@spursy_boggart That is how you raise the bar of a team by having top quality players challenging one another for a place. This enables us to field decent players in the cups rather than second stringers
Until fans understand that managers are different, then the merry go round of managers of clubs will happen. United have struggled for 10 or more years to find their new Fergie. Spurs and Chelsea have also been trying to find replacements for Poch and Mourinho respectively. Clubs need to stick with managers unless there is a fundamental mid match. Slot had to contend with the death of Jota, which had, and still has, a profound impact on the team and the fans. Clapping in the 20th minute to remember him is a reflection of the man in the hearts of the supporters BUT it also reminds the player every match of what they lost and that is a psychological downer. And the team has never recovered plus the fact that Salah, van Dijk and others are reaching their sell by date. Change is inevitable and Slot is not a bad manager. He needed time. That’s where Arsenal have got it right.
@change4spurs Those saying Top 4-6 are wishful thinking…..Top 10 at best….with a positive Cup run (any cup) ….fewer long term injuries….and some real quality signings that move the needle….and getting the outgoing out quickly….
@OngarSpurs What is the problem with Porro? He is going to the World Cup with Spain. He is a top bloke. Loves Spurs. Some fans have unreasonable expectations
Grok says:
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar (left, red can) and Diet Coke (right, silver can) are both zero-calorie, sugar-free colas, but they differ in taste, formulation, and marketing.1
Key Differences
* Taste and Flavor Profile (the biggest distinction):
* Coke Zero Sugar is designed to taste closer to original Coca-Cola Classic — bolder, sweeter, and more “cola-like.”
* Diet Coke has a lighter, distinct “diet” taste with a different blend of flavors (often described as sharper or with a more noticeable aftertaste).2
* Sweeteners:
* Both use aspartame as the primary sweetener.
* Coke Zero Sugar also includes acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), which helps create a taste profile closer to regular Coke.1
* Diet Coke relies mainly on aspartame alone.
* Other Ingredients:
* Coke Zero Sugar includes potassium citrate (which Diet Coke lacks).
* Diet Coke includes citric acid (which Coke Zero lacks).1
* Common ingredients in both: carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate (preservative), natural flavors, and caffeine.
* Appearance and Marketing:
* Zero Sugar targets people who want a no-compromise cola taste without sugar (positioned more like “regular Coke but zero everything”).
* Diet Coke has a long-standing appeal, especially to women historically, with a lighter profile.
Nutrition
Both have 0 calories, 0 sugar, and similar caffeine content (about 34 mg per 12 oz can). They are nutritionally equivalent in most ways.
Summary
Many people prefer Coke Zero Sugar if they want something that mimics regular Coke more closely. Diet Coke fans often prefer its unique lighter taste and have been loyal for decades. Preferences are highly subjective—taste tests and blind comparisons frequently show divided opinions.11
The cans in your image clearly show the branding: red for Zero Sugar’s classic vibe vs. silver for Diet Coke’s distinct look.
To be honest, reading all these one-sided comments (from either side) goes to show why VAR was needed, and now it shows why VAR is not needed…..because we are going to look at the same incident and see diametrically opposed views. Add the “what aboutisms” of previous decisions and “what ifs” of the future impact of a decision.
My rose coloured glasses view:
Ampadu milked the Tel contact - no penalty
DCL - offside and never a penalty if not offside
Maddison - definitely a penalty
Richarlison- had no idea Bijoe was there
Raya - it was no goal, foul on keeper
Kulusevski should not be permitted to play in the World Cup. Spurs carried the cost of rehabilitation of injury and his wages. Then he plays in the World Cup and the injury flares up again. I’d definitely not permit him to play. Unless the national federation agrees to finance any further injury and wages
Can Spurs be the beneficiary of this plan in 2026/27 please? I can’t take another season like the last two. We want:
✅ a few penalties for us.
✅ all offside offences ruled in our favour
✅all 50/50 decisions to be 75/25 in favour of Spurs
❌no red cards
❌no yellow cards more than 4 for any player for the whole season
