Someone will. It's incredible that only LFC have put us to the sword so far. Villa had so many chances they couldve scored 6.
Galatasary should have been 5-6 up by HT.
Liverpool were 1-5 up and could easily have scored 7 or 8, they backed off and we made it look slightly more "respectable"
Chelsea clowned and let us have 2 goals then scored 4 and could have had 5 or 6 before another fluke made it a loss by 1 goal.
Everton were 3 up for the first time in 83 years and then got caught late when they were high fiving one another.

All of these games make it look like we were there, right in it, when the truth is we were twatted.
And that goes back to last season when Arse were 3 up and we got 2 late goals, Liverpool were 3 up and we then got 2 goals. There's so many games where we make the scoreline look close when the game was nothing of the sort.
 
I have a nasty feeling Chelsea will batter us

They seem a bit shit right now. Still expect a loss there.

And Nuno’s Forest team playing on the counter…….its too much of a football storyline not to happen!

Also not banking on VDV or Romero both being available straight after the international break.
By Easter after the 2 European games they will most probably be fucked again!

Brighton 4-0 to 4-2 another one. The only thing we're good at is putting gloss on a twatting when the opposition eases up.
 
Up until January we had the chance to fire and make an appointment to try and rescue the season.

We're nine or ten games from the end now, top half is pretty much gone. The moment is gone.

There's no point firing Ange now because he's made such a mess there's nothing to rescue.
The only point I see if we can appoint an interim manager that could be our next permanent manager, we will get until the end of the season to evaluate him. Before we sign him up for x more years. I'm thinking Terzic or Xavi. Must admit I have mixed feelings about both. Either is infinitely better than Ange, but I'm not sure any of them is good enough tho.
 
Where do you stand with Ange now mate?

Time to go.

Really wanted it to work. Held out on sacking yet another coach to shift the blame from the owners but we’ve done that now and that performance at Fulham was exactly like the Sunday games after EL at the start of the season when we had everyone fit.

More importantly to me, I don’t see in him that he still believes he can get what he wants from this group of players consistently.

Sure, we probably don’t concede if Romero plays 90mins but the midfield selection was way too obviously not leading to much chance of creating anything and he’s picked a MF like that before with exactly the same results.

I get that he’s likely staying whilst we are in Europa but if we could get Xavi in during the international break, I’d pull the trigger.

How about you?
 

Being honest , I’m struggling to have sympathy for someone getting paid millions & is incapable of his job

I don’t like slagging off players or managers who are at Spurs & I won’t Ange either because I know where the really issue lies at THFC but he is proving time & time again that he is totally out of his depth
Starting to think parting ways would be as beneficial for Ange as it would be for us. Bloke is clearly unhappy, and very much out of his depth.

And we’re unhappy because he’s shite and the season is shite.

Get fucking rid, ffs.
Naively raising his arm for a non existent offside leading up to the Sess goal showed his lack of understanding of basic rules....

Leaving his arm aloft throught the passage of play and beyond just showed his stubborn arrogance and desperation.
 
That Ali Gold article this morning is pathetic. Hyping up some impossible scenario where we can qualify for Europe by finishing 11th. Absolutely ridiculous stuff.

The league and season is done. It's EL or bust. He'll be writing stupid articles now next week about how the "international break is going so well for Spurs" because one or 2 players score for their national teams. I'm a positive fan and love a positive spin but he's taking the piss.

Why not write an article about Ange's team selection yesterday and if he didn't realise we didn't have another game for 18 days when subbing off Romsro at 0-0? No doesn't suit the agenda. Our journalists are as pathetic as everyone else in the club! Loser mentality from the top down
 
Mate, with due respect, once you questioned why many of us wanted to lose to City last season, directly to prevent Woolwich from winning the title, you lost me.

To cite that and to somewhat ignore the guy's abject failure since we beat Villa 4 zip at their place, many moon rotations ago, is bonkers.
Fair enough. Just my opinion that throwing games is not a trait of a successful team, or fanbase.
