Does this mean our stadium prices will be reduced to match theirs, now that we are on the same level.

the funny thing is, the losers that get off on being contrarians will think thats legit looool.
Appreciate your opinion mate but, if I want to see high scoring games like that, i will buy tickets to a basketball game.
High scoring games is for entertainment not for winning the big stuff, no successful team i have seen will win games like that on a regular basis.
Well, winning Europa is different from Carabao but I get what you mean.
But if he does win the Europa (Which I HIGHLY doubt we will) he does deserve a 3rd season.
My question is will he even last that long? I seriously think we are going to be fighting relegation with Wolves/Manu/Everton FFS. Even Amorim had a reality check and said they could be battling relegation this season.
Ange is still in dreamland.
He's been under contract with us for 19 months now. When can we start having a little look at the table and judging results. Could someone let us know?
The issue is right now, that we're happily conceding 4 or 6 and scoring 3, which is a little bit of a concern considering what the whole point of the game is.
I understand and appreciate having the back of a guy that you want to succeed. Whether that be someone you've followed for a long time, or whether it be someone that you just really like the way that a lot of Spurs fans seem to do with this manager.
But, you see this is the big issue. The idea that a section of Spurs fans are being unreasonable at having concerns over being 12th in the league or are somehow "not supporting the team" if they refuse to be docile in the face of such results.
And any potential next manager , will also be all too aware, that if they don't perform at the level needed. They will be also be paid off (substantially) and they'll have to move on. Because that is the life of top level football.
If it was the league campaign that affected their evaluation of him the most, I feel he would have been gone already.No realistic shot at CL football, and even European football in general is starting to get out of reach. There must be something else going on here.
In one extreme scenario, if they indeed think that this injury situation spoiled the league campaign altogether, that it would be entirely unfair to judge him on the basis of it, then he may not only finish this season but can also get the next one as well. A significant upturn in league form after everybody returns, even if it doesn’t amount to much in terms of standings, may convince them that he can deliver results under normal circumstances. In this case, even a failure to win a cup won’t be the death sentence for him. They’ll just consider this a lost season and pretend it never happened.
In a slightly different scenario, they still consider injuries as a mitigating factor, significant enough for them to withhold their judgment until cup campaigns come to a conclusion. They still cut him slack in terms of what’s happening in the league, but to have any chance of staying another year, he needs either LC or a deep run in more prestigious FA or EL. This is moderate compared to #1, but they still believe in him somewhat.
Another extreme end scenario is that they can’t wait to get rid of him ASAP. They lost all hope in him, but they don’t want to pull the plug when we’re still in all competitions. They’ll wait until there’s nothing left to play for, and another round of Mason is awaiting us. They’re sitting on their hands for now only because they couldn’t find a replacement, and they’re afraid of the backlash that Mason would probably generate.
I still consider #2 as the most likely one, but hearing all this talk about backing him even #1 wouldn’t surprise me.

We were before and we will be after mate
A better coach maybe not. I said best I should have said most successful.
EL and 15th is still more successful than Poch. Objectively speaking.
BJ is scoring, assisting and working hard.Yea, like BJ. Top quality player right there
Long way to go in his career. The softness pisses meme off off at times but then there are games when he’s been very good. Still very much a young player.
Tbh if you use him as a cheap scapegoat like that instead of making a real point, your either taking the piss or a bit of a Wally
Whatever , knock yourself out .Eh....That's exactly what you've been doing with every post you've been making.
Using the current situation to beat people who are angry, upset, or think we deserve better.
Hey, listen...If you gonna dish it out mate, at least have the decency to take it back, yeah?
Well done spotting and documenting these- damning stuff if we are being honest:
Kulu: "We should think maybe to play a little bit differently, but, we want always to play the same, so, you know, you have to live with the result."
If we are too cheap and unambitious to wait to sack him until the end of season, it represents a regression from big-team mentality/competitiveness, and a return to West Ham levels of existence.
Wow!
If that's not a senior player saying the manager is a sack of shite, I don't know what is.
I think you’re living in a different era.
£50m these days is not the big fee it was a few years ago. Especially for English players.
Not his fault what he cost.
Welcome on board mate.
You’ve probably been welcomed by those that hate anyone not Ange OUT or here from another club. You fit both so will get plenty of stick.
You’ve basically written the worst post they could ever read.
I actually enjoyed it tho so welcome on board
BJ is horrendously bad and should be nowhere near Spurs. He'll never be good enough. It was a braindead transfer and the sooner we move on, the better.
He is scoring tap ins. We could get anyone to do that. He's not assisting much. He's not working very hard either.
If he actually steps up, beat some players, and contribute something to the team, fair enough, but so far he's only leeching on his team mates. He's not helping them to create anything but he's living off their hard work to tap in from 2 yards.
He's a massive burden for the team. He's the reason for our severe underperformance and the few times he was benched, the team destroyed the competition.
0-4 against City
0-5 against Southampton. After the first half Ange decided to put on BJ for Son, probably thinking that BJ could get a few easy goals to pad his stats. Our entire attack died, although some Ange supporters claimed that we were suddenly managing the game. As if.
No you can’t get anyone to score tap ins or anyone would do it.
If you don’t understand that then this whole conversation is a waste of Time.
Fair, well, either way - you can support the manager without being branded as a splitter, though I do take
JDefoe
's point that if you're just supporting the manager, and have no long-term desire to support the club then it is a bit weird.Anyone would do it if you have the team mates that can provide you the passes. Tell me one player who couldn't score the tap ins that BJ has scored. Just one.
Under normal circumstances there's not such a gap in quality between the players in a team. Every player usually have something to offer. That is why we're struggling. BJ is so far away from the rest of the team. That's why we smashed city and southampton when he played without him. Once he returned, we were back to the mediocre Spurs that belongs in the bottom half.
