I recognise that sacking Ange is not going to be the answer. However, that is no reason to keep him.

The only way to get that parasitic little prick Levy out is that the pressure builds on him. And that will happen irrespective of Ange’s position. If Ange stays it will continue to deflect and get worse and worse. Levy won’t want to have to make a move, so anything that makes him uncomfortable is alright with me.

Times up. Fuck off.
 
When are we going to stop forcing our poor little players to play these kinds of games? They're so obviously beneath them. Nice warm afternoons/evenings at home against semi decent opposition is all they should be subjected to. They shouldn't be expected to turn up to tight grounds like Selhurst park, or play on nasty cold days like today against smaller opposition. They have far better things they can be doing.
Absolutely. Hope they don’t have to train too much in this weather too. Maybe Ange should just email their parents and tell them to stay at home. It’ll be Christmas soon so it’s no wonder their little minds are wondering too. Bless them!

Wouldn’t be a pen now as today proved
 
Consistency has been our biggest problem so far and we've lost both games before the last international breaks! So for them reasons I'm taking nothing for granted against Ipswich!

I watched Ipswich play last week and they were completely robbed. They were 1-0 up, dominating and should have had a penalty. Ref decided not to give the penalty and then in the same play sent Kalvin Phillips off for the softest second yellow you will ever see. It was one of the worst robberies I've seen in a long time so they'll be 100% motivated this week and the referees will be under pressure to give them some leniency! Put it this way, they won't be giving us a penalty or sending off any of their players this weekend!

Also worth noting, that we could be without our two centre backs. We were also playing away in Turkey last night and had most our best team playing the last 30 mins with 10 mins so big chance of fatigue. We haven't had a bad Europa league hangover yet but this has all the markings to be one.

So for all them reasons, this has the potential to turn into a real banana skin. If the players think we can just show up and win easy, then we will get caught. We need to play to 100% and be aggressive from minute 1.

I hope everything I said above is complete nonsense and we win 4-0! :) COYS
I tried so hard. I really did. But the arrogance just swept through!
 
I said I wasn't going back after the AZ game. Caved in and bought a ticket for this last Thursday. Thankfully Managed to keep my total spend down to £105.

Hopefully I can stay strong and stay away for the rest of the season.
 
He has no fucking clue.

Should have locked the changing room door and ripped them a new ass.

Man's in dreamland.

BBC: Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was asked by Sky Sports about what work he could do over the international break.

"They all go away so there's nothing I can address in the next 13 days until I get them back," he said.
 
Imagine if we had an Eze or somebody to bring off the bench today instead of a bunch of kids who clearly aren't ready and need to be loaned out to learn their craft.

It's almost like some of us that called out that shit transfer window had it right as usual.
 
You're not wrong. Romero has fire, but seems to have gone off the boil. Son is hard-working, but weak. Madders is smart, but not intimidating. Dom is strong, but too nice. VdV is tall but young and a bit of a pretty boy. Who's left? Kulu? I love the guy, but he doesn't seem intimidating, though he surely inspires with this line-breaking efforts.

We need corrective surgery in Jan. 10% chance it happens.
Eh. This has been the story since Redknapp left, at least. Doesn't matter who the manager is or who is in the squad. The mentality is broken, weak, accepting of poor performances. Incapable of getting a result if a result is truly needed.

Ho-hum, shit happens, eh mate?

Club needs a culture transplant. Can't buy that in January nor June.
 
I'm not a big fan of Ange, I think he's extremely limited, but I dislike many of these players far more than him.
Pretty much what we're saying with my band here. Can't recall many Spurs squads I've disliked as much as I do this one. They're footballistically so poor, that's one thing. But so many of them are just unlikable as people. Very hard to identify with them, and it ain't just a generational thing...got a few 20yo at the gaff this pm, friends' kids, and they're saying the same.
 
It’s actually incredible how bad the mentality of this team is. We can genuinely lose to anyone.

Ipswich are playing with a much higher intensity than us in our own stadium. How are we just letting that happen?
This comes from the head honcho. When the chairman is happy to settle for 4th best, not even 3rd or 2nd let alone 1st then that reeks of complacency and lack of ambition.

It then filters down to the manager and staff who are happy to 'take a free hit' midweek. To me that reads I'm happy to lose. That doesn't breed a winning culture. Success breeds success. You then save your best team for Ipswich on the weekend, but because the midweek game went to shit they start complacently and without any energy and you get rolled over in both games.

The club is not serious and that starts at the top.

How can you expect fans to get behind that really and truly? And yet we have some of the most loyal match day going support in the land despite paying the highest ticket prices for the privilege.

It's all wrong. If it wasn't for the wider experience and the good people you get to meet along the way, I'd have packed it in a while ago. Travelled across the continent and back, spending hundreds of pounds to see us lose twice because we aren't taking these games seriously is unacceptable. But go figure, I'm the melon in all this and levy is raking it in.
