Funny you should say that as I started learning guitar recently, but I'm a long way off playing to people!!! Can play a few chords, and a minor/c major scale. That's about it for now.

I'll get there soon enough I'm sure. I can play 5 whole chords so I can effectively play half the rock n roll back catalogue, status quo's anyway.

scales are for weighing the fish you catch on !!
I learnt piano and trumpet properly,lessons,reading music but stopped and taught myself guitar cos i just wanted it to be fun.Fuck it just learn to play dont study it is my advice,3 chords you could play 100s of songs teachers often over complicate it.Learn to cover a few songs say knocking on heavens door 4 chords you`ll be stoked you ll play it over and over and wont think of it that you spent hours practising,just having fun.

When I played for money, the leader of the band used to get the screaming adbdabs with me because although I could just about read music, it took me a looooooooong time, I had to work it out in my small brain, then decide where my fingers went, then hit was too late because I'm playing the first note of the song when all the other proper musos had finished. So he had to write the notes out for me, I used to play bass guitar because the lead guitarist was a proper classically trained read the squiggles and dots bloke, so that job was not open to me. The money was good, but as I told you, I hated every second of it. 3 fucking years of My fucking Way, The fucking Birdy Song, Viva fucking Espana - aaaarrrgggghhhhh! I did like the Glen Miller stuff we used to play, that was fun.

Can the Poch play scales? How many chords does he know? 'What does he do next' I think was the question asked at the start of this thread, well I suppose that depends on what he wants to do. Does he just want to strum a bit of Koombya, or any Bob Dylan song for the team sing song or does he want to go all Rodrigo Y Gabriela, does he want to be Frank Rossi orJoe Bonamassa, so many questions, so few answers.

I am amazed how much I have forgotten,i did grade 6 piano and 4 trumpet and I couldnt read music now,but i understand the theory of it as such,which to my mind is all you need.I can pretty much write the chords for a song just listening to it,I met a guy who was in that`ll be the day,he depped for hank marvin in the shadows and owns burns guitars we talked bout the ears being the most important thing,and we sat trying to guess the note the extractor fan in the bar was whirring at,dont ask me how but you can just hear it the note.Ive known plenty guitarist cant tell they are out of tune without a gizmo to show them,and yet to me its burning my fucking ears,fix that G its painful !!Mostly I go with the Kurt Cobain theory that there is no theory of whats right,just what you like,I love a bit of dissonance in songs.
Some just like to show off how good they are technically and in my mind are totally missing the point of what a song is,a story,a feeling not a 5 minute guitar wank in between two choruses.Musos i fucking hate them more than scum fans.

Mauricio Pochettino says Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has mirrored the tactical system he 'created' last season.
Several Premier League clubs have adopted three at the back since Conte tweaked Chelsea's approach in September, prompting the club's rise to the Premier League summit.
The runaway leaders, who lost three of their opening six league games with four in defence, are now 10 points clear at the top with 10 games to play and look certain to win a second league crown in three seasons.
Conte has won praise for the tactical shift, but Pochettino believes he is due credit for helping alter the tactical landscape of the Premier League before the Italian's arrival.



Pochettino: Spurs must be ready to 'fight for every ball' at Burnley

The Spurs boss said: "People say now Chelsea changed the system, but no we played always the three in possession. Out of possession, Eric [Dier] moved in front and without the ball he tried to press and play like a midfielder.
Spurs finished third with Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele operating in midfield, but Victor Wanyama has moved ahead of the former since his arrival in the summer.
Pochettino added: "I created a system that [Dier] felt comfortable in. He played like a midfielder without the ball, but with the ball he was a third centre back. You can see in possession he dropped in between the centre backs or between the full back and the centre back, and always we play with three.
"Then we signed Wanyama and played both, but we had some injuries like Toby [Alderweireld] and Jan [Vertonghen], and Eric was the perfect player to play as a centre back. That is a good thing for the player, the possibility to play in different positions and do well in every one."

I reckon it all depends on Levy now. I might be knee-jerking and still wallowing in an abyss of FA Cup misery, but to complete the transition and keep the best that we have possibly including Poch. Levy is going to have to support them. I think we've probably got 1 more season out of everybody, 2 tops, then things might get very wobbly.

I agree with this completely mate. Now is the time to splash the cash and take the next step up in my opinion. I still think we need either two world class wing backs or at least one and Rose to be the players he was but I think Rose is a gonner along with Toby. If we want to go back to three at the back Toby needs replacing as does Walker and as will Rose if he's going too. A striker who can score a few when Kane isn't playing or isn't 100% fit is needed too. If we go three at the back I wouldn't mind Manolas from Roma coming in for Toby, he's not as good as Toby but who is? He ain't far off Toby in many area's of his game though although his long balls to the attacking wing backs aren't as good as Toby from what I've seen when watching him. Sessengon may come in. I also like that Sidibe from Monaco at LB, and I also like the little I've seen of Ricardo Peraira at RB but fuck knows how much they'd cost. If there's a player available in our price range this summer that can come to Spurs and walk into the first team and make a difference straight away then we need to be getting him as big signings make the current players up their game and gives a message of intent to improve to everyone else. Wing backs are a must this summer though as Poch's systems is much worse than last season without the attacking full backs. I know stats will show we have done well this season still and that's because we have done well but against the bigger clubs and when smaller clubs have defended deep and had the players stay narrow we've not been able to play through the middle because it's too congested and our play in the wide area's doesn't allow us to get in behind the opposition enough and we don't have good enough crosses from the deeper wide positions to cause many problems. First half against United we cut through them many time but as soon as they sat deep and narrow we couldn't get through the middle and the wide play wasn't good enough, same against Juve at times too.

I think Pochettino needs to reign in his expectations. The whole we want to win the champions league and premier league thing is great and doable, but ultimately you need to win any trophy first. Get the winning feeling and then crave that again. Playing United it was obvious they were craving the final more than we were and the ultimate goal of lifting the trophy.

Poch has put in place a serious outfit from first team to academy training in similar ways and Levy has built a monumental football (Dunno what you call it) Empire?! We have facilities few around the world have.

I think this summer we may go slightly backwards in some regards losing Toby etc, so we need to make sure we make strides forwards in other areas. In saying all that and maybe looking with slight spurs blinkers on we can't get much better lol.

But where does poch go from right here.... Simple make sure we don't slip from at least 4th place. West Brom did us a favour and hemmed in Liverpool so we need to get back to winning ways and finish strong. That in itself is going to be hard to achieve with the month those players have had.

I look at our starting XI, really for the last two seasons, and I don't see where we can't compete with almost anybody. Where we're lacking is in squad depth. Though we're deeper than we've been in many years, I still think Poch is lacking in attacking options to really change the game. Lucas may be that player, but needs a little more time, and of course the glaring lack of a backup striker continues with Llorente. The loss of Winks has also been a big problem.

This is a very good team, and truthfully we'd have probably taken a third or fourth-place finish (not that we've clinched that yet) given the move to Wembley at the beginning of the season. I don't see our losses in these knockout games over the last couple years as bottle jobs, Spursy or whatever, so much as lacking just a bit more quality. IMO Levy is as likely to grow a full head of hair as he is to spend heavily this summer, but the squad needs reinforcement. Another attacking threat that can play anywhere across the front and a midfielder to compete for playing time with Mousa and hopefully Winks. Wouldn't hurt if said MF was also a bastard of the likes of Herrera for United either.

A bit off topic, but I thin losing Winks hurt us a lot. I know he wasn't a superstar but he had that something that made us go. But like many said, all that's left for this season is secure top 4 and move forward.

It absolutely depends on what it is that motivates Pochettino imo. If it's the money and all that that brings to him and his family then he can have the pick of jobs throughout the football world. If, on the other hand, its seeing his work up to now pushing on and bringing success then he'll hang around. Personally, he must be asking whether the current bunch are capable of getting over the line when it absolutely matters. Imo, he and the club have a massive summer ahead.
Having said all that, still hurting big time. Spent the weekend questioning my sanity and today didn't help either with hardly a word spoken to me in work. Its the pity that kills ye.

Take everyone away for a few days R&R, Watford isn't until Monday


This.

Players will be jaded, they will be deflated and they need to find a way to enjoy football right now. I can't see any way that we miss out on a top 4 finish but who knows what the collective mindset is at present.

As for Pochettino, I just don't see him up and leaving 75% of the way through a very clear longer term project. I believe that the new stadium will provide a monumental shot in the arm for all concerned. If I was Pochettino I would be giving the players a rather light off-season. I know that his reputation is one of hard yards on the training track but many of our players will be approaching 70 matches in a 12 month period by the time the World Cup finishes. It is all very well to say that they are professional footballers and should be able to handle the workload...but mind and body do not work that way. The squad needs some decent time off and we need to hit next season very fresh. The squad's fitness is of no concern.

I’m only just about getting over Saturday, so God knows how Poch and the players must be feeling. I’m with @Don Diaz, let the boys get away from football for a few days, let ‘em lick their wounds and get them back in and make sure mentally, that they get back to the way they were pre the City game.

I didn’t buy the whole, winning the FA cup doesn’t take us to the next level bollocks (as far as i’m concerned, that was to take the pressure off the players),whatever the level is, there’s one level where we need to get too and that is winning a cup and winning the FA cup would’ve given him and the players a huge amount of confidence and the mentality that they are winners. For all the plaudits this team have been given, we’ve won nothing!

First thing he needs to do, is get them back in, motivate them to beat Watford and then the rest of the season and a top 4 spot should be pretty straightforward. I don’t see him leaving for at least another year and that would be based on another trophy less season. We really need to buy a Zaha type player, someone that’s prepared to run at a rb or lb at pace and scare the living shit out of them. We’ve really struggled this season against teams who park the bus, we need a wide player who can scare a defence down the flanks and get in behind to break it out. I’d like to see a lot more of Moura in those types of games especially.

We’re so close but we’re getting to that stage where Poch and some of the players’ heads will start to think of getting trophies elsewhere. I think we have one more year with this group, minus maybe Rose and Toby before we have to start really worrying. Also, we really need to iron out these sloppy goals we concede in these big games, both goals against Utd were avoidable, especially Moussa, wtf was he doing, he had half of the pitch to run into but no he turns back into trouble and gets mugged, oh well I love him, so it’s all done and dusted now. We’re still an exceptional team on our day, and competing against all the odds but unfortunately that’ll count for nothing unless we win something VERY soon.

How we bounce back the last few games will show our real potential or lack of one way or the other.Finish the season strong,top 3 or 4,cup semi final,smashed the group of death in CL,back in july/august wouldnt we have bitten your hand off for that with a season away at wembley and man u,city,liverpool,everton spending huge,champions chelsea and arsenal there abouts in the frame,wouldnt we have regarded what we have achieved as a modicum of success?surely??

Feeling bummed out because we lost on saturday is no reason to knock down what we have achieved,or to blame poch,kane,dembele,lloris,vorm, or whatever scapegoat.
Its really not that awful,if liverpool lose to Roma and we get above them which is reasonable,will their season be cast in the media as a disaster?fucking media and some of our fans expectations are fucking with our minds is all I see here.

There's a lot of shit being posted (It's all Vorm's fault, let's buy Zaha he's brilliant) - i"ll put it down to crack-smoking after the disappointment. Suck it up. The team needs our full support to close out the season.

We've just gone off the boil at the wrong time, that's all. All will be well at NWHL (and there will be cheese). No doubt some will go, some others will come in, but the core will still be there, playing the most attractive Spurs football I can remember. The mentality thing will be beaten soon enough.

Poch won't leave. I reckon his comments about "me or another manager" were just a nod to Levy, to show that he knows he's disappointed him and that he knows who's ultimately in charge. Hopefully Levy doesn't panic and do a BMJ, although we all know he's twat enough to do it.

What does Poch do next? Get the team ready to thrash Watford on Monday, then we are all back on track.

@skiathospurs @NiceOneCyril Totally agree lads and no normal supporter would disagree with what you’re saying, this team has come such a long way, especially given their ages in such a short space of time and competed brilliantly against teams that are bankrolled to glory. The manager is the key to it all and damn i’m fucking grateful for having him.

However these damn comps are getting so bloody hard to win, teams are just blowing us out the water with their ridiculous transfer activities, so when you go deep in a competition and come up against a side that I really felt we’d turn over, I just felt really deflated and it just made me think that we’re so bloody close, that now, really is the time to kick on. I just feel the next year or two are massive for the club, we have to keep improving. Of course this team may go all the way, it’s a joy to be able to watch these guys play but I just feel there are positions in that first XI, that could be challenged. I appreciate the stadium is gonna be a big handicap financially but Mr Lewis has a shit load of money, surely this is the time to throw a bit of caution to the wind and find the players that are gonna kick us on and we can certainly do better than Sissoko playing as many games as he has, his work rate is great and he’s hard not to like, you kind of hope that he’d pick that ball up, burst past a couple of defenders, into the box and rifle it in the corner in off the crossbar, alas not to be! Bottom line is, that we can at the very least, improve the squad.

The thing is, I was just really deflated by that loss, we’re so fucking close and so fucking good that basically, it just really fucked me off!!!

Just a note to add, that next season, even though it is WHL it might just as well be Wembley again, because for the first month or two it will still feel entirely different and take away the 'home' advantage. The Press will call it a hoodoo and a jinx, because they've got fuck all intelligence to write anything other than a cheap shot story. Then we will make it ours and as we have done mostly at Wembley since November, really make it a home venue to be feared, for years to come.

The good thing about the new White Hart Lane though is we can push the pitch retract button when Mourinho stands on the X marks the spot and White Hart Lane just swallows him.

So knee-jerking to the WBA defeat;

We are running on a squad of around 15 players,over 50 games with that number for sure there will be burn out.Lets say what we would call 1st choice or trusted players this season are;
lloris,davies,rose,jan,sanchez,toby,trippier,dier,eriksen.dele,kane,son ,for the benefit of fairness wanyama,dembele,winks,lamela through injuries have been in/out and I`d say also trusted members of Poch`s schemes.
Aurier,Sissoko,Moura expensive signings but not clicked (yet?) i am being kind here! The rest are either done&dusted,academy (KWP),mere potential (Foyth)or already out on loan.

That means we are 8/ 9 players short of the 25 allowed (i`ll allow vorm and gazzanigga as its fine to have an outright #1 as GK),so for me its clear the way onwards involves clearing out and bringing new blood in.

OUT
When I say out i dont mean sell toby&rose who seem to be pushing for an exit,i mean who have to go because its just deadwood,
llorente,sissoko,nkoudou,onomah,CCV,janssen,edwards,KWP
my heart says dont be unkind,but aurier and maybe lamela too.
FFS janssen,llorente and sissoko cost us £60m and have not been worth a wank.We are using Son and Dele as auxillary cover for kane because the pair we bought just cant do the job.

This is what Poch needs to do,fuck the heart,go with the head because you cant compete in 4 competitions with 13 players and 3 or 4 decent others but who are out frequently with injury.We need an overhaul of the squad,not the team.First names on the team sheet no problem,the couple of others whom its a toss up who starts,no problem,but the 8-10 players mentioned above,how long can we wait for them to come good?yes dont give up on Moura yet,if you lose aurier fine give KWP a season,but really if those 10 head on out,I wouldnt be upset or suprised.I would be more upset if we are still dreaming of janssen,sissoko,llorente,nkoudou making it at spurs.

I am not demanding Bale,Martial,sessegnon size signings,but at least someone with talent and hunger to come in,can take a throw in,or have the balls to kick a lump out of someone.And that still doesnt address how do we rest Kane,Eriksen!!

Its no wonder since Chelsea we look shagged,Kane looks double shagged and carrying injury but who could we turn too??The options from the squad/bench are not worthy of £1,200 for a season ticket Daniel.

I agree with a lot of that and I would make three additional points. Poch also needs to look and learn from two previous excellent seasons of what works and what doesn't. We had a high defensive line with AvB, we're fragile playing like that and after a long season last year we raised it at the end. Need to do that again. We've scored plenty of goals without Harry including beating Chelsea away. Only Poch and Harry know if he's fit, if he isn't don't play him. We have two games left, make sure players know they are playing for big future contracts.
