Ange getting re-appointed is the biggest if ever, so I’ll definitely be countering it with some ifs some of you want to pretend winning some EL games is evidence he could translate it to PL games.

Amazingly a feat he didn’t manage when we were fighting for top 4 at the end of his first season and couldn’t buy a win with one game a week and a fully fit team.

I have no problem but is it not a bit dated and childish now?
I mean, I think I first heard it with Outkast's first album and Big Boi but that was back in 1994 and I'm not 19 anymore, so I stopped using it many years ago.

Like I say, maybe it's just me but it's a bit "old folk trying to keep up with the kids and missing wildly", no?

I've always thought that unnecessary aggression, abuse and volatility were a mask for a lack of intelligence and critical thinking.
That the ability to hold an adult discussion and the ability to reasonably disagree, discuss and understand were fundamental to human growth.

I think you're proving me right.

I was going to type out a proper response to this but fuck it.

Comparisons between what Pochettino did for Spurs and the legacy he built here and Ange are just straight up intellectually dishonest and based on childlike “well one won something and the other didn’t” bullshit.

If you think that what I posted was in any way a comparison of them both as managers, then you're barking up the wrong tree mate.

Newcastle A
Chelsea A
Liverpool A
Woolwich H
Man City H (a game most fans wanted us to lose)

Anybody surprised we lost the 3 away games doesn’t watch Spurs that much.
City was just weird. Stadium held its breath when son broke free.

Out last 8 that season Won 3. Lost those 5.
And I’d take those 3 wins right now.

I've said almost word for word the same thing to him, as I'm sure many others have said. If his (hilariously bad) opinions aren't agreed with, he spits the dummy out and has a big tantrum. The only reason I haven't hidden him is because I so enjoy enjoy watching him make such a spectacle of himself, it's a joy to watch.
 
Him returning is not going to happen.

But those complaining about the prospects of it happening need to ask themselves.. 10 games to go.... your team is your team.... who will get the most out of this guys QUICKLY.

It's the guy the players respect and will want in the dressing room.

Long term completely different story

This is one of the most laughable posts ever...

Citing a lack intelligence and critical thinking, just because I am calling it for what it is 🤣

Hilarious, you got page after page of absolute melts who are wilfully ignoring what actually went on under the 2 years of Ange, thinking that if he came back, he would be like some kind of fecking Mesiah and will save us... Completely ignoring the fact he got completely found out by every manager in the fecking league, and like the previous 2 managers, Frank and Igor, is too fucking stubborn in his approach. And this is just the tip of the ice berg with him.

The only people with a lack of intelligence and critical thinking around are the brain dead fan boi's blinded by the EL win that he lucked out on, pinning for something that was never actually there.

If you want to keep on defending idiots, go ahead, no skin off my back, just remember, I am still gonna call a brain rotted fool, a brain rotted fool.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's just to funny.

It's the guy the players respect blah blah blah...

So what if they fucking respect him, it's not going to stop them from being shit.

If it was that easy, why did they lose 22 games last season? Playing some of the most broken, frustrating, and annoying football I have ever seen.

The insane desperation of some people thinking that Ange will save us, is just on another planet... It's a 100% guarantee relegation if Ange comes back...

How the fuck is a manager, who has been found out by every other manager in the league, with the tactical awareness of a shit in a bucket going to save us? With the same players that lost 22 times last year, and with, if not worse, injury crisis than he had?

It's utterly insane.

The funny thing is... The same people that come out with that bollox, don't apply the same to Ramos and Graham despite both of them winning silverware.

It's pathetic, a forum full of melts, with the intellectual prowess of a ringed doughnut.

Exactly, it's commonly used in computer circles to call out nVidia fan boi's for example, because regardless of what nVidia do, they will defend them to death and claim that nVidia have done no wrong, it's just insane levels of devotion. It's cult like, insanely cult like...

Nothing wrong with the term at all, and very relevant and accurate how I used it.

Jesus, we still talking about Big Ange?
Fkn knuckle draggers just drew with Oil Money
This is not at all where I thought we’d be this time last year
My years-long thoughts of being at a home game while we were in contention for something of note seems to be further out of reach
I don’t think we need to pine for past managers, or continue to shitcan them - we need owners who care about Spurs football, Spurs Fans and the legacy of the club. I’m starting to think that middle eastern owners might actually understand more about legacy and honour than any of the ‘gifted’ people at ENIC

Exactly the point, people really need to park the emotional bias and push it to the side. The team is currently dead and need a shot in the arm and we are trying to discuss the best ways to give them that.

If you don't rate or like Ange then fine but the alternatives I keep hearing are laughable, Sherwood, Redknapp...Imagine there's posters in here trying to argue favourably for a man who hasn't managed for over a decade and in his last stint his record was to set the losing culture for a team who got relegated, absolute mental stuff :D

Dyche doesn't want to come, De Zerbi isn't happening and it's laughable people now want to suddenly suggest a manager who was happy to play and work with Mason Greenwood but yeah being a hypocrite is now in fashion when push comes to shove I guess.

Any other bright ideas lads? Mason? Klinsmann? Robbie Keane? Stick with Tudor? We are absolutely feked and you lot can't see past the end of your precious online egos that maybe a manager who the players actually respect and will run and put the effort in for shouldn't be an option to keep us in the league? You people actually are beyond help :D

Looking at his first season-30 games. 56 points.
Would get you 3rd place in the league right now.

Who wouldn’t take 56 points today??

Maybe as a fanbase we deserve to go down.
Entitled pricks.

That's fine, you keep being you because if nothing else it's entertaining.
Personally, if I disagree with someone I'd much rather discuss the reasons for it and try to understand why they feel the way they do, it might even make me change my opinion.

It's part of the reason I've never ignored people on a football forum because I may disagree with someone on one topic, yet completely agree with them on something else.
I'm even mature enough to have an argument and not hold a grudge, I'll have forgotten it by the next page anyway! 😁
