This is a very odd season. Unless I'm reading the table wrong (which is possible), we're only 3 points off 3rd place. Doesn't mean I'm satisfied with how Spurs have played, but it does mean I'm not giving up on the season yet.

We literally started 3 or 4 kids away at one of the toughest places to go in the competition, the reason we done that is because we had one eye on today , and Richie got injured versus Villa

Sorry, my head is tired after watching that and I made a mistake in that post. Yes, we should have played a stronger team against Galatasaray because they had the likes of Osimhen, and we had Dragusin, and I was wrong to suggest we should play the kids before that game. However, if you are going to play the kids, go all the way and leave your first team at home so that you can win at the weekend. Because we already had VdV and Richarlison injured, and we got the rest of our first team like Kulu, who I meant to say, picking up knocks trying to rescue the others that got themselves down to 10 men.

In other words, I don't consider it playing the kids if you still fuck up in flying out all of your first team and using them anyway. It was an experimental 11 that didn't work first half, just like Newcastle away or West Ham at home. It wasn't the right place to try it given their strengths. However, if you are going to play the kids, for the sake of winning today, I wouldn't even bother flying out the first team. There is no point in going half and half, experimental. You have to go all in to get any benefit.

That's another fabrication of hindsight, though, isn't it?

Every time we stumbled under Poch, Levy and Poch were straight out the gate making the excuse that we were "ahead of schedule". It was ok Leicester won the League off us - we were ahead of schedule. It was ok we bottled the LC final - we were ahead of schedule. It was ok we wilted in Madrid - we were ahead of schedule.

Really was not our day. The deflection off Dragusin was unlucky. The disallowed handball would have gone in anyway. Being 2 down meant that when we did score the opposition were still ahead and carried on fighting. We must sort out this giving a goal start in every match. Shame it is MC away next.
No need for overreaction. Nothing like being overrun like last Thursday when we were not good enough.

Stop now. Are you telling me losing at home to a winless after resting our so called first players is the same??? We were pathetic, disgraceful whatever ye wanna put on it.

A lot of teams above us have stumbled, but our total points haul right now is poor, and only inconsistent results of better teams are making us look decent 3pts off 3rd right now.

No chance. Sadly Ange has done enough lately to paper over losing to Ipswich.

But if we do lose to them it is really a horrific embarrassment and he needs to have his nose rubbed in it. Pathetic to get outhustled like this.

No that is too many games now we have been awful under this manager. Our corners and crossing are pathetic how many ended up down the goalies throat. His substitutions are and in game management are generally crap. In what world did he think having just bent as a midfielder after Sarr goes off leaving a front 5 of kulu Johnson turbo son and solanki was goi g to rescue the points. Johnson should have hooked at HT for MADDs. It’s criminal that MADDs is up there in the chance creation stats but he gets 10 mins when the game is being manipulated by Ipswich when we need 2 goals. Johnson literally offered nothing that 2nd half yet sees over 35 mins. Yet our most creative player gets less than 10. Turbo did far more in his time than Johnson and that is saying something. Lulu is just an huff and puff player who sometimes creates or scores but has a glass ceiling. Solanki when needed doesn’t offer enough quality bar he’s work rate. We needed quality to break them down they just needed typical spurs to score.

If you had a clue yourself you would realise that it is a statement of fact that we are 3 points behind Forest, who are in 3rd place, and it obvioussly wasn't our day because we had a goal chalked off and missed many chances that we normally put away.

Nobody gives a fuck about that, you thick fucking cunt. We’ve just lost at home to the worst fucking team in the division.

Read the room and take a day off from being an annoying idiot. If you can manage that.
