REACTION: Man Utd 2-0 Spurs - CRISIS?! What Crisis?

28:45yeah yeah mate that's genuinely I I don't know what it is I don't know if it's like you know I think number one I think we're all less unique as you know as we like to think we are it's a trite thing to say isn't it but it's one of those things that the internet's opened up a bit I think you know we also realize we many of us all think in the same way and think the same things at the same points and that's because you know we're limited machines or a capacity for a certain thing and we're prone to all the same influences and all that type of thing aren't we oh welcome to my ted talk on i so clever as i'm sitting here blethering on about football i don't know what i'm talking about what i'm talking about nonsense dunning kruger self-important pillock right i said that like jeremy clarkson then pillock self-important pillock um yeah i was really i thought i was checked out as well a little bit mate i thought i was kind of no do you know what it is is actually because i'd actually been duped into thinking maybe spurs actually you know maybe maybe we'll actually be okay from this point um but we're not we're not and that's why it's i find that really annoying i find

30:05I don't know, mate. Isle of Lily White says, Jack, you're a legend. Oh, thank you, sir. Jack, you're a legend. Fancy playing right centre-back next week. Cheers. That would actually be very, very... It would be generational content to see an overweight 40-year-old man who is actually pretty crap at football anyway and always kind of was quite crap at football playing right centre-back in a Premier League match. I think it would be quite interesting to watch. Maybe I should get an agent and pitch it. Pitch it to Spurs. Tell them that, you know, it'll... I don't know. It'll be interesting. I don't know.

30:54Album273 says, Surely the only way to go from here is up. Right? Right? It's very Padme, that, isn't it?

31:07Roberto Camp says, Romero is a dimwit. Dimwit is brilliant. Do you know what? That's one of those, like, old-timey, I mean, slur's not really the word for it. It's a slur, to me, infers that it's very offensive. but it's one of those, you know, just an old-fashioned insult that's just brilliant, imbecile, you blithering idiot. That's what Captain Hook always used to say, isn't it? You blithering idiot. What's it, Captain Hook, or was it one of them? Pocahontas or something, isn't it?

31:58320 music says we're in real danger here why can't every why can everyone but the board see it yeah mate you know hubris what it's either i think there's an interesting debate here as to whether it's hubris or it's them simply not having a clue the hubris element being well we're talking to hotspur we're really rich you know we bought conor gallagher we can't go down and they're not having a clue so i mean to be fair the two kind of go hand in hand don't they one begets the other if you like

32:40james pruden says i can't stand any of them any of them i think there is i honestly think there is a case to be made when can i remember football i would say i can properly remember football from if i'm saying like properly if i remember like games and disappointment i remember plenty of games i remember plenty of football from like 1994 onwards but i didn't get to watch an awful lot of football um i was a skyless household um so the majority of my football watching was either if i went to a mate's house or match of the day um and that would be match of the day on a sunday morning because i'd be tucked up in bed before it was on in the evening but where do you know i maybe let's say 99-2000 when I was watching more and more football if you like really

33:47I think from that point I don't think there has been I think you'd be hard pressed to find a more dislikable group of Spurs players I think there are a number of dislikable players in the squad that Pochettino inherited at least there was just such a stink around that squad at that point and they were all sort of checked out the majority of them and it seemed quite toxic and it didn't really seem like anybody was you know really have much love for the club or anything anymore and it feels like we're in that place now but loads of these guys are all young players still and loads of them all won a European trophy of his last year you know so he must realize there's a platform here to do something

34:38Pirate Dread Roberts says I didn't think we were that good before the Romero Red Romero's actions masked another bad performance under Frank yeah I don't know if I was saying we were like really good but I thought we were okay still like I said though the system I don't think provided us really much help.

34:59James Pruden said, players manage a board, they can all do one. Yep. Canine McGurn one says, who does Romero hate more, the Tottenham hierarchy or Brazilians? Yeah. Toast Malone, three wins since October the 26th and the manager doesn't seem to be under any pressure whatsoever.

35:24Yeah. Ryan Andrew says, I want to get off. Rub it harder. Hacker CPS says, Orange. Yeah, yeah, Orange. Yeah, I agree. Orange. Kugo says, obviously daft of Romero, but he's been pulling the team for the past two months. Not a red. Really unlucky. And his head's on Mars because the manager is a clueless W word. Ben Mathis says, sleepwalking into relegation for what reason? I can see some transfer requests coming in the summer. Yep. Bang on. Hacker CPS says hard yellow. Yep. 320 Music VB also says, yep, agree. Orange. If it isn't Romero, it's a yellow card. Christopher Hall says if the club wasn't such a shambles Romero wouldn't need to post would he exactly spot on like for for all this that like oh it's vile that he's done this it's disgraceful guy signed a new contract in summer you know signed a new long-term contract with us he's a club captain I don't think he's like you know desperate to leave by any stretch of the imagination although you know there was some talk that he did it to get himself a bigger pay packet and i don't know whatever

36:55darren223 says didn't watch the game same as usual before and after the red pretty much mate to be honest pretty much christopher hall also says he sets us up to die he can only have one more game do you think that I don't know mate I I cannot I can't see them getting rid of him I think they're just so terrified I think they're so terrified of and to be fair like who do we bring in who do we bring in for half let's see managers available now Premier League let's have a look

37:40available coaches this is transfer market it's obviously Xavier Alonso yeah we all know that Gareth Southgate anyone taking Gareth Southgate I personally don't really fancy it but you know I think we'd all be lying if we said we weren't all bought in and loving him in 2018 you know I don't want Gareth Southgate I'm just saying Enzo Maresca I don't think he comes to Spurs Joe Jim Lowe should we have him on the sidelines picking bits out of his pants and sniffing them and stuff don't know about that Xavi Hernandez he's still floating about isn't he Ruben Hamerim I've seen some people and I don't know if it's just one of these like oh I'm different type takes.

38:35I have seen quite a few Spurs fans being like, I'd take Ruben Amarim at Tottenham. The guy was an absolute disaster at United. And I know United are a bit of a bin fire, but come on.

38:50Thiago Mota. I didn't even realise he was... Igor Tudor. Igor Tudor, that's apparently, isn't it, who Peretti wanted us to bring in back in like November or something. Walter Mazzari, decent enough gaffer, isn't he? But I don't know, he's a new bit of a nutter as well.

39:12Edin Terzic, that's the guy that lots of people really, I see that name come up a lot. An old sort of, I think he's an old Dortmund manager. I think there's like a, from my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong, but Edin Terzic, there's a bit of the like anges about him, I think. I think it's all very like blood and, wait, blood and thunders Nazi, isn't it? what is it like hail and i don't know whatever it is the good thing throwing caution to the wind and everything he's you know i don't know sam allardyce he's only 71 sam allardyce you all fancy that i would like to be fair and if you are watching nathan i don't mean this in a nasty way i'm just saying like nathan kish and the lads there's a there's a part of me there's like a horrible chaos embracing part of me that we'd love to see head spinning head spinning in those kind of quarters if we brought in sam allardyce it would yeah there's something about that that would be a fairly quite funny in a way um it's greesby says the only conclusion i've come to is that the media love frank because he's got spurs back to where they think we belong he's too weak to stand up to any of them like ang did you know i don't think that's the worst thing i've seen posited it is all very like you know come on spurs be humble sit down you know sit down be quiet now you had your little cup and that's fine okay ryan andrew says uh a harsh red but romero should have known better he's got a bad reputation already and after his comments this week all the attention was on him stupid to give the ref the opportunity i think that is fair enough to a degree i think it It does kind of, all I'm saying is, I don't entirely dismiss what you're saying because I do think there is something in that.

41:17I do think it's also easy to forget that this stuff is happening in an instant on a football pitch, right? We all obviously get to sit around and reflect on it after the fact, but, you know.

41:35Joseph G says, reality check. We're 14th in the league, three points off 17th. The acceptance of averageness from Enix speaks volumes. This is not high performance. Frank out, Winnie the Pooh in. Yeah, it's not high performance, is it? Jake Humphries this week posted a thing on LinkedIn.

42:02And it was one of those things that you honestly couldn't have paid me to reveal what it is that he was talking about he so he i think his kid goes to the same secondary school that he used to go to or something but he was like and it's you know it's quite vulnerable i'm not making fun of a guy for being vulnerable to be fair as much as everyone likes to make fun of jake humphries but he basically was like almost in tears talking about how powerful and how much of an impact it has on him going back to the secondary school that he was horrifically bullied in and he regaled this story about him either being like they were getting they're basically getting changed to pe and i can't remember i think they sort of you'll think he was like half naked or they took his pants off or something and some of the bullies carried him outside and locked him in like they threw him out of the changing room and put him into the playground completely naked and wouldn't let him back in um and you know it's just like you know his whole thing was just like and then look where i've come to from there don't let bullies stop you kind of thing which you know if he didn't have such form for self-aggrandizement I don't know.

43:30I don't really know why I've gotten onto this, but it's just, it was quite a lot, I would say. Yeah, high performance. Bingai says, we ran out of excuses. Oliver Lilywhite says, Diallo made the exact same challenge 10 minutes later and maybe got a yellow. I don't know. I don't even think he did get booked. And yeah, United were kicking lumps out of us. Was it the challenge on Xavi Simons later on? Because I saw like minutes after the Romero read, there was a rough tackle on Xavi Simons and I don't think it even got a book in. I don't think it got anything. Yeah, annoying. Patrick Longson, just showing you, I'm not in an echo chamber here.

44:16Patrick Longson says, Romero doesn't deserve the captaincy. Today he epitomized the word disgrace. I've been defending him for months, but that's me done. He needs to be sold. Strangely, I'm leaning back to Frank Inn. I mean, that took a turn at the end there, Patrick. I'm not going to lie, mate. But, you know, somebody's going to have to pay up for Christian Mermere if they want him. You know, that's sort of a long and short of it, isn't it? Really, that's kind of how it is on that one. Will they? I don't know. I don't know if they will. he's going to cost a lot. And I don't think, you know, leaving or not, I don't think they're going to want to sell Romero.

45:00And I don't really think they should. He's 27 years old. He's got like a four or five year contract at Spurs. He is, whatever anybody wants to say, he is probably still one of the most talented defenders going in, you know, when he fancies it.

45:17I would say Spurs, I don't think it would be a tall order for Spurs to sort of, want to have more than you know 60 mil at least for him i don't know who pays that maybe real madrid if they fancy it don't think atletico can afford that um i don't think many other lilly can barca i don't know do barca even want him i don't know

45:46matthew g nelson says cheers tottenham pleasure doing business review appreciate the three points thanks for the thanks for the nice night in Europe a few months ago Matthew I very much enjoyed the trophy parade

46:04it's I would say it's a startling sign of where Manchester United are now compared to you know a few years back that you are reveling in Manchester United being Spurs and coming into a Tottenham stream on your Saturday afternoon you know that's that's all i'd say that's all i'd say to that um c nor says i don't even know how much it's even on frank at this point he's got the injury crisis and chad and a new manager can't fix this until april when the players are back it's a wasted season uh i think you can blame frank to a degree because he keeps setting us up in this weird way Like, this tinkering, I think the over, you know, the overcomplication, wait, overly complicated, whatever.

46:53He overly complicates everything, doesn't he? Doesn't he? I know, I'm there in the team talks. Hacker CPS says, I honestly think we need a study done on the injuries and inevitably sue the PGML for not protecting the players. I mean, it is kind of mad, mate. Like, we sort of, you know, we talk about the amount of games and all this type of stuff that players have to play, and it's pretty mad.

47:26Ricochet Pig. Hello, old friend. You didn't answer me last time as well when I asked you where the name Ricochet Pig comes from. Ricochet Pig, maybe a harsh red, but not a scandalous one, so we shouldn't put this result on the ref. yeah I don't I don't think it's scandalous I don't think it's gonna I was you know maybe a bit dramatic in the moment on Twitter but I uh yeah yeah I get what you're saying um also at this point if you are watching this on YouTube please please do me a favor and just drop it a like right now um also if you're listening to this podcast and there's probably been an advert break or maybe even two by now and you thought, grr, I liked this guy, but I don't like that the flow gets interrupted by bloody adverts all the time.

50:31Oh, that's an interesting one. Binny Guy says, our players are not really hurt. They don't want to commit. That's it. Besides, it's good for the owners because they don't want to pay them while not playing. I mean, that's a conspiracy, sir. There's certainly a theory. I haven't read it yet but Jack Pitbrook has written something about Dajan Kulusevsky basically being like what's going on there I would like to read that I would like to know what's going on because it seems kind of weird doesn't it? It seems kind of weird that we're still sort of sat around waiting for Kulusevsky wondering sort of what's up with him what he's doing I don't know oh what ricochet pig said that um bruno also hit 200 goal contributions today it's a start reminder what with it we could assign if it ended up with well we ended up with you said gedson instead but we actually ended up with loselso instead um but yeah potter's first choice was bruno fernandez bruno fernandez wanted to come to spurs and by all accounts we just wouldn't we wouldn't pay the the wages that he wanted to be paid so there we go

51:47a lot of people saying that we basically you know we're just excuses fc that's the same thing so we are ian says after last week i relaxed about the threat of relegation but it's back in spades now and several people are agreeing with that which yeah i i kind of feel that again now um chatting on the uh oh god what's going on now something in the premier league what uh yeah so west ham 2-0 up at the moment just as we're speaking after 25 minutes west ham are 2-0 up which they smell blood they smell blood don't they um Oh dear. It ain't looking good, Brev. It ain't looking good.

52:40Lucas Tate says, Captain Romero strikes again. What a bloody idiot. Wouldn't be surprised if we go unbeaten in the next four Prem games without the, quotation marks, best centre-back in the league. Don't know, we'll see. to dare is too risky says cootie out for four games we really are in a relegation battle and the club didn't bother to bring in reinforcements yep liam wilson says under poch we had a brilliant first team but the dropping quality to the bench and squad was obvious that's what we have now a squad full of players who really should not be first team players a large i think a lot yeah i I think that's true for a large amount of them.

53:24How many of these players do we, and I'm being genuine here, genuine here, how many of the players that we currently have, and don't reduce it to their actual individual attributes, I'm just talking about their overall level, if you get what I mean. Like, how many of the players that we have now are, say, miles above the second string of the Pochettino era? When we talk Ben Davis, when we talk Kieran Trippier, Kevin Wimmer you know like are we are we miles above player for player that sort of standard

54:05I don't know if we are uh whatever he is 36 35 36 year old Ben Davis often steps in now and you know people don't like to hear it but I think generally looks like one of our better players whenever he does I mean he probably won't ever again so you know we don't have to have that culture war anymore but you know it's i don't know

54:31cnor says next year is massive mad as deki kudos solanke xavi and hopefully some big incomings in the summer lots of the potential but this season is such a write-off i mean look that you know that is true like when you look at that when you look at the sort of players that we do have coming back into the fold it is quite ridiculous you know it genuinely is quite ridiculous some of the talent that we are missing right now and what we could have going forwards

55:03we just got to stay in the premier league haven't we because you know not all of those players stay if we go down and do all of those players stay anyway i don't know um but things things could look very different this time next year we could have a new manager we could have a large amount of those players fit and firing some new signings in there as well and suddenly things you know kick on things change really quickly in football but right now it's really really hard to see that and it's really, really hard to see that with Thomas Frank as our gaffer, in my opinion.

55:43Christopher Hall says, every side that beats us doesn't have to be very good. Yeah, I think that's a fair point. Third time in 13 months, we've gone seven games without a win, which hadn't happened in the previous 16 years. Get this cretin out of the job. Ridley82 says, we're stuck. Frank won't leave. the players appear angry we have an injury list longer than anyone's the board made big statements when levy went but have gone quiet since the fans are annoyed yeah it's basically summed it up all pretty nicely haven't they

56:29ricochet pig also says the cost of not reinforcing could be astronomical how does that level of risk make financial sense to the board it's almost as if they don't know that relegation exists it does to a degree and yeah look i i you know i don't know the numbers i just floated when i was talking to phil the other day that maybe there's a horrible businessy voice in the background somewhere saying it'll actually cost us more to panic by now than relegation might if we go down and come back up the next year. It's parachute payments and all that type of thing, right? Yeah. T-Pace Coist says, we get Lee Dixon in the States.

57:15Mate, that's horrific, isn't it?

57:22And then Leslie says, McCoy is an absolute cliche-ridden cliche. yeah i i honestly i cannot stand him mate i cannot stand the bloke i really can't stand him jack 1906 says romero's wasn't even that bad of a tackle i agree you know i said it at the top i i really do agree um ian 3415 says the thought of being replaced by wrexham just hit home Jesus can you imagine that's gonna be a circus isn't it when they come up as well if they do

58:00I don't know well here's an interesting one JM12VV says afternoon Jack are you a pork crackling man I'm not really you know I'm not actually despite my outward appearance I'm not actually that much of a pork man for any like religious purpose or anything like that. I just, I don't really love it. I don't really love it. And I also, it's tinged with a lot of guilt because pigs are really smart. Pigs are really, really clever. They're really, really smart. It's kind of, I don't know. You hear lots of stories of them knowing that they're, you know, about to be slaughtered and trying to escape and stuff in it.

58:43I don't know. See also octopus, octopi, octopus, octopi. They're incredibly, incredibly intelligent creatures. Incredibly intelligent. One of my old mates used to say to me, though, not so clever that they don't end up on my dinner plate, though. So, you know.

59:08Andy Years says, Frank is not the problem. Here we go. Wild how people cannot see that. The players are simply not good enough, and strength and depth is non-existent. You cannot put that result on him. I think you can put lots of results on him though. I think you can put the way he sets up all the time. Why does he play three at the back when you know Manchester United have got the sort of attacking unit that they do, that they're going to be able to exploit the same pockets of space that are afforded to them that Manchester City did the week before? They set the template for that. you know Frank is not an inspiring dude ultimately I don't see him go into these press conferences and and lead the charge really you know all it is is conceding that it's difficult it's saying that we're going to lose games it's you know I don't think you can pretend that that stuff doesn't bleed down to the players I think I think you can comfortably say that a lot of this is on him mate you know from if I'm being brutally honest

1:00:18Henry Sabini says I'm done with Romero he's a disgrace read all day long

1:00:30Ian said as it stands with six points off the drop and West Ham are hitting form this is horrible Roberto Camp says Jack I think you vastly overrate Romero I don't I don't, I don't agree with you there, mate, in the respect that like, I think I, I often point out that he is, you know, he is culpable for things on the pitch, shall we say. But I do think he's, you know, I think he's, he's talented. And a lot of it's about image as well, isn't it? Right. You know, Argentine star, Tottenham captain, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all that type of stuff. And he is young. and when he is good we're often good you know that's kind of the you know i think that i've not drawn up a chart or anything but i would say off the top of my head there's probably a correlation there court says six points off the job i'd feel more confident with big sam keeping us up compared to this clown i can't believe the board have just let us sleepwalk into this situation yeah ample sample says will there be a relaxation patreon level where we can just listen to whale sands and forget about this mess i mean i could do more of the i have been meaning to do more of the sporkle stuff did a bit of sporkle stuff a while back i'm not gonna lie right didn't boom do you know i mean i didn't become a viral sensation with it but it did seem to appeal to quite a niche audience and most of you know most of all i quite enjoyed doing it so So I might do something like that.

1:02:08But I'll put it on my YouTube anyway. It won't just be on Patreon. I get that you were sort of having a joke there. Thomas Mullen says, this team and manager are in free fall. Spurs' problem is that we bought English first division players, but that's where they're going. Yeah.

1:02:32the united guy is uh one game away from a haircut happy for him you know the duty says that was an interesting one and people arguing about thomas frank in the in the comments i'll sort of leave him to that it's quite interesting though um trey for trey for ball 3603 says i was thinking about problems It's not a red, but all the pundits going red, red, red, red, red. So I thought it must be. Thanks for suggesting an orange. And yep, Romero was in the public eye that did it. Yeah, yeah.

1:03:11C. Norquoise says, big moves needed this summer. A number six, left winger, another top striker. Do not keep Mwani. I don't think we'll keep Mwani, will we? I don't think we will.

1:03:28gareth day says of all the abysmal results and performances this is the one least on frank um but despite the game being even beforehand we still stoically avoided passing forwards i don't know it's just it's really it's just really annoying is it yeah west ham are still is it still 2-0 so what's going on Villa Villa are winning Arsenal are winning Chelsea are winning who are they playing 3-0 away at Wolves Fulham are winning 7th in the table beating Everton I don't know who have Palace got next Palace Brighton so yeah that'll be that'll be tasty won't it what have Leeds got Oh, Leeds won 3-1 yesterday.

1:04:22Great. But they beat Forest, so every cloud.

1:04:30Oh, man. I mean, at least we got it out of the way, right? At least we got that one out of the way. We can enjoy the rest of our weekends now. Can we not? Can we not do that? Are we not allowed to do that? I think we are allowed to do that from this point. Yeah. Spurs lose again. Ain't looking good. Injuries, red cards. It's really quite frustrating, isn't it? It's really quite frustrating. And, yeah. I don't know. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Like I say, patreon.com. If you want.

1:05:15Come on, you Spurs, I guess. All right, is that what we do?
