What this whole sorry Ange tenure has shown is that a large section of Spurs fans are actually idiots.

It's quite unreal to see us get ripped apart, Ange tactically outsmarted, every single week even by the likes of RVN, a record breaking abysmal season, 17th and 22 league defeats. Bummed by Ipswich and Leicester and horrible shit sides like that, battered by Everton ffs.

And they weren't plucky defeats, we looked clueless all over the pitch. And yet after all of that, loads want to see more of it next season.

It was torture watching us the whole season, fucking dreadful. I fell out of love with football it's been so bad. Worse than I've ever experienced.

And Bilbao doesn't make up for that I am sorry. As far as I am concered, beating a few shit sides in Europe does not wipe away all that shit we saw, and allow Ange to have a third season.

I just can't understand the thought process at all of the people who want him to stay.

It's demented, I am sorry.

There is fuck all evidence that it will get better.

He's tactically an absolute clown. He has no idea how to set up a team to win consistently in this league. The idea that we go again with him is literally insane. We will be fighting relegation.

Since the first 10 games of last season it's been bottom half form, which then became relegation form, and it's been that bad for a sustained period of time.

Even with our best team playing, we are constantly exposes by his idiotic system and tactics.

Anyway, I have a feeling tomorrow might be the day he's sacked finally.

Larry David Larry David said literally none of this and just made an honest statement about his feelings.

Your insecurity in posting this massive screed in response to a post which never made any of the claims you alluded to is say more about you than him.

You tilting at windmills over an already won war. Very odd. Why can't you just accept that some peop genuinely want the manager to stay for their own reasons?

I never mentioned Larry David, or quoted him, or attributed any of those viewpoints to him, I specifically used the word "people" I do believe, as I've read every single one of those claims on this board over the last 6 months in defence of one criticism of Ange or another. I quoted Deuterz, who stated in his post (though I doubt you bothered to read it) that Ange fans are like a cult. You're the weird guy trying to manufacture some kind of smear campaign I must be carrying out against someone who's posts I didn't read and have had very, very little engagement with on this forum anyway.

Why can't you just accept that some people genuinely want the manager sacked? This is a forum mate. It's an exchange of opinions between (somewhat) like minded people over a common interest. If you don't want to read opposing view points, or be disagreed with, probably best you stick to playing online scrabble.

This might blow your mind but we made multiple finals and semi-finals whilst finishing high in the league, even including a CL final whilst finishing in the top 4.

This blatant lie exposes your fundamental truth, the reason you've rounded on any potential different manager because you desperately want the incumbent to stay.

This doesn't just go for you, there's plenty in here spouting off about Brentford apparently being a club that should win things for example. It all boils down to the same thing, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth.

"You've got me all wrong, I don't think Ange should stay, buuuuuttttt {bullshit reason why he should be given a chance ad nauseum}"

You haven't got the minerals to stand by your desire, instead you hide behind digs at previous managers and digs at potential managers, none of whom to my knowledge have finished 17th or lost 22 games in one league season.

It's not digs at former managers.

It's just a truth that we usually go out of the cups early because we heavily rotate.

Ange went full strenght against City in the 4th round of the caribou Cup and VDV got injured in that game which played a huge part in derailing our league season. Had he rotated then we prob go out of the cup early but avoid such injuries and have a far better league campaign. That's just one example. There's your choice. All previous managers rotate against city, get knocked out but we have a way better league campaign.

I mean someone who says this



And also this

It is not irrational to have wanted him sacked after Liverpool away in the League Cup, and at half-time against Everton away in the Premier League. However, after Frankfurt away, I think it was irrational to still go against the manager. Also, every day since the final day of the season I have heard he was getting sacked at a particular time that never came true - surely that is more demented.

I'm constantly being accused of being in the Ange cult because I respect the man for winning us a trophy and can accept that we had some genuine reasons for our poor league form last year.

I was an advocate for binning off the league to win a cup and that's exactly what Ange did so I can't now blame him for doing that. But I do have major concerns regarding Ange so really don't care which way the club goes just as long as they act fast.

My neutral stance on here makes me an Ange Inner. Funnily enough my neutral stance on twitter makes me an Ange outter!

I read every Deuterz Deuterz post because while I hate him I just fucking love him too - and, more imporatnalty, respect his opinions even when I disagree with them.

His post was directly responding to Larry David Larry David as you were. You can try and weasel out of it but you're seen

I do. Always have. My posting record shows that.

I just don't like twats OR will highlight when someone posts something rubbish like you just did. My posting also reflects that.

Therein lies the rub - for his ideal tactic to work, he needed the fastest centre back in professional football .

Key players will get injured, you must adapt, find a different way to win and Ange did not do that.
