Would be a good suggestion if not for the fact he's already employed by a much bigger and more ambitious club than Spurs.

The 30 games suspected of having been fixed.

By Poe | On 18 December 2013 - 01:40 AM

Italy love cheating.

Yeah, just like the Finns, Hungarians, Norwegians, Germans, Czechs, Turks, Swedes and the English.

Asian betting syndicates have fixers more or less everywhere.

It's pretty ridiculous how dominant Juve are in Italy. Them dropping out of the CL certainly isn't going to help end that either.

Milan-Roma last night was a really good game, particularly the second half.

The Terrence Malick film about the early colonisation of North America?

Watched it years ago and thought it was boring as fuck. I was only 15 then though.

Tor-Kristian Karlsen is pushing for Spalletti as Spurs next manager, basing it on his ability to organise an attacking game as he argues that was the main weakness of Spurs under AVB.

Now, I haven't seen very much of Spalletti at Zenit, but based on what he did at Roma I definitely agree with Karlsen's reasoning. Spalletti turned a Roma attack led by Totti, Mancini, Taddei and Perrotta into the most innovative and one of the very best in Europe. Now Spurs don't have anyone near the genius of Totti, but they have about half a dozen players as good as or better than Taddei, Mancini and Perrotta.

As limited a manager as Spalletti is, watching him manage Spurs would be genuinely fascinating.

Spent a fuck ton of money at Chelsea and made them worse, spent a fuck ton of money at Spurs and made them worse.

Again, AVB did not spend a "fuck ton" of money, Baldini did.

Now, you could blame AVB for not getting the most out of the players he was provided, but you could just as easily argue that Baldini bought the wrong players.

He can't have many complaints - you go and spend £150m over two seasons and you can rightfully expect better than this.

AVB isn't in charge of transfers at Spurs.

If the transfer spending is the problem it's technical director Franco Baldini who should be sacked.

By Telegram Sam | On 15 December 2013 - 18:57 PM

What the fuck has happened to Lamela? It's December and their £30m signing has done nothing.

That's another one on Baldini. A clear case of new manager syndrome, except in this case it's a technical director that's responsible.

you've not really given a decent answer there, you've just swerved the dam question.

I want my account deleted as well because you have my e-mail address down and I don't want spam mail etc when invariable you will sell our e-mail addresses to get money.

every other site offers the ability to delete accounts and in doing so the persons comments are also deleted thereby minimising the "ugliness" as you put it. by not doing this you are being lazy. so again I ask will you delete my account and its details? it was a mistake to join and I want out.

Change the email address in your profile. Forget the site exists.

Problem solved.

Yeah, there are shouts literally named push higher up and drop deeper.

The difficulty now is understanding how far up or down these shouts actually put the defensive line.

I'm at my wits fucking end with FM14. The new tactics setup has made it impossible to play..

A low-tempo, short passing possession game should see you conceding very little, if your team is good enough.

Soldiers who disobey orders and commit war crimes go to prison. I don't see the controversy here.

Soldiers fight wars and open fire when their rules of engagement instructs them to, they do not carry out executions at their own desire. Wearing a military uniform does not make you into Judge Dredd.

Doesn't West Ham play on Olympic Stadium in 2016?

Ground-sharing is hardly some radical idea that's never been tried before. Especially if it is only temporary.

As a big hockey fan (the sport where the concept originates from) I think penalties in football would be a terrible idea.

It's a perfect way of dealing with infractions in hockey because it is a very quick game played in a small and very cramped space, so the game gets tilted heavily in favour of the numerically advantaged team after a penalty because they get the time and space that come at a premium during regular play, leading to many more scoring opportunities and goals, while severely limiting the scoring opportunities of the penalised team. Basically it is both an effective form of punishment and something that raises the entertainment value of a game.

Football is an entirely different type of game, much slower, much more tactical and with far more space. Playing 11 against 10 won't make that much of a difference for the advantaged team while the team that is down a man will just park the bus, waste as much time as possible and do everything they can to slow the game down to a standstill until the penalised player is back, and once a game breaks down like that it almost never recovers. It would completely destroy the flow of the game and send the entertainment value down the gutter.
