Hopefully someone else can link the interview and it wasn't just the voices in my head!
Of course it has been a disaster. We've been apalling in the league, mediocre in Europe, and we are a typical away performance at Anfield to being out of the league cup, and you get fk all for exiting at the SF stage. You may aswell get knocked out in the first round if you don't end up winning it.
We absolutely struggled to beat a NL team with one of the worst performances in recent memory. We were an absolute hairwidth away from being knocked out in the 94th minute if that Tamworth player had made a better connection.
Ange is an absolute disaster. He was so flukey yesterday that we weren't knocked out, as he was versus Coventry. He seems to be doing just enough to scrape by and hang on to his job, but let's be honest, he's doing a terrible job.
As each game goes by, it's more and more clear Ange is leading us nowhere but to failure yet the Ange fans still double down even more so.
Plot Twist, Levy sacks him the week before
Or Joe Lewis tells him.
“Ange, I am your father!!”
You would have thought so, but remember Conte kicking off with his "club signing" on can't remember the player , might have been Djed actually?
I know Johnson gets a lot of stick and I think if he was just a bit braver on the ball he would be a lot better but he does seem like a Ange type of signing, the trouble is yesterday you got the feeling he knew it was going to be a physical game and he wasn't up for it, Mickey Moore was the same in the first half but second half he came out and was playing his game.
Dragu is a strange one, he would be a good defender under Conte or Jose but i get the feeling in Anges system he is always going to look out of place as he doesn't like the ball, but yeah last 3/4 years our signings have been really good when you think about it and your never going to get every one right.
No he didn’t - this is taken out of context and is made out as though he said we will win a trophy this season. He simply corrected a reporter who said you normally win trophies in the second season, and said I always win things (past tense).He should resign if he doesn't. He made such a big thing of winning things in season 2.
Ah yes disappointing to get turned over by them despite the only manager to win there in the Prem era is Harry Redknapp
You talk about the possibility of us being relegated this season yet it's disappointing to lose to Woolwich, you're not a serious chap are you
Do you deny that Woolwich on recent form we couldn't at least get a draw? Yes we have a poor record there but Ange needs to show something starting now in terms of league results. It seems you just accept defeat and already have your excuses in for Ange at the ready.
I am only talking about the possibility of us being involved in a relegation fight, not actually going down. Stop making stuff up. My assumption about us being involved in a fight at the bottom is due to 2 wins in 10 PL games and Ange's overall tenure.
FWIW I am not sure about Wednesday. Do we turn up like we did against Liverpool and battle for a result? I'd love to think so but my head says we will get absolutely battered on Wednesday, but I'd love to be proved wrong.
Who really knows, but remember the Conte Interview about Djed being a club signing, I think Brennan was a Ange buy though , someone he wanted , whether he regrets that now is a different matter.

Djed Spence is prepared to ignore the fact that Antonio Conte continues to refer to him as a “club signing” at Tottenham.

theres a lot of weirdos that follow him around. the actual real spurs fans that still want him have never had any respect in the first place when it comes to their opinions on football. these are the idiots that sing about loving eric dier and thought harry winks was going to be special. the same bunch that just over a year ago thought skipp was better than sarr.....these people are clueless bless them.
None, and I mean none of the teams in a better league position would be in the position they’re currently in if they had 3 of 4 CBs out for months, their first choice goalkeeper out for months, their LB out at the same time (!) etc. None of them.
It’s insanity and extreme naivety to think that having to play 2nd or 3rd choice players often out of position with virtually no ability to rotate for an extended period is a recipe for success in the Premier League.
You and your misery wank buddies can pretend otherwise as much as you like, that’s not a problem, but don’t expect to be taken seriously by those of us with brains that have developed beyond childhood.
Have seen us go to into these games above them in the league and clearly the better team that season but still come away with only a draw.
Let’s look at some facts.
Woolwich home league form
P9. W6 D3 L0
Our away form
P9 W3 D1 L5.
We are still playing our 2nd (inexperienced) options in 4 out of 5 defensive positions. We are not full strength. Far from it.
Looking at all that it would be a brave / stupid person to bet on a Spurs win.
Smart money will be on a home win.
The realistic optimists will be hoping for a draw.
Preferred it to a badly fitted suit.
For the record, I don't care if a coach wears a suit or a tracksuit.
But if you wear a suit, there's no excuse for it looking like it came from another person.
Agree with your second point. And I'd add that we've signed Kinsky due to injuries. So the injury crisis has effectively resulted in four players showing they are first team quality through their performances. Agreed that is a massive positive.
Struggled?
We had 85% of the ball and won 3-0. Only 2 of their players touched the ball more than 20 times.
We took our time, and managed the game. Gave some good minutes to our squad and were able to get out defence some vital playing time together.
This was effectively a midweek training session.
Some brilliant mental gymnastics this.
That we almost lost.
It was 0-0 after 90 minutes and apart from a couple of shots from Maddison their keeper had fuck all to do.
Getting a game like this to extra time and needing to bring on Solanke, Son and Deki to rescue us isn't "managing the game".
So in the context of one of the richest football clubs in the world coming up against a team of part timers, yes we struggled.
You're absolutely insulting everyone's intelligence here to try and argue otherwise.
This is the most fickle argument I see in this thread and it's far too regular.
Those same players who aren't fit for purpose beat Liverpool the other night. Fairly comfortably.
If the squad was as bad as people make out, we wouldn't have managed that nor would we have managed any wins really.
Even though most of our wins have come against poor teams or out of form teams, they're still winning games (with less frequency) against actual PL teams.
The problem for me seems to be that our tactics pay off against some teams but not others. And when they're not working, nobody knows what to do. That's the coach and the players. Are the players allowed to improvise? I don't know. Maybe, maybe they're worried about being dropped if they deviate from Plan-A
When they do work, against a "compatible" opponent, then it works well.
What I notice here, is that when we win those games, the Angefans are congratulating him for the win. But when we lose, they berate the players as not good enough for his system. I don't buy that at all.
