Davies and Moore are one game back, but had been unavailable for weeks.I have never seen an injury list at Spurs like this in all my time, that I can remember. And this is a fucking meh team/squad to start with.
As I’ve said before, I’m ambivalent about Ange being sacked or not, don’t mind if he’s given to the end of the season, but if there’s someone good who’ll come in, don’t mind that either, but I really don’t know what people expect from a) this squad b) what’s left of this squad.
No matter who comes in.
If he ends up winning a trophy how likely is it they get rid of him even if we do finish bottom half at the end of the season?
so true!
the postecoglou experience has actually been a huge eye opener. ive got spurs mates that until recently wanted this idiot in! ive got zero respect for any of their opinions on football going forward. ill be worried if they actually share the same opinion as me going forward.
Precisely. Of course injuries have played a significant part but with or without them, we still see the same issues, no consistency and a team approach lacking any real cohesion.
After Wednesday, he said the performance was unacceptable and that he would put it right. He got tetchy with the BBC reporter yesterday so they probably curtailed their questioning, but it was a shame no one asked him if he thought yesterday’s performance was unacceptable. He just gave some waffle about the structure not working then trotted his usual speech about responsibility lying with him and him taking the blame etc. Meanwhile, his team will set up against Leicester with a huge open space of visible green in the middle of the park while he stands there at the sidelines with his hands in his pockets.
I’m naturally assuming he won’t have gone by then.
I’ve thought the same re: full backs playing deeper
Good thread that
Bravo, Sir.
Also the small matter that finishing 5th last year was a bit of a fluke. Proper flattered us.
So what if we win a trophy? You can still get rid of him. Ten Haag won 2 and was still clueless. Ramos won our last trophy…
If Ange wins a trophy, lovely. You say thanks very much for that now let’s move on.
Lewis will sell either when the Super League is active or when the coffin is nailed shut on the Super League (my guess is the latter never occurs as the former is inevitable).
The Super League is the next great explosion in (some) football clubs' values. Currently, despite being the world's most popular game, there are only 6 clubs more valuable than the least valuable NFL team (Bayern, Madrid, Barca, Liverpool, United, City). The football clubs continue to fall further behind, and are now being overtaken by the NBA with 3 NBA teams more valuable than the richest football club, Madrid. There are 8 nFL teams more valuable than Madrid, and that number increases every year.
The structure of football inhibits the growth of clubs' values, which is why the monied interests behind the game want a change. A fixed structure Super League would catapult those clubs'values into the stratosphere, similar to the way the PL international TV and commercialization deals ballooned values (the first big wave ENIC benefitted from).
As members of an operational Super League, THFC would likely be worth £6-10B. That's double or more than the £3B it's currently worth.
With that sort of bubble on the horizon, there's no chance ENIC sell.

Let's have it right...say we win the EL and/or Carabao Cup...and that's a big fucking if already.
Well Ange would still be a fucking joke of a manager/coach and still should be nowhere near the Spurs job. I say that now and I'd say it then.
You win one/two trophies and you're still utter shite at your job in most people's eyes. Says it all about that dumpling.
Avram Grant and Bobby Di Matteo once won big things with the Chavs iirc...didn't make them elite managers and they rightly got the sack soon after.
It sounds the definition of Spurs it sounds fucking glorious
Imagine Super Jan winning a cup and running onto the pitch in his tailored suit and ripping it in true celebration.
Oh wait, winning a cup. My bad, forgot it’s Spurs.
If you can't see how Ange is responsible for the zillion hamstring injuries we've had to ensure the past 2 seasons, well I don't know what to say pal.
Oh I get it, probably the refs' fault.
Not sure the club will see it that way especially if there is an uptick in form in the league when everyone gets back and if there are new signings this window.
I thought everton would be the last straw but it seems not. Maybe leicester at home if we dont win.
The only 2nd's Ange is interested in are at the club canteen.it would appear grumpy pricks finish 15th
There’d have to be a significant improvement in league form, as a cup alone won’t save Ange when European football is expected every year.
Then we drag him into another season, a few injuries and it goes pear shaped and another year wasted. I.e what Utd did with ETH.
Actually, that’s probably quite likely.
Maybe his "i always win things in my 2nd season" are stopping them from firing him. He will get the pool 2nd leg imo. Depending on how that goes, we will see
I'm telling you this woke me up fully. And I'm serious when I tell you the reactions to our football now have changed the way I use this site. Some contributors are not on ignore but I do not read what they have to say. The tactical stupidity and inability to analyse what they are seeing is so profound that I don't read their posts. There not even the ones that obviously do not support the club and want attention. It's worse they do not understand and it's very clear. Despite the love of informatics, buzz words and tactical speak.

Mate that's magical thinking what happened at Wallawonga Rovers has zero relationship to the EPL. If they are drinking that kool aid we are stuffed.
