Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So why didn't he?


That lot went to City and sat behind the ball and got the point they were looking for, a point that has kept them in the race to win the league and yet there's fans here talking about philosophies and "attacking football" as we fight to hold 5th place.

The gap is a chasm and it's made worse by the fact we finished above these for a few years only for them to win silverware during it and to bounce back and challenge for leagues while we harp on about a fraudster being right about not employing a set piece coach cos he has Mile Jedinak and insisting on playing a high line with all out attack no matter the opposition.

What a great mentality that will breed into the players eh?

We could be down to 9 against Chelsea at home or we could have a chance to stop the scum winning the league, doesn't matter cos we'll play naive football to please the so called "fans".
firstly we’re at home. Woolwich played more reserved at city. It wasn’t everyone behind the ball, clearing it up to no one. They got more defensive towards the end of the game. We’re also at different stages as teams. Early Arteta Woolwich had loads of performances where they tried to be the dominant team and got taken apart by teams being Calculating and sucker punching them. They had to go through that period. People conveniently forget that
 
A lot of bullshit spoken last summer about how "all Spurs fans want is a team that entertains, regardless of the result". We were portrayed as a fanbase that would clap and cheer if players were balancing the ball on the end of their nose.
There were many on here with that losers mindset. It's like Levy's own loser philosophy trickling down and infecting the fanbase.

"Ooohh just give me good football and I'm a happy billybob"

Hey, Bill-bao Bob Bill-bao Bob ,you happy today, matey?
 
Rodgers got found out in this league, Wee Ange is also getting found out. These types of manager have a pretty style of football which they will persist with even when it’s not working. (Yes Rodgers won a cup but apparently we don’t like winning cups at Spurs).

Football clubs with ambition should never, ever hire a manager who has won the Buckfast League. Let them earn their stripes elsewhere first.

Managers like Arteta are the exception, not the norm. Usually when you hire a high pedigree of coach, you win the big prizes.

If Rodgers had the season he had in 13/14 here he'd still be the manager and he'd have the same clowns claiming he just needs another window or 2 to sort the squad out.

No need to worry about the fact he cost them the title by being too gung ho when they could have just played for a draw etc.

These clowns on here would have lapped it up.

The PL's most successful manager ever came straight from the Scottish league.

Too many cunts in our fan base let him off the hook with the appointment of Postecoglou which was bizarre in itself.

There's a nasty trend reappearing on TFC of posters on here calling other fans clowns, cunts and everything in in between because they're not having a meltdown. It's almost like people have different opinions and expectations and you can't cope with it.

I'd be astonished if you've done anything more about your grievances than be a loudmouth on the internet.
 
We signed Romero when we had Conference League football under Nuno mate. I am sure we'll be fine ffs.

Talk about reactionary.

Signing players is normally about money. Chavs never have any issue signing anybody. All that in the CL bolloxs is nonsense most players/agents if they get more cash will come. Obviously being in the CL gets you money which helps.
 
I agree that he won't be backed to the extent we go and spend 80m and 70m on positions we need like Klopp did (Van Dijk and Allison).

He's been backed pretty heavily so far though. So I hope it continues and we make the right signings, regardless of fee.
I'm not going to pretend Klopp hasn't been backed, but the catalyst for VVD and Allison was selling Coutinho for £140m.
