There's also the question of whether, with this style of football, we'll ever be able to keep those players healthy for any considerable stretch of the season.

Not that they’ll care but I still haven’t renewed my season ticket. I’m just finding it so hard to justify continuing because this doesn’t even feel like we’ve hit the bottom yet.
Have we not comprehensively answered that question this year?
I just don’t get how he survived that, europa league or not. This season has made no sense to me.
I think it’s something like 16 wins from 22 games? Something along those lines. And there’s always going to be half a dozen games a season where we shit the bed, no matter how “good” a season we’re having, so that may explain away a number on your list.
That’ll be the flaw in the plan I was talking about. It was ok at Celtic, as their reserves were still better than most other first teams. Don’t have that here though.
Fair enough. But end of the day, I think the results & table don't lie. We're a very poor team, full of gutless sissies, managed by the biggest fraud in the PL, all working for a gangster property developer parading as a Spurs-loving football chairman.
Finishing 5th last season was a fluke due in large parts to that famous 10-game stretch. That Europa League run to the final is so overblown it's not even funny anymore.
How some can still defend that shite is unreal. Not talking about you btw.

For Postecoglou, it was another unedifying defeat and as preparation for Wednesday’s Europa League final against Manchester United goes, this was another demoralising takeaway. By the end the early promise of their fit-again captain, Son Heung-min, had fizzled out. At this point it is intriguing to consider quite how many bruising results Spurs can stomach in one season. This was their 25th defeat of the campaign in all competitions, equalling the club record for a single season, set in 1991-92, and Tottenham have now lost eight of their past 11 top-flight matches.
Postecoglou made three changes from Sunday’s defeat by Crystal Palace but Son and Wilson Odobert, who filled in for the injured Dejan Kulusevski, may be the only ones to start both here and in Spain. The January signing Antonin Kinsky again deputised for Guglielmo Vicario, who was on the bench, and the defensive trio of Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven trained at Spurs’s base rather than travelling to Villa Park, a decision Postecoglou defended.
“They stayed at home, did a really strong session and come Wednesday they are all available and that is the most important thing,” the Spurs manager said. “When those guys play, with Vic in goal, our chances of success significantly improve.”

Wait until after Wednesday...if we win, there's a faint chance he'll still be here next season..if we lose, renew asap
He also could bring some players off after 60 minutes, which doesn't work in the Premier League.
Never seen him this emphatic.
It's over.
Thank god.
Herc probably thinks that the decision should be made after the Brighton game or not!
Don’t think he’s a fraud, just not suited to this league.
As for others defending him? Who the fuck cares? It’s getting out of hand on here recently. “I think what I think and if anyone thinks differently, they’re a stupid cunt” is the overriding theme of the forum these days.
I think many are still not sure about next season.
Still can't see much better than what has gone this year.
Well it surely can't be worse....can it?
We don't have anyone capable of being a good captain, so first signing needs to be a captain. Preferably a nasty bastard who has the physicality to go with the leadership. Train Hume from Sunderland would be rather apt.
Nah. I cannot see it.
The guy is gone IMHO regardless of Wednesday.
Madders doesn't really seem Captain material. Bergvall is captain in the making though. He has a nasty streak in him and gives 100% every time he is on the pitch.
I dunno. There’s been so many chances to sack him before now and we’ve not done it. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if he starts next season regardless of what happens on Wednesday.
Only relegation would be worse, and we went close on that, so yes had to be better.
