Call me a dreadful, dreadful cynic, but if there’s on thing the former Manchester United ace Gary Neville enjoys more than life itself, then it is tormenting Liverpool fans.
Yes, I agree with everything Gary says in principle, but issuing a ringing endorsement of Pochettino ahead of tomorrow’s game stinks to high heaven of gamesmanship.
Quoted in the Daily Express, the respected Sky Sports pundit was close to gushing about the Spurs gaffer.
“It doesn’t feel a big issue in my head because of the fact that they’ve had such a great four or five years, and we’re nine games into the new season…”
This is an extremely generous way of dressing up what has been without doubt, form of a Spurs side courting a relegation scrap.
Neville is guilty at the very least spreading last Tuesday’s Champions League win very thinly indeed. The trip to Anfield is an unlikely catalyst for Tottenham’s Premier League redemption.
Could never get my head round that ghastly stat that last time Spurs beat Lpool at Anfield was 1912. Yikes, as Shaggy used to say.
Indeed, today doesn’t count as there’s nobody to sell food and drink to in N17
For Enic Fc to play well, and get One Point would be fantastic , today ‘s encounter reminds me of the 70’s , you looked forward to the game because you expected nothing .
I just tried to google what he earns and it ranged from 28/60/100K/wk.If it is the lower two we could probably compete salary wise and i think he would be a good bet.The only downside is his injury record.He would be an upgrade on some we’ve been linked with.
Today’s game is crucial to our season I feel.A crediable performance and a point would be a good start to redemption.However the crunch will come in January when Levy must put his hand in his pocket.No cheap options,quality is what is needed to give us the required lift.Sadly I see him reverting to type.We will then know how this pans out.
The team is just a minor concern for ENIC. It’s there as a revenue stream and a vehicle to develop property off the back of. That’s it.
Cheap skate has got us into this mess. Funny when it comes to kitting out Enfield and the Stadium it’s world class all the way, only the very best is good enough for Daniel, he spends days with the architect to get just the right shade of paint. But for the team any old tat will do, trawling through French street markets for somebody’s leftovers.
