StevO Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Anyone watch the Spurs doc on Amazon? Jose telling his players that nice guys never win. It’s true. We were always really nice under Moyes, no one complained, the refs liked us (not enough to give us decisions) and we were everyone else’s favourite other club while being walked over. I hated that shit. While we were the nice club, Chelsea and United were picking up trophies all over the place with a team full of nasty bastards shouting at the refs and bullying their opponents. It’s competitive sport, take every advantage and intimidate the opposition. It’s a shame Coleman hasn’t done more of this through his career, he used to when McCarthy was around. Whenever things got aggressive you would see McCarthy and Coleman running in there. Im rambling on now. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came into a side that was 14th, Erikson wanted out and arguably their 3 best players were injured at some point and finished 6th. Can see why he's such an accomplished manager...and why he tends to wear out his welcome eventually. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho is one of the greatest managers of the modern era, if you're impressed with his work with Spurs then you should read up about his time with FC Porto, relative minnows on the European side of things and took them all the way (infamously knocking out Manchester United in the process). The way in which he did it was unbelievable in every sense of the word, a triumph that will haunt Benfica (their rivals) forever as they allowed him to resign from them before moving to Leira & Porto. His time at Chelsea was when he was at his peak, a truly unstoppable manager that told you what he wanted to do, how he was going to do it and then went out and did it. People overlook his time with Inter too, due him being there for just 12 months but again took them all the way to Champions League glory, despite being outsiders when the tournament kicked off. He's arguably done now, but his recent tenures should not overlook that at his peak he was probably the best manager on the planet.

It's nothing like that analogy at all. Gibbs was saying he'd "do it again" and Coleman was sticking up for his team. He's not being a shit-talking tough guy. If anything, Gibbs was.

Bailey Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 As others have said the gobshite in this was Gibbs. Poking someone in the face and then acting the hard man as they walked off the pitch. That's the type of shit I hate at any level of sport. Play hard and fair and any if you have an issue on the pitch once you get off it shake hands and move on. The number of brawls I have been in playing rugby and in less than a couple of hours later I am in the bar having a pint with the same guys that were trying to take lumps out of me.

Popular Post Aidan Posted September 27, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 "Seamus is a great example of a captain. I have a lot of captains in my career but Seamus has a lot of spirit and attitude and how he is able to explain his love for the shirt is really top." Asked where Coleman ranked alongside Ancelotti's captains at his previous clubs, he said: "He is a great captain, I cannot make a list but he is a great captain, honestly. Maldini, John Terry, Sergio Ramos, that kind of captain. " MikeO, markjazzbassist, AlbanyNYToffee and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo in his book talks about technical leaders and dressing room leaders. Baines is a technical leader, leading by example on the pitch, whilst someone like Coleman, Mina or Richarlison might be a leader in the dreasing room in the sense of a likable figure amongst his team mates and vocal.

markjazzbassist Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 back to coleman, it's clear he's up for it this year and still has gas/petrol left in the tank. i'm very happy about that. i do hope we can get a proper assessment of kenny and decide next summer if he will be able to take the reigns or if we need to buy another RB. nice to not have to worry about it for now.

Romey 1878 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Well, Moyes is a cockwomble, so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that he thinks a tinpot club like West Ham have a chance of taking a first teamer away from us.

Bailey Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Injured again on international duty. He seems like he is struggling to stay fit this season at our decision on the right back position might have to come sooner than expected. If this carries on we might need someone else in the side (assuming Kenny is deemed not to be good enough). Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His age seems to be catching up with him, he use to be an ever present now he’s becoming a bit of a sick note, sad really he’s been such a great servant for so many years, but I think you’re right Bailey we need to start looking for a solid replacement as with a couple more of our back line.

Popular Post SpartyBlue Posted February 11, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Has there ever been a player who more epitomized their club than Seamus Coleman? Scrappy, ambitious, full of desire, doesn’t take anything from the opposition. What a spark he was today. Just a bundle of energy. It’s a cliche in sports but he really does seem like a guy who would play for free. London Blue, Matt, MikeO and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Yeah he was excellent. I loved seeing him in the more advanced role. Reminded me of the year he was player of the year. Those mazy runs forward and attacking the box. If I was carlo i would use him to sub with James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
