He should have added ‘And Plan A was sussed last season!’
How long have you been supporting us? Some of the football played under Poch was brilliant.
We're not beating Tamworth. We'll lose and be humiliated, and the worst thing is that the Ange Cultists will meekly accept it.
My optimism stems mostly from the idea that we've bottomed out due to the injuries. Being so much stronger than the teams below us in the standings I don't see us going lower. And some of the teams ahead of Spurs will likely slip back some.
It's ok gang, this genius on Reddit has figured it all out. We're losing all the games on purpose to fool Arne Slot https://www.reddit.com/r/Tottenham/s/BHQO60ipVb
Remember when we were looking to appoint slot and the rumour was levy didnt want to pony up for him. Fun times.
And dominant. We were in control. Used to physically bully teams. I could sit back and enjoy games regularly.
Fucking miss it.
This is the worst position the club has been in since it almost went under before sugar bought us and since relegation in 1978. Maybe even worse. We as fans are paralysed under levy. We have nowhere to turn.
Levy probably wants 20bn for a 1% stake and to remain as chairman indefinitely
Made the mistake of looking at the comments on the official account’s latest instagram post. Some terrifying stuff.
Yeah there was a feeling going into games with Poch as coach for a good 2 seasons where i was pretty confident of a result every week. Looking back, at the results and performances though, I think I have a fonder memory now of some games and performances than I likely did at the time but still the final two 3rds of the 2016/17 season were the most relaxed I've ever been as a Spurs fan.

But we are heading in the right direction and building something
Here are PPM numbers for the managers we had in the last 20 years. Don't think I forgot any full-time manager, or something major is wrong with the data. But feel free to correct if you think so.
Santini: 13 points from 12 matches. 1.08/match
Jol: 171 points from 112 matches. 1.52/match
Ramos:41 points from 36 matches. 1.13/match
Redknapp: 250 points from 144 matches. 1.73/match
AVB: 99 points from 54 matches. 1.83/match
Pochettino:382 points from 202 matches. 1.89/match
Mourinho: 95 points from 58 matches. 1.63/match
Nuno: 15 points from 10 matches. 1.5/match
Conte: 105 points from 56 matches. 1.87/match
Ange: 89 points from 55 matches. 1.61/match
He's somewhere in the middle of the pack. He's way below Pochettino and Redknapp, considering how big of a sample they had compared to him. His sample size is identical with Conte's and AVB's, and he's significantly below them as well. Santini and Nuno had too small of samples to make a clear comparison, but they probably wouldn't be able to keep up with him regardless. So I consider him above these two. He's surprisingly almost identical with Mourinho right now. He's doing slightly better than Jol, but he may not be here long enough to catch him in the number of matches so it's hard to compare. Finally, he's obviously doing much better than Ramos.
*Solely league matches btw

I can't actually believe some of the fuck ups he is making with the media,, it's not even just the on the pitch stuff he's shit at.
Giving stupid soundbites like "are you not entertained?", it just going to be thrown back at you especially when you are overseeing such shite results including conceding 13 in 3 home games. Now we have to put up with Drury rubbing it in, repeating 'are you not entertained?" on comms everytime we concede a goal. Ange is so far out of his depth it's absurd.
I watched his interview on the official site, he just looks totally lost. He knows he has no answers. I've never seen a manager look so out of his depth. It would be funny if it wasn't happening to our club. His only default response, is to keep repeating the same things,
" I won't change"
"it's who we are"
"we lacked intensity"
"injuries"
"well we are the only team who scored 3 goals against them this season" Oh well done, do you want a fukin medal? we lost 6-3. Do you know how small time that sounds? We are Spurs and we have a manager going 'well we scored 3 times against them' like we are Yeovil town. A proper manager would never say that.
I literally watch his interview and cringe.
And it is this complete lack of self awareness, of adaptabilty, of any tactical nouse, which is why he needs to go now.
Nothing will change or improve with this imposter.
And just publicly saying things like, it's who we are mate, we only play one way, won't change, I can't honestly believe people buy this crap? Blind leading the blind comes to mind.

I don’t like you anymore and I disagree with 99% of your trolling posts but I have to agree with this. I miss prime Poch performances - entertaining AND solid.
What if we all clubbed in to build a statue of him outside the stadium on condition he sells up and fucks off immediately? You in?
Thank god for the caveat otherwise I was about to send the wedding invite.
