Really, I just don't believe the core of that shit is spurs fans.

That's never been us and never will be.

Trouble making anons on social media.

And quite likely smelly scum and chelscum fans.

Actually, much more likely chelscum fucktards.

Its kids, most probably not even in England, not some 30 year old scum or Chelsea fan lol.

The more attention shit like that gets the more it will happen too.
 
He's got us playing the type of football Poch had us playing when he first geared us up.

Interesting that there are such strong signs of that in such a short period of time.

Very imrpessive.

Their loyalty is quite astonishing and slightly frightening. He was clearly part of the rot RDZ is attempting to cut out. Yes the Europa was nice, im sure Villa fans will enjoy it ..but it wasn't worth this no way.

Nothing says "rot RDZ is attempting to cut out" like "I want Spurs to play like they did under their previous manager" :roflmao:

On the plus side, now we're back to playing proper football maybe you and Twat1882 will be able to sell your Season Tickets on exchange ?

Or maybe - just maybe - you'll start getting along to the ground and actually supporting us in this relegation fight? 🤷‍♂️

Either way we have a proper manager once again. Hopefully we never make the same mistakes we made at the end of last season ever again. :thumbup:

I said months ago that this was one of our biggest issues, particularly when people were digging out Simons. You can be the most creative passer on Earth, but if there's no proper movement ahead of you, you'll look like a lower league plodder.

Movement in the front line moves defenders and opens gaps. Synchronise that, with your own movement used to produce gaps that other players can exploit, and you create opportunities all over. Then your creative players shine.

Muani has been a traffic cone for most of this season. Yesterday, his movement was excellent, it opened gaps. Tel was the same, he was switching sides, using the width on both sides and providing pass outlets in dangerous areas. It's no coincidence that he put in two gorgeous crosses that could have ended with 2 goals, but got us 1.

That was probably the most "complete" performance I've seen from us this season. We got a full 90 minutes plus of committed and balanced Football, with every single player working in sync and leaving it all out there. Not a single one of them should be held to any form of criticism for that performance, we were superb.

Completely agree. And the thing is it's not complicated or overly technical or tactical. It actually makes the game simpler. If there's an option just make the simple pass. But do it with intent and belief and purpose. So much better. So quickly.

You just can’t stop yourself can you.

I really hope he keeps us up because I think we’ve found the right guy. Let him be ruthless in the summer and get rid of the ones that need to go. He’ll not be blinded by players stepping up for 5 or 6 games. Can’t wait to see what he’ll do for us.

It is actually brilliant for him this scenario we are now in. There’s no hiding place for the players. Those who are good at disguising their attitudes and ability with questionable characters will only survive for so long. We are (still) in the shit and he will see who has the balls for it. Keep us up he has 6/7 weeks of evidence for who he should keep in the summer and who is out the door. We need to stay up though don’t we?

You think we wouldn't have got anything from Fulham, Palace and Forest if he was brought in immediately after Frank was sacked?

They even said he was their first choice in the summer. They probably went to him and decided against giving him what he wanted thinking we will be fine with a botch job appointment to escape relegation. They are so fucking inept it's funny.

Maybe DeZerbi didn't want the job in Feb straight after leaving Marseille just like Conte didn't want the job in the summer when Nuno took over

Come on he rarely speaks badly about Spurs. He did a very good job here, we played some fantastic football at times and had some excellent results against most of the big teams at the time

No need to be disrespectful

How is saying I don't think he's a Spurs legend disrespectful?

He did well for us but it all ended badly for him here cos he only cared about self-advancement over the club.

I enjoyed his era but that doesn't mean he's up there with Hoddle and Poch, etc

Posting the words of our current manager? Nope. I love every thing he has to say - mainly because he's right. 🤷‍♂️

And what about your other take; that Romero is our lord and savior?

Since he has been injured we have gone up several levels - like I said at the time he has been a net negative for this squad and it’s no coincidence our morale, effort, and professionalism have improved since he was sidelined.

What a weirdly hostile and off-topic post. Take it to the appropriate thread.
