I always notice the same pattern in gyms every single year between now and New Year…
Gyms slowly getting quieter and quieter between September-December before the traditional January influx.
Here’s why you shouldn’t stop going just because the summer is over 🧵
🚨Green Party Leader Zack Polanski Wants To Build A Society That Doesn’t Include Anyone From The Right
“There are people who identify as right wing or even far right… Do we think we can change their minds or is it a case of building a society that doesn’t include them?”
What the hell does Zack mean by this?
Tell us @ZackPolanski what do you have planned if you ever get into power?
Always the same.
Comments turned off so no one can dare challenge their opinion because if they did then they’d have to explain what’s fascist about this - which they cannot
Fascist Britain First in Manchester today. We have to unite to stop the threat of the far right.
Saturday 16 May come together to oppose fascist Tommy Robinson.
🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: Most of the Tottenham fans would rather lose to Manchester City today than win if that would mean that Arsenal would NOT win the Premier League title.
I find it ridiculously unselfish how Ange completely sacrificed his job for the better of Tottenham Hotspur.
A lot of managers talk about legacy. Ange acted on it.
He said it himself: finishing third wouldn’t change the football club — winning a trophy would. And that wasn’t a throwaway line. That was a declaration of intent.
Because league positions fade. Seasons blur together. But silverware rewires how a club sees itself.
What gets forgotten is that Ange told us exactly where this was going very early in his second season — back in September — when it didn’t look likely.
That’s when he said it.
“I don’t usually win things. I always win things in my second year.”
And when people laughed, mocked, clipped it up, and used it against him — he doubled down.
“People keep mocking me. We’ll see.”
He believed. In the club. In this squad. He instilled BELIEF into EVERYONE.
Because once you say that out loud, there’s no hiding. You either deliver — or you’re finished.
And he knew that.
From that moment on, everything made sense. The risks. The refusal to compromise. The willingness to take short-term pain for long-term meaning.
He wasn’t chasing survival. He was chasing destiny.
Even during the injury crisis — when half the squad was broken, when lineups looked improvised, when results swung — Ange never broke the message.
Same football. Same belief. Same demand.
But the part that made him different, the part that made people ride with him even when it hurt, is that he never threw the players under the bus.
Not once.
When it went wrong, he didn’t go into press conferences blaming players.
He took it.
He wore it.
He made himself the shield.
And that’s leadership, because players know when you’re using them as a ladder to save your own image.
Ange didn’t do that. He protected the group, backed them publicly, and kept the blame where it belongs — on the manager.
And that’s exactly why the players believed him when he asked them to keep going.
Compare that to managers like Conte. Conte’s brilliant, but when things got ugly you could feel the separation — the distance, the public frustration, the one tantrum that basically told everyone “this isn’t my fault. I want to be sacked.”
Ange did the opposite.
He built unity by taking responsibility, even when it meant he was the one getting hammered every week.
And you heard the proof of what he was doing behind the scenes from James Maddison after the Europa League final, when he lifted the curtain on Ange’s mentality work.
Maddison said Ange would take the players around the training ground and show them the walls with Tottenham’s past trophies.
All black and white. Old. Distant. Frozen in time.
And Ange would tell them: how upsetting it is for a great club like Tottenham to not have a recent trophy.
Then he’d say that this group — you — are the ones who will get on that wall.
Not in black and white. Not as a footnote. But as the group that changed something.
That matters more than tactics. More than systems. That’s psychological architecture.
That’s how belief becomes real.
Suddenly it’s not just about winning a game. It’s about becoming the team people point to years later.
And Ange knew focusing fully on the Europa League was a risk. He knew the hierarchy might not forgive league sacrifice. He knew the margins.
But he trusted his understanding of Tottenham more than theirs.
He knew this club didn’t need another “almost.” It needed a scar to heal.
So he put everything on the line — reputation, job security, future — to give the supporters something permanent.
One day. One trophy. One wall that would never be black and white again.
That’s why this isn’t just admiration. It’s loyalty.
Because when it mattered, he chose us over himself.
What a manager.
Put his job on the line to change the football club and deliver for the supporters.
Audere Est Facere.
My manager. Always.

Pass it between the back 4 and then eventually lump it forward and play off seconds.
Spam crosses into the box and play for set pieces and second balls.
Garbage football.
