    Seen the last twenty mins after getting off work. We did that WITH OUR 'B TEAM! Honestly,a cup run is nice but if we can shore up our defense we have a real chance at getting a double promotion cos scoring goals isn't a problem. McKenna is a miracle worker.

    It's interesting watching 'boro play v Coventry. Much more technical way of playing to what you normally see coming out of the championship and more enjoyable than Sunderland v Luton yesterday. Very similar style to how Ipswich play given that the 2 managers worked together at Man.U. Here is a...

    Yep, super Kieran McKenna taking the Tractor Boys back to the Premier League ( 2 years). Gamechanger and Mark Ashton have absolutely turned the club around.

    Imagine being 3-0 down in game 1 with 20 mins left. What do you do? Pull all your best players? Imagine betting on a game and that scenario happens 😂.

    To be clear, I really want MLS to succeed. However, with 9 of 15 teams in each conference making the playoffs it renders the regular season almost meaningless. Then there is a one game wild card round followed by a best of 3 for one round! It just seems so gimmicky. New and casual viewers are...

    Changing the subject. I just heard about the MLS playoff format. What a joke! No wonder MLS is not taken seriously anywhere else 🙄😯😵‍💫

    That atmosphere at the end reminded me of the Fergie era. Brilliant!

    8 managers in 9 years! The very definition of how not to run a club.

    I'm saying they are a better landing spot for a manager to grow with a club than Spurs. Moyes has took them so far and done a great job. He has solidified and put them on the map. It's primed for somebody like Poch who has a more attack minded attitude to come in and take them to the next level...

    But that's in the past Joe. The potential and fan base is there. Bigger than Chelsea even. Sure, every one associates the core fans with the ICF etc but that's changing. Look, I have no love for West Ham and I'm only using them as an example of a team with growing ambition and being a great...

    There's no question that the potential for Spurs is higher but we've been saying that for 40 years 😆. There's something wrong there in that we consistently see a lack of long term vision for the team. We saw it at United after Fergie left and I believe they have now got it right with Haag...

    At this point in time is Tottenham a more attractive proposition than West Ham for instance? I think the West Ham ownership are more responsive to a coaches needs/wants and there's certainly less pressure. If I'm Poch im certainly not going back.
