The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[Cornpattbuck]

What I'm struggling with is....if we are a one-man team then why did he just give us £50m for another component of the team?

It's all just mind games...

Because up until the sale we were a two man team!

He could've said 'it's like me calling Man city the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund team'

I'm quite shock with the way Poch responded. Never had we being so audacious in criticising any of those richer clubs and their big name managers... We are supposed to be soft-spoken and meek... FFS Poch...

FUCK HELL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AGES FOR SUCH BADASS RESPONSES FROM US AND OUR MANAGER!!! Eat that pick-nose Pep!

My love for Poch just went another few notches damn it! For that I think we will win a title soon.

Or the Abu Dhabi thieves' toy club.

So glad Poch didnt let that pep comment go

Pep is such a dick

Pep's comments were well snide. Pretty disappointing as I didn't have him down as someone like that.

He's a twat.

There seems to be a theme here, I liked Klopp and Pep before they came to England, I quite dislike both of them now, and it's not because they are managing rival clubs....I think the Prem brings out the prick in people.

The media is totally different. In spain (except for el clasico) and germany they could focus on managing. Here they are expected to play a part in media too.

Its just you only got the cool funny glimpses abroad, but now they're here we get the 24/7 coverage and you see them in all their snidey over the top glory

Classy? Yeah, maybe. To me, he 100% could have pushed it just a little bit more to actually be classy. It's not a bad response, but just a tad bit on the boring side for me. Myself, I would probably just have gone with "No, no, I noticed no comments at all. I'm glad for him that he has time to talk about Tottenham, I must have been too busy managing my squad of 20 amazing players".

He was acting like a twat most of last season.

He is not Wenger

I meant when he came over but in all honesty I had nothing to base that on.

Sorry I thought you wanted a less boring response?!

 

[spursfan77]

He's a twat.

When we played Man City last season he kept walking out of his technical area and was warmed by the 4th official but he kept doing it. Rather than sending him off they just let him get away with it. I shouted out from my seat nearby "get back in your box" and all our fans looked at my like how dare I criticise the man. Seems the veil is finally slipping.

 

[chinaman]

I must say that my dislike for Wenger is based more on jealousy more than his whinging, which is very mild compared with the deviousness of Maureen and the snobbishness of Pep and Flopp. The latter three, I absolutely hate.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Shame really, it is.

For Arsenal. Feels good to say that, though.

Sorry I thought you wanted a less boring response?!

Mate come on, he just goes on and on and on about all sort of political correct congenial, contentless, boring stuff.
Classy to me in that specific instance is to be arrogant without using the word mate.

I agree. I think Wenger is stylish.

Nah. To me, it was perfect. Sometimes, you want our leader to stand up against others, against muppets spouting rubbish (which is what is is, Kane is brilliant but he's a product of this TEAM that Poch has built), and Poch does this, he has our back, but still does it with dignity and class. It's a very rare trait, how many other managers could you say have that balance? They are either hot headed big mouths or boring robots.

I think I actually love him...

Can everyone please stop calling Guardiola Pep like they know him, really winds me up. The guy is a classless prick
