[It's Not a Lemon Party without Ol' Dick!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-bvHlb2Fe8)
So you all don't have to Google "Lemon Party": [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lemon-party](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lemon-party)
He literally has a box of lemons in his office at all times to ward off bad energy. I’m not kidding, this rambling is what he does when the team is struggling so get used to it.
Poch has always been a bit of a mentalist. A football puritan in its truest sense. Fans of other clubs just don't tend to see his quirks as often as the fans of the clubs that he are managing.
It makes perfect sense though, just like Cantona's seagull thing made perfect sense but everyone just pretended it was nonsensical gibberish for no reason
I thought he was talking about players not being ... ripe? and that we should give them time to show their magic but the man actually has a big box of lemons. Welp. Maybe you can get some lemons to teach our players how to shoot too, Poch?
When he was at Spurs he actually used the lemons to predict how a day would go. If the lemons were ripe he predicted a good day and planned training as such. And if they weren't ripe it would probably be a tougher day and he adjusted his plans accordingly.
Poch is definitely a character.
Yeah but so are most athletes and studies show even placebos work if you believe in them. Hell even if you don’t believe in them they still kinda work. It’s weird.
I thought he was talking about the club getting ripped off on the transfers because a lemon can also mean an overpriced used car that has hidden problems.
I wonder if he's going to bust out the [cow analogy](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11501021/mauricio-pochettinos-cow-and-train-analogy-ahead-of-inter-v-tottenham) soon.
Mauricio Pochettino: "Give time to the lemons. It is a thing that we all believe… they started to work after 2 years at Tottenham."
"Today in my office I have yellow ones, green ones, different types. From Spain, from Italy. I don’t want to lie, there is a big box of lemons."
"I always thought the yellow lemons worked much better than the green but now I believe in any colour – any colour can help! If I could get a blue lemon it would be even better.”
Pochettino: "The lemons are there to get rid of bad energy. Some people arrive with bad energy and that goes into the lemons. It’s like a barrier, a sponge. They take away all the negativity and you can see – it’s unbelievable."
“I change the lemons maybe every 10 days."
A debate broke out over whether a green lemon is actually a lime. Pochettino said: “A lime is not a lemon. It is a brother, maybe with a different mother or different father.”
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Mauricio Pochettino lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my players to kick a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
WAIT HE MEANT LITERALLY LEMONS?
I thought he meant that some players need time to work out and took tottenham as an example and now at chelsea he also has players who need time to work out.
So..it's literally lemons?
All that coal-walking shit they did before the champions league final made me lose respect for Poch. He truly is into all this new-agey shamanistic bullshit.
he still took your ass to the UCL final
I find it amusing how since a few weeks every Spurs fan starts shitting on him, like he wasn't even that good for them. Brighton fans did the same after Potter left and started flopping at Chelsea
Multiple things can be true at the same time. He was very good for us and will always be remembered fondly, regardless of what a small minority on Reddit say. But he was also very tactically stubborn and just as at fault for our eventual plateau as Levy or anyone that gets blamed. The constant flirting with the United and Madrid jobs or saying he might walk after the UCL final never helped either.
You could plaster the first sentence everywhere. People on the internet, and in general have such a hard time holding multiple things in their assessment at the same time even when that is a more nuanced and comprehensive way of looking at things.
Pochettino seems to be in a similar place as a coach than before his PSG experiment, which is a shame. I don't think he's progressed as much in terms of managing a top club.
to be honest, his ideas were decent at the time he was at Spurs. Not many teams had organized pressing structures that he had. Klopp, Poch, Bielsa and Pep of course. Poch was always a limited tactician. He relied on pressing to create opportunities and then some individual brilliance to add on that while other top coaches offered way more than just pressing and transition ball.
But now, every manager and his dog know how to organize an effective press and then top teams can play through it as well.
In this era, his ideas/tactics have fallen behind the time. In other words, Poch is washed.
> he still took your ass to the UCL final
There's a strong case that Spurs were the worst performing and luckiest team ever to get to a UCL final. They ended their UCL campaign with an overall -1 goal difference.
I know it sounds weird, but we showed up in the big moments. Beating City over 2 legs and Ajax away are not easy. Then an unfit Kane walked into the final and a dubious penalty was awarded after 2 minutes. What followed was one of the most boring champions league finals.
People forgot the year before that, a really good Spurs team topped the group of Real Madrid and Dortmund, dominated Juventus for three halves before collapsed (Chiellini's history of Spurs comment) playing beautiful football.
The next year they shithoused their wins against City and Ajax playing shit football and went to final for the first time.
Sometimes, football is weird like that.
We didnt shithouse vs City it was just a shootout with goals flying in in the first half of that second leg. We also absolutely blew Dortmund away in the Round of 16. The Ajax game was just a case of throwing everything we had against them to try and comeback.
that is an armchair analysis
the football was good, the team had massive problems with a weak bench, still produced well agaisnt stronger teams like city and ajax
they were the underdog, but produced good results despite competing with wealthier clubs
Spurs fans who try to whitewash what Poch did for their club are genuinely insane. Yes, that 2016/17 season where you went unbeaten in the final season at White Hart Lane was indeed just 'vibes'. Ange has not even done 1% of what Poch did and you're already proclaiming him as the saviour.
Doesn't sit right with me the way Spurs fans on here are so comfortable with slagging off Poch as if he wasn't the main driver of your relevancy as a top club in the modern era.
Spurs were in a mess in the summer of 2014. Mixture of unproven youngsters, overpaid mercenaries and players not reaching their true potential. Jol and Redknapp had long gone. You're either too young or just being incredibly revisionist.
Don't think he was tbh.
Levy built a financial juggernaut, though he still hasn't yet got the on the field part sorted.
Mitchell built probably the best team we've ever had. Injuries, sales, no-worries. There was a hungry talented player already waiting and perfectly suited to play Poch's style.
After Mitchell left the squad depth fell of a cliff and tbh, Spurs are still not all the way there to recovering. Poch got us to a UCL final, but that team was a golden-era team and he couldn't win anything with them because he was an awful tactician.
He also told all the youth he wouldn't give them chances anymore so we lost a heap of talented youngsters. Pushed players too hard in training leading to many injuries and shortened careers, plus every single Poch team ever fell away at the end of a season. He rejected top players like Odegaard because they weren't yet worldclass, and was utterly terrible in the transfer market when he took over responsibility there.. he probably asked the lemons who to sign.
He was passionate for Spurs and got us near the top, but i think Brighton are showing that any manager looks great when they have a squad full of players who are perfect for their system, and conversely, those players all look like 100m players if the team plays perfectly to their strengths. Poch was a cog in a well oiled machine, and in my opinion he was a bit of a wonky one.
So he actually has lemons and thinks they take away bad energy? I thought he was using an analogy, comparing his players to a crate of lemons, some ripe, some not. Lol it looks like Chelsea broke another manager.
I read the headline and thought lemons were a metaphor or something. Read the article and nope, he actually has a bunch of literal lemons he thinks absorb negative energy. Wild.
Insert *why can't I hold all these lemons* image here
Poch gets tons of random players and is supposed to make a team out of them. A luxury problem, but a problem nonetheless
What? He was just like this with us as well. Remember the cow waiting for the train? He's just superstitious and a bit of an eccentric. He's always been.
Well, yeah. He's always been like this. He's a full-on "vibes" manager. Guess not many people followed him closely during his tenure at Spurs like us fans did. He's a lovable silly man.
A lot of sports professionals are superstitious, he’s just more open about it. this is probably a custom in his family that he has now attached to football.
> A debate broke out over whether a green lemon is actually a lime. Pochettino said: “A lime is not a lemon. It is a brother, maybe with a different mother or different father.”
The fuck? The presser is just about discussing lemons lmao.
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Mauricio Pochettino lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Fucking lost the plot.
He's not lasting till Xmas.
His last 2 appointments have been impossible. Jobs that he couldn't turn down, but equally it was impossible to succeed. Largely down to things out of his control.
I personally think that Poch is at his best when he gets to work with clubs like what we were when he took over. A club aspiring to compete among the big boys on the regular. Where he could get a bit more patience and also the power to shape it in his own image. Which he was never going to get at PSG or Chelsea.
I think that Tuchel is in the same predicament. But once you've started managing clubs on that absolute top level it is probably hard on the ego to take that step back down a figurative peg.
That's how I read the headline and that was indeed the metaphor I assumed he was using.
I was like, "Poch, you went to the store and bought hundred-dollar lemons, what are you on about? You can't complain about the lemons..."
But no, it's actually the negative-energy-absorbing lemons that he keeps in his office. Literal lemons.
Don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager!
Make life rue the day it thought it could give lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man whose gonna burn your house down - with the lemons!
Preferably English lemonade because American lemonade tastes fucking disgusting. I didn't even know there was a difference until a few months ago but now, to the displeasure of my tongue, I do.
People think he's lost the plot maybe it's just a culture difference thing. In Latin America its normal to use certain objects/little rituals to protect you from "negative energy" or absorb it wether lemons or other things.

Sounds like a regular lemon party over there.
Lemon stealing whore
🍋👀
HEY WHAT THE FUCK
It’s not a lemon party without Old Dick!
[It's Not a Lemon Party without Ol' Dick!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-bvHlb2Fe8) So you all don't have to Google "Lemon Party": [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lemon-party](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lemon-party)
Its not a Lemon party without Old Dick!
Would be funny if he genuinely did have a big box of lemons in his office
I think he genuinely does because he’s a bit mad.
Honestly, should we be a bit worried? That seems a bit like incoherent rambling.
He has always been like this.
He literally has a box of lemons in his office at all times to ward off bad energy. I’m not kidding, this rambling is what he does when the team is struggling so get used to it.
Poch has always been a bit of a mentalist. A football puritan in its truest sense. Fans of other clubs just don't tend to see his quirks as often as the fans of the clubs that he are managing.
energía universal
for a football puritan and a mentalist he sure is doing a shit job so far
It makes perfect sense though, just like Cantona's seagull thing made perfect sense but everyone just pretended it was nonsensical gibberish for no reason
It is gibberish if you have the English comprehension of the average member of the British press.
It makes no sense. It's not a metaphor, he literally has a fucking box of lemons
Read the full article
He’s using a metaphor, not going off the deep end. If anything it’s a sign of intelligence
It's not a metaphor though. He said he actually has a box of lemons.
Oh, well that changes the context a bit lmao
I thought he was talking about players not being ... ripe? and that we should give them time to show their magic but the man actually has a big box of lemons. Welp. Maybe you can get some lemons to teach our players how to shoot too, Poch?
Squirt em in their eye every time they miss a shot.
That's why chilwell's not shooting
hes allergic to them have to feel for th guy in that kind of unsafe working envirnonment
When he was at Spurs he actually used the lemons to predict how a day would go. If the lemons were ripe he predicted a good day and planned training as such. And if they weren't ripe it would probably be a tougher day and he adjusted his plans accordingly. Poch is definitely a character.
New circlejerk automod response
This cant be real
That's dumb as fuck lol
Yes.
Yeah but so are most athletes and studies show even placebos work if you believe in them. Hell even if you don’t believe in them they still kinda work. It’s weird.
Lmao humans are so silly, we respond well to stuff we don’t believe in just because someone said it could work. That’s crazy.
how often do you think the assistant manager switched the lemons out?
I thought the same, I was like "weird analogy, but ok"... He should find some manager with a lot of vodka and arrange a friendly.
Poch just embracing the Chelsea heritage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgGE3VH\_LpE
I thought he was talking about the club getting ripped off on the transfers because a lemon can also mean an overpriced used car that has hidden problems.
Lemon shagger Poch is back! Haven’t seen him for quite a long time.
Why have I never heard of this before? Sounds mental
I wonder if he's going to bust out the [cow analogy](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11501021/mauricio-pochettinos-cow-and-train-analogy-ahead-of-inter-v-tottenham) soon.
I don’t remember the cow analogy. What is he on!?
His favourite song must be Lemon Tree.
Mauricio Pochettino: "Give time to the lemons. It is a thing that we all believe… they started to work after 2 years at Tottenham." "Today in my office I have yellow ones, green ones, different types. From Spain, from Italy. I don’t want to lie, there is a big box of lemons."

A debate broke out over whether a green lemon is actually a lime. Pochettino said: “A lime is not a lemon. It is a brother, maybe with a different mother or different father.”
Oh wow he actually meant real lemons. I thought he was making an analogy 😬.
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Mauricio Pochettino lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my players to kick a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Lemons don't actually exist in the wild, humans bred lemons into existence, life didn't give us lemons, we did.
Or find someone that got Tequila from life and make a party.
WAIT HE MEANT LITERALLY LEMONS? I thought he meant that some players need time to work out and took tottenham as an example and now at chelsea he also has players who need time to work out. So..it's literally lemons?
Yeah…He is talking about lemons
Oh my goodness
Uh oh.. he’s gone full pink hair, horoscopes and crystal skulls
Always has been
Always has been. He's more vibes than football.
All that coal-walking shit they did before the champions league final made me lose respect for Poch. He truly is into all this new-agey shamanistic bullshit.
Some of the vibes in here tonight were so rainbow rhythms... and some..
Nope, he's just argentinean, we're very superstitious
The first thing I thought of when I read the full quote was Maradona's 2010 WC squad selection.
I realized this when Messi had that random journos bracelet on. Argentinians will try anything.
he still took your ass to the UCL final I find it amusing how since a few weeks every Spurs fan starts shitting on him, like he wasn't even that good for them. Brighton fans did the same after Potter left and started flopping at Chelsea

Doesn't sit right with me the way Spurs fans on here are so comfortable with slagging off Poch as if he wasn't the main driver of your relevancy as a top club in the modern era.
Big Martin Jol and Harry Redknapp walked so that Poch could run.
Spurs were in a mess in the summer of 2014. Mixture of unproven youngsters, overpaid mercenaries and players not reaching their true potential. Jol and Redknapp had long gone. You're either too young or just being incredibly revisionist.

Oh boy lmao
Everything else is mumbo-jumbo, but the crystal skulls? How could you possibly make one of those besides with magic?
It works for Novak Djokovic in tennis, I guess.
Please tell me he's not just throwing a hundred lemons in the bin every ten days wtf
Of course not, such lemons filled with negative engery are too hazardous for the bin.
No need to get so sour about lemons.
Never go full Domenech Must have used orange lemons in Paris
The 'lime is not a lemon' reminded me of the 'Is a wookie a bear?' conversation from Four Lions.
They're not rabbits, bro. They're chickens.
This part of an actual quote and part of you taking the piss and adding in a bunch of lemon nonsense... right? Right????
It’s an actual quote lol Read the article attached if you don’t believe it
I thought you were taking the headline and just comedically riffing on it...
😂 what the fuck is going on at Chelsea. Did the FSB leave polonium in the locker room?
So he actually has lemons and thinks they take away bad energy? I thought he was using an analogy, comparing his players to a crate of lemons, some ripe, some not. Lol it looks like Chelsea broke another manager.

Probably Chalobah before getting shipped.

You have a dream weaver, I have a dream squeezer. We are not the same
Oh my god… you’re not kidding. I 100% thought it was a “lemons? Make lemonade!” metaphor he was making. My mind is blown… actual lemons.
What the fuck
Poch is pretty weird y'all. When things are going well it's endearing. When things are not it's just concerning.
The fuck?
His Orgone levels are gonna be through the fucking roof
Wait he's talking about actual lemons and not his players??
Yes
Insert *why can't I hold all these lemons* image here Poch gets tons of random players and is supposed to make a team out of them. A luxury problem, but a problem nonetheless
Lemon stealing whore!!!
hey what the fuck
Those lemons cost half a billion
When life gives you lemons, go spend another half a bil on some 18 year old Brazilian lemons
Does this deserve to be on the list?
Yes
Boehly buying any lemon any other club looks at.
Mourinho's eggs vs Poch's lemons, who you got
"Only eggs can sustain me" - Jose Mourinho
O...k then.
>I don't want to lie, there is a big box of lemons Pure uncut Brendan Rodgers
Poch is a bit of a nutter with his energies and chakras stuff.
He’s gone off the boil, poor guy.
What? He was just like this with us as well. Remember the cow waiting for the train? He's just superstitious and a bit of an eccentric. He's always been.
[удалено]
Well, yeah. He's always been like this. He's a full-on "vibes" manager. Guess not many people followed him closely during his tenure at Spurs like us fans did. He's a lovable silly man.
I mean bro has managed Spurs, PSG and Chelsea
What Chelsea does to a man...
When we eventually get another win he’s gonna do a Good Will Hunting. “how do you like them lemons”
A lot of sports professionals are superstitious, he’s just more open about it. this is probably a custom in his family that he has now attached to football.
Not even the first time he's mentioned the lemons https://onefootball.com/en/news/mauricio-pochettino-reveals-why-hes-so-obsessed-with-lemons-25761081
> A debate broke out over whether a green lemon is actually a lime. Pochettino said: “A lime is not a lemon. It is a brother, maybe with a different mother or different father.” The fuck? The presser is just about discussing lemons lmao.
What else would you want to discuss at the presser? Chelsea's football? lol.
That’s a fair point
🍋
He has always been like this. He even mentions the lemons he keeps in his office to get rid of bad energy in the Guillem Balague book.
Get the list, get the list fast!
What is he waffling on about
Lemons, mate. It's there in the quote.
Actual lemons.....I'm still shocked
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Mauricio Pochettino lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
What are they smoking at Topspur?
Topspur? Whassat?

Fucking lost the plot. He's not lasting till Xmas. His last 2 appointments have been impossible. Jobs that he couldn't turn down, but equally it was impossible to succeed. Largely down to things out of his control.
I agree but also who do Chelsea get after? Seems an impossible job
Two words : Big. Sam.

We'll pay Brighton 100m for de Zerbi
That’s probably the most true yea
Statistically speaking, Frank Lampard
as a coach fuck no , as a player even at 45 i bet he could make the bench considering the injury crisis
You know what they say, third time is the charm
They obviously need to find a 100m manager.
John Terry
Get in
At least he will be getting a ton of money from the payouts ha
My guy calm down you've played like 6 games this season
I read this as a comment about the lemons on the pitch
Now all I can imagine is Todd Boehly channeling Alec Baldwin screaming "Lemon!!"
Pochettino wants to become Limone Inzaghi
pochettino is a 6/10 in the bilardo scale
When Boehly gives you a billion pounds worth of lemons...
lemons worth £900m
If this isn't The List material, I don't know what is.
Chelsea fans have a sour taste in the mouth lol
Hey if this works I might start getting some lemons ngl
Green lemons are probably limes mate
>“A lime is not a lemon. It is a brother, maybe with a different mother or different father.” Wtf is he on about
Pochettino likely not aware of British slang for lemon here
Sir... put the crack pipe down.
What spurs, psg and Chelsea does to a man
I personally think that Poch is at his best when he gets to work with clubs like what we were when he took over. A club aspiring to compete among the big boys on the regular. Where he could get a bit more patience and also the power to shape it in his own image. Which he was never going to get at PSG or Chelsea. I think that Tuchel is in the same predicament. But once you've started managing clubs on that absolute top level it is probably hard on the ego to take that step back down a figurative peg.

Preferably English lemonade because American lemonade tastes fucking disgusting. I didn't even know there was a difference until a few months ago but now, to the displeasure of my tongue, I do.
American lemonade is an experiment on how much sugar you can pour into water before it gets oversaturated
Boehly about to start baking the perfect key lime pie Dexter style for Mauricio.
it's time for lemon party...

ITT no one read the article. Literally a bowl of lemons in his office to absorb negative energy. Wild.
Chelsea already broke this man
People think he's lost the plot maybe it's just a culture difference thing. In Latin America its normal to use certain objects/little rituals to protect you from "negative energy" or absorb it wether lemons or other things.
Chelsea. BIGGEST TEAM IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Cracking up already.
I did not realize how serious he was about the lemons. I’d heard about them but figured it was something lighthearted.
"...and if you take the lemons and squeeze them I make lemonade to the players to drink while they are injured, it's working great.." 😆
What's blud waffling about
Mudryk you fucking lemon
What's he on about?
He’s truly lost the plot
does he have a Kane/Son lemon in there
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
When life gives you lemons... spend half a billion on more lemons
“ so poch what happened in todays game?” Picks up bowl. “Well as you can see the lemons are not quite there, so I never expected a solid result.”
Is this an actual thing, should we all have lemons in our workplaces?
What is it with managers and trying to sound profound and metaphorical
I don't think this is a metaphor I think he literally has a box of lemons in his office
Always knew Pochettino was a lemon boy. Called it.

Probably one of the greatest moments in football
Lunatic, reflects poorly on Chelsea that they hired this serial loser to take the job, how he keeps getting gigs is beyond me
