Putting the Arsenal / Tottenham rivalry aside for a moment, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium does look Impressive. I do like Classic football Stadiums, Villa Park, Anfield, etc. The Roof Walk looks impressive, as does the F1 section.
I've seen that the Stadium has the largest Club Store in the World, and the largest Digital Display Screen for an Atrium?

Yeah biggest fanstore too, he put emphasis on so many things that they're the biggest in. It was quite sad.

Ange wont get sacked unless they are in serious trouble in the league. They will back him in the next windows because they want to build their team up again.

Like United they'll finish midtable, and continue their rebuilding into next season.

Would seem unfair to sack him especially when they won the league last September


I remember watching these scenes and felt like putting my foot through the tv but seeing as I was at my sister's house I thought better of it.

Last time I tried that at my parents, I was banned from attending Arsenal matches there for the remainder of the season.

My father, in a spectacularly petty move, said the ban didn't extend to other matches from the PL, Serie A, La Liga or our local league :lol:

No, he'll get sacked when they're tossed out of the cup.

I went to the Sp**s stadium for a tour yesterday with my mate, also an Arsenal fan. Put our Arsenal-scarf in the bag, which was searched, the security guy laughed a little. During the tour of their stadium, which tbf is great on the inside, I had the opportunity to make my own best eleven ever for Sp**s.

I couldn't select Sol Campbell so I gave up.

We started at their trophies, and it was such a small room with an FA Cup from 1901 and so on. The lad giving the tour was bragging about records like they were the first and only non-league team to win the FA Cup. Also they supposedly have the biggest bar and the biggest tv screen. The entire tour screamed inferiority complex.
It gives me great joy that their last manager to win a trophy for them is an Arsenal legend.

I know that George Graham won the 1999 League Cup Final, as Tottenham Hotspur manager. Guess he didn't play the 'Tottenham Way', was sacked sometime after. That's Gratitude for you.

Tottenham League Cup win in 1999.

This League Cup win must have felt more pleasing for George. The 1993 win, plus we had the Bonus of winning the FA Cup in the same season, playing Sheffield Wednesday in both Cup Finals.
Believe that Arsenal were the first team to win both the FA and League Cups, in the same season.

If I recall correctly, Tottenham's last Cup win was the 2009 League Cup? Wasn't ex Gooner David Bentley playing for them?

I feel they just need to put 150m aside and sign 2-3 really top top players, and try to get their injuries back. They have enough youth, and solid players but lack elite quality.

Solanke, Gray, Kulsevski, Bergvall, Spence, van der Ven, Romero, Porro, Vicario - 9/11 they can go forward with but 2-4 quality players will give Ange enough to work with, put guys like Bissouma, Johnson, Richarlison, Son, Maddison, Bentancur on the bench. Much stronger building blocks than United who need much more.

Baleba, Cunha, Mbuemo, don’t need to take risks on overseas players they get in a group like this and they can challenge for the title.
I am a self-confessed Angelo-sexual but even I have trouble seeing this same level of potential as a few other posters currently. I am sure they are in the very large minority.

I don’t rate any of their players as elite, and don’t think Gray or Bergvall are as good as people make them out. Like Gray has Ben White potential, not elite physically but good versatility. Passing overrated for now.

But they really do need 150m further investment. With guys like Ange and Klopp they need durable physical forwards rotating and competing because the pace is frantic for them. High IQ with physicality, the goals will come.

Ange is indeed similar to Klopp, in that he wants to constantly bombard teams with attack and that is their way of defending.

He thus needs high energy players to be able to run all game, attack and defend consistently. This is why they were after players like Conor Gallagher and Morgan Rogers in the summer.

If I were Ange, I would add Klopp's direct play to Angeball, the direct ball from the back to front, attacking space in behind, but also having the benefit of an entire team behind the ball to defend any return ball and assist with the counter pressing if the ball is lost higher up.

Angeball can work, but it needs to be more varied in its approach and needs investment.

They ended up with Johnson, Solanke and that guy from Burnley as attackers - they spend a fair amount of money but doesnt seem they can attract the better more established talent like Arsenal with that money.

It's deliberate, other than Solanke it's all kids. Seems more like a gamble to stumble upon the next star than any meaningful squad building.

Maybe Levy is just waiting to put Ange on his place, sacking him before a cup final like he did to Mourinho.
 

Arsenal Quotes

In 1997/98 we became English champions as I had set myself three missions to carry out which I felt were essential. One: to have an impact on the result and the team's playing style. Two: to foster the player's individual development. Three: to strengthen the structure of the club and enhance its global influence.
