A UCL final is greater than any achievement they had in mind when they signed Poch.
Arsenal fans still talk about that season they got to the UCL final. It’s a great experience.
They did this whole beating Inter Milan, Trashing Dortmund, Beating Man City, then Ten Haag’s Ajax.
This is a Tottenham team that was struggling for Europa spots before Poch came in.

Before Wenger how successful were Arsenal? Yet Wenger was fired when he couldn't meet the objectives of the club so, stop over hyping Poch...Spurs have won more than 10 trophies (I think it's 17) in their history so stop sounding like Poch did a Ranieri with Spurs...

ChristoBam:
How about we offer to make Luis Enrique one of the highest paid managers in the world. Combined with a long project at United.

No chance of it happening, he is more interested in leading Spain to the world cup...

ChristoBam:
Lol Ajax dominated Chelsea? Lampard’s Chelsea beat Ajax at home last season by a lone goal. More shots and more shots on target.

Edited. You’re talking about the 4-4 thriller.

Yeah, the game they were undone by 2 red cards...

ChristoBam:
Once Ten Haag gets the job, unlike with Ole. I’ll back him 100%. Just scared of a level of disaster we’d definitely not get with Poch.

At worst Poch will get us competing at good levels. Get us top 4. Play good football.
At best, gets us competing for the league and t the UCL.

At worst, Ten Haag lose his job before the end of the season after a lot of disaster results. We could get absolutely dismantled against decent sides. Patience runs out and we lose important players.

At best, Ten Haag gets us playing beautiful football while competing for league titles.

The bias no be here...

ChristoBam:
When did Ajax dominate this sides you’re listing? Still on that season Abi?

Btwn you’re talking about possession and all abi? Remember our Europa league final against Ajax? They absolutely dominated us. And that was under a very average manager.

Ajax vs Chelsea was not that season...

ChristoBam:
What’re you saying? They appointed a good manager that took them above and beyond where they dreamt at that point. Regular top 4 was the first step. Then UCL final.

Another thing is we were linked with Poch even before that UCL final thing.

Ten Haag hype is all about that UCL run.

Were you not the one that said you want him not even because of his league form but because of his achievements in Europe. Apart from that semi final, I can’t see any achievements in Europe.

You deliberately choose to misunderstand me, definitely...I said I rate Erik ten Hag courtesy of the performance of his team in Europe when up against the big guns because you were attempting to limit his successes in the Eredivisie to the fact that Ajax are the biggest team over there...

I have watched his team against Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Bayern etc and not for once were they dominated...They gave as good as they got in the worst of their performance and in other cases completely dominated the team Poch will cowardly park the bus against...

ChristoBam:
Poch built a stable team. Don’t make it sound like he met a stable team. He built that team from the scratch with minimal spending. Built it to a level they considered themselves among the top dogs.

He spent over €440m between 2014 - 2019 but couldn't win nothing...How is the quoted amount minimal in any sense? Don't forget that he didn't lose his best players every season yet he couldn't win a trophy at Spurs...

Poch like Rodgers is a good coach but there's a limit to what he can offer...

At what point do Tottenham raise the bar abi they should sleep on the fact that they struggled for a long stretch before Poch?

It's like Atletico, for all of Simeone's good works, he will be booted out if they fall below the standard that is now expected of them...

Do you think Leicester will accept another season of struggle after this one? They'll quickly show Rodgers the door regardless of his impressive results with them in the past couple of seasons.

What Poch had going for him is that he was able to keep his best players whilst ETH didn't and does not have such luxury...

ChristoBam:
Real Madrid has won more La liga titles than Barca has. But in the last 20 years, Barca has won the league 10 times. That points to a real serious competition between them. It’s in no way similar with that of Ajax and PSV and I’m sure you know this.

In the last 20 years, Ajax and PSV have each won 8 Eredivisie titles so, what's your argument about?

ChristoBam:
Europa league final!! That’s not high level?
Apart from that UCL run, what has he done in Europe.

Got knocked out of the UCL group stage last season. Dropped to the Europa league. Got knocked out at the round of 32.
Season before that, got knocked out of the UCL group stage. Dropped to the Europa final. Got knocked out of the Europa Quater finals.
This season, knocked out of the Round of 16 by Benfica.

Where’s the highest level?

His team is quite young and their inexperience tells however, they play fantastic football. If not that they can't keep their Starr players after every 1-2 seasons, they'd have been one of the best teams in the world...

Come summer, the big teams will circle around their best players and they have to start all over again.

Poch had a stable team in Tottenham for the good part of their respective prime but won nothing even when other smaller teams managed to win a trophy or two...

ChristoBam:
You know when we say Bayern is the biggest in Germany, it’s different from when you say Man utd is the biggest in England.

The gap between Ajax and PSV is so wide.

Ajax have won the Dutch Eredivisie 35 times while PSV have won it 24 times and Feyenoord, 15 times...HOw is it so wide? This season, PSV are a couple of points behind Ajax...

If I go by your logic, Real Madrid have won the Spanish La Liga 34 times and are well on their way to winning another one while Barca haves won it 26 times...Does it mean Madrid don't have any competition domestically?

Poch is like Rodgers, they can only take you to a particular level after which everything stagnates before going down hill...

ChristoBam:
Didn’t we play them in the Europa league final like a year before Ten Haag got appointed?

Europa league? Highest level? Lol...

ChristoBam:
Yeah, the biggest Club in Netherlands by a mile was rebuilt after losing so many players. Shocking!

And you mean the beautiful football that has been existent years before Ten Haag got there?

When last did Ajax compete at the highest level before Erik ten Hag?

Are we not the biggest club in the EPL? Of course we are so, why have we not rebuilt if it's as easy as you are making it sound?

ChristoBam:
I’m not shouting Poch. I prefer him over Ten Haag. Ten Haag shouldn’t even be considered to me. My feeling about him got worse since that UCL. Cuz what’s that whole hype about? Is it not that single good season at the UCL?

It's about the quality of football his team plays and the fact that he built a great squad, lost most of them to bigger clubs yet has built another squad capable of challenging the very best...

ChristoBam:
Na United fans go ruin this club last last. Checked Ten Haag's European record recently? We're basically clamouring for him based on false notions.

Naso dem shout Ole Ole Ole.

And you're shouting Poch not like you're clamoring for Pep or Klopp...

Itsrm:
Your opinion is noted but this is a discussion for UCL quarterfinalists.

Guy you are wicked...

Arsenal will make top 4, they know how to beat the small teams we struggle against...

[[b][/b]quote author=patrickmuf post=111137173] All world powers rely on their nuclear arsenal as deterrent.

Talking about modern equipments, I guess you have not heard of the Su-35, Mig - 35 and the latest Su-57 which is a fifth generation fighter jet...Russia has a lot of modern weaponry.

If you think Putin will deploy them in Ukraine then your assumption is wrong. Putin is not about occupying Ukraine, he just want to set them back by 20 years and he is well on his way to achieving that...

Did he also want to set his own country back 20 years because that’s what he did. The Russian economy is in shambles and their currency is almost worthless but you’re saying that this was part of his strategy?

We're all feeling the effects of the sanctions, will you attribute it to the plan of the West?

How much is gas in Europe? Or let's do local, how much is diesel?

Europe is not ready to make do without gas from Russia so the sanctions will be felt across board...

B2Bmen:
spoke man and special adviser to putting on military affairs have spoken. All this mallam abi aboki self!!! Them can dream out of point enh. America will continue to rule over your assh not even 1million putting can stop that.

It's a pity that at this age, you think everyone that supports Russia is a muslim...

KaluwisxPRO:
Even before the War, Russia is still 20years back compared to Ukraine. Nothing in Russia has progressed beyond Soviet Era.

How many of those Jets are on their stocks? Provide data proof. Putin that we all know will showcase whatever arsenal he has in stock.

Mad man showed us Zircon hypersonic missile that is 2years from final production, went quickly to mention the use of Nuclear weapon, but he’s keeping his modern tanks and APC for Zombies to help him market

4 Generals in 4weeks, over 12k dead Russian soldiers, whole150k troops at start of invasion disoriented, begging China for drones, Recruiting 16k Syrian Terrorists, Russian central bank Governor resigned, sacked whole 1k personal staff, detained his own general, gagging the press, purposely shelling civilians, hospital, kids schools.

But you bunch of mad men still think this is the man with any more modern war chest that they’re keeping somewhere.

I see you can't hold a convo without exposing your lack of proper upbringing...

Benny6944:
Of course they might that's the only strength they have. Its now obvious that Russia only have just military numbers not strength. Take it or leave it, their first plan failed when they lied about Ukraine having a biological bombs labs, in order to be used against the Ukrainians, Right now they wanna go nuclear.. haha.. Putin is a coward. He has 75% of his arms at Ukraine still can't take them down in 3 weeks.. 4 of his general died, 9 commanders also.. lol.. very shameful.

Apart from USA playing by the rules, Russia can never challenge USA..

If WWWIII starts today, you and I will surfer it most, not even the world leaders, but take it or leave, Russia will be wipped off from this planet. how many countries can they take down with their nuclear??

Or is it with those 1940s and 50s jet fighters they have will be able to take out Any NATO country hahaha very funny..

USA ONLY NEEDS 20% OF ITS ARMS TO BRING DOWN WHOLE OF RUSSIA

Beer parlor analysis...

KaluwisxPRO:
There’s nothing from the Kremlin that has been honest, everything Putin has said, he has done the opposite. You can tell me one honest truth from the Kremlin with proofs and data of Russian stocks of modern weapons, we’re here to learn.

We all know Us has a policy not to showcase their nuclear arsenal for obvious reasons, they’re not in the art of deterrence or show of power, even against the so called Russian federation.

Putin

[/code][code]

put his Zircon that is nowhere near use on display, but cannot display his modern equipments, he’s quick to go Nuclear, but cannot make same threat with sight of any modern equipments? How much more gullible can any of you guys get?

Skimpledawg:
Patrickmuf, first of all, how's your health sir? Trust you are improving and doing well.

Do you want to allow your fellow scumrades go away with trolling you when Messi acted as an external invigilator last week?

No sir. We will not take it sir.

I'm good bro...

I can't troll my team. You only see me get involved when they come here with their ridiculous takes...

I'll leave them to lick their wounds in hope that they now understand that you only begin to troll when your house is in order. Reading from them last week, you'd think Ronaldo and Manchester United were already in the Quarters...

By the way, have you seen that Manchester United fan that claims he isn't a fan of Messi or Ronaldo? He led the banter session last week but now Ronaldo is out of the competition, he is nowhere to be found. When I call him a Ronaldo fanboy he will swear he isn't one...

Leyqute, are you not going to troll Ronaldo? Or na just Messi dey sweet you to banter?

Thank God o!

Match day...

Rashford shouldn't start abeg...

I hope McTom is fit sha because we need him in that midfield alongside Fred and Bruno...I wouldn't mind if Pogba is played on the wings tonight...


Hopefully we go ahead and smash Atletico...GGMU

I don't know if it's the rest but Ronaldo was very active for the entirety of his stay on the pitch. At some point, I saw him at the LB position...Best game he has played since his return because away from the goals, he was very instrumental in holding up the ball, winning fouls, defending and helping us retain possession with his interplay...

Another player who impressed me was Fred, he covered a lot of ground and his timely passes forward helped us attack at speed...

Sancho is definitely close to his best, his on-pitch understanding with Ronaldo was a joy to watch...

Pogba and Rashford were not so good...

Eph12, yes he is on yellow...

eph12:
Is he on yellow already?

I think I heard the commentator say he has talked his way into a yellow.

Make I check am sha.

Abeg make Fred dey careful, a second yellow will be bad for us...

Someone who inherited wealth can be totally clean.

In this case, Chelsea is that someone you're referring to...

donjazet:
I have said it numerously and I'll say it again, Chelsea is not roman and Roman is not Chelsea, he's only but a custodian and part of it. Chelsea is an institution of more than 100 years. Here long before Roman and will be here long after him.

One can distinguish between both. Your call for me to boycott the club will be valid IF the situation continued. If with my awakening, the situation continued, then there is grounds for me to personally boycott, but the fact that the club is on its path to redemption, that we'll be done with the criminal very soon is grounds for optimism.
Hopefully we find a good , non-killer, law abiding billionaire. One in the mould of Elon musk or Bill gates or one with inherited billions.

Is there any law abiding billionaire?

You are asking for something that's non-existent...
