Decent effort at trolling

I give it a 7

Definite potential here

Funny how anyone who doesn't join the "everything is rubbish" circle jerk is automatically a troll. I’ve been going to the Lane since before most of you lot knew how to type, so believe me, I'm as Spurs as they come. I’m just not reactive.
It’s actually hilarious that you’d rate a genuine tactical analysis a "7 for trolling" while ignoring that Thomas is literally taking us to the highest highest levels in Europe. If out-thinking the likes of Real Madrid and PSG with half a squad is "trolling," then I hope he keeps doing it.
I get it—you’re emotional because of the league form. But I’d rather have a world-class master tactician who has us feared in Europe than go back to the days of "vibes" and getting battered by mid-table sides. Keep your ratings, I’ll keep my eyes on the Champions League trophy and the inevitable charge for the top four once the injury crisis clears up.
See you on Tuesday for the Newcastle masterclass.

You like calling other people stupid whilst actually typing stupid things, so you might want to introspect on that a bit.

"OMG YOU POINTED OUT WE FINISHED 17TH SO YOU MUST HAVE HATED WINNING A TROPHY"
:goonermong:


The biggest irony is that you and others who laud Ange for winning that trophy are hypocritical. Both of them were at this exact same point a year ago. There's absolutely nothing to prove that Frank couldn't go on to one-up that EL win until we're out of the CL.

If that happens, will you put this much energy into celebrating both of the worse PL managers we've ever had?

I don't like calling anyond and idiot. Just you for hating on our greatest achievement in 30 years... what is really hypocritical is spending 24 weeks telling everyone Frank has more points than Ange at the same point of the season even when he was one or two points better off... now that narrative has been smashed for a few weeks their suddenly at the exact same point..

Nothing to prove Frank can't go on and one up that Europa League... deary me... no gif required for that one... you've let everyone on here know exactly what you are... second word is sandwich...

:dembelelol: this is at least 9.3 for trolling... he'd of got an extra point two if we actually didn't get battered by PSG

Pick a lane. You just said
and now you're posting an article with Conte saying "Newly-appointed Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says he rejected the north London club in the summer because "it wasn't the right time" for him to return.
So you're wrong twice, and you've done it without help. Congrats

Having taken the job, when offered it for a second time, on Conte's terms, why would Conte have said at that point he had turned Levy down in the summer?

Conte was diplomatic at this point.

For obvious reasons.

Everyone reading this knows how it ended with Conte, 18 months later, when he told the truth about Spurs under Levy.

It was "unaseptable"

For the Romero fans.

Listen to what Conte would do with the berk.

Hey I still believe the Danish Dynamo can take us to Champions League glory. 😍


The difference is I'm well aware this a forlorn and probably futile belief and, therefore, I don't start shitfights with posters who just want the guy sacked. Like that's a far more rational take than my insane optimism.

And I certainly don't piss on the greatest thing to happen at Spurs for 40 years. That would just be weird.:D

I don't know. You stopped short of mentioning Ange by stopping at Conte to suit your narrative and agenda. I'm doing the same.

But then I decided not to. Let me tell you then. We employed a tactical masterclass genius who supposedly is also good at making us defensive, too good perhaps that we are shit boring and couldn't score this season. At MW 25 now, we are two places in the table worse, 1 point worse, 12 goal difference worse. Let me attached the table comparison to remind you again.



From 8th to 5th, there was an uptick. It's a fact. But people like you guys chose to downplay it.

From 5th to 17th, that was shit, nobody is denying it. But we won a European trophy, and many were ecstatic. That was definitely an uptick in our club history. It's a fact.

Yet sadly people like you guys chose to downplay it again.

There was no uptick from 8th to 5th.

It was due to an 8-2-0 start and no Europe. It was just 12-4-12 after that even with no Europe.

Ange got found out. He also couldn’t manage 2 competitions as he had to sack the league to focus on the easier competition.

Should we have sacked Ange? Yes.

Should we have sacked Ange to replace him with Frank? No.

The Frank Experiment has failed. We were promised a better league position. We were promised an ability to fight on multiple fronts. We were promised better football. More wins.

He needs to go. We need to make sure relegation isn't a genuine possibility and we need to start building for a better future.

If we don't get something out of the Newcastle game and Frank is sacked, it'll be hard to avoid the conclusion that this was all about hanging on to him until after the transfer window closed.

It's hard to imagine the board expected much out of the Man City and Man Utd games, so it can't be the case that a 1 point return has had much of an impact on their assessment of Frank's long term future.
 
No doubt the uncertainty surrounding Frank is largely down to his contract, and it being no longer possible to qualify for Europe...ie until we get knocked out of the CL.

So to save a few million the show must go on.

I mean it's absolutely fucking tragic how this Club operates.
