Manager Jose Mourinho

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I'm glad you said that.

The answer explains why we also don't invest in good players anywhere near as much as we should. Simply put it's down to greed for immediate gain with lack of foresight.

Levy didn't want to pay the Wijnaldum money because he thought we could get somebody cheaper in. We couldn't. Result was having to go for Sissoko and having no choice.
Levy thought hiring a new manager would be cheaper than Poch's rebuild. Wrong. Result was a higher paid manager who has brought in 9 players and needs at least 3 or 4 more most likely at high cost.
You cannot say whether the players brought in under Mourinho have been cheaper or not than what Poch wanted.

The most expensive has been Bergwijn which was around £27m while we paid £25m for Sessegnon and £55m for Ndombele.

Personally don't like to focus too much on transfer fees as there are many factors that go into it. At the end of the day, what matters is the quality of players in the squad and we are currently lacking in several positions if we want to be title contenders.

Mourinho, Poch, or any other manager still need quality players to work with.
 
I se you are another "fan" who doesn't care if we win our games or not.
Taking out the Aurier feck ups our form this season is 22-7-2.

We've won 2 league games in our last 8 league games. That's a fact.

That form has seen us go from top of the league to 6th in the league, outside of the Champions League places, 4 points off 4th and 8 points off top.

Brilliant, we beat Stoke, Brentford, Wycombe and Marine over that same period of time. Awesome. Let's hope beating those teams can lead to something.

But I'm not going to get excited about our form when we play like shit and the league results have proven as much.

We'd have lost 2 games without Aurier fuck ups?

If you take out the fuck up against Liverpool - we lose 2-1.
If you take out the fuck up against Leicester - we lose 1-0.
We lost to Antwerp due to a Davies error.
We lost to Everton and Aurier didn't even play.
We lost to Liverpool 2-1 due to a deflected goal and a corner.

So what games do we turn from losses to draws or wins without these Aurier fuck ups?

Again - you can support Mourinho without sucking his cock through bad form. We all want Mourinho to be a success at Spurs. But most of us realise what he's serving up is absolutely awful to watch and when we lose or drop points whilst playing absolutely terrible, he's going to get called out for it. He's the manager.
 
As per the results above Jose is doing a fantastic job.
The last three losses can be very confidently said to have Aurier's fingerprints all over them.
So you are another "fan" who doesn't care if we win our games or not.
Taking out the Aurier feck ups our form this season is 22-7-2.
In fact make that 24-5-2.
We got outshot 17-3 yesterday (and our goal was a worldie). Yet you are so simple minded you think aurier lost the game yesterday. As if one player was the difference... we weren’t in the same league as Liverpool yesterday
 
If we don't concede before HT v Leicester if we don't concede before HT Liverpool both games have totally different scenarios.
Anyways what ifs are a waste of time. and I'm out of this. IMO is different to your IMO.
I gave a factual answer to a poster's question.

So you're not taking away his errors then - you're completely changing the game. Got ya.

Do you think beside those errors, we actually deserved to get something from the Leicester and Liverpool games?

Give a factual answer to this - has our league form over the last 8 games been good enough and do you think we've played good football within these games?

You won't remember me but i was on this site 2 years ago. I need some help. please. I have reactivated my profile but am unable to make a comment on any topic. I have reached out to Admin Admin but no luck.. Please help.
 
Have been away for 2 years from this site. Poch gone Mourino in. Fuck this cunt. I have supported Spurs since 1977. I LOVE this club. I have been a lurker for 2 years, read every single comment. I cannot stay silent anymore.

Get this negative cunt out of my club.

A simple test is all that is needed when grading a Tottenham player. eg. If you saw Eric Dier playing for another club, would you say "I hope he signs for us?" NO. Same for the rest of our talentless fucks.

Yes, defend them if you want.

Sign them? No.


More at play here. Levy and Enic have fucked us time and time again.

Yes, pissed when posting (grammer..wordy no good) FUCKING ANNOYED!!!

The last three losses can be very confidently said to have Aurier's fingerprints all over them.
Toby scored an own goal vs Leicester. Dier let Firmino score as if he had a bet on it for the Liverpools first goal, Doherty got arsefucked for their second goal. Rodon defended like an idiot for the Mane goal. Those two defeats were going to happen with or without Aurier. In fact we gave 2 more goals in 45 minutes without Aurier on the pitch vs Liverpool.
