Completely apathetic about Spurs at the moment. Could barely watch the last game as the stream wasn't working and I honestly wasn't even that bothered.
My mates birthday tonight so will miss the game. Usually I'd avoid the score and watch when I get in but I am just feeling so disillusioned and fed up with Spurs under Ange.
It sounds ridiculous but even the City game felt like a hollow victory. I can't explain it really, but it didn't have the same effect that similar wins have had over the years for me. I think it's because deep down I know we are an utterly average team and are going nowhere fast.
Whereas in previous years we had some genuine world class talent, you only have to look at our squad and the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Woolwich etc to know we are a million miles away now.
Yes I do want Ange gone, I've listed all the reasons multiple times, but he isn't solely to blame.
Anyone remember the club leaking through Ally Gold or another spurs journalist back in August that the club had decided not to sign a CM because of the progress that Bergval and Gray had shown in training? LMAO. This is the same Bergval who is stinking it up in Europa league games and looks miles off, and Gray who has shown glimpses yet is being played at full back by Ange and only gets fleeting appearances, because again understandably he isn't ready yet. Yet these two were supposed to be our big summer window, along with Odobert and Solanke and clearly the club championed it and used it as an excuse not to sign proper top talent.
You only have to look at our summer window, and compare it to the other top 5 to see the complete lack of ambition from Levy and the board. I seriously still can't believe that our big summer window was two teenagers and Solanke.
If that isn't indicative of the sorry state of affairs at our club nothing is. There is simply no excuse for it, there wasn't then or now, and as time has gone by it's been made to look even worse, if that was possible. Solanke has been decent but is being run into the ground. We need better quality in the front 3 too and Odobert should never have been our sole wide attacking signing. Him getting injured for pretty much the whole season, well let's be honest, Levy deserves it. We don't of course.
I don't know which Spurs will show up tonight. Season really is at a cross roads, a couple more defeats this week and it starts to look really grim.
I think Iraola will tactically do a number on Ange. But we could easily turn up and win 3 nil tonight but in reality my money is on Bournemouth. I thought we'd get battered at City and look how that turned out.
A win tonight doesn't change anything for me though unfortunately. I simply cannot see this side going anywhere under Ange, and all he is doing with these odd wins is papering over the cracks and delaying the inevitable.
Merry Christmas.
