The club was never getting relegated, now though, winning the last 3 games has made things easier than it was.
However, nothing changes for me, he is the worst manager in the spurs dugout for many a year.
Organisation and tactical set up aren't great, team will finish mid table and probably worst position in over 20 years.
Let's get through to the summer and then pull the trigger on him.
You're doing very well. Had you down as odds on for a sin bin a few posts ago but odds have blown out 4-1. I like this calmer, more reflective and forensic you.
Now let's just hope no Albanians or Absolute Goat pitches up and you might be able to post during City game
This 100%
What sort of weird 'supporter' makes up a gallery of 'chances' created by the opposition in a game his team won 1-4?
All against two of the worst attacking teams in the entire league.
I don't think a team of this stature should or can rely on getting away with stuff like this on a regular basis, but I might be wrong.
Somebody more desperate to stand on the hill of their making rather than celebrating a joyous third win in a row.

I’d still place the bet mate, toe even goes on that line with me now and it’s instantaneous.
But yeah, nice and calm. Contrary to posts I actually enjoyed the game, it was an entertaining mess. Referee sucked. I enjoy league matches currently, actually feel like free hits.*
My enjoyment of the win won’t stop me from arguing back if someone gets in my E-face and screams ‘SEE? SEE YOU WERE WRONG IM A GENIUS’ because we won a match.
*sorry

Big Ange has us back on track
There is one easy way to tell Spurs have won without watching the game or seeing the score.
ADS.
ADS.
Yeah it's still probably the most likely situation that the damage is already done this season and in that light your prediction didn't take much bravery.
Tbh I don't really see the point in getting into hypotheticals about what will and won't happen this season but In terms of lasting or not, I think the likelihood is that players returning and form improving is the trend we are seeing with these last 3 games and I can definitely see that has a chance of "lasting".
Can we finish top 10 in the PL? Can we win the Europa?
We definitely can. No idea if we will but I definitely feel like positive outcomes are more likely after those 3 results than they were before them.
Not the team “Melbourne Victory”?
Why does everyone go on about the past 3 games - we’ve won 3 of our last 5 - why does getting knocked out of both cups in the space of 3 days no longer count.
9 points in the last 3 league games means very very little - I would have been far happier with 3 points and winning both cup games.
If we go on a bit of a run in the league and finish say 9th - are people seriously going to want Ange to continue? If so, why?

We’ve had 3 wins against sides in 11, 15 and 18. Don’t be a party pooper. If you can’t bask in the glory of that, when will you ever be happy!
Still got that fcuking irritating post-match cough, but looked at ease, which winning provides.
He is the manager of this club and that means I want him to be the best.
It's that fcuking simple.

I'm glad we won well today, but I haven't seen anything to make me think Ange is the guy. I'm still absolutely Ange out, but I hope we can do as well as possible until he is replaced, which will most likely happen in the summer now.
I can understand the pessimism here . If we don't win EL trophy then we will have another baron season . A domestic trophy would have done our squad the world of good , now we have all our hopes left in EL , if we don't win that then it's all been for nothing - injured players has blighted our squad this season , having 11 players on the treatment table is no good for any squad , I just hope we win EL trophy so we get CLFootball for next season .
Because we're talking about our league form.
Why is it that when we were still in 3 cups, they didn't matter as our league form was so poor?
9 points in 3 games means very little?
Dear God!
No one has mentioned that. Why is your focus there? Can't you just enjoy the fact that we've gone on a winning run in the league?
Surprise surprise we get some players back and the results turn, and we're still without our 3 best players.
Get them back and we have a good chance of winning Europa and ending the season well

Amazing, innit?
Some people are probably just happy that we are getting back to winning games in the league - which has been rare, especially since the injury crisis.
That injury crisis is also a big reason why we lost in the semi-final of one cup to Liverpool - where we had an entire team of first 11 squad players missing including all of our 1st choice* back five. Liverpool did that the next week against Plymouth and lost.
*that's our 1st choice back 5 at season's start. I don't think I'm alone when I say I reckon Spence is now ahead of both Porro and Udogie as 1st choice
We were similarly very weakened against Villa away in the FA Cup.Those Cup losses were brutal but there are extenuating circumstances.
Now we have a few players back and are getting some wins. It's okay to be happy about that.
No. But if we get players back (Romero, VDV, Solanke being rather important players missing) go on a good run and win lots of games then it means we have good squad on our hands that holds us in good stead with hope for the future. Again - a good thing, no?
Ange only stays if we win EL or somehow make Europe in the league. Neither look likely at all.
But it's still okay to celebrate winning 3 on the bounce. It's generally what supporters enjoy about watching their team.
This is all true. Can we also admit that some posters (not you) do the whole "Just enjoy your team winning!" whilst very openly provoking people they deem to have been wrong because we have finally got some of our shit together. It's like "oh yeah, unhappy cus we lost BUDDY?" whilst simultaneously going "oh haha you big fucking idiot" as if the person is annoyed at the win rather than the person bizarrely claiming a victory because we won some matches.
To put cards on the table, I didn't really have huge confidence we'd win today. Or against Brentford. I did think we would beat United. So overall we've outdone what I expected, but then my expectations were on the floor. I don't think we were great in any of the 3 games, but we have 9 points so that doesn't really matter. Ange gets credit for ship stabilisation.
I expect we will end up anywhere from 9th-12th and not win the europa league. Does that mean I want that to happen? No, I'd happily take a lot of "see? angeisdasbestcoacheva" to win a europa league title. And it's a fucking great opportunity to, the best teams left in it are fucking Bilbao, Frankfurt and Roma.
That's piss weak and eminently doable which is exciting, but I'm not very excited because of Ange. Maybe I'm completely wrong and he'll surprise me.
