As much as I like listening to the Jamie’s and the Chapman, and believe me I really really do …I’d much rather learn which team we’re gonna smash in the semi final next month.

FT: Tottenham 4-3 Manchester United
Ange Postecoglou is talking to Sky Sports now - we’ll bring you the best of his quotes soon.
“You’re sort of suggesting I asked the players to make those mistakes,” he says.
I assume he was asked about the Forster mistakes, which are basically his fault. Everyone knows Forster can’t play football.

FT: Tottenham 4-3 Manchester United
**Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou speaking to Sky Sports: "**We made it harder than it should have been, we were well in control, played really well, we looked like we were going to manage the game and then two unfortunate moments, the first one affected Fraser and then the second one came as a result of that. But we showed character and scored a fourth.
"I like the whole game. Are you not entertained? I know the studio is probably having a meltdown over my lack of tactics.
"We’ve got so many absences at the moment, centre halves, kids on the bench. If we get through the period we’re going to get enormous growth out of it.
"I really liked how we played tonight, obviously those moments tainted it a bit and that has happened this season before and it doesn’t help our consistency, but the mentality of the boys… I love it.
"I love football land love watching teams that go out there to entertain. Obviously we want to be successful and we won’t be if we make things difficult like we did tonight.
"We’re not going out there to try and grind out 1-0 victories, we’re trying to keep folks entertained. I can’t see how that’s a bad thing.
“It’s part of football, mistakes will happen. From the context of how we play as a team, there’s nothing we need to change. It doens’t get me any credit in the bank as an astute tacticisan, but so be it.”
Do you want the players to cut mistakes out?
“Of course, but your asking for perfection in human beungs and that doesn’t exist, sometimes they stuff up just like I do and you do.”
The only time I saw him kick it effectively, was when he responded to a shot from 25 yards by panicking desperately and throwing his foot at it
That’s very funny. How about a video of the goal and not a still picture?
And even if he got up b/4 the GK, it still does’nt mean he can block the GK’s arm
We got the Spuds! They’re at home first
Perfecto.
If Carlsberg did semi-final cup draws :0)
Spurs.
First leg away
The Arse away for second leg at SJP - Some journey they have there
They’ll fly. 1hr flight. Its the fans that will get the joy of a 4-5 hr train journey.
Would be quite happy for them to lose up there and get knocked out.
Joelinton is already sharpening his studs :0)
One of my friends is a season ticket holder at Spurs.
He’s just texted to congratulate us on making the final.
Arse play the Cheaters at home on the weekend before they travel to SJP midweek… The stars are beginning to align for the hard work AS done to date
Can’t believe you can still get 9-4 for us to win this.
We’ve got Spurs over two legs, with the Anfield game second, and then perennial bottlers Arsenal or nothing club Newcastle.
It’s the proverbial mortgage job.
Please don’t bet more than you can afford to lose.
The Norse god is going to want this action
Pity that (nearly all) gambling is illegal in Norway.
…Isn’t @Magnus gambling on the property prices not falling when he is playing MONOPOL/Y… Hope no-one informs the Board Game police :0)
Is the Monopoly Man the Pringles dude’s dad?
