Poch has been doing that galaxy brain kind of stuff with the cups the last couple of season though. It's dumb, and he obviously wouldn't be saying it if they were getting through semi-finals.

Really it won't all fall apart until they go out vs Dortmund. If they don't get through that tie (which by all rights they probably shouldn't without Kane and Dele), then it's probably going to be a pretty bad period.

The club aren't the ones labeling the Wolves match this, thankfully, but this is still stupid poo poo from the people paying ticket resellers those prices.

This isn't quite on the level of the 2007 Champions League Final victory bus.

The bus is funny out of context, but unless you're just going to have a plain red bus if you win you pretty much have to do it in advance, it's just that nobody took a photo of the Arsenal - Champions Of Europe bus before Juliano Belletti set fire to it

That said, this does not mean that I'm not working on an excellent "biggest bust since Lucie Wilde" joke to release into the wild in late March

“I never feel the pressure,” Pochettino said. “Even in the difficult moments, I haven’t felt the pressure. I have a good relationship with Daniel [Levy, the chairman] and he has never put pressure on me to get a trophy.”

Pochettino in 2015 before the league cup final against Chelsea. He's consistent.

The better version of this was the suggestion that Rafa should stop complaining and pay for transfers out of his own pocket.

Joe Kinnear and it was Shane Ferguson, now at Millwall

Xisco wasn’t as bad a player as he’s made out to be, he was offered an insane amount of money relative to his skill which nobody would ever pass up and immediately thrust into an environment with galactic levels of toxicity, scored on his debut and basically never played again. He didn’t complain in the media though and saw out his contract until about 5 months before it expired when they just paid him out. He wasn’t PL by any stretch but he’s been decent in the second divisions and tore up Thailand (this is a euphemism)
