"be like Woolwich, you can do this, we need to do what they do"I would have loved to know what he was actually saying to the players when he got out his little subbutteo tactics board out and gave them a talking to before he subbed them on?
What the hell was he saying?
Pass sideways and if you can't see a spurs player pass backwards.....
Yeah it's a fair point. I was actually really surprised at how little came out in the press about Ange after the fact. I suspect the way the players all sent messages of support, encouragement when he was sacked was a sign - they genuinely respected him and didn't want to shit on him in the media even if they did have doubts at times. I haven't checked but have there been any messages of support at all from players towards Frank? I doubt there will be many, if any...Definitely protecting him, just imagine that these came out in November, no way he would have survived until Feb.
It was richie..........I genuinely think he was stitched up, and I reckon he was handed it from one of our lot.

Time to move this to general football and forget it ever happened
and then probably beat usDo ok at palace, his small man routine will work there, with the fans, and the players
Get to work with Frank again, ole ole .........Do ok at palace, his small man routine will work there, with the fans, and the players

Quite a bit, there was talk of us wanting him whilst he was at PSG and him wanting out that came to nothing.It seems like when Pochettino has gaps in his employment we're not looking for a manager, and when we're looking for a manager he's already employed.

Oh without question. Johnson with the hatty
Just never fit here almost from day one, despite the early win against a very beatable Man City side. He will get a decent job elsewhere, I expect him to end up in Germany at Dortmund or Leverkusen, that sort of club.

But he was free and available the summer we went for Ange...

...and he gets reunited with Johnson again....Do ok at palace, his small man routine will work there, with the fans, and the players
OléOlé!!

This whole "entitled Spurs fans" narrative is absurd.. There isn't a single team in this league, all the way down to Wolves, where the manager would/should feel safe in their job if they were on a run of 2 wins in 17.. Regardless of any caveat.Fucking hell! Journos proper sticking the knife in on the fans when questioning Keith Andrews about it...
You'd swear he was doing a good job and us fans were being ungrateful sods!
It's sickening.
Another mention of the injuries too...obviously in the same context as it was for Ange?!
Bunch of nobs.
