Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

you seem to support the manager I don't
we are missing 3 of our back 5 (maybe for 2 months or more) our backups are not of the calibre needed to go on that long, the manager has know this all season, so once we lost the back 3 players WHY hasn't he changed the system once he know it would be long term ?
he can't bring in new players till Jan, So he is willing to chance it playing his way for 5/6 games till the window opened
It’s also his fault the 2CBs are out again after risking both v chavs. Also this whole myth about missing the CBs is the main problem. We had both available for most of this season and last season but still lost games.
 
I lived through 1977, and missed just three games home and away that season.

Here and now i am worried, and you can all laugh all you want.

"Too good to go down" was uttered by all in the press, including from Jimmy Hill and Brian Moore to name but two.

I thought one win and we are off again, up the league.

Wolves, Scouse Newcastle, Woolwich, Everton all coming up. Anyone want to bet me we will take more than a point?

This is a more serious situation than many of us think, because I thought the very same way in 1977.
Normally I would say we could get at least 2 points from that run right there, but since we seem to never be able to produce a draw, I'd say there is a very reasonable risk that we only take 1 point from those games.

Pool/Woolwich I am pretty sure we'll lose.
Newcastle I give us a less than 50/50 chance of winning.
Everton are probably a safe draw seeing as they don't score much.
Wolves have banana peel loss written all over them.

Couple all that with a legitimate injury crisis, a team that is losing faith in their managers tactics, and poor in game management from Ange- we really could be absolutely routed in this next run.

I do like our players and believe they have quality, but I would not want to see them have to endure the pressure of a real to life relegation battle- and it would reflect so badly on the club brand I can hardly believe Levy would want to see it either.

Levy really needs to act soon. If he wishes a new manager to be able to make full use of the upcoming transfer window, it needs to happen now.
 
I really wanted to miss this game and was having a great non footballing day with a group of close friends.
I get a call from my sons insisting we should have a family day watching football...then realised they didn't have Prime!
So I blame my missus and sons for putting me through this farce!
 
so real fans are ones who have enough money to afford a season ticket or even get one, live close enough to the ground to be able attend,are physically capable of attending a game, can afford trips to S.Korea, the States or Australia to watch friendlies. What a stupid comment.

Not really.

Let’s say I live in Australia. I like the Spurs Facebook page and watch the occasional game.

Or o watch every Spurs match to the point it encompasses my whole life. It is my whole life purpose.

The word “fan” comes from fanatic.

Which of these two individuals is the real fanatic?

Think as long and hard as you want to.
 
Not read much of this thread but can guess the reaction. Was at a family day yesterday and got home and was going to watch the match when I got home on Prime. Made sure I did not know score and clicked on the match on Prime and they had Nuno’s after match interview with the score clearly shown. More pissed we lost than ruined watching the match without knowing the result. Unbelievably the match was not available and so watched it on line.
After scoring so many goals recently we never looked like scoring but despite the goal against being because of the high line, defensively we were better. Think it was as much to do with the way Forest play than us changing.
Losing 2 more players was bad. Son & Kula looked jaded but thought Johnson got stuck in more than usual possibly because he considered he is no longer a definite starter.
Still prepared to keep Ange but this was another nail in his coffin.
