It's likely a callback to when Postecoglu managed Celtic and made a lot of disparaging comments about B/ where he essentially called them a nothing club full of semi-pros living in wooden huts, more interested in fishing than football – whilst Celtic was a massive historic club and would make short process of a team llke B/G. Then, this happened:

Already put 50 on it the same day Spurs lucked themselves through the QF's. Couldn't have asked for an easier opponent in the Semis, honestly believed Lazio would be a size or two too large for B/G to overcome – but they did, and Lazio is ten times the team Spurs is. I was being hyperbolic about you guys, given the club's experience in Europe I'd imagine you'd beat B/G in the final as well. Fully believe Bilbao is the strongest team left in it though and Spurs the weakest. B/G third, but not that much behind Man Utd under Amorim given how he refuses to do anything else tactically than his one go-to set-up.

Qarabag were infinitely better than Man Utd, there's a bunch of teams that were in the EL this season that should've easily dispatched B/G in a knock-out match-up. Spurs and Man Utd aren't among those, because they've been absolute shit all season and just because they're English doesn't mean them being horrible all season will suddenly change. Bilbao will bum Man Utd so hard they'll not be able to walk for the rest of the season. Spurs'll most likely get a win at home, but not by more than 2. Only two teams have bettered B/G by more than 2 in the last five seasons of European football, like fuck will Spurs be the third. Bilbao though? They'd be capable of doing that, which doesn't bode well for Man Utd.

Spurs will win 2-1 at home and then lose 3-0 away. Spurs are absolute trash, as are you guys. Bilbao would wreck Glimt beyond recognition, though.

Bodø/Glimt assistant, Gaute Helstrup, delivered a weird (yet very funny) sneak-diss of Postecoglu in an interview today when asked how it felt knowing that they'd most likely seal Postecoglu's fate as Spurs manager if they knocked them out of Europe; "It's never fun to hear about other coaches in trouble. Well, if you could really call him (Postecoglu) that."

Looked at that list on Transfermarkt myself just the other day, we also got the oldest average squad age in the league.

5x most recent annual revenue, also accounting for the valuation, and length, of current commercial partnerships. That said, the exact "reason" the press has referred to the club being valued at "£100 million" boils down to them doing some quick maths based on US investment firm, Welch Allyn, Inc, coughing up £15 million to RR McReynolds, LLC, for 15% ownership. Also, for an investor; a strong, valuable brand with global recognisability >>>>>> random football club that may or may not have done ok at football in the past decade or so

You forgot the biggest story of the day: All joking aside, what a fucking investment by the Hollywood Bros... Purchased the club for £2m and now, after their third back-to-back promotion yesterday, it's valued at a respectable £100 million. That's a 4900% Return on Investment 😳 First club in the top six divisions of the English league pyramid to record three back-to-back consecutive promotions as well. The club ended the 23/24 fiscal year with £27.9m in revenue – which was a record high revenue for a League Two club. They're on track to repeat that feat this season and notch a record high revenue for a League One club. Originally, the duo had given the club a £15 million loan to bankroll the beginning of its climb, the loan was registered as paid back in full in their 23/24 financials, meaning the club's essentially being run in a self-sufficient manner these days where the money invested into transfers, ground renovation and training ground rebuild all coming from money the club itself is generating and not from the pockets of Reynolds and McElhenney. For all the hatred of US owners, I struggle to think of a lot of better run clubs in the English league system than Wrexham. I'm excited to see how they'll adjust to the Championship.

If someone gave me a dollar for every ex-NUFC youth player who'll forever be young in our minds, that also followed me on Instagram – I'd have two dollars, not much, but still weird that it's happened twice:

Looked at my TikTok drafts a few moments ago and re-discovered an edit I made that I'd forgotten all about. I assume (knowing myself) that I went back and forth in my mind about it possibly being "weird" to post a video with no originally created content in it on my personal profile and then promptly forgot it existed after that, but who cares about it maybe being a "weird" thing to do? Life's too short, so I posted it – and now sharing it:

AB: 2.16 – 125.56% better PPG at home. TH: 1.90 – 85.71% better PPG at home. MU: 1.76 – 24.84% better PPG at home. B/G: 1.71 – 152.58% better PPG at home. Just to do it correctly.

Spurs in the same period: 16-4-1 –– PPG 2.47 8-4-9 –– PPG 1.33 Man Utd in the same period: 15-6-5 –– PPG 1.96 11-8-7 –– PPG 1.57 Athletic Bilbao in the same period: 6-0-0 –– PPG 3.00 2-2-2 –– PPG 1.33 My point was never that they've not performed worse away from home than they do at home, but out of the 4 EL semi-finalists, they've got the 3rd worst average home record (behind Spurs and Bilbao, ahead of Man Utd). It feels like the general opinion is "don't get trashed in Bodø and you'll beat them at home", which isn't the truth at all. On the whole, they've got more Win/Draws away from home than they do defeats (19 – 17), and even then, very few defeats are by more than a single goal and almost none are by more than two. Just feel like everybody's trying their best to write them off as a football team that's not really good enough to be where they're currently at, and that they're only there because of some magical fluke arctic circle weather shenanigans and astroturf black magic whimsy "Home matches on Astro in the Arctic Circle are clearly a massive help. (B/G @ Home PPG 2.45)" ≌ "Home matches on Grass in North London are clearly a massive help. (Spurs @ Home PPG 2.47)"

7 years and 11 months ago to the day; "Bodø/Glimt concedes 0-1 against Florø in the Norwegian 2nd tier, setting the tone for a season where them going down to the 3rd tier in Norwegian football felt unavoidable – fast forward to present day, and they've now reached the semi-final stage of the Europa League. Unbelieveable." Had a few lengthy posts (some might call them "rants" ) about how well run B/G has been for the last 7-8 years. This truly visualizes what they've achieved by just running the club well.

Last time Bodø/Glimt met a team managed by Ange Postecoglou (Celtic), they won 2-0 at home and 3-1 away, going on a 5-1 aggregate.
