What a load of nonsense.
They're still here because they're Spurs fans you silly man.. The only trolls are the divs crying gooner every time they read a post they don't approve of.

Fuck off with the ‘silly’ John
Or ‘Divs’ for that matter and you’re not too clever yourself

When we win and put in a good performance we never hear from you but when we lose and play crap you’re all over here like a cheap suit!

You know who I’m talking about and they’re never Spurs!
 
No it's actually much much more refrained than it used to be. A few years ago it was a complete free-for-all with virtually zero moderation of any kind. Then Admin stepped in, one or two got banned, and it's now like a tea garden party in comparison.

Yeah suppose you're right. I stopped using it back in the day due to how unreadable the threads became, after pissheads had run riot all night long haha. Just seems this 'who's a real fan' borefest is constant at the moment.

Back to regularly scheduled programming.

We are just never going to be serious under him. We’re going to be constantly under threat, constantly blowing leads, constantly placing ourselves into unnecessary danger.

“It’s just who we are mate”. An unserious club.
I am going to repeat myself here. These are the only thoughts I have on the club at the moment. We are not serious.
 
Using your logic no manager of any club would ever get fired because poor performances and results are down to the players and the players only.

It's completely illogical mate.
Nope, it’s not.
Yawn. 🥱
Wake up and think about it.
As I said earlier it’s so simplistic to blame the manager. They’re always the scapegoat.
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
 
People say we are inconsistent. I would say quite oppose - we are terribly consistent in giving up chances through our right flank, making late and weird subs, insisting on playing some guys based on their names no matter what, not being able to control game when opponent decides to not sit back, no aerial presence in penalty box despite Solanke, no 1on1 threat on the flank except Werner. As a result, a lot of matches are about whether opponent can exploit our weakneses (usually they are, so i can't remember last time when we didnt conceded major chance against) so its all about how deadly our opponent finishing is. If they score one or two, we have problems. If they have day off like City last time, greater chance we win. As a result.we are .500 team cause sometimes it works, sometimes not. Part of issue is because we decided Gray, Bergvall, Moore, are part of our first team this season and we don't want to block their path. I'm fine with that. Plus some injuries like Richy or Odobert. But many issues are down to manager.
 
I know we have injuries but I am really f'kin annoyed that Ange is not freshening things up or making subs sooner. It is so obvious when we are about to concede as the team drops deeper and deeper and the pressure mounts and yet he does nothing until after we concede. Porro and Udogie have been massively over played. Son is crap as a #9. Ultimately Levy's fault for not giving him a more complete squad, and we do have a lot if injuries, but he Ange shoots himself in the foot on an almost weekly basis.
 
Said it before and I'll say it again - as much as I want to back the manager, I just don't see it with Ange.
The Man City result, as good as it was, is the anomaly.
Today's performance is the base level rubbish we see on a regular basis.
Today, one team looked to have a good structure and was well coached and it wasn't us.

Everyone was saying after the City result, let's see the consistency and both Roma and Fulham were ropey performances.
Today was so poor and Fulham actually deserved to win.

Injuries or not, this isnt sustainable long term and personally I think we'll plod along for the rest of the season with the odd good result papering over the huge cracks everyone knows are there.
 
What's the point in giving him more time? It's the same shit with the odd good win. Just get rid, we are delaying the inevitable.

Still this, sadly. An inconsistent mess with some big highs and awful lows. Do any of you think the team is going to be better with another year of Ange, or more likely to be more of the same?
