You mean the season BEFORE we lost four of our first choice Back 5 for three months?
Because before that we were doing just as well as - if not better - than Villa.
Derangers gonna Derange because lies and distortions is all they have.
Imagine being a Deranger in May 2026.
Like... what the fuck are they even thinking? "Yeah this relegation battle was everything I said would happen when we sacked Postecoglou"...
And then our lord and saviour Roberto De Zerbi comes in and in his very first presser dumps the biggest pile of mud ever assembled in history on these poor deluded saps:

And then follows through on his promise and we start actually looking like a team that can football again.
It is beyond staggering how Derangers still keep coming here and expecting not to be humiliated. Just accept you were wrong. Acknowledge that your wishes and folly almost got us relegated. And beg forgiveness. It's really not that hard. You will feel better I promise.

De Zerbi's on about Postecoglou's first season, he specifically said so, and most likely the first 3rd. We all want the team to be attacking and winning, so yes of course.

Of fucking course we want to play like under Ange again, how we played the first ten games. They were incredible.
But no matter what player was available we never ever played like that again under Ange. It did not matter who the opponent was, the football was tragically poor and struggled even against Tamworth.
I am sure RDZ is not looking for that kind of performance.
So we put most of the blame on our CB back ups? Like Danso who did nothing wrong? Lazy excuse/stat, as we were shit in every third on the pitch, no matter if CBs involved or not, you should have zsed your eyes, not stats.
? Huh, blame...what are you talking about?
I've just shown you very basic data that says when our 2 starting CB's played under Ange we won more matches than we didn't, there is literally nothing else to it.
Take out whatever you want from it, i don't make the rules.
It's funny because we won't lose as many games this season and we've been undoubtedly worse than last season.
So do you blame Ange for that?
I think the blame should go on the upstairs ignoramuses.
No spending to have 2 or 3 competent, experienced players vying for every position.
We were going alright until we hit the injury crisis.
11+ first team players injured.
Playing a teenager out of postion as CB.
Playing a teenager as the main midfielder.
Playing a teenager on the wing.
Despite all that, Ange still MANAGED to win a Cup for the first time in very many years.
I mean we only need 1 more point to match last seasons total points tally.
Obviously the board has made a lot of bad decisions.
but yes i do blame Ange for a lot of them defeats.
Allegedly he threw games....this is terrible management.
I have no doubt in my mind that we would have got to the Europa league final again this season and probably be favourites to win it, if we were in it, based on our performance in champions league.
Which is why you don't compare points tallies across different seasons, it's kinda meaningless
No but not getting 50 points in any season is diabolical.
So is losing 22 league games
So is not winning 15 league games.
Every season these are basic outliers that mean your scrapping at the bottom.
And is diabolical for Spurs to having any of these numbers no matter what season it is.
Any manager with any of these numbers at our club has done a terrible job.
I feel these are all arbitrary numbers based on your own narrative
He ended up getting sacked for it anyway, but looking at how this season has unfolded it’s clear the focus should’ve been on the club rather than just the manager and that’s become even more obvious now.
Its not a narrative its based on Premier league history.....just because I said it, it doesn't make it less relevant.
Regardless of the club he still underperformed
"Allegedly"
A side of copium is served with that main course of denial.
You don't go from "You're not a real fan if you don't want us to win every game" to "Ah yeah, I meant to lose those on purpose"
It's about as relevant as comparing points tallies and wins/losses across different seasons
You will be in a relegation battle every season with
20 losses
10 wins
Its not hard to comprehend
Not really understanding what I need to comprehend here, I don't even know what your fucking argument is.
