You do sometimes realise that Spursy actually exists.
True..... but nothing will be more spurs than finishing 17th and winning the Europa.
Well, even MORE Spurs will be a penalty shootout defeat and 17th, so ...

It's not, but it's the one we're in.It's so tough this one... I understand Jaynola's point of view... this club is a shit show and has been for a few seasons now... our PL form is disgraceful and it is the real measurement of the health of the club... winning the Europa does not paper over the cracks of this club... but, we've been starved of success for so long that winning the Europa League, even under this clown will be a day to remember. Yes, it's not the premier European trophy but I still regard it as proper silverware even if the competition has been weakened significantly over the years. It also delivers Champions League although I'm quite scared about that... we could be well and truly embarrassed and I don't think a new manager changes that. Maybe look at it this way... and I will creditWillWilliams for the inspiration here - Winning the Europa is like a two way with Margot Robbie (the trophy) and Melissa McCarthy holding a 10inch dildo (Ange)... you are not turning down that opportunity even if you have a sore ass in the morning.
Nobody associated with this club should be looking down on any trophy up for grabs, even back when we were in the Europa Conference, if we are so above it then we should have been able to win it at a canter...
If (and I'm sorry but I cannot muster any real expectation that we will) we do win it, then we'll then have an opportunity at the European Super Cup, and I don't care if it's a glorified friendly, I'd be absolutely delighted if we won that too. Probably be a lot more excited about that too given that we will presumably have someone in charge that you can actually have some belief in.
Is it still played in Monaco... if so their scoreboard only goes up to 9... they might need to find another digital digit.
Bit early to make that call. They do seem decent, though. But they can afford far better players than ours.
Someone has probably posted it here already but I couldn’t find it.
I just saw a clip on FB of Danny Murphy talking to Adrian Durham on TalkShite. It must have been after the Liverpool game on Sunday or Monday. Anyway, there was the usual question of whether Ange Should be given next season if we win the EL. Was quite surprised to hear Murphy give an emphatic No! He said Ange needs to go and the reason is “I just don’t think he’s a very good coach.”
This is the first time I’ve heard a mainstream pundit call out Ange for being crap. I’ve seen a few that I reckon wanted to say something but always chickened out, then went on to say things like maybe he should be given more time or see what he’s like without the injuries etc.
Instead, Murphy said he couldn’t believe what he saw at the Wolves game where we conceded 4. Said he believed we must be the only team in PL that has absolutely no defensive plan. Our full backs end up in centre circle for no reason, or cover at centre half because our centre half is out on the wing somewhere and if there is any marking it’s simply someone deciding to do it as opposed to a plan. Never seen anything like it. And the space given to Trent in Spurs own half on Sunday, time and time again being unopposed was shocking.
Hopefully a few of the others join in now and Daniel is listening.

We are Spurs..we can do anything...especially if we fluke our way in the EL...
He's so arrogant that I really think he thinks he's doing a good job....EL semi finals...and maybe even the cup...he doesn't live in our world...
I understand what you're saying completely but with this club you simply can't bank on anything...especially if the season has been a profitable one...we all know where levy's priorities lie...I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised...
All gone quiet on the Glasner front.
Hope it's the small matter of a FA cup final

"I've never seen a team defensively set up without a defensive plan"
Ouch.

Well done. I couldn’t find it again after having a Quick Look.
People need to watch it.
Murphy liberally cannot believe what he's been seeing.
It's a brutal - and accurate - appraisal.

He is the only one I actually listen to when he talks about Ange, because he never shys from telling it how it is. His technical explanations as well are really spot on when you see what he is talking about.
This is not the first time, he's been exposing the fraud manager all season.
Big respect to Danny. I like how cool and calm he is when talking about it. You feel the knowledge and confidence of what he is saying.
