That sounds like the actual opposite of anything I've said.
The search suggests in nearly 15,000 posts on here I've never once used the word 'shinned'

this is the only post I made, which is the opposite of what you're saying
"It's actually embarrassing to be cheerleading last season in that way, because we were a scuffed half-shot away from being beaten in a final by the worse man utd team for decades"

My mistake... you said scuffed half-shot, not shinned but close enough so I'm taking the win.
 
And crucially, the managers ideas on how to improve the squad aren’t good enough either.

He’s obsessed with duels when our massive weaknesses is technical ability and passing.
Or maybe frank expected our players to actually be able to do the simple basics of 5 yard passes. I know frank hasnt been good enough but my god our inability to pass the ball 5-10 yards or more than 3 in a row is a disgrace
 
If there is a Tottenham way of play the club managment itself need to define and implement that first, from top to bottom, incl for youth teams
I think this is right , you also make a great point about the Youth team and it’s something that’s bothered me for a while now, as a club I’d like to see us stop the punts on Players like Tel ( no disrespect to him personally) however I use him as an example of blocking the pathway for MM.
Also seeing players like Scarlett Rot on the bench , I think this far into the season if you are having a player on the bench then at least reward them with a little cameo now and again.
As a club of course I’d love to see us playing “the Tottenham” way - for me this is Poch last season at the lane , but I’d also like us to be a club that has a clear pathway for academy players , I’d actually be a lot more forgiving and patient with TF is he was using the academy better , let’s get some players in the squad that playing for Tottenham is everything to them and not just a pay cheque.
 
Do we know that though?

We are talking of a club who over the last decade have hired managers from Nuno and Mourinho, to Anges gung ho..

The Tottenham way under ENIC IS speculative, value based purchases and loans, in the hope that something sticks and a few players somehow turn out to be half decent

Our revenue is close to City, Liverpool, Goons etc but when do you see them scrambling for late window loans? We are a shambles. The club needs to be torched from the top down

Think he really needs to speak less about the fans, honestly. It's getting worse the more he tries.

I’d happily tell him that not only do I no longer do my thousand mile round trip to watch us, I hardly watch us on telly now. And it’s his fucking fault. Not felt like this in over 40 years as a supporter. I’d happily tell him that he should be getting a great deal more out of these, granted, flawed, players. I’d happily advise him that he needs to stop digging out the fans and get on with his fucking job. I’d let him know that he’s getting away with a lot more than his predecessor did when engaging with the fans, although fuck knows why.

And I’d kindly suggest that he fucks off from the club, then fucks off a bit further and continues to fuck off.

Oh, so not invite Frank for another chat at a later time then....
 
A Chelsea ST holder I know sent me her New year greetings this morning. She also went on to say she's heard that we've been holding secretive talks with Enza Maresca over the past few weeks. 😂 .
There's probably nothing in it. But she seems absolutely convinced lol

No number of chats would tease a personality out of the man. He’s just got nothing to him.

None of the intensity of Fergie, Pep, Klopp. None of the weird eccentricity of Wenger or Artera. None of the will of Conte or Mourinho. Can’t even do the hand holding, arm round the shoulder of Ancelotti or Zidane.

Just a beige wet blanket.
 
It's funny how the people pissing their pants about personal abuse of Ange, even as he had to be restrained as he gave our own away fans verbals, are more than happy to indulge when it's someone else.

Yeah he's not doing well, yeah he's probably in above his head, yeah we should probably sack him but the vitriol and personal abuse stinks.

Do you have an issue with reality or something? It was a scuffed half shot. Are we at the level of delusion where you're somehow morally superior for pretending that it was something else? It isn't a criticism - it's what happened.

Not sure you have any kind of high ground here anyway, stretching like Reid Richards to suggest I've criticised Johnson, when youre contribution to the Johnson thread is no where near even grateful or complimentary.
