Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If you look at his personality, winning history and style of play then he is a great fit for us. Finally we have a coach who could make us better than the sum of our parts and will improve players. We haven’t had that since Poch. This is a great appointment and only our most negative bores will be anything other than excited.

Sum greater than its parts is exactly what we’re trying to do again.

I am looking forward to some of this!

With Klopp’s girny chin on the end of a right hook hopefully!
 
I think his first season goes the same as Poch’s

Tough start and a few questions asked but then we start to see what football he is trying to play and get some good results along the way (the 5-3 against chelsea as an example)

Stick with him and I think we’re on the right track for the rebuild we so desperately need
I'm with you, my man.

To be honest, for his first season with us, I'd be fairly happy finishing in the top 6-8 provided we score as many (or thereabouts) as last season but concede like 20ish fewer goals...and if we get there by playing front-foot, brave football, then that's fucking brill. Sick of that shit where we gift the opposition 75% possession and play 90% of the game in our defensive third.

Add to that a run to the semis or even final of the glorious FA Cup...and if/when we fall, let it be with honours.

Never been that bothered about the fucking Carabooboo Cup (should only be the league + 1 cup comp), but heck...a trophy is a trophy and say we reached the 1/4 or 1/2 in Ange's first year at Spurs, I'm sorry but that's some right positive start and one to build on.

Fucking Dan Dan, Donna and the rest of them boardroom mugs won't help Ange, so let's make sure us fans bloody give the big fella some unconditional love & support.

He was yacking on about Celtic being the better team when they got beat by Real Madrid. Which was 0-3 at home and 5-1 away.

If there is a Spurs fan with a pulse that is happy getting beat 8-1 over two games but passing it about a bit, they need their fucking head checked. That's how low Scottish football is. Losing in the 95th Minute having gone toe to toe maybe.
Not 3-0 and 5-1. That's winning without even trying in RM's part
And they then got absolute ran over then reversed on by City.
 
Did you see the Liverpool branded candles left at Auschwitz?

They really are the most detestable club on the planet.
I think my user name speaks for itself but I hate them more than the scum and Chelski. Biggest bunch of wankers on the planet.
Utter chip on their shoulder and victim complex. loathe them. Them beating us in the CL through a soft pen alty capped it off.
 
As a Dundee United (and Spurs) fan who’s sat at Tannadice and watched as his team gave us 9 in one game without reply, and win his first title at our stadium (a game we actually took a point off them in, and sealed Europe) I can honestly say I’m excited about this on two levels.

One, because it means I no longer have to watch my team regularly take a hiding off his Celtic team. I know some people will say “well, it’s Celtic, they give hidings to every other Scottish team, it’s a tin-pot league, blah, blah, blah”. The first part at least is true, but Ange’s Celtic team is different. At least in previous years you had hope that you could maybe take something from the game, a point or even the very occasional late winner. Under Ange, it’s just a case of how many? You would take a 2 or 3 nil going into the game, his teams are that good, and that ruthless. Watching his Celtic team give mine 9 was a horror show, nearly every goal was identical, winger comes inside, splits the fullback and the centre half, and plays a short cutback across the 6 yard box for a tap in. Watch the highlights, I only managed once, just to torture myself (I walked out after the 4th went in). His team would go on 30+ unbeaten runs where no one would lay a glove on them, they only started dropping a few points this season after they sealed the title, and were on course for something like 109 points till then, before that I think they’d dropped points in like 2 games this season, which even for Celtic is abnormal.

The second reason I’m excited is cause I know he’s gonna get us playing the type of football we all want to see Spurs play. He’s a million miles removed from the two dinosaurs we’ve had in the past 4 years. He will not change his principles for anyone, he wants his teams to play fast, attacking possession based football with inverted fullbacks and midfield runners getting into the box, and constant pressing with his famous motto “We never stop”. He wants his teams to entertain and attack constantly, not just sitting trying to hold onto a 1-0 lead against Everton, a fucking world away from what we’ve been dished up by Conte and José. Give him a bit of time (his first 6 weeks or so at Celtic you could see the players were still trying to adapt to his methods) and I know every single one of you’s is going to love Ange. He’s defo a manager that’ll play football the Spurs way.
 
Well yes you can find examples either way and I'm sure we can go all day to counter each other's points but I was merely using that as an example because the narrative in here suggests that all club signings = bad and we are the only club who do it which is wrong.

In this example, Spence and Udogie were not players signed for Conte and shouldn't be counted towards saying 200m was spent on Conte, which is false.
 
The clip on Sky Sports News now is impressive. He seems an incredibly grounded and decent bloke. Definitely makes you root for him. Can see how he gets players playing for him.
