Tony Bloom the Brighton Owner is having a good day so far. Sounds like it was his 400k bet on his horse Energumene which won 580k as well as 400k prize money today in the 'Queen Mother Champions chase'
Plus Brighton are beating Palace in the M23 Surrey/Sussex clash.
Midas touch Tony Bloom strikes again.
Brentford and Brighton are just showing the world what is possible you when you have competent numbers men in charge - sadly this is where Sandgaard Jr falls a bit short…

The interesting aspect is that both owners are "gamblers". Matthew Benham, the Brentford owner, is a former hedge fund manager who later worked for Tony Bloom, the Brighton owner at Premier Bet. Benham fell out with Bloom and founded a company that performed mathematical statical analysis for bookmakers (Smartodds) and used that knowledge as a basis for Brentford's buying and selling of players (which was loosely based on the "Moneyball" concept). Bloom has operated in much the same way at Brighton and made his money as punter, pro poker player and bookmaker (Starlizard). Neither have spoken to each either since their split in 2004 which resulted in legal proceedings and both want nothing more than to beat the other. That said, the clubs themselves enjoy a cordial relationship with each other as both men realise that it would be to their detriment if they didn't.
They could not be further removed from TS in terms of understanding value and risk management.
Id be amazed if Conte is still at spurs after tonight’s interview. He clearly wants out and absolutely goes in on the players. I think that club needs a young coach like what Brighton got.

I hate to go on about the high standard we hold our defenders to, but if Ryan Inniss does that in the last minute, I shudder to think what would be written about him

Agree, he wants a pay off. It must've been Conte who told them to go defensive at 3-1 up ? After being attacking in the first half they went 5-4-1 as highlighted by Ashley Williams and Dion Dublin on MOTD.
Man city, Liverpool, Man utd, Arsenal and Newcastle smell blood and go for the jugular.
The Saints were on the ropes and Spurs went passive. The players didn't decide that.
Conte was correct about the last 20 years at Spurs.
The question I would ask Conte is: Who set the team up at 3-1 ?
He's been wanting a payoff and to go home his family for a while. Surely he's rich enough that when he was ill recently he could have just said that was the reason and come to some agreement?
He's got a point about the players and the club culture, but he's not blameless - basically raised the white flag before the Milan game the other day, for example - hinted they we're lucky to get that far and has no chance to win the competition, then sent out a really defensive side when they needed to overturn a first leg defeat.
If they'd held on for the win they'd have been third, so are they really that bad?
Also as a couple of Spurs mates have pointed out, he is the one that chooses the tactics and he is the one who picked a weakened side in the cup and they went out to Sheff Utd.
I'd be amazed if he's still there after the international break, pretty sure the players will want him gone.
Watching the Arse v Palace game and the co-commentator (brummie bloke - sounds a bit like collymore?) Is gushing over Palace like they’re 1970 Brazil. Arse are well on top and piling pressure on. All Palace have done is defend solidly and had two counterattacks.
Thank Christ Arse have now scored, hopefully it’ll shut the prat up a bit.
Comments
In April all 6 of their games are against relegation rivals. Will Palace let Vieira stay in charge, or go for someone to turn things around?

De Boer is available. Maybe they could get him back to finish the job he started so well.
Palace have now had 17 games against teams in the top half this season and won none.

Not sure how or why Doucoure didn't get a second yellow.
Brentford 1-1 Leicester FT
Southampton 3-3 Tottenham FT
Wolves 2-4 Leeds FT
Conte begging for the sack
That interview is savage

Rhetorical question because it's the manager.
He's got a point about the players and the club culture, but he's not blameless - basically raised the white flag before the Milan game the other day, for example - hinted they we're lucky to get that far and has no chance to win the competition, then sent out a really defensive side when they needed to overturn a first leg defeat.

Oh dear
Poor luves
Carry on.

Have that you stripy pricks
