ones, they gloated so much sniffing the heights of the ladder during the 10game streak gawd they have paid for it last few weeks.
Gone MIA from the team group chat haha - some said see you after the Jan window.

Great pre-game interview with Pep. He's an impressive man as well as a manager. He spends most of this clip talking up Ange, and gives great response to question re Ange saying (jokingly) in a press conference that he just copies Pep

Love your comments and banter. I have considered Fergie's win in his last year the worst legacy he could have left future managers as Man United fell over the line that year to win the title and all subsequent managers have had to live with that. However, since your team are now only one behind us, I have changed my mind. And, yeah, swings and roundabouts, at least you haven't suffered the ignominy of dropping to the second division like we did in the seventies. Cheers

haha Thanks mate, TBH I refrain from OTT banter here as much as I luv it for some take things too deep, afterall its only a game as much as we luv it.
Your right about the post Fergi challenge.
That conniving bugga grabbing RVP without him wouldn't have got to 20 nor did he want to go out a loser, as you know the $$$'s were getting pulled back aging squad but he had to have that title......
Those hard long seasons watching the OT success was damn hard to stomach since our glory times pre EPL you got to eat humble pie for there is always only way to go, down haha I have cherished the moments last 10yrs coming up.
Couldn't imagine relegation agree the worst feeling it would be and the new dawners would be in shock if they knew history instead of the present.
Cheers mate.

Getting back on Angiebaby,
Thought this was a cracker description/take of our aussiegreek Ange in this article, lol classic some of it, copy pasted below incl article.........
"Ange Postecoglou, the most effortlessly charismatic of the Premier League’s recent managerial arrivals, has amassed a committed fanbase in just a few months at Tottenham despite being the most thirsty-sounding man in modern football. I don’t mean this figuratively – there’s no doubt he’s thirsty for success – but literally: the man speaks as if he’s perpetually in need of a glass of water, as if confronting some vast internal desertification. Along with the other defining elements of the Postecoglou aesthetic – the dadbod, the church clothes, the heavy seasoning of mates, dead sets and jeezes that salt his speech, the chin plumped permanently in that left hand as he gravels his way through another appointment with the press, the porcupine hair and the outstretched arms – that sense of incurable dehydration is all part of his parched charm, the things that make Ange inimitably himself. It is, in other words, inseparable from his charisma."

Hahahaha great read mate, thanks for posting :)

Of course the bugger is charismatic, he's a Greek boy from Melbourne ... we ALL are.... hahahahahahaahahahah

Who's watching 

Wow what a calamity between Udogie & Vicario (whose been excellent this season). 

Ange's Tottenham is suffering from a lack of width IMO. Both Kulusevski & Johnson aren't wingers that will give you 1v1 advantage and get beyond their man unless in transition. 

Son has been missing this game (struggles against low block teams) and Richarlison missed an open goal header when he came on.

This is a tough time for Ange, feel like he's stuck between playing the way he wants, with a squad that can't quite replicate it and a fanbase with unrealistic expectations. 

So much for  the "Tzatziki Taka" revolution.... Had to leave for work after going 1 nil up, thought it would be comfortable from there....   A bit of pressure on Angie now.... can't live off the early success anymore, needs a couple of results to go theri way to limp into the transfer window.... 

C'mon big man, turn it around.

That was a horror loss for Ange. WH are so so crap and its infuriating when teams score fluke wins with their negative tactics. 

My hammers friends are loling with just 24% possession and away win, got to say that would hurt spurs after the city result.
Home loss is a dagger short and sweet and in 3days a visiting hurt Toons who also will be keen to bounce back.

I recall saying the run ahead when injuries struck post the 10game run would be a rocky road and lucky to get points.
That’s 5loss’s now and 1draw.
Really needs to convert some chances, 23 shots 7 on target this game should have been over with.

It looks they are in free fall with end in sight especially that they really missing a player like Maddinson who brings that creativity which is clearly lacking in the team.

I thought both wingers Johnson and Kulusevski were quite poor, especially the later who has been impressive but he's decision making in the final third was really poor today.

I knew West Ham would give them the ball and to Spurs credit they did very well in controlling the game but West Ham scored a lucky first goal and I knew the momentum would change after that.

They got Newcastle next, they lost to Everton which is surprising but it wont be easy for Spurs until January.

I also have a feeling Ange is going to blow up the entire squad if Daniel Levy gives him the blessing to make big changes because some of the players dont suit he's style of play.

Just a lucky first goal? You don't think, a bad back pass, a bad clearance, and the ball coming off the post straight back to the attacker is a even luckier second goal? It serves Tottenham right for doing absolutely nothing with the ball in the second half. Dominated possession and never wanted to take a shot, or cross when they had ample time and space to do so, it's like they were scared of losing the ball and it cost them the game.
