The real MORONS are the ones at ITV who continue to employ him as a pundit, surely they must have some idea that EVERYONE thinks he's complete garbage.

Looks like I am alone in thinking there is nothing wrong with managers coming out with comments like the one Sherwood did about Norwich.
He is 100% correct. Spurs should be expected to beat Norwich away. I'm sure most of you betting types would of backed them to get the result at Carrow Road.
However, it has always been proved to be foolish for managers (or players) to come out with statements like that, as it only serves to fire up the opposition & give them something to prove. As a result Sherwood managed to save Chris Hughton a job by doing his team talk for him.
I think people get too precious about this whole 'disrespecting' other teams stuff. Interviews and press conferences would be pretty boring if managers didn't say anything to spice things up from time to time.

I assume you missed all the Dnipro diving/time wasting/ gamesmanship?
Was a red, soft, but was red
The thread title is a very odd choice of words. The 'should be beating teams like... ' line is crass and shows a lack of respect. But nasty?

Fantastic night at WHL. Not very classy from Benfica manager though

Sherwood is out of his depth. He was ill-advised to make those post-match comments at Stamford Bridge last weekend. He was probably expecting a different result tonight but after turning on his players they gave him a pretty flat performance. I can see Arsenal winning by a 2 or 3 goal margin on Sunday.

Spurs conceded 2 goals from set pieces which raises the question is there a worse defender playing in the Premier League than Kaboul. He makes Titus Bramble look world class perhaps they should recall Grant Hall back from Swindon he couldnt do a worse job.

Benfica were absolutely outstanding. On a different level to Spurs.

It was essentially half of Benfica's reserve team too - I know Spur's side wasn't the strongest, but surely Prem teams have stronger squad depth than the Portguese......obviously not
Just shows what a band of mercenaries Spurs are, with an idiot behind the reins

Is this the same ' idiot' that the majority on here wanted as our manager when Gus was sacked?

no idea, but i didnt even know he was a potential manager when he was a mentioned as a possible replacement, and wouldn't have been that impressed if he was made manager
