Think we only lost a few matches when our full back line of Porro, Romero, VDV, and Udogie were fit last season. Ange's problem was the injuries and multiple competitions. We're only in 1 competition now, just need to win a few of the 7 matches remaining. Honestly, I think this is a no-brainer. Oh, and I'm not an Ange cult memeber by any means, was one of the first calling for him to go!

Such a nonsense stat. What about when just one was missing at a time. How often is your entire first choice back line and goalkeeper available at Spurs? Udogie can’t even manage to jog now.

We had losses like Ipswich at HOME with just VDV missing and it won’t get included in that bogus stat. How about our win percentage in the league last season when he didn’t have Maddison, Kulu or Son available, as he wouldn’t right now? I can tell you that just minus Son our PL win % was 12 percent last season. W1 D1 L6. I can cherry pick stats too.

Ange with one game a week and a fully fit squad has a horror show end to his first league season where we only beat Sheffield and Burnley while needing to win to get top four. So we’ve already seen him fail at a similar task with a much more confident, healthy squad and a Son hitting big numbers.

Is he fuck turning this shit around, he couldn’t do it here, he couldn’t do it at Forest, and he’s not doing it here again if plunged in to the current shitshow. Move on.

Yeah but that doesn’t answer the question. Why do YOU feel the need - which it clearly is at this point, given the sheer number of posts, the inability to let anything go, etc - to engage with boring tossers obsessing over an ex-manager? That’s what’s weird.

I mean whatever, do as you like - just don’t act like it’s not peculiar behaviour.

“The weirdos aren’t the weird ones, it’s the one calling out the obsessed freaks who is weird!”

It’s international break, this thread has been flooded by you lot and it is mildly entertaining to point out how stupid some of you are.

Frankly the cultists and Aussie fanboys turned me against this guy from day one, so I think they have the opposite effective they’re aiming for with most people.

Winning absolutely nothing for literally decades is better than winning a European trophy? Ok.

West Ham won a “European trophy” and we laughed at them (along with everyone else) for pretending beating a bunch of third tier clubs and then Fiorentina was remotely brilliant.

I’ll take being one of England’s best teams for years & champions league finals after beating some of the best about over being a slightly glorified West Ham for a season and finishing on 38 points thanks mate.

Guess what? I'll also cherish those memories AND the European Trophy when I'm trudging to Doncaster away if we suffer the relegation you seem not to care about 🤷‍♂️

LOL at “international break” as if this guy hasn’t been putting in 16 hour shifts of negativity in this thread for years. But sure, everyone else is obsessed.

Also loving “mildly entertaining” as if it’s just a casual case of ‘oh yeah, I pop in from time to time for a giggle, but you know, only if the mood takes me’. As opposed to, you know, a deep seated, pathological inability to let anything pass in a thread that could very, very easily be ignored.

Stop acting like this isn’t oddball behaviour please.

Very glad we won the trophy but it didn't have anything to do with him...did you watch the game? One very lucky scrappy goal against a 4th rate utd..
As I said, love the trophy but got to be honest, not proud of our playing...

I did watch the game. I also watched all the previous finals that were lost. I watched Kane, Bale, Alli, etc get pumped 3-0 to be knocked out of Europe by *checks notes* Dinamo fucking Zagreb.

Not giving a Europa League winning manager any credit is silly and childish.

You coming to defend a man who doesn’t know you to the hilt repeatedly on this forum isn’t weird though. A man who no longer manages Tottenham. A man who was last a sacked Forest manager.

I will always argue against the cunt, deluded cultists. Always.

Don' t forget NS Mura in 2021! Under Conte no less.

But let's focus on the fact we didn't play swashbuckling football while WINNING the Europa league final. :D

Imagine going through posts like this mate. It’s genuinely embarrassing for you that you’re dedicating your own time to surgically analysing people’s posts.

Pretty much everyone agrees we will probably go down, so there’s very little debate in the relegation thread. Literally fucking nobody is posting loads though. Such an irrelevant petty point.

Because he deprioritised a shite European competition for the league, which is every decent coaches bread and butter, taking us higher than Postenoclue ever did despite another coach ruining our start to the season. While maintaining a much better overall PL win %.

Ange didn’t win these games against Euro fodder because he’s BRILLIANT it’s because he treated them with huge importance. We won harder European games under Frank because the team treated them as big fixtures organically as its the CL.

Wait, WHAT?!?!?!

I’ve been reliably informed that winning European trophies against dross is piss easy and happens all the time. Surely the only times Tottenham has failed to do so is against the elite, no?

Yeah, it’s easy when you fuck off the league entirely in order to focus on playing AZ Alkmaar, treating each of these as your World Cup final. Most managers don’t do this because they have professional integrity and don’t end up sacked for it.

Fucking Nottingham Forest in the quarters this year of it, fuckers will probably win it. State of the bloody competition is hilarious.

You argued previously that you don’t have to deprioritise the league to beat teams like Bodo, Frankfurt and AZ (even given injury concerns).

So why isn’t there an equal expectation that seemingly elite coaches (with far better squads) can beat Zagreb and NS Mura whilst also achieving high PL finishes?

It literally takes 30 seconds. The search function is excellent on this site. Cheers Admin Admin :thumbup:

Is that what you're doing with your life in here, is it? :D

You really don't need to come in here. We know exactly what you think because you've told us a billion times. I was gone 5 months and came back to find you'd been spending those 5 months in here saying the same thing over and over while we slid towards disaster.

But I would be fascinated to see you post in the Relegation Thread with your analysis of why you got it so badly wrong and instead of flying up the table with the Bad Man gone we have gone backwards. And how we might get out of the mess caused by the choices you championed.

That would be interesting. You should try it.
