I saw them getting at least 2 flukey goals and us still coming back to make it 2-3. Having time off and losing momentum is not a good thing. Wait, why am I bothering to reply you are are obviously a scummy little gooner. Fuck off
Ahh yes, flukey goals. Were any of Newcastle's flukey btw when they put 4 past us? Or Liverpool's when they were 4 up? They must have been, such a fan you are you'll defend us getting pasted and call those who highlight it gooners. You're another I'll be interested in seeing when the wheels invevitably fall off.
 
And look at the defenders and midfielders they had. Think someone has posted that already.

How many of the players Ange played would have been completely ignored by Conte?

Romero for a start said he’d have left if Conte stayed. Conte ignored Bissouma and he was key to Ange’s best football.

Udogie would have been sent on loan, VDV would never have been signed. Conte signed Richy for 60m, Ange is yet to be given that kind of trust
 
I just took you off ignore because we are having a debate. What did you not get a reply to?
Very opportune timing.

When it suits you want to talk about what every single premier league champion does, does every premier league champion play the exact same way every game no matter what?
Do they stubbornly not change how to defend a clear weakness like set pieces?
Do they look to pour forward and expose the defence no matter the score?
Do they look to play a suicidal high line with 9 men when drawing at home against their rivals?
Do they sanction paying £50m for and starting players with little technique on the ball like Johnson?

Nice strawman, it's either parking the bus or incredible free flowing football every single week right? Nothing exists in between those 2 of course.

By the way, you seem to have a habit of referring to premier league champions, is that what you're expecting under this manager and if so when?

I don't how to link back to the posts themselves but here you go. You can pop me back on ignore when you're done mate.
 
The extra weeks off and lack of rhythm were part of the challenge and also why we battered them second half and nearly got back in it
Battered them by scoring a goal through a massive fuck up on their side and a penalty

Were ours flukey when we put 4 past Newcastle and Villa? Or when we beat Liverpool at home?
 
People should really have a look at that team too. It was Kane, Son, Romero and bunch of mid fucking players. And I'm being generous.

Sessegnon Emerson Dier Davies Hojbjerg Moura

Like seriously, he got 4th with that rabble 😂

Admittedly he was given Kulu and Bentancur in the January window but those two were considered Juve rejects at the time. Nobody was fighting us for their signatures and both hit their peak form for us under Conte.

Ange then has 250m spent on him last summer and an entirely new squad and people want us to feel sorry for him? For him? Do me a fucking favour lol.

Go take a look at the team Mourinho had 3 years ago then come back. Man's probably looking at Spurs now and absolutely WISHES he had Romero, VDV and Dragusin to choose from at CB, as opposed to Dier, Rodon and Davies ffs.

Ange has never had it so good.

And don't get me started on the shit Poch had to put up with. Zero net spend for 5 years and somehow had us competing for titles.

Ohhhh sooo now Porro and Kulu count towards last summer's spend??

Usually they don't count. Strange how we'll pick and choose ...

How on earth people still make out like Ange did well with what he was given compared to the others just hurts my brain tbh.

I don't dispute the first half of the season Conte was sacked was a bloody hard watch, but there was so much unusual stuff going on. The contract. The friends dying. Him being ill. Not getting the new defenders he properly needed. It was doomed from August but we were still in and around there.

Every premier league champion has been clear principles that are non negotiable and must be stuck to.
Almost none of the premier league champions were built over more than one season and had issues like set piece defending that needed to be fixed in later seasons. You know that Ange never said he won’t fix set pieces, he said that he had bigger fish to fry in his first season.

Johnson does the most important thing for a forward, goals and assists, he will get plenty more of those this season.

Ange is the one who said his goal is to win the prem, I’m taking him on his word.

Conte had the squad he built fit and ready to play most of that season. Ange didn’t. Conte had Kane in his prime, Ange didn’t. Conte signed Richy for 60m, Ange didn’t.

It’s a joke the excuses people make for Conte
 
This is exactly why Ange is such a hero already. For years we were served up Nuno, Mourhino , Conte turgid shit. In the space of a couple of games, and with largely the same players, minus H Kane, we were delivering the best spurs football since we beat Real Madrid at Wembley. When we drew 2-2 away at Woolwich all I saw was Gooners shitting themselves because they knew they were lucky. I feel sad for you fuckers who can’t embrace the new Spurs
Not sure if you are a troll or just not very worldly

Probably both , you're on the right forum

You'll be a god on here with this level of delusion
 
Amazing how many blatant losers on here still pine for a fat bloke who failed to win anything with the most talented Spurs squad in my lifetime and then went to one of our worst rivals and still didn’t win anything despite having a billion quid spent on the squad
 
There really is a blind hatred for Conte because he's ex Chelsea.
We were a proper force under him when we galloped up the league. We looked fucking devastating at times and ripped teams apart.
Woolwich, Everton, Newcastle, City away, Leeds, Norwich. It wasn't just because we had Kane. It was because we exploited space rapidly and effectively.
How anyone was watching that football and wasn't enjoying it is only explainable by bias.

Sure, the following season was a hell of a chore. But there were mitigating factors all season. Death, illness, Spence, etc. It was a total cluster fuck. Yet we still were happily 3rd when he was sacked.
So Conte gets "mitigating factors" in your book, when Postecoglou doesn't?
