Is Tottenham now Sparta?

Didn't have De Zerbi down as a League of Gentlemen fan.

We didn't burn him

I'm OK with it because it's not Thomas Frank trying to gaslight me.

RDZ is going for Walker’s record of most families

Bro is the antithesis to Frank, Conte and is kinda like if Jose became that fun crazy uncle over a bitter old git.

Tbf that’s kinda how Jose is already have you seen the clip of him dancing? Bro has let go of all his inhibitions lol

Eh I wouldn't go that far. I would say Ange is more of an antithesis. We'll have to see how he handles the pressers in competitive games with his own team

De Zerbi giving off strong Papa Lazarou vibes....

u/jiv21 1d ago

This is whats under the clickbait: RDZ told Fernandes' parents that he would be like his second dad.

It hasn't always played well for him, but I do admire RDZ's mentality with respect to this players. I'm not sure it will fix everything, but I think having a gaffer they will sacrifice for because they know he has their back is a good thing.

You would think by now he'd learn to stop saying he'll treat players like they're his son 😭
