That is the reason I can't commit to the Ange-out train yet. The players are clearly not downing tools.

I remain Angenostic but we're not in a normal situation right now. I have never, in four decades, felt so conflicted about a manager.
Because he's an expert conman that has hoodwinked half the fanbase, the chairman and most of the players he is a real coach.

I reckon Madison has figured him out and that's why he can't buy a start.
 
You always need to get to 40 points or so. You can never ever take for granted PL status. Yes it's unlikely, but when we can't even buy a win, I'd rather not take the chances.

I don't want to be sitting here in May going "shucks, we should have maybe taken the league games more seriously!, oh well, Leeds away next season"

Furthermore, we aren't winning any fucking cups under Ange. It's deluded to think we are.

Pussyhole 😆
 
I don't really like what I've seen of his football since he's been here. Even with everyone available it's been meh and at best it's been a shit 45 followed by a good 45. Will we win a bit more with our 2 central defenders back? Probably. Will we start smashing teams 4-0 every week based on what we've seen so far in his tenure? I find that highly unlikely, almost delusional to at this point think he will take us anywhere near to where poch or redknapp or even conte got us.
 
There's no volatility with Ange.

In crypto terms he's not BTC, he's DJT. There was an initial bump and enthusiasm...and then it's just been shit. An occasional minor spike (City result) but it immediately crashes back.

Nah, dudu dudu has debunked that 10 game nonsense so many times. There was another 16 game spell after those 10 games that was way more instrumental in us finishing 5th last year.

But that 10 games was the initial pump to show you what the ceiling of this project could be. Then we had a spell playing that well but without the same results to start this season. Now we have the worst injury/availability crisis and run of results in years... If that's not volatility I don't know what is.
 
I've said for months now. Under Ange we simply don't beat teams that actually turn up. The only teams we beat are ones in really poor form.
I've been saying it from the very start. The only time we win against teams in any semblance of form is usually against 10 or even 9 men as well.

This guy and his reputation is like a placebo. Most of the time the football is fucking woeful. Slow. Side to side. Back to the keeper. Out wide. Back into the middle. Back to the keeper. Slow passes back to the final 3rd. Then we give it away and concede.
But the fucking sheep all think it's great.
It's like taking a sugar tablet and convincing yourself it's cured all your illnesses.
 
Yes it is a disgrace, that’s my opinion and that’s it. Defending this inept manager just means you’re perfectly okay with mediocrity we’ve shown over more than a fucking year. Is that what you want for the club?

I don't see why I have to hate a manager who is doing his best for the club. He is and has been very clear for years about his style and tactics, he wasnt my choice to take over from Conte but the club chose him and no matter what you or I think the club will do whatever the fuck they want.

The players need your support right now. Lots of kids, lots of players without much PL experience, the club has decided to start a new project so whether it's Ange or someone else as manager its still going to take time to put together a decent squad that can challenge for a European place and progress in cup competitions
 
What are you actually scared of, do you think we'd be relegated, seriously?

Even if we get half our tens back now we'd finish in or around the places we are in now.

Are fans are wimps I swear. Fuck me.
yeh you're missing the point intentionally and it's obvious.

If our thick as pig shit manager priorities the cups and rotates players for the league do you think that sends the correct message to the players? ok forget the mentality side of it.

We can barely pick up draws when we rotate ffs..we fucking don't have the squad. Imagine we start "rotating" to prioritise cups. It's all well and good calling everyone "wimps" but it seems the "wimps" are the ones living in the real world and you're living in some make believe fantasy world which doesn't take into account factual evidence..just a belief based on absolutely nothing.
 
Yes! I’m hoping to compete for mid table! Well-argued Shadydan- you really twisted my words there.

Ignoring a run of results as not relevant to future performance- unbelievable.

As I said- good luck out there.


Actually these were your words which kicked off this stupid argument, I haven't twisted these.

Who cares about a couple mickey mouse cups? I don’t even give a shit if other teams win them- they’re a joke. CL and PL are the pinnacle of competition in this sport- it’s where the very best games are played. I personally don’t think much of EL, or the modern FA or EL cups.

Talking about future performance as if we can afford to turn our noses up at cups, you're talking crap - we're in a pretty unique situation where we haven't won a fucking trophy since 2008 and here you are trying put more value in the league as if it means more to us, unbelievable.
 
Finishing in CL places is done. Qualifying for EL again is still doable.

I appreciate some of you genuinely think we can win the EL or somehow beat Liverpool over two legs for the EL cup. I’m here to tell you there’s no way that will happen- we can’t even beat Nottingham Forest, or Newcastle at home.

Please try and understand this, fellow Spurs fans. We are trying to save you from greater pain farther on down the line.
Nah, fuck em.
If they want to be fucking idiots they deserve to be absolutely devastated when we get spanked by Liverpool, knocked out of the FA Cup by a championship side and humiliated in Europe by a feeder club for someone else.

I hope they're genuinely downbeat when all that happens, because they only have themselves to blame.
