You said any half decent manager would us have flying up the table. You were so confident and cocky in August that that you said this:


Note: even then your obsession with Postecoglou frames your reply. It's not about spurs, it's about your weird cult like fixation on the previous manager :rolleyes:

Meanwhile I repeatedly warned you that injuries and a meh squad was the reason for our League form last season and that it weas likely Postecoglou was actually overachieving given the circumstances and that it was unlikely a new manager was going to dramatically improve us, and could, quite possibly make things worse.

We had these conversation ad infinitum last season.

On every possible metric - xG/xGA, Goal Difference, Games won... We have gone backwards. We are setting all sorts of records for bad performance. Are you for fucking real right now?

If we somehow stay up none of that will change. We will still have had the most disastrous season since 1977.

I was right. You were wrong. Own it.


I'm not seeking you out to dig you out. You're coming in here for your obsession fix. 5 months I didn't post in here. You never stopped. We get it. you don't like him. Then don't look in here. It's really that simple.

I think some of us didn't really appreciate just how much damage was done in those two seasons
 
I suppose there's an argument that could be made that Frank may have gone further in the Champions League and ended the season 17th, and had obviously lost Son's Maddison's and Kulusevki's goals, the club sold Johnson which is another stream for goals that is blocked.

I wanted Frank sacked when we lost to West Ham, but if he'd have gotten the whole season and the players like Manchester United got that you mentioned, and minus the injuries then the same argument could be made for Frank that is made for Postecoglou.
Johnson was a stream for goals because of Postecoglou.
The fat cunt turned an admittedly below average player into a top scorer.
What is he doing now in Palace?
 
I didn't post in this thread for 5 months.

You can't stop posting in it. EVER.

Which one of us is in a Cult? Which one of us is OBSESSED. It's clearly you. This is the only thing you seem to care about. And you were wrong. Catastrophically.

You were wrong. I was right. And now we're almost certain to do down.

Own it.

Groan.
Just read the past 24 hours of this thread and you're worse than them cuckold men from the days of Chaucer.
Stop fucking whinging, cuck.

And your pussyhole serial league game loser Ange is not coming back to save you either.
You will see.
I swear if that European Trophy had a hole, you would be piping it right now, weirdo.

Levi fleeced you like a mug for decades whilst enriching himself. Why don't you go and moan outside his mansion and hotel?

Good luck sucka

Good chat. Quality insight. Convincing argument well made.

IDK what he's doing or what he's done but his career doesn't revolve around Postecoglou. Nobody turned him into anything, average players have good seasons and poor seasons, Postecoglou didn't make Solanke score more than the season he had prior at Bournemouth, it's just one of those things, average players have good seasons from time to time, including forwards that occasionally have a good scoring season.

Johnson is capable of scoring a fair few in a good season, ditto Solanke.

Take off your Postecoglou goggles man.
 
Let's see what other quality insights our friend Mr Skeletor Skeletor has made over the journey.

7th June 2025:

Morning all. Feels so alive being a Tottenham fan as everything lines up how it's supposed to be!
Good luck, Mr Frank.

7th Jan 2026:

Frank out for sure but this comment from the BBC comments captures it perfectly for me:

Spurs have one of the worst squads in
the Premier League now. l'm sorry
Spurs fans, but it's undeniable.
Recruitment has been shocking over

the past 2-3 years. £200m spent in
the summer on players who wouldn't
get near the majority of first elevens

in the league. Brand of football is
dull, predictable, directionless, but
that's doubtless because there's no
creativity, nor leaders in the team.


Delete the fucking club

Oh dear. I guess things didn't quite work out the way Mr Skeletor thought they would.

What a surprise. He seemed such a switched on, cogent observer of football. And such a nice chap. Oh well...

Some people change their minds under evidence, not everyone is a fantic like you.
 
So what mate?

Romero is gaslighting.

He gets very well paid and wasn't forced to sign a new contract. Other players liking a post means nothing. What do they think the club should be spending or have they been reading what a few spendthriths on here have been writing?

Romero is captain of the club, a decision that might have seemed logical at the time but one which has backfired.

The bigger problem is that neither Frank or Tudor has been able to get him playing better and more consistently.

Happy when he leaves.
I'm not backing Romero if that's what you think.

I'm just stating something he posted on social media about lies, and I assume when there were rumours of him leaving in the summer, then he signed a new contract with a pay rise and was given the captaincy that he was told the club are going to change things and they haven't. Other players liking his post suggests they agree with him.

You're welcome to disagree but that's what I think, until I have other information to show that's not the case. Unless you have that there's no point responding because you think what you want and I think what I want based on the little information that available.

You need to read better my friend. As I've said repeatedly, I was, to my shame, Ange-Out - despite my stated reservations a new manager was unlikely to improve things unless our squad was improved.

Alas our squad wasn't improved nearly enough and we're on the verge of relegation. So everything I warned about last year has come to pass - but even more catastrophically than I imagined.

So under that evidence I returned here to state the obvious - that sacking Postecoglou was a terrible mistake amongst many terrible mistakes made by our Powers That Be.

Why the fuck you and others are rushing in here to deny what is so fucking obvious to any rational person is quite beyond me. Suffice to say that if Skeletor Skeletor has gone from singing and dancing at Frank's appointment to literally wanting to delete the club within 6 months - I would have thought he'd agree with me.

Alas no 🤷‍♂️
 
I’m not saying this to be controversial; but might brother Phomsey actually be related to Ange , possibly by marriage ?

I think Ange and/or his familiy have several accounts in this website.

Very happily ; Mrs Postecoglu believes very strongly in standing by her man .

For better or worse etc

You're not sending your best lads. Do better.

Speaking of "fanatics" let's have a gander at our friend Allejo10 's brilliant contribution to this forum over the journey, eh?

We ain't winning the Europa, we could't beat fucking Galatasaray mate, we play like shite, we only won against poor trans.

We have more chances of winning Europe with Mason than with this fraud. I still think we won't pass AZ with him on comand.

Doesn't matter if we give 100%, we still ain't gonna win this under such a shite and naive manager.

Narrator: "It was at this point that Ange Postecoglou did, in fact win Tottenham's first European Trophy in 40 years. Allejo10 did not make a single post in the thread dedicated to that match. But he did have some choice insight not long afterwards":

No no no and no, we need a proper manager. This trophy was tottaly out of the blue, we got tô the final playing horrible football in some matches, with a bit of luck and thanks to a very good squad that Ange managed to finish 17th in the Premier. Nothing suggests he deserves another chance, football didn't improve under him since he arrived and we are unwatchable most of the time. Also UCL is a Very different challenge.

Narrator: Allejo10 got his wish and Ange Postecoglou was sacked. Unfortunately the "very good squad" he talked about is now 1 point above the drop zone and hasn't won a single game in 2026.

Oh dear...

Seriously why on earth do you people think anyone should ever listen to anything you have to say ever when you are always so consistently and catastrophically wrong about EVERYTHING.

Why are you even in this thread. It's just so humiliating for you. Just stop. walk away.
 
January 24th and I could see relegation coming and the only fucking person I could think of that might be able to get us out of it was the same bloke who got this players to win a trophy. Once again people didn't listen to me. Once again I've been proved 100% fucking correct.

That's a strawman argument because, anyone could mention any manager that they ''think'' may get us out of it, and as so many other managers weren't hired to find out, then anyone wanting any of them to be the new manager in January can claim they are also 100% correct, as much as you can claim that about yourself wanting Postecoglou.

Just because it was becoming more and more obvious since January we needed a new manager, why would a manager that had us 17th last season with 22 loses, and lasted 10 matches at Nottingham Forest with no wins be the only option?

The problem is this season there isn't a gap between the bottom three and those above, there's Leeds, Forest, West Ham, and ourselves, all trying to avoid the last relegation place, I suspect if the league was like that last season the Europa League would have taken a back seat for our team, meaning that most likely there would be no trophy, Therefore your reason to want Postecoglou back this season in January wouldn't exist.

No you haven't! Do you not understand what 'proven correct' means? You've speculated that Ange would get us out of it and nothing has been proven one way or the other.

Some of us think your prediction is nonsense based on the fact he couldn't win a league game for shit last season, or this season with Nottingham Forest. You obviously think your prediction is correct based on the fact we won the Europa.

One thing that is definitely not the case, is that you've been proven any percentage of correct.

I was actually referring to the fact that on 24th January I was concerned enough about our form to foresee the ultimate calamity - so panicked that I returned to the Postecoglou thread for the first time in 5 months to float the idea that he might be an option to get us out our mess.

Since then we haven't won a single game and are about to sack our second manager in that time. So while I pray and hope De Zerbi or whoever can come in a get the job done, I'm pretty fucking comfortable in my sense of Spurs and football in general to say my instincts on Jan 24th were pretty much spot on.
