Maybe to finish 6th or 7th in the league, but not to win anything

What manager can stop Bissouma giving the ball away in dangerous areas

What manager can do anything with invisible man Bentancur

Who is going to make Kulu run faster, or make Johnson take on defenders

I could go on and on

We dont have one world class player, we don't even have one true leader to fire everyone up when the chips are down

I already feel sorry for whoever comes in next

I don't- I think a creative and inspired coach could make a great team out of our squad.

What we need to do is to STOP relying on a strategy that requires us to have better physical qualities than our opponents. We simply do not spend enough money to buy that top tier of athlete. We're never going to be a team that out purchases other teams. We can be smarter however. We need a strategy that is more than just trying to run better than everyone else.

I guarantee you almost any other manager in the Premiership would be making more out of this team than Ange is at present.

As I said before the minute that prick talked about turning us into a global brand the football ambition died. He wants us to be a global entertainment brand that homes every event and soaks up easy money for just existing. Pumping £300-400 million into a new hotel over spending on that team is borderline taking the piss out of the fans. How anyone tries to justify ENIC and that prick is beyond me, they must be brain dead. Again until we are sold we are fucked to mid table mediocrity at best

I remember when Sugar was selling up, and I stupidly thought things were finally changing until I read that comment from them.

Everything that has been done was solely for profit, I think getting Jol, Rednapp and Poch were probably the spanner in the works, ironically.

It made the fans actually dream again.

But he rolled with it, selling us all this false dream to get WHL ripped down to replace it with an entertainment complex.

Pulling the wool over the sheep’s eye is exactly what he did and it’s shocking so many are still fine with this.

I’ll always support Spurs, but I can’t take them milking this club whilst making us the laughing stock of football.

Humiliated in that second half. No fight or quality whatsoever in a semi final.
Really really bad. Another write off of a season - theres absolutely zero chance of us winning one of the other two cups even with players back.
The performances of our senior pros was diabolical - Son, Biss, Bents were woeful and should be bench players or sold simple as that.
Our midfield was as bad as I have seen ever AGAIN. I am kind of surprised he played those three as well - surely one of three has to be a progressive player? Kulu on the right as well ffs. They aren't up to it.
Ange will be gone in the summer regardless now anyway thats for certain but we are going absolutely nowhere.

Up till yesterday there were supposed Spurs fans saying I had an 'agenda' because I pointed our how fucking spectacularly average Bentancur is, and want him and Bissouma sold. They are both utterly irredeemable. I want them all gone but mostly the poorest coach we have EVER had must go. Worse than Neil and Gross by a long way.

I think our healthy players our bad but many managers would be getting better results than we have. It’s 2-2-8 in the league in the last 12. We aren’t THAT bad.

And Sarr as well. He's too in and out of games, and I'm not convinced he's ever going to become the real deal

It's painful mate it really is. Watching a club you love with such passion getting ripped to bits over businessman chasing their own agenda.

Bill Nic be turning in his grave God rest his soul.

Only thing I think now that could get Levy out is mass walkouts or people boycotting. Even then our fans are too proud or they would just sell our to tourists

We were sold the BIG LIE

1000%.

This was always the goal and people need to wise up to it.

We were always the stepping stone, and like Japanese knotweed, they’re just slowly invading N17 and can’t be stopped anymore.

What game were you watching? we were totally overrun in the first half... not one player could hold onto the ball, everyone was passing it to a red shirt or just losing their 50/50 battles. We were never holding on like that all night.

Given that we were 1 nil up at Anfield;
we seemed to have some sense of defending for the sake of it ( a bit like at Brentford) ; and we weren’t completely sh*+ at it . If we could have held on until half time and done the same in the second half; we’d all be delirious right now .

To repeat: I AM GUTTED; but we set out our stall and it proved not to be good enough.

FWIW ; I’d prefer that to losing the game 1-0 and going out on pens . And I hope the Toon win their first UK Cup
final in seventy years; poor sods , they deserve it .

I actually want us to go out in the next round of both cups we are still in, I can't be arsed to have my hopes built up with another deep run to semi final only for the cunts to shit their pants and not show up again.

Draw a line under another season and be done with it.

I'm happier these days when Spurs aren't playing

I hear ye man - I am glad the 6 nations is on atm! Ever since the draw I never expected to make the final but tonight was worse than I even thought it would be.
For a moment this am I thought we had a chance if we turned up though and as usual - we crumbled again.
