So Emery has been charged by the FA for kicking a water bottle which hit a Brighton fan.

Who are the legends now?

The FA has misguided priorities when it charges a manager for a silly, inconsequential accident yet lets Salah get away with blatant cheating.

Prime suspect in the Dele incident ? Or Wenger ?
It's opportunistic, institutionalised theft. If that was Poch I'd be going mental about a simple show of emotion being milked by the PL for thousands of pounds-it hasn't yet but it will be.

However, I have a fine set of double standards so yeah, Emery's a bottler. :)

I hope nobody redesigns the gooner logo to show a bottle rather than a cannon.

They just need to get the ball to Aubameyang as quickly as they can against Liverpool. Expecting them to roll over a bit but they could do with the result and I don’t care what anyone says, Aubameyang can mug Van Dijk off if he’s really at it.

Will be very spursy if we drop points and liverscum dropping points - just cant see liverscum dropping points. Arse are just so so so shit defensively like real bad.

Sari is seriously thinking about getting in a shrink for his players.

I know I'm going off topic but I really think most people would benefit from seeing a psychologist every once in a while. Especially people in high pressure jobs with a lot of spotlight on them.

I'm surprised the notion of footballers seeing shrinks is even news tbh.

Sorry Marty, I was being flippant - I would have thought the same, Spurs must have many sports consultants, psychologists and scientists on the payroll these days.

I'm pretty sure that we first used a psychologist when Keith Burkinshaw was in charge.

From an article in the Independent...

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...ay-without-it-even-england-rugby-1525131.html


Tottenham were John Syer's first major clients, from 1980 to 1985. During this period Spurs won the FA Cup in 1981 and 1982 and the Uefa Cup in 1984, but the psychologist's arrival was treated with a degree of scepticism.

"White coats at White Hart Lane was the Daily Mirror headline," Syer recalled, "and another paper had a big black couch on the page. I completely understand that, because the layman doesn't really know the difference between psychiatry, psychology and sports psychology."

Job definition was a problem when Keith Burkinshaw, the Tottenham manager, was preparing to introduce Syer and his partner, Connolly, to the players.

"What should I call you?" Burkinshaw asked.

"Well, we're sports psychologists," Syer said.

"I can't call you psychologists," Burkinshaw told him.

"Well...mental training."

"We can't call you mental, can we?"

Burkinshaw resolved the situation, telling the players: "This is John and Chris and they're going to be with us for a while."


Bloody love Burkinshaw. A true visionary, but still your quintessential down-to-earth Yorkshireman.
