@CalvinMcClure9 If I’d fallen asleep in early 2015 and woken today to see you poll which excludes Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey would wonder how bad things must have one while I was napping - not criticising your poll. But Tony and Joes absence speaks volumes for those on the list

@lesstenny Sorry Les, but one of those cases IMHO where those on the left should have kept their mouths shut. The audience for Karl’s podcast would have been minimal. Now he’s been made a right wing martyr. He’s been silenced by the elites. This has been orchestrated - don’t fall for it

@JimOhSoSpurs As someone who has been following since the 60s, albeit long distance from Sydney, it’s important not to forget some of the stars from those years - Danny Blanchflower, Cliff Jones, Dave Mackay, Johnny white, Bobby smith, Cyril Knowles, Mike England, John Kinnear, Jimmy Greaves

@johnnychick @HelenEarnshaw7 @fesshole Bugger, I’m 73 and made the same mistake

@TrollKingofChat @QuentinDempster @Hogan74837J @DrCraigEmerson Much like the current date for Australia Day, Dan.

@lkoori8 Steve Perryman. Could acquit himself anywhere on the pitch. Remained loyal despite relegation, then led the team to cup wins on return to first division. Still a great ambassador for the club

@aaronsmith @Matt_Camenzuli Wasn’t he involved in the disastrous Ch 7 interviews with Bruce Lehman?

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

Did anyone else notice that at 2pm today, the SMH headline online was to the effect of: “Taylor claims credit for reduction in fuel excise”, but by 4pm it had changed to the effect of: “Albanese on collision course with RBA over fuel excise cut”.

@TonyHWindsor @JaneCaro I think John Howard played a not insignificant part

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@jarro56 @CC68891975 @SpudBenBean It was there. I’m defrosting chicken at the moment, so might go looking for some packet French onion soup mix

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@Ronhotspur He cops a lot of stick from the so called fans who have responded to this thread. But, he, Tel and Richarlson at least made it clear they wanted to win.

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@AdamWagner1990 I agree, but he needs to realise that he doesn’t yet have the skill or technique to do it alone. There were chances today where Archie had got into a better space that MT but he missed the chance. He and AG are what we need at the moment

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@michaeltech100 Agree entirely. The only bright spots today came from him - Tel threw his heart into the game and sparked us up but didn’t seem to know what to do when it counted - AG converted one of Tels runs into a goal and almost used a second for the draw

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@TonyShepherd4 That is disgustingly gushing - even from an ex Murdoch hack

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@pnspur @thejacksvn Hoo f***ing ray. At last a Spurs fan who realises that you don’t sack a coach in a vacuum. He needs to be replaced. And if you risk losing the momentum by appointing John The Pragmatist and he fails, the decision to sack Ange is just as wrong as the decision to appoint Frank.

[Pete @pnspur]

@thejacksvn The funny thing so many who wanted him out lauded Franks appointment. They are also revisionists of Ange’s tenure and only talk about his 2nd PL season and so continue to say it was the right decision. They forget it’s only the right decision if you replaced him with better.

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@bright_eyes3000 @thejacksvn If Frank was the wrong choice, who should they have chosen? If you sack a coach who has the team on board and momentum from the EL win, if you sack him you are wrong if you don’t hire someone better. You can’t justify a sacking unless you have a replacement

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@KjaerTravel @thejacksvn Except if you sack Ange you’ve got to hire someone. If Frank was the best choice then sacking Ange was wrong.

[Lara © @laazarini7]

It’s almost like firing a manager the players loved & replacing him with someone who constantly reminds us “we finished 17th last season” & “aren’t really a CL club” hasn’t worked.

Took the spark that should have started the fire after Bilbao, and snuffed it straight out. Grim.

[Brian Ralston @SelfTort]

@JeanxTHFC Those freaks include Spurs’ podcasts. The ones I listen to embraced winning the EL but then clamoured for Ange’s sacking. Ange had a vision that included Gray, Bergwall and others at their peak. That would take time and a bit of pain. But our podcast pundits didn’t have the balls

[Jean 🏆 @JeanxTHFC]

For everyone who told me that backing Ange meant I was fine with relegation, we now have the manager you were begging for, and we’re sitting three points off relegation - way closer than we ever got last season.

I remember you all, freaks
