I've just never seen any of our games against Brentford and thought "wow, I'd like some of that". I'm sure people could do a social media clip of nice combination plays from them in these matches, like you could for any team/manager, but no aspect of their play has ever really piqued my interest. The set-piece routines might be useful (if that's within his remit) I guess.

In fact that 2-0 win we had at their place this season, after we'd lost every game for what felt like an eternity, where all they did was just wildly hoof it into our box at every opportunity, was the one game that sticks out where I thought "you poor fuckers, if this is the sort of stuff you have to watch every week."

All teams play a bit of footy at times, and can knock the ball about. But his football to me seems pragmatic, fairly physical/athletic, direct, and whilst tactically sound it's a bit basic. Undoubtedly a competent manager who's done an excellent job with Brentford, who probably would offer some stability and raise the floor on the back of what Ange has done.... but I've never seen anything that would scream good style of play for a top club, or lead to some sumptuous football at the least.

It’s the sort of stuff we had to watch so we could win the europa.
It’s who we became mate.

But the stuff Ange has won doesn’t count according to some Japan, Australia & SPL is no REAL trophies even the Europa league we won cos every other team in the competition was rank. :angeup:

That's all absolutely correct. Well done.
You understand the facts now, which is good.
I'm sensing from your tone that you don't like the facts, but at this stage its like arguing about the colour of the sky in the middle of the day when theres no clouds. Facts is facts.

As you're asking that question I have to wonder if you watched Spurs play last season. If you did, how did you feel about what you saw?

Among all the dribbling idiots that were angry at Ange being sacked, one guy phones talksport on Friday and quite eloquently says
"You can only imagine all those angry at him being sacked spend their weekend walking around shopping centres and just see the score at the end of the game" .

I think that absolutely nails it. They CANNON be watching this utterly fucking horrendous football.

I popped my "expressions" cherry yesterday.
"The beatings we took made being in the Jackson 5 look an easy ride"
When we lose by one goal it's a genuine miracle sometimes. When we lose we never lose by bad luck. Teams have us sussed out no matter what our 11 is. And that's a relegation fight.

I'd have been willing to believe that if he showed much in the way of adaptation in league matches over the last two years. He did in the final Europa rounds sure, but in the league he seemed to think any change in style was an affront to his ideals. I dont see why next season would have been much different

Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous that he didn't make some of the same tweaks in the league to get a few more points on the board.

Mate yesterday you made up stories about Brentford having champions league players on loan to win the championship. You can be quiet on the making shit up nonsense

He's trolling. Nobody is actually as dense as he is.
Nobody needs to have it explained a thousand different ways that Frank is performing miracles with one of the lowest spend and lowest wage budgets in the league.
If he can't understand that then he's as dim as Harry7 and not worth speaking to.

Yeah i cant imagine its too often you lose 22 games, finish 17th and actually think you were pretty lucky. I struggle to think of 1 or 2 games where we deserved more. Maybe Leicester opening day and a point at Newcastle. On the other hand we escaped an absolute pasting on several occasions. Over a sustained period of time its the worst football i've ever seen us play.

No trolling at all and you've given zero evidence on why Frank should be Spurs manager other than hes done well with limited resources. I can list 20 managers who are doing the same. If that's what you consider acceptable for our club then I would consider you to be the dim one. But you do you... Im not telling you how to fan... I'm providing my pov that Frank wouldn't even make a shortlist. Just put me on ignore... you wont be missed...

Look i understand why they are a bit bitter about losing the manager that has pretty much kept them in the premier league competing, but they are very angry and bitter towards our club Brentford fans. Never knew really they hated us, but once again that’s another set of supporters with a weird obsession about us. A lot of them are talking of Brentford finishing above us etc, Spurs fans not deserving it etc. Are they forgetting who they are? Spurs are a much bigger club with CL football, a European cup to our name and a much higher ceiling. Brentford have hit their ceiling. There are a few level headed fans on there, but a lot of bitter hatred from them

Highly Probable - Thomas Frank (Tottenham)

Thomas has taken us to heights we could only dream about playing some wonderful football despite a somewhat inauspicious start !! However he is ambitious and has great belief in his own abilities as such the challenge to get Spurs back to where, historically, they expect has to be extremely...
