And it's an absolute shambles now
It's less bad now. There's very little of the pure sunk cost deadwood that was killing us.

A lot of the credit for this goes to Paratici, Lange and Levy, but Ange is due some as well.

As I've often said, the worst you can say about Levy is that he's put the club in an excellent position for success under leadership that isn't him.

Perhaps the same is true of Ange.

Hopefully true

But to come out with such a stupid statement while his side sits 15th with 5 points out of 27 pretty much sums the man up
 
"in a better position than last year"


He's deranged
Yeah I’m not even trying to hold it down with him on that one 🤣

If he’d said we will be on a better position when we get out the other side, maaaaybe but even that would be a reach.
 
All I’m saying is we have seen elite level performances against the very best teams. Those are the ceiling of this project.

The problem is that we’ve seen a very low floor against Ipswich and the average atm is miles off the ceiling.

I would argue that quite often we don't even take those risks to try and score. In too many situations where there is a shooting chance (Bar Porro) or a chance to play a difficult pass into the box I see us decide to protect the ball and recycle it back to the keeper.
There's possession and there's advantage. We have the first and lack the second.
 
In all seriousness, I think part of his shtick is to talk such utter bollocks that it can’t really be challenged.

It’s so daft, you don’t even know where to begin.

And I fucking hate his ‘mate’ routine.
What's his mate got to do with it...?

You can choose your friends, you can't choose your Family or Football team!
(or you shouldn't be able to just 'choose' your football team... It should be foisted on you... or else very few would've chosen Spurs!!)

I… chose Spurs.

We were poor growing up, and I didn’t really pay attention to sports, much less football.

It was only when I got to primary school, I realised I really should get into football and one day, I saw the Spurs crest and loved the design of it.

The rest is history and I still hate my childhood self to this day.

When people ask “what would you tell yourself if you could go back in time”. My response would be “don’t pick Spurs. No matter what you do, don’t pick Spurs”.

Personally I think it’s a barbed comment at anyone who is no longer at the club. Anyone who might be giving those interviews……a bit of a fuck you.


“You can do a million investigations and talk to anonymous sources but you don’t need to talk to anonymous sources you can talk to me. Every decision that is made is on me. I’m responsible for it. I’m the one that is guiding this. If you’re looking for a head on a stick take mine. But I am absolutely 100 per cent confident that we are in a much better place in all areas of the club today than we were when I started.”

Well picked up, he is responding to the Geoff Scott report.

Not going to make a joke about you being “in the hole”.

Aye, we all say stuff on here that goes too far. I did too. As I often do. No hard feelings.
