Comparing Gray to Hoddle LOL.

Let's not start getting ahead of ourselves on Gray. He's shown some glimpses the last few games, but up until then apart from the odd moment, it looked like we had our pants pulled down at 40 million.

Hindsight is always wonderful. I could dig up some right old shit from you, but I have better things to do.
'shown some glimpses the last few games' 😂

Gray is player of the season.
 
I genuinely don't have time, but I don't even have to search for your nonsense, it's here in this thread.

I admire your staunch defence of one of Spurs worst ever managers. I am sure he appreciates you LOL

It's really simple dude. Look it took me just a minute to find you thought we'd be flying up the table to at least 7th once you got what you wanted and Postecoglou sacked:

The team showed v Bournemouth that we still have a massive consistency issue and until that is rectified, even 5th will be a long shot.

We next face a West Ham side fresh off the back of a morale boosting victory who will be massively motivated against us.

We need a win there otherwise our start to the season starts to look quite poor. Imperative our new signings hit the ground running.

I think we should temper expectations this season. There’s a lot of work to do, however our team is strong enough quality wise so it would be an underachievement if Frank can’t get this squad into the top 7 IMO.

How about relegated Champ? Have that one on your "any half decent manager will have us flying up the table" Bingo Card? :D

Of course not. Because you're just another Deranger moth who can't admit he was wrong. Which is fine - just know that if you do it in this thread, you will be exposed. :thumbup:
 
Ange lost 22 games in a season, didn’t win a single game while he was here against Woolwich or Chelsea, but won a tournament Pochettino mostly played a B team in because we were aiming for the top honours.

Pochettino gave us years of dominance over Woolwich and joyful football, the first win at the bridge in forever, that night in Ajax and the biggest final by far in club football as well as an 86 point league season. We were mixing it with the elite.

It’s a dumb comparison and it makes you look stupid. Pochettino has a far bigger legacy at the club which is why many, many more fans beg for him back than the about 5 on here who want Ange.

Literally equivalent to acting like the kid who wins something for the B team is better than the kid who nearly wins with the A team. Brainlet.

Ill read this when I can be bothered

Until then though :angecup:
 
I quite like Gray but you could literally still win our player of the season if you had a good run to finish the season, that’s how limited the competition for that accolade is.

The point is that Derangers would have cunted Hoddle off and sacked Burkinshaw long before he brought us back up and matched Postecoglou's achievement by finishing Top 5 AND winning a European Trophy.😍

I along with many others underestimated two things, how poor Frank was, but also, the damage Ange's pathetic tactics had done to the squad. He started the losing and we haven't been able to stop it. Was a Europa League really worth relegation....nope.

I still maintain under a decent manager this squad can be top 7, absolutely. Fucking hell, Brentford are up there.

The only exposing you are doing is on your cluelessness.
 
'shown some glimpses the last few games' 😂

Gray is player of the season.

Gray has been non existent for large parts of the season, just like everyone else. He's player of the season amongst a sea of shit is hardly noteworthy if it wasn't for his young age.

That he's shown a bit more than more senior players is commendable, but we are scraping the barrel. Let's get real here, Gray has done very little, as usual Spurs fans are going mad overboard about a young player.

Let's see how he kicks on before we get carried away.

There's no cope like Deranger cope. :roflmao:

Postecoglou got this squad to 5th. Then we were 6th with a GD of +14 when the injury crisis ruined our league season. Even despite the injuries we got to a League Cup semi-final. And when our key defenders came back they played together only in Europe where we went 5 wins, 1 Draw no losses and WON this beautiful Cup:

:angecup:

But sure... it was the big bad PostyCoglyou who is to blame for YOU BEING CATASTROPHICALLY WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING.

I've never seen so many people humiliate themselves like the Derangers in this thread in the last few months.

I’m sure there are some fans who don’t rate Ange who like gray buddy.

Under Phoney it's binary. If you don't rate Ange apparently you are clueless.

See unlike him, we can change our opinion and be objective. Ange started well first 10 games, turned into a fraud. Optimistic about Frank, went early and called him out for being shit.

it's not hard.

Started well first 10 games, turned into a fraud. Lost to Ipswich and Leicester at home amonst others, lost 22 league games, the worst we've ever seen.

These are all facts, Statistically one of our worst managers of all time. I bet that eats you up.

I can assure you my friend I am loving every single second of this right now.

Distraction from the utter catastrophe of this season that people like you demanded. :thumbup:
 
All players and managers get cunted off at some stage. Salah is getting cunted off by Liverpool fans now. Slot has to be sacked right now and won them the league last season, his first season.

That isn't the gotcha you think it is

You were the clown getting all high and mighty about comparing Postecoglou with Burkinshaw.

I just exposed your vacuous hypocrisy about it. 🤷‍♂️
 
If you can't see why putting Postecoglu in the same setence as Burnkinshaw and Bill Nic is beyond fucked, you aren't a Spurs fan.

I'm off now, Happy Easter.

We've already established that you would have cunted Burkinshaw and Hoddle off when we went down in 77.

But here's a factual sentence containing Postecoglou, Bill Nich and Burkinshaw. Are you ready?

Name the three Tottenham Managers to have won a European Trophy with Spurs?

Now if you can't celebrate the most recent of those trophies I'd suggest you aren't a Spurs fan. At least I fucking hope not the way you carry on about our players sometimes.

In the meantime I suggest you pull up your sleeves, get on down to the ground and support the fucking team in this relegation fight that your fucking idiocy has helped bring about. I'll be in the South Stand like I am every game day. Being a Spurs fan.

Happy Easter.
 
Couldn’t win a single game at Forest btw in a league run that included Burnley. In a squad which has put 6 goals past us unanswered btw.

Just nothing but excuses for a manager who has made failing in England a habit. Loses matches for fun.

He gave Forest the tools to score-which is what the managers job actually is-like over 60 times, and they scored once. Short of lacing on the boots, what else did you expect him to do?
 
It’s a pretty good point as Ange was handed that squad and managed to be total shit with it. You can say it was the players all you want, Ange showed with better ones he still lacks the ability to win league matches.

It’s relevant because this is the Ange thread. Ange did that. You want to big him up and blame the squad at spurs, well we have evidence of him failing at a different squad straight afterwards. Pretty fucking relevant in fact.

I suppose when he ends up at AEK Athens and does well out in the sticks you won’t be bringing that up.

Having watched his teams in the past ranging his Brisbane, Yokohama to Celtic it was clear we lacked the players with the ability to play the way his teams usually plays.

In comparison we never really saw Ange-ball in full flight.

I would never have thought it but our group of players would be the close to the worst with the ability on the ball in the league.

This is the complete opposite what was required.

Missing is a keeper that is good with his feet to play out from the back, ball-playing centre halves, full backs who can defend but can also overlap and can cross and cut back, fast wingers that can beat their man on the outside and score. a midfield enforcer, a number 10 that can unlock a defense, a clinic striker, fast one touch play.

I can think only of Maddison, Udogie (when fit), maybe Porro, Bissouma, that might tick those boxes. Romero did my head in with finger pointing dawdling on the ball.

De Zerbi has a similar philosophy as Postecoglou. It will be very interesting how he goes about it and which players he will keep.
