In 25 years, Robbie will be 59 and Theron will be 74.
I'll be getting on for 69.
You're probably right, but then I might have a shout.
Whether or not I could actually get it up is another matter.

Most Home Games Conceded First in a Calendar Year (2024)
We went 1-0 down in 15 home games during the 2024 calendar year, the most EVER by a Premier League team in a single year
Worst Home Winless Run Since 2008 (2024)
We went five straight home matches without a win in the Premier League. Our longest winless run at home since 2008, a year that also saw us pick up their lowest Premier League points total (52) in a calendar year
Shots Faced in a Calendar Year (2025)
In the first 11 games of 2025, we faced 167 shots on goal, averaging over 15 per game. This is more than 40 shots higher than any other Premier League club in all competitions during that period, including the relegation sides!
On course for our highest Number of losses in a Single Premier League Season with 15 currently and 19 being our worst ever (Ossie Ardiles)
Most Goals Conceded in a Calendar Year Since 2008 (2024)
Longest Run of Consecutive Premier League Defeats in 16 Years (2024/25)
We had four consecutive Premier League losses between late January and early February 2025, a streak not seen since the 2008/09 season
Most Goals Conceded in All Competitions in a Season (2024/25)
By February 2025, we had conceded 57 goals across 39 games in all competitions, averaging over 1.5 goals per game. A figure worse than all but Leicester (62) and Southampton (63)
3 NLD lost in a row for the first time since 1989. This has not happened in 36 years! But it's happened under Ange and it's been accepted by so many of you
Our worst points tally at this stage of the season since 2009. 16 years
0-0 with a part time side 96 places below us in 90 minutes. A club who literally have part time footballers working in retail
We've now lost 6 games pre International break periods. Wolves, Fulham, Newcastle, Brighton, Ipswich and Fulham again

He wasn't terrible before he got injured last season and I was dead against signing him in the first place.
He's yet another product of the lack of player coaching that seems rife at Spurs.
All these things MOTD2 pick up on can all, IMO, be attributed to players not being coached.
I would agree with you if it wasn't for the EL. This is a competition we could easily win with a competent manager who can set us up properly away from home. We can beat Frankfurt and Lazio at home no problem. The problem is going away to them teams in the second leg with no defensive shape and trying to play out from the back! We have literally no chance of getting by them teams with Ange as the coach. I'd give Mason a better chance! League is done for sure. Finishing 15th or 10th makes no odds to me bar the reputation damage its doing and the low standards we're setting
He hasn't earned the right to be a PL manger any more than anyone else who won a title with a pub team.
He's 78 and he relied heavily on his coaching staff who are even older than he is. Redknapp literally did no coaching. This is a non starter. They've been out the game for far too long.
worse than gross too
Honestly if he hasn't lost the dressing room, that probably just makes things worse. Because if a manager has lost the dressing room, it's understandable that it looks the way it does. If he hasn't, why on earth are we playing so badly and lacking in energy? Also, it's not a good sign about the mentality of our players if they're accepting this utter dross.
If we got the Spanish waiter we’d salvage some league form and have a better chance in EL.
Keeping Ange is almost certainly bottom half and an exit to Frankfurt.
I cannot believe that Small Print Levy wont have some clause saying something like if we slip near the relegation zone then he can be replaced with no comp.
In fact, if we go on a run of one win in 10 home matches he has to leave, no comp, and gotta pay back all his salary. With interest too.
I have a nasty feeling Chelsea will batter us
I just think they are being allowed to get away with it now. No serious person inside or out of the game can look at us and think that this is any good.
Does it? Or does it give Levy more revenue for development projects? We have never had an issue attracting big names. I don't prescribe to champions league = bigger players... weekly wages = bigger players.
Yea i think it could get even worse if he stays. The team has gone. Fully expect to finish 15th or 16th and get some batterings along the way. Man U Everton and West Ham all look in better nick than us and we're not catching anyone else.
And you are possibly right.
I think the bloke talks well. Not after a match, win or lose, where in some respects he argues against himself because he says the players did as asked. That infers all losses are the opposite. Nonsense.
But in the cold light of it he talks with eloquence and clarity. What he can't get past is the lack of anything tangible, with a fit squad or not.
I also think there are numerous managers out there who would take on the relative limitations of the club's/Levy's model and do much much better.
It can't go on.
Why? This is sacking off the season? Why?
There are interims out there who might just get us through Eintracht, but with this Buck EEjit there is no chance whatsoever.
An interim might even get us 2-3 spots up in the table - that's 10m. Not shabby at all.
I'll go to EF tie with mates, and we'll do our best, but I really don't plan to go to anymore PL games as long as he's in charge. Maybe the last one, out of habit.
Forest - Palace - Brighton at home: how many pts with Fatso in charge?
And Saints - thats 4 days before the EF home tie, so with a very weak team there we might even lose that one.
I love Spurs more than I hate this guy and I really think we should be putting the team first here
practicing for his next jobThat offside shout from Ange
What a fucking idiot
