Tudor needs to stop the boat analogies fast or we'll go down like the Mary Rose. #COYS
To be fair, we now have all County matches, all Minor County matches and indeed most club matches, often even down to junior matches, screened on YouTube.
But I get your point completely - that doesn't make up for it.
Wow.
Is it tho? Is it really?
Wheelchair curling is 'like chess on ice' - BBC News share.google/zh6ug7zA8ffd...
Maybe the people who make jokes at our expense are onto something - we really should pivot to medicine. #COYS
It's everyone else's fault, but Scott Munn's. #COYS
I'm not saying Vinai is to blame for all this, but I would like to know what's said in his yearly review - what exactly have been his successes? What KPIs has he hit?
Because as a fan it's difficult to see from the outside how he's affected the club at all. Except to prolong the Frank agony.

It's a chess funny:
Something like "horizon planning," I expect.
I'd certainly like to know what Vinai's done right since he took up his post.
So no new manager bounce, then. #COYS
Well, at least we had equal possession for that 5 minutes. #COYS
Yes, but Charles is the law!
RIP GM Jan Timman.
I was thinking Greensleeves...
Going to the Arsenal match dressed like this. #COYS
So, Igor Tudor it is.
With any luck our next 6 results will be:
-Drawed
-Beheaded
-Died
-Drawed
-Beheaded
-SURVIVED
#COYS
It would be classic Spurs to lurch from the calm of Frank to the crazy of De Zerbi. #COYS
New manager, please. #COYS
I hope he's all-white.
FIDE president Arkady Dvorkovich is reportedly on the next EU sanctions list.
The list will be published on February 24.
Huge implications for chess if it happens.
And how many Russian?
Or... with Arsenal's league position, we don't have the luxury of winning this game.
Tomorrow is now a must-lose game for us. #COYS
The struggle is real in Marlow, Bucks.
Their quality is not in question. They have shown their quality on bigger stages than Spurs.
Their costs reflects that.
What doesn't equate to quality is current form - the current form you mistakenly cite as supporting your point.
The front line is a ยฃ60m striker, a French international, a ยฃ50m Dutch international AM, two French u21s, a ยฃ60m RW, not to mention the injured Deki and Maddison.
The club has invested heavily.
"Relegation quality" it is not. "Relegation form" is more accurate, and that is down to Frank.
The squad isn't where we want it to be, but is it a squad of relegation battlers?
Absolutely not.
Frank is underperforming in the league at the moment and there's no getting away from it.
Performing miracles? Don't be silly. He must improve.
Does he have to?
Or is that just convention.
Excellent read. Symptomatic of a problem in many walks of life, but especially clear in football.
Ultimately, this approach sucks the life and soul out of football.
Probably the worst effect of our current malaise is the growing feeling of apathy. This is a new thing.
