We won the Europa League. Fantastic! Ange in.

We finished 17th. Fucking disgraceful! Ange out.

That, in effect, is the sum total of this entire thread...4352 pages and counting...Jesus wept!
 
I haven't seen anyone who's shat on the EL trophy.

What are you rambling about??
they're fucking liars and the fact that they have to exaggerate and make shit up says it all. i wept at the whistle and partied for 3 days. i'll never forget it and i feel differently about winning things now than i did before. however, it was still a final between two teams in the basement of their league who played hobbits on the way to the final in a diminished competition that's only going to look shittier and shittier with each passing year. we're fortunate to get it in the first year of the new format as it will be worth less and less every year.

fuck off cultists. you won't be missed. talk about wanting my tottenham back. i've never experienced a group of fellow supporters turn their guns inward like this crew in my life. it's a sickness. we used to just talk about football
 
dude, i'll say it again, if you think everyone else is the asshole, you're the asshole. why don't you take a break from slagging us all off. you said it already, he's gone. why not bow out gracefully? if he bounces to a big league and wins a big trophy while we bottom out again you can come pound your chest and swing your cock around but this is just getting pathetic. i'm enjoying the meltdown but even i have my limits. it's just sad now and you're making us all look bad by association. log off and go show the world how perfect your support is.

Both Poch and Harry had bad cup exits, but then they also were actually going full throttle in the league week to week and not throwing everything at one of the cups. That's what happens when you're not dedicating all your energy to that one competition.

We went out to Fulham early in Ange's first season in a cup, because we were focused on the league.

Ange's cup run in the Europa had so much to do with it becoming our everything. People need to understand this. It wasn't genius coaching or a winning mentality. The CL also became our everything in that final season under Poch, we just weren't lucky enough to play a really shite side in the final. Cup football is a terrible way to judge managers.

Re “ Cup football is a terrible way to judge managers “ .

Ancelotti has to date won 22 Cups but only 6 League ( including 2 with PSG and Bayern ) .

Cups ( especially Cups in European / World Football) aren’t to be taken for granted; they take some winning.

Also Bill Nic won us seven (7) cups but only one League title ; how would you judge him .

Yeah mate his specialism is the biggest cup in European football which is a little bit different - the champions league stands alone above all other cups.

And his sides aren’t bad in the league either. If he finished 17th at Madrid and won the CL he would be sacked too.

Nice melt.

Are the "cultists" in the room with you right now? Can you show us on the doll where they touched you?

Lol 4 days in Spain, 2 in Bilbao, back for parade and final game on the weekend. Never met anyone who ranted about "cultists". Not one. WTF is wrong is you? :roflmao:
 
I’d forgotten about the fucking Poch diamond, why did you have to remind me! He was obsessed with it even when it was not working for months.

I think an awful lot of people would either be severely disappointed to recall the last 2 season under Poch if he came back, or would be like this ange cult and be feeding off the 'vibes' whilst ignoring the reality. There was the diamond, no subs until the 86th minute, waiting months before giving a signing a game saying he was "not ready", tell us all he was 'berry habby' with the performances after watching us capitulate, telling the media the squad wasn't good enough to win anything etc. he had one trick and it got sussed out eventually. It's more 'fresh' for me cos I stopped posting on here around the time other teams figured him out.

If there's one positive I can say about ange, his complete obliviousness about the reality of his tactics showed that winning a cup is 90% telling them they can do it, and 10% talent. Probably why we didn't score a single goal in a cup final under poch
 
No. But then that has nothing at all to do with what SausageVince SausageVince posited - which is literally being played out on my spurs chat right now as all the teenagers are starting to realise Ange is almost certainly going and can't understand it.

Like I said - do you know actual real people?
What a stupid thing to say!

I have three children and several Spurs supporting friends and not one thinks we should keep Ange because they can see the downward trajectory we’ve been on the last 18 months and they all realise that the trophy doesn’t unlock some cheat code that makes us unbeatable going forward. They all think if Ange stays he’ll be gone by Christmas and we’ll be scrabbling around for a manager mid season and that always goes well doesn’t it?! 🙄

There’s a reason children don’t make important decisions and are classed as minors until the age of 18 and are guided by their parents, so yes it’s a stupid analogy!
 
The top 4 is really a top 2-3, then 3-8 now. And CL is top 5. No reason we shouldn't aim for CL in the league finish.

Only if Ange is gone of course. He's shown no ability to sustain winning in this league outside of the first 10 games.

The Poch era shattered when a transfer embargo was imposed upon him by his chairman, not a second before and not a second after.

We didn’t win away for a year too of course. But he did have to play winks and fucking sissoko in midfield. Squad was on its arse and it was amazing it managed to get itself to a champions league final.

I was one who wanted Poch gone that next season but it was less to do with what was on the pitch.

It’s your opinion.

Cups matter ; like I said Bill Nic won seven for us ( with one League title ) .

Cups ; especially for a Club who hadn’t won anything in 17 years and who won their second of two League titles sixty-five years ago ; matter a lot to many of us . What’s wrong with that .

I apologise. I guess I must have somehow missed all of those kids thinking that because I've not met a single one who does think that before or after the Final.

Which doesn't mean they don't exist of course. Just that I somehow missed it in 7 straight days of being amongst tens of thousands of Spurs fans.

The adults are very much split of course. But I didn't meet a single kid under 20 who wasn't Ange In after that trophy. But you're right - no decision should be made on that basis. (and won't be)

and i didn't say shit for a week either. you think you're going to run into a bunch of ange out talk while we're partying? again, the first post after the whistle here was one of you cunts rubbing our noses in it saying, "where the ange outers now?" since the beginning you lot are the fucking problem here blasting anyone who points out the problems as secret gooners and incels and vermin and anyting else you can pull out of your ass to attack and deflect. you're a miserable embarrassment and i'll party again when you and the fat cunt fuck off for good.

Sissoko gets unfair stick - he was excellent that season, and was rarely ever played in that position in prior seasons. Spent his first few being forced to be out on the wing when he didn't have the skill set for it.

Winks was just some kind of weird Poch pet. As per my other post, if he'd have said yes to Maddison or Tielemens then that midfield might have actually worked
