Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace Sunday 11th May 2.15pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We're getting out gunned by fucking Crystal Palace nowadays ! How the fuck has it come to this ?

Well , we all know the deep root of the problem and that ain't changing any time soon

Who has any confidence Levy will get us the "proper " coach we so desperately need when the inevitable happens and Ange receives his P45 ?
I fear Levy is now in a mindset where the cost of necessary transfer funds added to a large overall salary increase exposure is a risk he will not take . 250 million to rebuild the massively under strength squad , 80 million annual salary increase to make us competitive, all this with no guarantee of the Champions League he is going to hunker down instead . Even if we get CL next season he is not spending that much, he will trouser next seasons windfall for some real estate project imho.

We are not being competitive anytime soon , but hey we will always have 1961
 
So are we though

It's gonna be a contest to see who is less shit
The manager and players will give it their all, see how they fight for every ball like they're possessed. Daniel will guarantee them a sweet bonus should they win, so for sure they'll go ABCD. Plus they think it'll save their asses & reps and that all will be forgiven.

Disgraceful cunts the lot of them.
 
Comment from a Palace fan on the Grauniad.

"We may or we may not win the FA Cup next weekend. But the excitement of possibly qualifying for the Europa Leagues is tarnished by having taken 10 points off this year’s finalists.
Can’t be much of a competition if this dross is capable of reaching the final."

😅😅😅
Gotta get their laughs in where they can. Only the 2nd time they've ever finished above us and United, innit? They'll be back in the Championship soon enough.
 
is it just the absence of paraticci? was he the football grown up and we just winged it while he was away?
They let Munn a man who looks like he couldn't finish his dinner dismantle the medical department and then fire long standing personell. Then Davis who actually looks like a half competent coach went . Paratici I suspect ( having perpetratorated a few would at least have spotted a fraud) They were taken in by a man who wandered into his first elite level job without an established back room, instead he seems to have assembled a staff on their capacity to recite limericks after 20 boilermakers down at the ANZAC club.

It was a major red flag that I did highlight, but it looks increasingly unprecedented. That's just not how elite coaches work in football.
 
No, only since frankfurt.

And he mid-blocked a handful of times in the prem.

Vast majority has been shapeless, gung-ho shit.
There is a shape, it's just a bad shape.
High line, full backs far up the pitch or defending narrow ... either way leaving an ocean of space for anyone to attack down the flanks, which they do.
Ball in behind where a full back should be, cross, goal for an arriving opponent ... how many times have we conceded exactly that same fucking goal in the last 2 seasons?

Ohh I'd say hmmm lemme think, if I had to guess I'd say about 20times or over? I mean it's just a guess this season...
 
Absolutely shocking today, we were absolutely awful and made Palace look like prime Barcelona. The tactics were appalling, the full backs kept getting caught up the pitch and Munoz was having an absolute field day.

Ange hasn't got a clue, this was a game where it would have been good to try and go into big match against Man Utd with some kind of momentum. Yes injuries are an issue, but Palace didn't seem to have a problem fielding pretty much their strongest side.

In all my years of supporting Spurs, today was up there with being one of the lowest, the players on were set up by Ange just didn't look interested. Poor Archie Gray had a nightmare in that 2nd half but tbh so did some of the others.

The front three whether it be the ones who started and finished all looked so weak and got bullied.

I remember the days when Palace would turn up at our stadium getting trounced, instead we have given them their first win in 10 I think without even having to break a swear. Fucking disgraceful.
