So now your justifying losing to spam just because in they are 2nd in the form guide based on the last few games. Well we were top or 2nd can’t recall and palace got a draw against us. Temporary form doesn’t mean a tram is great or we can’t beat them! Look at us we were too after 10 games yet have fallen off a cliff. So your logic is that it is ok to lose to spam now bcos they are 2nd in the form guide. You jose fan boys just don’t give up do you. I mean how did pool beat spam considering the run they , pool , are on?Premier League Form Table

Wasn’t how we played v Everton. City, yes.
I hear a lot of you pay 'lip service' by admitting that our players are making lots of individual errors, but you somehow then place most of the blame at the feet of our manager! Like he coached the player to make the mistake! (am I the only one who thinks this is madness?)
Jose coaches the team, so he is not totally without blame...and when his tactics/selections result in a bad performance, I do blame him and I want him to learn (fast) and do better....but I don't feel that his tactics are the main problem, except for maybe 3 or 4 games this season. Right now, he is a manager who does not have a team that can play his way....so yes, mistakes will happen as square pegs are (usually by necessity) placed into round holes.
It is plainly obvious that we have some players that are simply not good enough and that is what is hurting our form the most right now. Jose has barely started with the 'painful rebuild' we all knew was coming, so sacking him now is just not a solution I can get with.
Jose must stay to finish the job, something he has actually done quite brilliantly at a few other clubs already...oh and this may take longer than we would prefer, mainly because of the state we were in well BEFORE Jose arrived...and the fact that we are not the richest team around!
I think that some of us have run out of patience too soon, maybe it's because Poch had us believing in dreams and we miss the good times, or maybe it's because Jose was once 'the enemy' and we can't forget...or because some of us put 'style' above success....etc etc etc
Whatever, I want us to win things first and foremost, our style of play is secondary to me...and it will improve with better players anyway, so patience is key right now.
I trust in Jose 100% to deliver and win things with us and I'm pretty sure Levi does too, that's all that matters in reality.

He won't leave RB mid-season when they're challenging for domestic honours (only 5 pts off Bayern) and still in the knockout stages of the CL (for now..!). Why would he?!
By the end of the season plenty of clubs will be reassessing their managerial positions depending on how the season pans out. Real or Barca,depending on who doesn't win the title,for one (or even both it Athletico win).
Agreed that now would be our best chance to get him but I don't see why he would ultimately take a step down in the context of this season alone?
Jose...is that you?
Mourinhos “style “ makes everyone look crap. Same was said about him in his 2nd spell at Chelsea. Can’t help but feel regardless of all the BS he comes out with his heart isn’t in it for spurs. This is the man who left RM to go back to Chelski and proclaimed his ultimate love for them! He only went to manure bcos Fergie prbly persuaded him and it was a big ego trip for him with a blank cheque. Here out fool the chairman gave him a blank cheque to write his own salary.
to be honest I don’t really see much disappointment in him or even really anger apart the blank stare whe we are losing.
Do you really think anyone is celebrating?
Maybe closer to pointing out that we maybe shouldn’t all be tying nooses for ourselves.
He literally mentioned how we're 5 points better off, scored more and conceded less than at the same stage last season as some way of saying how Mourinho is doing a good job.
In the last 16 years, only 4 seasons have been worse than this one. And in 3 of those seasons the manager got sacked.
No chance he leaves midseason I agree.
I think Barca is going with Xavi next so they are out.
Maybe RM.
Honestly I think there is maybe a 10% chance at best we get him but it isn’t as easy for him to go to a bigger club as some seem to be suggesting.
Woolwich may very well sack theirs and get him. They've been in disaster mode sing Wagner like we have been since our CL final.
I know what he literally mentioned. Didn’t see any sign of celebrating. But you did, so all good.
You know I'm actually proud of how fair I've been to the man. I knew he was shot even watching in the charm offensive he was on in SKY/BT studio's. I never brought the 'I've changed' bullshit. Mourinho is a Trump level narcissist , and like him evokes cult like loyalty. But listen to him talk to people, listen to how he talks about people, how he talks about football, he is a relic of a bygone sporting and social culture. Modern management in most businesses do not relate like this to people any more. Still I gave him the benefit of the doubt and was encouraged by early results if not the football...but my god has he lived down to expectations he has arrived at the burn everything stage in record time. This is his last big job he is being currently out coached by Allerdyce Dyche, and David Moyes he has no place left to hide.
Well perhaps he should adapt his approach to fit the way his team can play then?
One of his fawning fans.
Edit: I should add, he thinks a jeans company is the chairman of the club.

Hmmm really? That's a bit much mate his only on 15 million pounds a year....
Sounds good doesn’t it saying 30 years.
Let’s have a look though.
1990-1999......ok to utter dross, won two trophies
2000-2010 utter dross, to decent to excellent, won a trophy
2011-2015 crap
2016-2018 excellent
2019 mixture of really good to utter, utter shit
Then the Jose era.
So basically when Poch was sacked, out of those 30 years we’d been good to excellent in:
2005/6/7/8
2009-11
2016-18
About seven proper good seasons, and Poch managed two of them

Believe what you want.
If you don't think Pochettino has been our best manager since the Prem began. Good for you?
It’s ironic when he’s celebrating his wet dream next manager getting smacked at home in the CL because it means we can get him cheaper for being crap
