Random off topic but do you manage to get to away games closer to Wales?

I remember being able to go away pretty easily but nowadays saying tickets are like rocking horse shit for me would be an understatement.

I found it easier a few years ago. I’ve seen Spurs play in Cardiff when they was in the PL.

Tbh I also found it easier to get away tickets in general. Seen Spurs at Villa and Wigan (that was fucking shit. Took hours coz trains were fucked, it pissed it down all day, and we lost 1-0!)

I like him. I stayed till the end yesterday and missed my train as I felt the team deserved our full time applause. The issue is with the board they need to support him and stick with him. If by the summer there has been no improvement then fair enough. The man though deserves our faith.

Does he? I think he comes across as a belligerent oaf; very stubborn, not too bright, and actually quite hostile to the fanbase. The media can distort but I get a different vibe about him - not a positive one.

For me, it wholly depends on what is meant here by "backing".

I can get behind this backing if;
-They feel sorry for him because of this injury situation, and want to see whether he can turn things around when it's no longer the case
-They have already written this season off, so they don't see any point in making a change
-They want to make a well informed decision in the summer without any of the constraints that are present at the moment
- In the meantime they'll continue making club signings that bear no relation to who the manager is, or will be

By contrast, if it's a glorification of laziness/inertia, if they plan on keeping him for the foreseeable future because he knows how to talk the talk or whatever, then this "backing" is almost guaranteed to backfire. Whatever this current project is, it can certainly carry on just fine, with or without Ange.

These football journalists reporting that Ange is being backed etc just makes me think he is very close to the exit.

I think it could just be that Levy has a rep for falling out with Managers until Ange since 2019 no manager had started and finished the season with us. I don’t know what they are seeing with Ange to keep him but I would not be surprised if he is still here in May.

Also I think Ange is actually liked in the press room. Matt Law loves digging in the knife but he has made an excuse for him.

I used to live in Edinburgh so I went to Everton and Sunderland away. Back then I qualified with something like 10LPs.

That was like 12 years ago. Crazy how quickly that changed
