profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Like I said, chance creation is not a problem. Having CBs who can’t defend is a problem. 5201
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I’m not worried about chance creation with this many new players. I’m worried about defending after selling good defenders and buying worse ones. 110
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This person comes out of nowhere to troll me with a quote post, I retaliate but better, and he blocks me. It’s like, if you don’t want that interaction, just be normal and don’t start it? I don’t get people. 5180
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 22/09/2026You think these guys were excited about the prospect of cultural enrichment, or were they just hypocrites celebrating the prospect of unearned cash stimulus before complaining about other clubs’ spending once they found out it doesn’t work that way? 190

profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Meanwhile Fernandes comes on and commits a standard foul and is immediately booked. Spurs got the first yellow of the match on the 5th team foul. Forest committed 22 fouls (!) in that match with just 2 yellows to Spurs' 2 yellows from 13 fouls. 1293
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 05/09/2026FT: A solid point away, even if we wanted 3. We created the better chances and really ought to have scored, but we also defended a lot better this time out. Tons of territory and touches in oppo box are good fundamental signs. Patience. 10854
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 29/08/2026You have to take your chances when you’re on top of the match and you have to get the call when you’re fouled in the box in a totally conventional way. 1361
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Interesting tidbit about Bergvall that reflects, I think, my concerns last season that Frank’s lack of ambition and in-possession ideas risked driving away our best talent. 4312

profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Ah yes, famously no unrestricted capitalism in the UK. 130
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 09/07/2026This is chastising. You think people don’t know what’s happening? So you condescend to the people with ‘i’m afraid you need to realize.’ Sorry, that’s offensive. You’re not just asking an innocent question, you’re lecturing people about their oppression. 000
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Haven’t looked into the model, but this is compatible with what I said earlier. But the gap between model prediction and outcome does t really come with an explanation here. Could just as well be explained by US overperformance vs weak teams and Belgian underperformance in the cup to that point. 210
profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 07/07/2026So today I walked a couple miles out of the way to a mall to pick up a mosquito net for my wife, who’s getting eaten alive, and in a wonderful surprise, right across from the mall is FC Porto’s stunning stadium. 4280

profspur @profspur.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Re. Bergvall looking to leave: I told you this would happen, and it's not simply about finishing 17th. In fact it wasn't an issue the first time we finished 17th. It's about unambitious football and incompetent leadership. profspur.substack.com/p/you-cant-h... 2233
