They'll batter us tonightImagine calling this manager shit and wanting him to be sacked and acknowledging our squad is weak and our chairman not strengthening it adequately only to think we're gonna batter Bournemouth away from home despite having a depleted squad running on empty![]()
I don't think he even supports Spurs, never seen him get upset with a loss, he rarely even appears in match chats.

His sole purpose on here seems to be as a wind up merchant.
That would surprise absolutely no one that's been watching us this season.
No you won't...My bad, I'll post a video of me crying on screen next time we lose just for you.
A master of his craftNo you won't...
What you will do though is creep back several days after the latest travesty on the pitch to offer up fake positivity, gas light and wind everyone up.
That's your niche

Are you really satisfied with our progress as a club?Speaking of creeping back, you were meant to leave the site after a bet last season weren't you, what happened there?
Not that anyone should give a toss really because it's as boring as fuck but seeing as you have this obsession with me bringing up irrelevant shit I might just do it as well, how about that![]()
Nobody was speaking to you.That's rich as fuck coming from Mr-No-Integrity-Bet-Welch who told us he came back cos the forum needs him.

Are you going into tonight's game confident of a win?
Is big Ange still doing it for you?
How long will it take with us being mediocre and predictable as fuck before you stop backing Levy? Another 10 years? 15?
Do you have any interesting takes on anything?
Here is your chance to gaslight floor is yours...
I honestly don't think Levy blames himself for them 4 years...or anything that's wrong with Spurs. He'll always pin it on someone else and hide while the dust settles. Guy has zero accountability, he's all pure egocentrism and, mainly, he gives zero fucks about us fans as long as we keep spending.Yeah I think what they say and what they do are very different. Levy tried the win now managers in Conte and Mourinho where they bought experienced players and he probably sees them 4 years as a complete mistake.
Actions speak louder than words and it seems we are only willing to spend money on young talents who might not help the team now. We were willing to pay 40m on Archie Gray but not Conor Gallagher for example. Also going for Odobert when Neto and Eze were on the market is another example. The proof is in the pudding. Thats why I can't see them sacking Ange this season. Levy knows he didn't sign any players (bar Solanke) who were going to instantly improve the squad this season. Instead he is hoping we can do what we did under Poch and turn this young team into a compettive team but that could take years and is no guarantee it'll ever happen.

It's incredibly expensive to run a football club, John. The accounts are published annually, we're not making a ton of profit stuffed in the owners' pockets. Last accounts showed a massive loss, and even more to come on FY2024 with no payments from European football last season.
Unlike Conte and Mourinho who we brought in as purely short term solutions to try and win now while we had peak Harry Kane, Ange was brought in as a project manager. I believe it was accepted within the hierarchy that we would not be competitive for a few years and that we'd use these years to bring the wage bill down, average age of squad down, start playing exciting football again, etc. Basically Ange is doing what they brought him in to do! Thats why I think there is a 90% chance he gets this season
I have a theory on thatThis might be one of the worst things I've read in my life.
We're not fucking Crystal Palace. Bring the wages bill down? We're already slipping behind the the big clubs. The stadium was meant to bring parity not austerity.
