“jealousy of what we are or have been “ ? ? LOL
Exactly why every experienced Spurs fan knew Wham would win last night.
Told you
Relegation was a possibility as soon as we got rid of Ndombele
Been downhill ever since

Not for me, its just quite funny in the same way we sort of hoped Everton might go down and certainly Man U last season.
Surely not. The premier league is the be-all and end-all.
Would be a crazy admission of how important we are to the Skysports business model if they did all that to fit around Spurs
Almost like, the board were reluctant to spend because they thought the club would drop.
Terrible decision one that we have come to expect.
If relegation does happen, as seems increasingly likely, at least it'll open the whole can of worms and expose the putrid mess at boardroom level and above that's been feeding off our football club for years...
I mean, seriously, it'll be front page as well as back page news.
How could a football club ranked the 9th richest on the whole planet be relegated from it's own domestic league. How is such an event possible?
It's never happened anywhere before in the modern era unless due to sanctions or penalties imposed.
There will be documentaries and Panorama-esque investigations and the whole truth will eventually leak out.
Those are the crumbs of comfort I'm taking from the situation we're in.

I'd reckon pretty much every single one of our matches will be televised.
I wouldn't be surprised if a separate TV deal is negotiated for us alone
I actually think the ridiculous number of long term injuries to key players that has been the tipping point. If we had more luck with injuries, a lot of the other failings would have remained papered over. We would never have been league or cup contenders but neither would we be in relegation form either.
There needs to be some formal in depth assessment of our injury rate, medical team and player recovery outcomes. There is something drastically wrong as it transcends managers and affects new players coming in to the club as much as established ones. I wonder if its the pitch itself.
I have felt since mid January that we are going down. Obviously hope I am proved wrong, but nothing since has changed that view. It was that run of injury time defeats to Bournemouth and Spammers and needing a last minute equaliser at Burnley coupled with inaction in transfer market that convinced me that we were doomed. All 3 of those teams were on long winless runs of 10-11 games when we did our Dr Tottenham thing.
I can actually see Leeds going down. Forest and West Ham seem to be getting some results.
If we dont get the new manager bounce then it will be us.

Yet why do I feel more relaxed about our chances than a month ago? Bizarre.
Honestly no idea mate.
When De Zerbi said "you talk too much about tactics, the most important part is the mental part" he as good as said we are down.
Lots of reasons but holding on to Frank for as long as we did was just incomprehensible .
A club our size should never be where we are, and the board have to ask how they have allowed it to happen.
The injuries to key players has been crippling, but in January the actions (inactions) of the CEO and Lange were a disgrace.
7 games but change is imperative, regardless of where we find ourselves.

I said we would probably get relegated when our piece of shit board didnt bring in an attacking player in January and I said we would definitely get relegated after we lost to spammers.
Ive accepted it mentally a while back which has helped me not get so angry when we lose.

Because we’ve all known this squad wasn’t built for the type of football they are being asked to play by the coaches they hired.
At least now there’s a chance that we score enough goals to win games. Nobody expects a miracle cure but it will look like a team at least attempting to be a Spurs team
Do Real Madrid have a similar problem, I think I seen an article saying they have a retractable pitch too and injury frequency has increased
But he also said he’s been having a lot of one on one meetings with individual players, which I think is key. He’s trying to get to know them personally, which I don’t think the other managers did. If he can unlock what each one thinks etc. or even 3/4ers of the group then we will be a better team.
I think I’m relaxed because I knew we’d fall into the bottom three at some stage. Plus I watched the first half of the game last night and both teams were terrible. Us, Leeds, West Ham, Forest. Four shit teams. But hopefully we are the ones who’ve played the final trump card with de Zerbi. Time will tell. Beat Sunderland and then we’ll stay up….and I’ll probably cash out!
