    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    Worked in Sidcup for more than 10 years, never met a Man U fan. All the London clubs,yes. Not Man U. Clearly your best mate doesn't need specs.

    Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

    I dunno, after all he is an Arsenal fan. He is a strong believer in fairness and in the power and benefits of sport and has a keen appreciation of its social, political and financial aspects. He has participated in sport all his life, is a member of the MCC and Arsenal FC, and still regularly...

    As an Australian who has been involved with Australian football at the top level in both journalism/TV and and administration, let me say that it is almost impossible for any Aussie coach to reach the FC Twente/Sampdoria/Auxerre level of coaching unless they actually played for these clubs. That...

    Guus Hiddick managed Australia from 2005-2006 through the qualifiers and took them to the World Cup in 2006. Tim Cahill scored two goals for Australia against Japan to give Australia their first ever win at a World Cup Finals. Not that this has anything to do with our manager search and Ange...

    Tim Cahill played under Guus Hiddink and he did OK didn't he. I mean, as an ex Chelsea interim manager twice, he'd be perfectly qualified to manage us.😊

    I don't know if it's just me, but I keep having this nagging thought that Levy actually wants us to fail, relegate even, so this leaves the 'entertainment' venue and the rest of company as the prime focus of the business and pushes the difficult effort and journey to build a successful football...

    Match Threads Newcastle Vs Spurs

    Just seen this half-time quote by Rob Bagchi on the live game report ticker in The Telegraph: "An utter defenestration of Tottenham's defence and the way the club has been run over the past few years with such strange recruitment, so much short-termism which has left them with a squad of players...

    The other thing about Kompany is that one would hope he'd know how to spot and coach the new centre backs that we so desperately need.

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    Munn is a bit of a doppleganger for Levy (with contact lenses instead of glasses, of course.) Also seems quite short too. Is this part of Levy's master plan ?

    Forget a Spurs shirt. Did he know anything at all about football when he was younger, because most Aussies don't, especially if they've been involved with Aussie Rules etc.

    Also works in Strine. It's exactly the same as we Aussies do.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Levy's confines are fit only for a property investment company, not a football club, let alone one trying to achieve something on the pitch.

    Group H: UR/SKO/POR/GH

    As an Aussie whose memory goes back to our WC qualifier against Israel at the SCG in 1969, I can honestly say that I'm very, very pleased, but very surprised. This really is nowhere near our best team but they now have the best ever WC Finals record. Hopefully you will agree, Argentina is surely...
