Spurs (A) - Post Match

[Lecter]

During some tense discussions, Levy demanded the re-integration of Emmanuel Adebayor into the Tottenham team and for Villas-Boas to set aside his personal issues with the striker.

If that is true then its an insight into Spurs' biggest problem

If a director / chairman starts to influence team selection then it will only end in tears

Well, that may have applied in the 70s, but it doesn't any more.

Whilst people in the boardroom should never intefere with team matters, they are critical to the success of a club. Just look at what getting the wrong ones did to us, and look at the guys in charge now. The turnaround from 12-18-36 months is remarkable (at the moment) and they are due credit for their part. Whether it is by way of further improving revenue streams to recruiting the current manager.

I bet humble pie has never tasted better eh

Would that be the Flannigan pie or the Henderson pie?

The Henderson pie is surprisingly popular round these parts

I get that, but the quote referred to the 'Football Club', not the team. And I reckon Shankly meant it that way.

Just read some of this. It's hilarious They really are obsessed with us. I also found their bitterness and hatred genuinely funny.
