So you have no idea about football, or the many different ways to play it.

It's all about your interpretation of how it should be played... So you haven't got a single clue what you are talking about.

Once again, it takes time and patience to implement a style of football.

Especially when the only functioning part of the squad is the defence.

I only call people like you thick... because well, you're just a clueless thick idiot.

I just told you, maybe you should learn to read, friend. I have a pretty good idea about football, but thank you for your assumption. I can talk about it like a rational person, unlike you, with the big school bully energy. Everything okay at home babe?

What is our style of football now, oh wise one?

So the great Frank brought in 6 players and none of them function in the team? That's an interesting insight into our tactical genius of a coach. Jeez.

You don't say anything, you just call people idiots. Like nothing you say at all has any substance, but you feel the need to lash out at everyone else.

You're a small man.

He is one of the best players in his position in the world and, if anything, seems to be getting better. Can we say that for any of our record breaking buys? Nope. Nothing even close.

As a return on investment it's been 100 million well spent.

Obviously scum have made plenty of shit purchases and we've made plenty of good ones but at the top end we've always seemed to miss which is frustrating.

They bought him to play single pivot 6, then discovered he’s not good enough to do that most of the time. He’s not the playmaking 8 either, that’s Odegard (who, along with Saliba and Gabriel were their best buys). Rice is a decent jack of a few things, master of none - except corners - that slots into that set up quite well. But they did massively over pay for his skill set.

That Spurs supporters should demand huge investment in the team over the next 3-4 transfer windows to build a team capable of winning the top trophies.

Spurs supporters should definitely not make excuses for not spending big.

We've had enough of that shit and we need to send it down with Levy.

Big money on big players.

Accept nothing less.

Not multiple windows.

So moving goal posts.

I’m so glad that you, man on internet, has decided Woolwich overpaid for their 2x PL team of the season 1x CL team of the season and 1x club player of the season player who is internationally recognised as one of the best box to box types in the world, and widely viewed as being their current top performing player this season (again).

Thank god we cleared that up BC. It couldn’t be that you have an agenda here with the player you’ve previously pretended has a similar skill-set to Kamara of Villa. No siree. Not that. We couldn’t have you just say “I was wrong” here. We’ll ignore their fans, the media, the experts, the coaches, his fellow players and every human being with eyes and continue to pretend he’s a glorified Gareth Barry.

Haven't met a scum fan who isn't happy with the bloke at half the price. They moan about Odour Guard all the time (which I find odd but whatevs) - but Rice is just loved. And it's obvious why - unless you choose not to see it.

You're right, I was wrong about Rice, I never realised he was good at corners.

There's a slow starts and there's this. This is the worst football I've ever seen. 4 through balls attempted in the league this season, 4. That's a massive tactical flaw that has to be addressed.

You have stats telling us, this is broken, it's getting worse, hold on tight. And then there's this blind optimism with ifs but and maybes. Again, if there were any green shoots, I wouldn't be bothered, but this is just ridiculous, and how so many accept this is crazy.

Glasner and Iraola didn't play the worst football ever seen, they didn't have 100's of millions to spend either. Frank's rookie replacement, who lost their captain, keeper, and virtually all of their goals are clicking into gear, playing better football than us and getting results left, right and center. There is absolutely nothing to suggest things will improve, especially as we're going to the other way.

Unless we see actual, tangible change, our slide down the table will continue and this season will be a goner, then we have to go through another preseason, transfer window, to inevitably sack him and this squad is a Frankenstein's monster of different systems.

And with all due respect to Frank's this is Tottenham, not Brondby or Brentford, the standards and expectations should be much higher.

There is no way in hell you watched any of Glassner or Iraola's first 10 games in charge of their teams -

I'd be willing to bet 10 billion quid you couldn't give me a single paragraph assessment of their playing style in their opening 10 games for their respective clubs.

lol

I can't believe that I'll have to explain this to a grown adult, but here we go.

Tel was brought in to cover LW and ST, short term. We didn't own him, we bought him after the loan, obviously as a Son replacement because we didn't buy another. We didn't own him, so we bought him.

Muani arrived fit and was supposed to replace the injured Dom and give depth. No, they didn't look into their crystal ball and see he'd get injured as well.

If I'm a top level troll, you're a top level jester.

You are not a top level troll. You are even shit at that.

Tel and Son both played in the end of last season. Between two seasons Son left. Without anyone coming other way. We tried to add winger (Savinho) but were not successful with it.

Yes, Muani arrived fit. But has been unavailable most of the season. So the initial bullshit statement that injuries are irrelevant cause everyone have been replaced is total horseshit. Crystal ball or not.
