I read Spurs supporters on here and elsewhere suggesting our fixtures have been kind.
Villa, West Ham and Woolwich at home are never easy games. Newcastle, Man Utd and City away are also very difficult fixtures.
The win yesterday was a statement win.
City have lost 5 games in a row but the two other league games they have lost were away from home, by the odd goal.
What Spurs did to them yesterday is unprecedented. We smashed them 0-4 at home.
Spurs players and supporters must surely now believe that we can beat anybody, home or away, regardless of whether we go a goal or two down or not.
If the Spurs supporters actually unite behind Ange now, and make WHL the fortress it was under Poch, I truly believe ANYTHING is possible this season.
When Poch initially led Spurs we were one of a few Prem teams playing the high press tactics. Now the majority of teams attempt to play this way in most of their games.
Ange is doing something different and when it works we demolish teams.
We need to collectively believe in what is now CLEARLY happening and get fully behind Ange, his tactics and all the players when they are on the pitch.
If we fail to do this, at all home games going forward, even when things are not going well, it will say more about us than it says about Ange.
Here is a man who has had the balls to face down the media, treat them with the contempt they deserve, insist on doing it his way and prevail despite all the snide punditry and sniping arrogance regarding his CV.
I fucking love him now.
He's a man worth respecting.
No compromise; stick to the plan.
Forget about Levy for now.
It isn't worth conflating the problems we have with ENIC with what Ange is actually doing.
When Ange or the team need our support going forward we should offer it without needing to be asked.
Or he's suffering a loss of form, like every other players does in their career, but for you that equates to him thinking he's bigger than Spurs?
FML!
Romero has been consistent @ Spurs.
Consistent problems with self discipline.
Consistently displaying an arrogant preference for playing for Argentina.
Consistently making individual errors that lead to goals.
Romero needs to show he is a Spurs man.
Then I will respect him.
Yeah tend to agree, on this I am fully in the Ange camp, I want him to succeed and what makes it harder is bullshit player mutinees. You are well paid in a PL team, get your nut down and work hard for us. Maybe after a couple of seasons of consistently excellent performances you can get a move to an elite club IF you show you deserve it.
Tik Tok is a low blow mate, stick to the gooner digs.....numbskull!!.....quoting Shakespeare at me, where you've probably learned the line off Tik Tok......you wouldn't even know what play that was from.
Deluded Aussie groupies trying to put this joker and Pep in the same bracket, LOL.
Consistent problems with discipline? In what way? To date he has 1 Yellow card this season. I believe it is his first or second since he was sent off against Chelsea last season.
Eh? I think you have him mixed up with Lo Celso. Romero has been virtually every present for us this season. The only place this "arrogance" you refer to seems to be in your own head.
No argument there, he's been lacking so far this season. You seem to feel it's arrogance, I'd say it is a form issue.
He's not shown anything more or less than any other player in the squad. Every one of them has had a drop in form over periods of time. Were you calling them out to demonstrate they were "Spurs men" when they did?
Can you explain to me how a player demonstrates he is a "Spurs man?"
why doesn't everton or west ham spring to mind
I know Daniel will be worried if Romero loses any value but your defence of him is embarrassing.
Romero is currently playing like a player who wants to leave and has been prevented from doing so.
If he doesn't want to sign a new deal Spurs should sell sooner rather than later before he makes any more 'mistakes', has 'lapses of concentration' or brain farts in big moments.
A Spurs man loves the club first and foremost and puts the needs of the club ahead of everything else.
Romero is a proven, petulant individual who often acts in his own interests ahead of all other priorities.
In summary I believe Romero should show Ange & Spurs the same level of loyalty and respect that he shows Argentina and you show to Levy.
Ah, the "Levy lover" defence. When you have no other recourse, fall back on that.
And you have the temerity to label my response "embarrassing?"
In your head. He's playing like a man suffering a loss of form. Look back at his response to reporters who questioned him about the RM interest. NOTHING like a player who wants to leave but is being prevented from doing so.
Just because you shoehorn a scenario into your thinking, doesn't make it true, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself.
You're basing all of this from a report from Football Insider?
Dear God!
Ok. So where has Romero demonstrated that he doesn't? He made himself available to play, before the international break, despite an injury that, if he had exacerbated it, would have meant he missed playing for his country. How does that stack up?
Really? Proven?
I really would like to see evidence of that. Forget the discipline issues though, as I've already debunked them.
Again with the "Levy lover" fallback.
You've got nothing here pal. You've invented a scenario in your head, and you've provided absolutely NOTHING of substance to back it up. As a result, you've invented another one where I'm defending Levy?
You're off your tits old son.
Guy who considers talkSPORT to be worthwhile football analysis out here talking about engaging in “rational debate”, fuck me sideways.
West Ham we went 1-0 down didn’t we early on? Regardless we struggle most against teams that park the bus , it’s not unique to us though , most teams will struggle against a deep block

I really think he deserves this season. The only way we will know if he can win a cup is to keep him in the job.
We are scoring goals and winning games by big margins. Yes we are inconsistent, but I’m Tottenham for half a century so inconsistent results are like water off a ducks back.
On a different note. Chelsea and Liverpool are going to be huge games in December.
Maybe Bentacur being banned forces Ange’s hand slightly too in his midfield style of play. Sometimes football throws you these situations that work out in your favour.
I definitely feel this was the case regarding the defence yesterday
Or held on v Brighton

Let’s hope so but you’d think sane would have been said previously before such games and we have come up short. Fulham last season case in point. Win that game abd we had CL in the bag and wouldn’t have needed to get all in a tizz over the citeh home game.
