That link wasn’t the first season I was talking out my arse when I said first season. I eyeballed it but we had multiple injury crises under Geoff Scott

Even the side we put out the same day that article was published only had 4 nailed on starters out in Eriksen, Alli, Vert and Dembele. Considering we bought absolutely fucking no one in the Summer window that year it's hardly too shocking or blameworthy of any staff at the club that players who had no adequate backup had been played into the ground that calendar year, also a World cup year, not to mention we were contesting a CL campaign so no dead rubber matches vs the likes of Elfsborg, Qarabag and Ferencvaros in the group stage to rotate in.

Fail to see how that compares with this:

Our lineup vs Villa in Jan, eleven squad members missing. Geoff Scott might have been a weird looking fucker but he was never responsible for us putting out this diabolical of a lineup.

Lol... some of the flouncing about in these last 15 pages has been truly wondrous to read. Grown men stamping their feet and threatening to leave the club because the bag bad Aussie is so owwible... :roflmao:

Almost enough to make me want Levy to change his mind and give Ange a big new contract just to see the melts. :D

Almost...

You've been the biggest melt in the thread these past 48 hours 😆

They are already doing it, going at other coaches because they haven't won a trophy,avoiding all context to it while hailing Postecoglou as the greatest gift despite him having one of the worst league seasons in nearly a hundred years .

You can’t with a straight face accuse others of avoiding all context in one breath, and then in the next immediately avoid all context yourself by calling last season one of the worst seasons in nearly 100 years.

Context: despite finishing 17th and losing 22 games, Spurs won a major European trophy and qualified for the Champions League. Was last season worse than the season before Postecoglou arrived, finishing 8th whilst winning nothing and failing to qualify for Europe?

Trophy + Europe vs No trophy and no Europe. You know, context?

Why do people think our league form will change under Ange going into his third season?

The worrying trend is we've been getting worse in the league under Ange with every passing week.

How the hell is he going to balance CL and PL?
Something he's clearly demonstrated he can't cope with, dealing with multiple competitions.

When we're mid table (or worse) and out of the all cups maybe the penny will drop.

He's not going to. He's going to forget about them and go all in on the Carabao Cup.

I said "league seasons" for a reason.
 
My thoughts...

- Deal agreed with Frank
- Waiting for him and Ange to both get back from holiday
- Brentford speaking with replacements
- Romano will tweet something out by the weekend
- Announcements made by both Spurs and Brentford Monday / Tuesday next week.

Shame they didn’t post the full video that was more balanced.

The quote Goldstein repeats at the start of this video is absolutely bang on!

Absolutely. I thought and still think Amge should go.

But, and here is the rub. I am not and haven't been someone banging on about trophies being the only thing that matters for years on years and taking every opportunity to shit on the club for not prioritising silverware.

Others have. And they are the ones still slagging off the club and manager every opportunity they get.

This isn't about Ange. Its about people being fans of their own opinions and slagging off the club, the players. The owners every single chance they get no matter how hyperbolic or contradictory they are being.

Another example... the amount of people that have been simultaneously shitting on the manager for being terrible at managing yet somehow also shitting on players for being shit.... at least give concession in one direction

Finally a somewhat sensible and rational post in this thread. Reckon you're either bang on or at least not far off.
