I bet he's thinking, why didn't I take that Real Madrid or PSG job when I had the chance in the off-season. BTW, I find it quite ridiculous that no one gets a chance anymore in the EPL when things get tough. If a manager has a string of disappointing results, then it's almost a foregone conclusion that he'll be sacked in no time. Unless his name is Ferguson or Wenger.

I don't know why spurs sacked him he is a good manager the only mistake he made was taking the Chelsea job when he came to the premier league.

Brilliant result yesterday not surprised to see AVB go, Once they appointed Franco Baldini as technical director you knew he wouldn't have all the power, If I was a spurs supporter I'd want to know who made the signings during the summer

What do you think of the champions league draw david.

Bayern Munich again. The difference a point makes.

we should have won our group but I think we have a good chance.

FrameFecker · 12-16-2013, 04:43 PM

Would Spurs have sacked AVB had they not been so thrashed by Liverpool and Citeh?

The first leg isn't till Feb. We have to spend big in this transfer window if we even remotely hope to get past what is arguably the best club in the world. Saturday showed us exactly why we need a world class striker. Giroud had 3 high-chance attempts to finish and blew them all miserably. Heck, Bendtner played better than him when he came on.

Not dismissing Giroud, he's been brilliant at times and his passion and work rate is fantastic, but the quality isn't there. If we even had the 2nd fiddle striker in many teams, like a Dzeko or a Hernandez, just think of the production we would get out of them. To me, Giroud produces because he's the lone striker at Arsenal right now, and someone has to with that bunch of midfielders setting up his goals. But the past two weeks in meaningful games he's been complete and utter shit, no two ways about it. I think he would make a great 2nd striker, but we need a new world class striker if we want to be taken seriously.

Arsene wenger won't spend in January us arsenal fans know his habits as a manager for a long time now, he thinks that with Walcott and podolski coming back we don't need to strengthen in attack, but we do need a striker like Dzeko for example who could be a difference for us.

Apparently those are the two biggest contributing factors.

Sunderland v Man Utd and Man City v West Ham in the League Cup Semi's.

Edit:No disrespect to the other teams(steedeel)but a Manchester final would add something to a cup competition I care little about.

Don't count out Sunderland...I doubt many people expected them to knock out Chelsea last night.
