Welcome to Dark Arts Tme, with me your host, Mauricio Pochettino.
This is what in the trade is known as Negatiive Reinforcement. Your child refuses to wear sunscreen lotion, so instead of forcefully dowsing him in the stuff, you let him morph into an unhappy lobster.
The next time there’s a hot day, your kid will be the one checking everyone is liberally slathered in Factor 50.
Poch making the boys watch Chelsea lift the cup must have been an utterly soul destroying experience.
If true, one can only admire Poch’s presence of mind and indeed mental strength to inflict this on the squad – and himself.
Shuffling off discreetly back into the changing room, is the natural desire. That’s the old adrenaline going straight from fight to flee.
Spurs are not favourites to win this historic game, however that’s nothing to grumble about.
Liverpool were more consistent in the league, and despite the parallels with the Barca and Ajax games – it’s not up for debate that Ajax are not in the same league as the Catalans.
I don’t buy into all this ‘BELIEVE’ hokum. I’m not 5 years old and there is no Santa Claus.
In isolation from from cold facts like Liverpool have spent in order to make a final (like well run clubs do), it isn’t nuts to say, that Mauricio Pochettino deserves to win this.
