It was basically when you’re losing on football manager and you’re absolutely fuming and desperate and out of ideas and you just throw on a bunch of strikers because more forwards = more goals, right?

Lost any semblance of control or stability. Immediately one pass and Bournemouth bypassed our midfield entirely.

We got fucking battered the last 20 mins of this game. We are incredibly lucky that Bournemouth brought their clown shoes as easily a clinical side bag another 3 or 4 during this time. And if they do score a couple I could have seen us folding even worse.

Almost couldn’t believe what I was seeing as it was constant errors and constant playing through us at ease. Team fell apart completely.

Bournemouth should be disappointed they didn't twat us for 3, 4, or even 5 last night.

Only one side looked like scoring in the second half, and it wasn't the supposed big club with a gung ho attitude.

For all of our neglect of the defensive side of things, we're still absolute turgid trash going forward. The statistics will tell you that we had a lot of the ball but I can't for the life of me recall anything we bloody did with it, the entire second half just seemed to be wave after wave of Bournemouth attack.

If I could muster any enthusiasm for this side anymore then I'd have been so angry watching it, however the familiar feeling of apathy and resignation has long since set in and it feels like just a matter of time until we pull the trigger, no doubt that will be dragged out weeks longer than it should, we'll probably then have the same old nonsense having to wait until the summer to announce a new manager, and even then we will make that process look like rocket science and likely end up tripping over our own dick...

Ange the other week said he didn’t want to control games and then yday he’s saying we need to better at controlling games. Guy is just making shit up as he goes a long.
I think all the praise he got from the media after first 10 games last season and being on itv euro panel has got to his head. He has big support in the media. I think we have got some thing like 23 points from last 60 odd. If that Nuno the media tv, radio and press would be slaughtering him and leading the Nuno out campaign. This guy seems to get a free hit.

he is waffling along and poor guy - people remembers what he said.

He's all over the place - player selection, tactic, PLan-C,
He's being found out every week/loss

Our squad is mid. Our only great player is 32yo and no longer a great player. AngeBall is naive, when teams play to stop it they tend to beat us, when they play their own game it gives us a chance. Feel bad for him atm with the cb's out to be fair.

Despite my 'reservations' about the big fella, I do feel bad for Ange. That Spurs manager gig is a big slice of poop pie served with a side of hobo vomit. Yeah the paycheck is juicy but is it really worth it considering all them frustrations that come with it?

I genuinely believe him when he says he wants to win and works hard towards that goal, I really do. But, as many before him...and many others once he's gone...he's just in the worst position at the club. Above him he's got a cunt chairman who just won't give him the tools he needs, and under him he's got bang average coaches (except maybe Matt Wells) and, mainly, shocking players with no dog in them.

How the fuck is he supposed to succeed? We're literally sending him to face tanks with a cottonbud.

Once he gets the boot, I just hope he has a Conte moment. But then again there'll always be Shadies & Fixxies to do Daddy Dan's bidding.

the time to pull it is after the chelsea game. personally id rather see it done now and give the chelsea game to mason, we arent winning it with ange, its gone real toxic. mason gives us a slim chance, then he needs to go too and we need a proper manager in with his own fucking team, not a bunch of coaches just patched together like some fucking pub side.

gives mason a chance to go and get a job elsewhere if he can somehow get a result anyway, maybe a team in league 2 are looking for an assistant. this club needs a staff shakeup and some professionalism, no more charity handouts.

Let's get serious for one moment, my Doomy chum.

Do you genuinely think that another manager, be it Iraola, Poch, whoever the fuck we appoint next...will do that much better under that ownership and with that squad or similar caliber of players?

Levy ain't all of a sudden gonna proper back his coach. We're still gonna cheap out.

Why do Woolwich, City, Liverpool, Chelsea, even United always win stuff? It ain't cause they're richer or spend more. Before anything else, it's cause those clubs are obsessed with winning, it's embedded so deep within their culture, philosophy, from top to bottom. They live and breathe winning.

So say Ange is out by Xmas and you get your wish. You really that hopeful we gonna become world beaters with a new jeffe?

For all those who think it's fine to call Ange a fat cunt should watch the post match interview. Despite losing a match of football, HE'S A HUMAN BEING.

If losing a game of football means you react like this then, you really need to step away from football, because you aren't right, mentally.

The name calling and fat shaming wasn't right, of course it wasn't.

But...it was a minority of fans, as always.

And it ain't even aimed at the right person...Ange is a pawn and one that's going into the ring with one arm taped behind his back. He ain't this football club's No 1 problem.

Mainly, fans are entitled to voice their discontent, especially when the players - whose wages are by paid by the fans - don't give 100%. Spurs fans also pay the highest prices around...we support a club that's sick rich, where the chairman is paid a mental wage on top of the regular bonuses he allows himself...a club that has won squat of note for donkey's years, that's become a running joke for the media and football fans around the globe. Spurs fans are bloody entitled to have a moan and do so loudly and publicly. Heck, we defo don't go far enough if you ask me. Nowhere near enough to get rid of that cancer that's been hurting the club so badly over the past 25 years.

You can't stand the hest, get out the kitchen.

How big (toxic?) does it need to get to push that evil dwarf out of our club?

I know I know the sarcastic kings...4bn quid is how big.

But seriously? There has to be a way to provoke/force a change otherwise what's the friggin point?! As fans, it's our club before it is his. We have that power, got to find the best way to use it.

We need a full-on boycott for a few games. Nobody turning up at the ground, nobody buying anything from the club shops, waves of people unfollowing the club on the various social media platforms, protests (peaceful yet vocal ones) outside HQ, fans and famous faces connected to Spurs having a right go at him via the media, launching a petition etc. Go big or go home. And hurt that walking tumor where it hurts most.

Jay I know you know this. Levy is 100% the problem but people need to see that Ange is compounding the problem.Id be fine with the slow methodical overhaul and rebuild but are people still buying that Ange is the man to it?I DO NOT

Right now the squad still salvageable. Sarr, Odebert, Maddison(short term) Solanke ( short term) VDV Udogie, Porro, Bentancur ( short term) Bissouma(short) Vicario, Forster( short term) That's eleven players I think can be a usable core for a competent coach.


BUT I'm almost convinced I don't want Ange and Lange identifying more horrible one dimensional players for this god awful system. I don't want another 30 million Dragusin, another 50 million Johnson, another 40 million Gray,

This is the risk we are running by allowing him to continue in charge. I don't think he would recognise the ability over utility of a Modric or RVV, over run fast arrive when I want. For all this talk of the Spurs way I don't think he'd recognise it if David Ginola bit him on the arse.

you are correct me ol' mucka

We'll never seriously amount to anything with the current owners , it's surely only a handful of looneys left that are yet to recognise/accept that

It's highly likely that whoever we bring in will be in the same position within 18 months

But that doesn't mean we should just stick with someone who is horrendously out of his depth. Do you reckon our squad is so devoid of quality that we should be losing 9 out of our last 13 away games ? Losing to sides like Ipswich , palace and Bournemouth on a regular basis , and well beaten I'd add , last night could genuinely have been 8 or 9 if it wasn't for forster and some horrendous finishing from bournemouth , they humiliated us

No manager is going to win us anything under this ownership , but anyone that thinks what we are currently being served up is even remotely acceptable , give me a call , I've got a creaky bridge to sell you.

We're gonna have to hope for a miracle , Levy actually getting something right for once and finding a manager that makes us more than the some of our parts , right now we are the complete opposite

If you are being repeatedly kicked in the nuts by someone wearing size 12 boots , and you get offered the choice of being kicked by someone who potentially is also wearing size 12 boots but there is a small chance they might be wearing a pair of slippers , are you staying with the current situation or gambling on the hope that it's the slippers ?

Surely Tottenham is no different to any other board and the board members have every right to vote to remove a chairman ? Why is this any different, just because he owns shares. Now if this is correct, doesn’t it mean the rest of the board / shareholders are compromised by their inaction ?

Stepping back from on the field nonsense. How the hell this little twerp built an NFL stadium, with a football facility included, and then managed to take a big shit on the table of the NFL and keep his job is totally beyond me. He saddled £1 billion on THFC when a dedicated football stadium would have been 40-60% cheaper and ended up with 2 games per season for NFL. It’s ridiculous.

He’s so fucking lucky that football is full of money as he’s getting away with his ineptitude by rebranding failure as success.

I would hardly say winning is embedded in the culture of City and Chelsea. Certainly not for anyone who sees history being longer than 20 years.
