I'm curious what it would take for spurs fans to finally change their mind and see him for the pub manager he really is.

Would you give him the whole of next season and back him even if we're in and around the bottom 3 the whole time?
Would you keep blaming the players even though they have shown they can perform elsewhere?
At what point do you connect the dots and realise we've gone from a decent looking squad at the start of the season, to a bunch of players who look like they've had the talent sucked out of them.
When will you realise that coaches get backed when their teams show improvement during a season, not a severe decline.

I’m actually 100% sure, but thanks.

I wasn’t fat then.

But next time you want to make a fat joke, dm me your address and we’ll have a face to face ‘conversation’ about it.

You won’t like the outcome though.

You ever message me again and it’ll be the biggest mistake of your sad, pathetic, lonely existence.

Hope a criminal smacks you upside your head.

Blocked.

Problem is that there hasn't been many of those positive things happening to the football team at this club for a loooong time.

I'm intentionally deluded about the chances we have of positive things happening, it's up to the club to actually show a lot of these fans that they can achieve positive things.

There has, people just ignore them because the end goal in a lot of people's mind is a big shiny thing that normally eludes us at the end of the season.

Seems like there's a growing section of our fans who are a loud minority to be angry at the club for everything and act like complete Karen's towards the club and treat every facet of Tottenham with complete cynicism.

I think these fans actively carry around the Spursy mantra with them all the time, it's like their proud to wear the Spursy medallion round their neck as some sort of fashion statement so much their attitude manifests itself around the club, some of our fan's don't have any belief in our club and have weak mindsets they'd rather take the piss out or act permanently depressed towards the state of Tottenham, it's incredible.
 
Do we need to bring this man in for questioning?

I trily, truly wish I could give a flying fuck what a pathetic cunt like you thinks, but I'm all out of fucks for the foreseeable future. Maybe call back when you've got all your windows clicked clean.

Well true.

But also I can do something about my weight, and I am doing.

Unfortunately for Deuterz Deuterz , he’s stuck with his shit personality for the rest of his miserable lonely little life.

Sucks.

Don't make dumb little comments about jobs and you won't get dumb little comments about your weight.

As usual you can dish things out Goat, but you can't take it back without going all silly and pretending you could beat somebody up.

Grow up.

I's say its verging on shit if your sacrificing any sort of defensive shape/stability. If your whole spiel is that you're an attacking coach and you don't particularly care about defending set pieces then i'd definitely expect us to be higher than 7th for goals scored.

uh huh...and i'd expect us to have a lot more goals if richarlison, son, Maddison, Perisic, Solomon didnt collective miss significant chunks of the season.:ledley:

and did Ange say he doesn't care bout defending set pieces or did he actually say he had more pressing concerns about how the team collectively plays first?
 
Richard Arlison said:
Exactly.

People are reacting to a rough patch that has us in ... checks notes ...5th. After finishing 8th.

What are they afraid of? Not finishing 4th again and risking the doom of finishing 8th?

The last manager to get us close to being successful was Poch and he was a...checks notes again... system manager.

If we really want to break our ceiling, we really need to try something different and stick to it. Even when the easy option would be to piss ourselves and sack another manager in search of that sweet dopamine hit of new manager bounce.

Your posts Richie really do gloss over the collapse in 2H. That's the issue. Not 5th.

Yeah buddy boyo, didn’t Liverpool sell Suarez the season Rodgers got sacked and Klopp took over? They also sold Coutinho during Klopp era.

Since we’re here, tell me which 2015 Liverpool players you’d take over our current players.

GK22Belgium Simon Mignolet
RB2EnglandNathaniel Clyne
Yellow card
90+4'
CB6Croatia Dejan Lovren
Yellow card
30'
CB4Ivory Coast Kolo Touré
downward-facing red arrow
82'
LB18SpainAlberto Moreno
CM7England James Milner (c)
CM23Germany Emre Can
RW20England Adam Lallana
downward-facing red arrow
73'
AM11BrazilRoberto Firmino
downward-facing red arrow
69'
LW10BrazilPhilippe Coutinho
CF15England Daniel Sturridge

Would you take Lovren or Toure over Romero or VDV? Moreno over Udogie? Clyne over Porro? What about the midfield mate, who would you take? Upfront? Coutinho might be good yeah, who else? Firmino? Sturridge?

Thats not that bad a team tbf. If you put it to most neutrals they would probably pick it over ours.

Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge is light years ahead of our front three. A young milner, Can and llanana prolly betters our midfield atm too.
