Spoke to 1882 1882 .

He wanted to apologise unreservedly to the forum. In particular reprobate reprobate Go on son and skywalker68 and anyone else that was compelled to reply.

No excuses, but in a nutshell fell off the wagon in spectacular style. His Jewish roots and upbringing have made him 'somewhat bitter' on the Jewish thing being used against Spurs.

As I said yesterday I will just add that 1882 1882 is lovely bloke in real life and you will not find a single TFC poster who has met him that would say otherwise.

We all make mistakes. Some unfortunately are in the public domain. Shame he has been cancelled for one mistake but that's modern life.

I for one would welcome him back.

Mate give him our regards, I don't believe there is anyone bad on this forum.
There are differences of opinion but that's natural, he was angered by the continued dross served up.
I think his anger was maybe misplaced, but you have vouched for his integrity on a daily basis and that's good enough for me 👍

not saying he's wrong but having heard Johnnie on a few pods etc I think he's a fucking prick and a stupid old fuck who gives an opinion like it's a fact.

Honestly, watching live in the stadium, I looked down at Son and a few others trudging to the halfway line, shoulders dropped, heads down. I literally said to the people i sit with "look at the state of that body language"
It was genuinely shocking. I don't remember us looking like that for a very long time. Usually if we concede there's some chest beating, the ball gets picked up and ran back to the halfway line and they're trying to make amends. But they looked like "we've been here before, over and over, and we're fed up with it"
 
Another year passes and our front three is Johnson Son Werner as soon as I saw that team before kick off with that front three I just knew we wouldn’t win. The squad is very poor depth wise and a few injuries killed us last season and is killing bus again this year where we have more games

That's my take away too, from all this.

I'm eternally grateful for Ange for a lot of things. We were a complete basketcase. He galvanised us, made us a team again and gave us the football we all wanted.

However times like this when he makes the wrong subs (or none at all) and he can't seem to react to how the game plays out - it just seems that all the good stuff he's done is in vain.

His game management is non-existant. He doesn't need to compromise his principles or attacking football. Just tweak things here and there. I don't know why he's so stubborn.

What was he meant to do different though, the
Bench was shocking , we need to invest in some sports scientists or something to see why we keep getting decimated by injuries , if it’s down to how they train between matches then it needs tweaking.

Kulusevski on the bench didn't help.
Been by far our best and fittest player this season.

I often think there's a point where you can tell a manager has had enough and they're happy to be sacked.
With Conte, for instance, it was bringing Davinson Sanchez on against AC Milan when we needed to score a goal. He was checking out that moment.

For me, leaving our best player by a country mile on the bench for 65 minutes was Ange's moment.

Imagine if Jose, or Conte had a similar record to Ange at this point of their first season?

Fans would be calling for their heads. I mean Jose was fired the week before a Cup final, less we forget.

In my opinion one of the biggest reasons Ange is still here is his handling of the media, and his bluffing about where the team is. We are forever on a learning curve with Ange, he is loathe to set targets for the team and often bemoans the number of fixtures and injuries (to some degree but all teams have these).

If the "kids" on the bench can't yet be trusted to start, why are they here, let alone predominantly being played in our most likely success that is the EL?

I don't think Levy will fire him this season, then again I didn't think he'd fire Jose a week before a final, or Conte even though he made an ass of Levy in that interview.

We are heading for mid-table and (on latest form) a fifteen season game loss. This may decide Ange's future, and if the season ends this way then he should go.

Levy appointed Ange cause he needed a nice bubbly chap who plays entertaining football, after getting us the opposite in Jose/Nuno/Conte.

That was a PR move, no more, no less. Just his way to appease the overall fanbase and keep the "oh well we're average but at least we're a fun watch and Ange says mate a lot" brigade on side...and spending money. Knew some of the media would love it too.

Certainly wasn't Levy showing ambition or expecting Ange to be the one taking us to those heights we so crave.

Nothing that man does is with the club's best interests at heart. Nothing. He's here to fill ENIC's boots and line his own pockets. Period.

Yeah I was saying this to mates prematch. It completely fucks us.

But we all knew this in the summer. We all said on here that the attack wasn’t good enough. It’s why I predicted eighth.

The keepers aren't good enough.

The defence ain't good enough.

The CM options aren't good enough.

The attack ain't good enough.

Our coaching staff is laughable.

Our board? Don't get me started.

The only ones who are good enough at Spurs are the (long-suffering) fans.

There's a reason we don't win anything, why top managers won't touch us with a borrowed dick, why elite players laugh at the idea of joining Spurs, why the media mock us.

Ange's aim is the cups hence he's trying to keep as fresh as possible his best XI.

Not long home, escaped with a draw really Forster kept us in it, thought the CBs were decent also.

The front 3 couldn't hold the ball up so it just kept coming back at us. Johnson scored but he was absolutely woeful otherwise, at times not wanting the ball and positioning himself in places to avoid it, half hearted pressing and playing with no heart at all.

Taking Mad off as they went down to 10 men didn't make any sense - we were gonna dominate possession clearly and we needed brains and guile out there. Yes he hadn't had a great game but he's still the one who can find a way.

We need Dom back badly for Thursday and Sunday, looked bereft up top without him.

Bravo, Sir...the most perfect description of Brennan Johnson.

I really, reeeeeeaaaaalllllly do not like that kid and he has a hell of a long way to go to earn our respect. He probably never will, cause he doesn't care about the club, just himself.

Only positive is if he bangs in another few goals, that'll keep his value up and there may be a team silly enough to pay us 40 odd mil for him.

Missed the game today as I’m having a short break in Greece. Was grinding my teeth furiously, inwardly, cursing everything about this stupid club whilst trying to pretend to all around that I’m having a good time.

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has genuinely ruined my life. How many days, weekends, months, years have been destroyed by this pathetic, culturally broken, insipid yet wholly failed group of deluded, privileged, protected wasters? Nearly 35 years since we won anything meaningful. What a shambolic embarrassment.

I honestly don’t know what to make of Ange. I want him to be the one. He seems frustrated and lost in his own idealistic fantasy land. But how can anyone ever be the one whilst living under the false fluffy cloud dictatorship of the greedy bald one and our atrocious board of materialistic henchmen.

This club is utterly undeserving of the fans. Incredible support home and away. Hordes of folk from Tottenham to Texas, from Stevenage to Seoul, utterly devoted and committed to the lilywhite shirt. Fuck knows on what basis. We’re dirty, filthy poison. In and amongst the wokery of today, surely every Tottenham ticket or purchase should come with the most serious of health warnings.

This drug don’t work.

Respectfully; that's not true.

He's literally only just got back from a ban for similar shit (albeit about Italians).

I didn’t realise at the time the guy was on a booking. How the ref missed this second booking and the red card I’ll never know.

He didn't miss it. He knew full well that was a foul and a booking...but he also knew it'd be a second yellow bare minutes after his first and so he felt bad for poor Lukic & Fulham, so he let him off. Silva saw that, took Lukic off immediately, brought on Cairney and who got their goal?...

That said, the ref didn't cost us the two points. We were ultra shite and even a man down Fulham coulda won it.

Draw flatters us big time.

Honestly, I'd reached the point of being fed up with their chest beating and tough guy talk a long time ago, so often it led to nothing, and it pissed me off that they reacted like that as though they were in shock that the dross they were putting up on the pitch had been punished.

At least like this they're being open and honest about the flipping soaking wet lettuces they all are.
