I don’t think they are taking him seriously enough yet. Still the BFG but at some point the joking will stop when they realise they are in the presence of a Jedi master.

Alisdair Gold on the other hand (I know Spurs through and through) but have a lot of time for him; sensible questions. He has defo absorbed the Ange effect like us all.
As usual, every week Ali is the only person that asks a question that is about finding out some new or interesting information about what's going on within the club, or about a specific player that warrants being spoken about but hasn't been. Everyone else always on with the obvious bollocks or whatever the meme of the week is. Journalism is absolutely dead in this country, I swear.

Well it isn't totally dead because of the few good blokes such as Ali, as you pointed out. Would include Jack Pitt-Brooke and Charlie Eccleshare in this group too

2 big marks against Ange. He loves American football and, more worryingly, pronounced Ben Davies’ surname as Day-vees. Get in the bin.

I’ve always pronounced Davies ‘Day-vees’ and Davis ‘Day-Vis’ because I just always assumed that was correct?!

I feel like someone’s told me santa isn’t real.

Davies is a very common name in Wales. 50% of all my teachers in primary school and high school were called Mr/Mrs/Miss Davies. Along with around 20-30% of the kids in my year groups etc.

Not a single one of them ever pronounced their name “Day Vees.” I always assumed it was an English thing to pronounce it that way. But like I said, I’ve never encountered a Welsh person that pronounced it that way.

It’s always been “Dave Iss.”

I’ve always been east/South east/London based… geographical use of language maybe?

Agree to just call him Ben? 😄
