How Soon is Now for Ruben Amorim?

In December 1989, a banner was held up in the Stretford End at Old Trafford. It read:

“3 YEARS OF EXCUSES AND IT’S STILL CRAP… TA RA FERGIE.” It was cheered to the rafters by United fans fed up with poor results and boring football. The banner represented a general feeling that Ferguson was not the right man to lead Manchester United back to the promised land.  Had he walked away after that 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace not many would have mourned his exit. But history, as we now know, had other ideas. Ferguson stayed. Turned things around. And then some!

That moment feels uncomfortably relevant today.

Tottenham Fans’ Myth of the Glory Days

As their fans once again head into disgruntled meltdown, it’s hard to think of a fanbase more perpetually disillusioned — or deluded — than Tottenham Hotspur’s. A few months into Thomas Frank’s tenure and already the murmurs have begun: the football isn’t expansive enough, the style is too pragmatic, the “Tottenham way” apparently being betrayed once again.

The problem, of course, is that nobody can quite define what the Tottenham way actually is.

Are Liverpool the Worst Champions Since…Liverpool?

It feels like déjà vu at Anfield. A team crowned champions amid fanfare and self-congratulation now finds itself unravelling before our eyes. Back in 2020 Roy Keane called Klopp’s team “bad champions” for their limp title defence, now in 2025 Slots team look like emulating them. The parallels are impossible to ignore; arrogance creeping in, performances falling flat, and a manager showing flashes of the same frustration that preceded their collapse last time.
