Mate, I didn't appoint the guy. I wanted Conte to stay but a lot of people wanted him out. Somehow some people were happy that Conte lost the job. Look how he's doing now at Napoli. And then this guy Ange comes in. He's getting all the support without doing shit. He's getting the backing from Levy that no other manager did before. He's throwing it away BJ. His marquee player. You can't make this shit up. Levy would never ever had paid even 25M for a guy like BJ for any of the other managers. They did a lot with less. Ange can't even rack up back to back wins every once in a while.

He's blaming injuries now but guess what. His super star and our record signing hasn't been injured at all. Only all other players in the process of trying to make BJ the star. He's killing the careers of our guys. Micky, Destiny, even Romero even though I haven't liked him under Ange. It's our way of playing. You want to see our youngsters careers cut short just because of this guy who doesn't know how to play football?

It's our damn duty as Spurs fans to get rid of this cunt!
Conte has stayed longer than 2 years exactly once in his career and at a job where he won the league both years.

Conte was done here.

Conte never lasts 3 years in a team. It was his 2nd year here, even if we kept him he would have made a mess and left the next year. He is a short term solution and we need a long term one.
 
I just watched the video. He was asked if 2024 was a year he'd rather forget. He said "No because then you'd forget the good things that came out of it, like finishing 5th from 8th the previous season"

Are we agreed that finishing 5th after finish 8th the season before is a good thing that happened in 2024?
It is on paper but he said he wasn’t interested in top 4 last season when we’re chasing it. He said it has to be sustainable or something epg. Anyways he talks BS and contradicts himself.

Conte refused to come back to work whilst getting paid a shite ton more money.

I was with him until he did that. He was fucking toxic in the end but even before that the stadium was singing Poch’s name because everyone was sick of him talking up every opponent and talking down little old Spurs.
 
Started to think - maybe some aborigine witch cursed him or something? Being tactically out of depth is one thing, but being cursed and not having any luck could be sackable offence itself.

Nah, it's our job as fans to support the team whenever they play.

"If you're walking through nature ... you can't say "my map is what I believe in" if there is a mountain ahead of you".

You could if the mountain was on the map! But his point is well made. If you don't have the provisions to tackle that obstacle to hand, you have to work out another way to navigate the terrain.

Newcastle's going to be an interesting game.
 
He said 5th was better than the 8th he inherited. Which is true. Especially when you consider that 8th had Kane and his 5th didn't.

He never blamed it on injuries once. I watched it.

But who did he inherit the 8th placed team from?
Is he comparing his years of experience as first team head coach with Mason? There’s a reason why Mason has not been given a permanent job as first team head coach at the club …… yet.
 
It really isn't that hard to understand right? It's quite unthinkable some fans want everything their own way to then feel 'justified' in supporting the team.
It's in the best interest of the club if he goes. It's like saying that you have to support the leader of your country even if they're destroying the country. You definitely have the right to want change.
Ange has lost it. It should be clear to everyone.
What is strange is that a lot of people still support Ange.

I think its more case that some fans appreciate all the facts and can understand that the current situation at the club is totally unmanagable. We will be missing anywhere between 10-15 senior players today against an in form Newcastle team!

We've been missing at least 7 players every game (including starting GK and 2 starting Centre backs) since the 4-0 city win and have had a game every 3 days where we've not been able to rotate due to all the players missing. This has been an unmanagable crisis and this idea of sacking Ange to fix it makes no sense to me. We need to increase our squad depth and get our injured players back before we can make a final judgement on Ange.

I get it fans are frustrated and just want to see their team winning again but we can't lose context and perspective. The current situation is the worst I've ever seen. The line up we put out today could be the worse ever Spurs line up in Premier League history! Now would be the worst time to throw in a new manager! For now we just have to suck it up and wait for this crazy period to end and once we have a team ready to win again then we can judge the manager.

I know it wasn't perfect before the injuries but I was quiet happy with Ange and our performances, and happy to give him time before we lost half our squad and have been playing with one hand behind our back ever since.
 
The great thing about today is our manager should face absolutely no criticism because of the absences as I envisage the good people of TFC to understand that and absolutely not have a meltdown should we lose the match...at all

Agreed. There is a very good chance that we could see Tottenham's worst ever line up in the premier league today! Take the screenshots and remember the team we put out today because this will be the low point of this era. This is trenches.

Onwards and upwards after today
 
More gung ho sh!t from Mr Hong Kongaroo Fuey today.

The worst is that it makes no difference.

We can't break down well organised defences and we can't defend.

Injuries aside, which can't be dismissed, I just don't see the picture or feel it is anything that brings success.

Today will simply add ballast to my view.

And yet the bloke talks with some authority and makes some good points.

It's all so bizarre.
