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.”
Explains exactly why he has not been sacked here. He’s taking the blame for everything and is therefore the perfect pasty for the cold dead hands of Levy.

Someone should tell the wanker that accepting the blame for the situation being absolutely shit does not make the situation in anyway acceptable.
 
I know Postecoglou has a rep for being a bit cranky after losses (which means a lot of crankiness this season :D) but I've been watching manager interviews on Sky sports today and loads of em are on the angry pills this week

Can't believe he has lasted so long, must be because they are waiting until the summer.
Have to say I don't enjoy watching the team since he has been in charge.
The odd couple of games, but the rest has been gash.
Thankfully I have lowered my expectations with the club, they currently sit at ground zero.

Oh shit you are actually right.

Fuck you Geoff Scott.
 
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”.
I try to find the positives in it. Supporting Spurs keeps me humble and has taught me to never take anything for granted!

But apart from that there is no positives. Its been a miserable existence where any joy is quickly overrode by eternal misery. I look back on our champions league run in 2019 with fond memories, but then I remember how poor the final was and that crazy Sissoko handball and I'm straight back to misery. There is little to cling on to. I enjoy watching us play so treat it like a hobby but then when we lose I'm in a bad mood for a few days so none of it is worth it really. I try to enjoy the wins and make the most of them but I find I just feel like an idiot for getting my hopes up if I do start enjoying it.

Agree with most of that apart from being in a bad mood when we lose. I barely care when we win to be honest because it never leads to anything.

It's not just Spurs though. The oil money, the media, the expense, and fucking VAR have ruined the sport I used to love with such passion.

Only a shame all those areas we improved so greatly don't include on the pitch or table position, personally my favourite areas.

I’m pretty sure there’s about 100 factors behind Ange still being here.
Can’t be bothered to type it all. It’s like a whole essay!!
Would make a decent podcast.

Should hit up Flav!!

He was hired specifically to survive a moment like this. The club wanted a project and wanted to stick through with a set of attacking principles.

The idea being that consistency and stability would allow for the thing Levy has always wanted: to win while spending less than the competition.

Well, here we are.

True, we don't have much to shout about as Spurs fans but I try to celebrate the small victories

Like that time we sold Emerson Royal. A joyous occasion, almost brings a tear to the eye. Or that time Gary Linekar shat himself

Cherished memories

I mean, I kind of like this. Responsibility is a ball that is passed very quickly in football, but he wants to keep hold of it. Got to admire that in someone. He’s going to die on his principles though unfortunately for him. A fine line between greatness and madness and all that.
 
If this chump turns it around now, it’s the greatest comeback since Lazarus.

Still not sure why he is crying about injuries when so much damage was done against Palace and Ipswich ( and Leicester also perhaps ) when at full strength. How much different would we feel if just those 7 points were added. Small margins etc. but certainly would not be crapping myself playing Leicester…

His comments today about being in a better place than this time last year are demented.

if we lose this one it has to be his last game, doesnt it?

Because he keeps on being asked about them!

I find Spurs fans dismissing our injury crisis purely for the fact you don't like the manager just uber weird, you literally sound like rival fans trying to play everything down.
