Football was rubbish and dull, which was ok when we were winning but meant fans turned quickly when we stopped.
Think we got hammered at home by United / Liverpool or something, but his record is weirdly good.
Remember it well, football was awful (as you said bale was the reason for results)so as soon as results didn't follow crowd turned on him immediately. Meant his PPG was high compared to others who were given more time
Have Spurs ever made you jump for joy? Like ever?
I picture you more like this when we win...
WowI just want you to know this and then I won't be exchanging another word with you. I prefer to chat to spurs fans, see.
Whomever EVENTUALLY replaces Ange, I hope that it's someone that upsets you so much, you never post on here again.
Alternatively, if it's someone who you actually want, I am going to spend every waking moment on here slagging him off and being utterly obnoxious and vile, like you have been, until you eventually get so irritated you...DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT.
We're not finishing ahead of the top 3 and Villa strike me as having a man at the helm who will stabilise the ship well enough over the season to keep them up for 4th. Then again, ya just never know, but I wouldn't put my house on it!
So yes, various league positions are possible if we achieve sufficient points to finish in those positions. We'll know at the end of the season.
OK mate, thanks for that tidbit!
The secret to never being wrong is to never predict anythingOK mate, thanks for that tidbit!
Wow
I am seeing a glimmer of hope that he'll build enough momentum in the team to get us over the line in a cup sooner or later. There's definitely some team spirit and attacking power there. I'm enjoying most of the games again after some dire years.
Personally, I feel like the true underlying reason for our underperformance has been Levy's obsession with recouping transfer costs and a refusal to accept losses on transfers. I don't think transfer fees or wages have much to do with it, it's that players who fail to perform to expectations are typically allowed to stick around until their contracts expire. It has been my opinion for a long time now that in the Premier League roughly 40% of players are always going to fail to make the grade, while about 30% meet expectations and the remaining 30% exceed expectations. That's going to be generally true whether we're paying 10m to lure a promising u18 prospect, or 75m on a "marquee signing" that is intended to be the centerpiece that we build a team around.
