Bentancur, Bissouma,,,Solanke,Son,Johnson,Madison,Dejan ,Porro……that is pretty much our first 11 except for Vic, BdV and Romero. Our attack and midfield against Wolves were poor.
Actually thought our second goal was fucking beautiful and involved our attack and midfield.

Also thought we created some fantastic chances in the second half despite sitting deeper more than I’d like.

The result was bad but honestly it was an unlucky resul. Well, as unlucky as you can be when you concede 2 at home.
 
I'm watching some nutter on youtube trying to explain why the earth is flat.
And it's literally no different to people explaining why we should keep Ange.
Ignore ALL the evidence. Just claim it's fake.
 
Post match he’s still doubling down on not being able to rotate Destiny when Destiny didn’t play against Forest.

Again, he might not want to use him but Reggie is there. It’s a refusal to rotate as well as concerns over depth.

There’s of course poor fortune, but he’s working these players into the ground. All that running and intestity for what?
Reggie is no more than a LB who can't defend, can't cross but runs up an down the left hand side. Honestly Murph, Mitchell Thomas was (probably still is) a better LB!!!

Oh I don’t doubt it. But we are at barebones. Playing Reggie out of necessity and allowing players to rest is better than losing Destiny for 2 months and having to rely on Reggie anyway.
 
Yesterday was the fans fault now. It's the fans who made Ange line up like that and made the players forget how to pass a ball. It's the fans you see, if it wasn't for the fans Ange would have played his way and we'd have seen a beautiful display.

Fucking fans. Paying their money and taking hours out of their day to travel to the stadium. It's their fault.

Yeah, we were a bit unlucky yesterday. Their first goal was an inch-perfect worldie, we missed a pen and Kulu really should have chipped the keeper when put through by Solanke. I don't think there is a lot of criticism to be levied at players for the Wolves goals other than maybe getting tighter to Hwang on that free kick.

Still, it's just another game where we failed to be significantly better than the opposition at home and couldn't put the game to bed. I'm not sure if anyone has posted the league table for this calendar year but I have a feeling it's pretty abysmal.

Edit: I checked and we're 9th for the calendar year.

Fanbase is the worst I've seen for a while. Perfect storm of things

- Expectations vs reality: being involved in title races and cup finals within memory for vast majority
- Not winning anything for 16+ years
- In a permanent 'rebuild'
- Time and expense of following Spurs, one of the priciest clubs to support
- Ange is a frustrating figure - "it's who we are", "I don't want to be falsely rewarded for subs", and so on

Adds up to tempers fraying and the lack of patience.

The irony being that the one with the most patience isn’t usually renowned for it. The fuck is Levy thinking or playing at.
 
Just looking at the 2024 calendar year and we have 16 PL losses.

Only Brentford (17) and Wolves (21) have more this year. Obviously the relegated / promoted teams don't get a full PL year so ruling them out of the list in terms of like-for-like.

Utterly unacceptable.
 
Can you believe Ange is now saying “I just feel that at some point we'll get a relatively healthy squad and when we do that we'll be able to perform at a high level consistently”

Hahaha. He's shameless. We have never once been at a high level consistently with him, and he is waffling to the fans and journalists saying just bear with me, once we get Romero VDV and Vic back, we will win games consistently.

Absolute bollocks. I can't seriously believe anyone is still buying the shit this guy is serving. He's a bullshit merchant. He just blags it constantly every week. Absolute fraud.

Of the 15 odd league games we’ve lost in 2024 around 8/9 of them featured Vic, Micky and Romero. It’s not like they are the magic ticket.
