Exactly the same 2 things for me, did your lost parcel contain beer? If it was there's clearly some c**t at Evri who is very thirstyThere's 2 things I'm watching for today.
My seemingly lost Evri parcel and Ange getting sacked.
My money is on the parcel showing up.
Ange is clearly in big trouble and might be sacked in the next couple of weeks .I think it’s Important that we resign ourselves to continued failure whoever we get in to avoid disappointment though . ENIC have overseen 25 years of failure , the idea that a new manager will do anything other than maybe tighten the defence a bit is fantasy . It will be another rebuild on the cheap , more false promises from the intern and the inevitable sacking of whoever replaces Ange .
I accept the Ange hiring has not worked out , but I am not going to allow myself to get excited by whoever the next sacrificial lamb is .
If you’re Ange you don’t turn the job down , he is knocking on and this gig is by far his biggest payday . The bile should still be directed at ENIC after Ange has no doubt been inhumanely put down with maximum lack of class by our ever more useless chairman.
When Ange goes we will not stop being a laughing stock . Levy has made us a banter club long before Ange and we will continue to be ridiculed as long as the world’s worst intern remains at the club.
Oh, NOW you're looking at the last 6Last 6 league games 4 points.

Med too. Ordered a jacket from Santa for Christmas. Still haven't arrived. But today I got some tracking updates, so there is at least some hope for that today.Exactly the same 2 things for me, did your lost parcel contain beer? If it was there's clearly some c**t at Evri who is very thirsty
I don’t think we win the first leg with Ange. It’s that simple.Just watching Sean Butler
Hes been getting massively on my nerves about ENIC for a while, but he's massively heel-turned on Ange now.
Raises a really worrying point. If he fluked a win vs Liverpool and we win the league cup, we'd look bad for sacking him.
My opinion is he HAS to go before the 1st leg.
99% sure we won't win anyway, but let's not give him some kind of leg up to staying any longer
What about the first 10?I’m always looking at the last 6 games. And last 10.
Get with the programme!
I would say Vicario IS world class at shot stopping! The rest, not so much!Forgot to put him in. Although he was hideously out of form for the start of the season anyway and people wanted Dragusin in!
We're missing a CB partnership and a goalkeeper. That will obviously hurt you. But ultimately Vicario, whilst good, is not world class. He's not even close to it. He was having an iffy season along with Romero. Only VDV out of those 3 was putting in performances that you'd expect to be transformative.
Those 3 injuries + the other players out you'd expect to cause a drop off. I wouldn't expect to draw at home to Wolves or to concede 6 at home or some of the other shite we've experienced. And regardless, our most embarrassingly crap results occurred prior to all these injuries! Palace and Ipswich were utterly dreadful outings.

He screams relegation to me. He doesn't start for any other club in the league but we are expected to play him for 4 months and still be challenging for Europe? This is why I'm happy to give Ange a chance to get his players back. The current crop of available players has us around midtable at best. Even yesterday from Wolves, Sa, Ait Nouri, Gomes, Cunha and one one of their centre backs would all start for our current team so the 2-2 draw isn't even that much of an underperformanceI would say Vicario IS world class at shot stopping! The rest, not so much!
We still need a much better goalkeeper than Forster tho, he screams midtable club.
Why do we need to get top 7???Can Ange coach this team to at least 10 wins this next half of the season? I think we need about that much to get top 7. 54 pts should do it, right?
My biggest problem with today’s game is some people say he was more pragmatic and the full backs weren’t inverting. I watched today’s game and was baffled by the actual tactics. We seemed to have no connection between attack and defence they were miles apart most the match. On top of that we played 70 minutes with a double Pivot. It all just seemed to disjointed and chaotic. Where have all the small triangles gone from the start of last season?
Everything about Spurs now looks undrilled and off the cuff. Our press seems to have no trigger and too often it is only one player pressing. Bissouma and Bentancur look completely confused what they are meant to be doing. Also why is Maddison all of a sudden benched when in a few games he has been our best player. On another note why are Son and Johnson used so poorly and not used to their strengths.
We should be going hard.Iraola is my no 1 choice tbh but I doubt he comes 'til the summer.
When I pointed out our 0.66ppg the other day you seemed stumped.I’m always looking at the last 6 games. And last 10.
