Near enough a point a game. That's a relegation fight. Not one decent performance against one decent team.
I was at 7 of those matches, the 0-3 at Brighton was like watching something from 2004 in Glenn's very similar complete meltdown. The 0-1 v Barcodes and 1-1 v Blades was like the worst of AVB. We weren't "done" out of any points in any of those 24 matches. In fact we were very lucky to get anything at home to Leicester, home to Goons.
If we hadn't had that crazy and exhilarating run to the CL Final then that end of season PL would have been seen for what it was - appalling.
That's over half a season's worth of terrible football. A million miles from peak-Poch.
It's an old Heineken ad tied in to the Champions League.
We questioned what Jose's style of play would do to Kane, and again I will hold my hands up, I thought it was time for Kane to move on. I thought if a Manchester United came in, he should go.
What a load of BS.
Here is your conundrum: You love Spurs but you hate Mourinho.
You are miserable now because you cannot enjoy the high that is going through the club atm but the moment Spurs lose you will be here mouthing off your misery because Spurs lost.
Ask yourself which do you want more: Spurs to rise to the top and win titles or Mourinho to fail?
You certainly can't have both (a.k.a you conundrum) but your answer will tell you whether you love Spurs more or hate JM more. If you hate Mou more, time to get another club. But if you love Spurs more, then get to know JM for yourself rather than taking on the media's toxicity towards JM. Only then will you stop being miserable.
What we're doing now is infinitely more entertaining than having 85% posession and losing at home to Newcastle without having a shot on target. That's where we were. It wasn't isolated. We became easy to play against. To me. it's not even debateable. We became awful. Passing for passing sake. Keep passing and maybe a gap will open. That was it. It was awful. You can't live in 2016, by the 2nd half of 18/19 season the football, bar a few CL games, had deteriorated rapidly.
That was his first proper job and no one in their right mind would have turned down the roubles on offer at Chelsea.
Last summer, I said a big club would tell Eriksen to F off or rot. I wouldn't have let him kick a ball for Spurs after he said he wanted to leave and wouldn't sign a new contract. Poch didn't have the balls for that. I suspect off camera, Mourinho told him to go. Possibly even sold the idea of Inter to him from his own experience there. Now he's ostricised Dele and Rose. Big club mentality.
The only boring games, truly boring games, I've seen since he came was against Everton. Twice. Won one lost one. Both horrid to watch. Oddly we won one with limited players and fitness didn't we?
Leicester won the league with about 3 touches of the ball all season.
I reckon if we'd gone out of the CL to City, which a 95th Minute VAR decision aside, we would have done, then he'd have been lucky to start the 19/20 season.
And I doubt very much he'd have made it to November if the CL final wasn't on everyone's minds.
I'd actually like to see Poch go to a money club. It will tell us ince and for all whether Levy was tight or whether, as I suspect, Poch is a shit scout and can't manage 25 players.
Yeah, bang on.Look at this bollocks..
Instead of saying they were wrong. Instead of admitting the modern manager style is a flash in the pan that'll be forgotten about in a few years time, they now try to spin it that everyone has some how let Jose back.

Is this the perfect season for Jose Mourinho to win the Premier League title with Tottenham?
In the latest Pitch to Post Review podcast, Dharmesh Sheth and Gerard Brand discuss whether the current climate in the Premier League is perfect for Jose Mourinhos Tottenham, after his turbo-charged parked bus went top of the tablewww.skysports.com
I fucking despise Sky Sports.
The Irish bloke on HITC, although humorous, has utterly murdered the theory Jose was bad at United.
The fact he said "United wanted to replace Jose with Poch and Levy did the opposte, and now whos top of the league" sums it up.
I mean, this bit here, I can feel my piss boiling reading it

I was thinking that lol.We’ve given away the least number of goals, and considering our CBs are our weakness, that’s a huge achievement by Jose.
Doherty v Southampton, Sanchez v United and Dier v Newcastle. Considering 2 of those were total bullshit, our defensive record has been superb so far.I was thinking that lol.
Chuck in the fact of our 9 conceded, 3 are penalties as well. Think 2 of those 3 penalties weren't conceded by the CBs either.
I couldn't remember who gave away the United one.Doherty v Southampton, Sanchez v United and Dier v Newcastle. Considering 2 of those were total bullshit, our defensive record has been superb so far.
