I think Justin Edinburgh and Nethercott were also playing but it was the front five we all went to see
I think we had a six point deduction which Sugar appealed against and won
Some were even backing us to win the title after two straight wins!

Conte first? No way. While I feel very optimistic for the future, Poch was far and away the best EPL coach we’ve had. We had some good times with Jol and Rednapp but Poch was so close to getting us over the line on so many occasions. That 16/17 season was the best I’ve seen a Spurs team in my lifetime. Favourite stat was our home record: 17-2-0. 45 GF vs 9 GA. Ruthless
To think we were a points deduction away from getting relegated.
Poch
Redknapp
Jol
The football was turgid with Graham and ramos despite the cup wins. AVB was dull.
Hoddle for a half against Utd had me believing but let us down.
The rest abysmal.
Livermore and clemence did an excellent job in their only season, with venables as director of football. We had a young team with Anderton joining, barmby breaking through and we played some delightful football second half of the season. Sheringham was lethal up front and ruddock providing some aggression in defence. Got dicked in the cup semi when we didn’t get a stonewall pen and the scum went onto to beat Wednesday in the final. Was a great platform to build on for the next season and then the sugar, venables thing blew up and everything went to shit.

it was good that second half of the season.
Barmby was excellent until his mrs demanded that he moved back up t north so she could continue her affair with Viv Anderson.
Sheringham was scoring week after week both on the pitch and in faces
I didn't know that about Barmby! IIRC, she was a bit older than him. Bloody women (yes I can say that!) - we lost le Tiss because his then wife didn't want to come to London, and that marriage didn't last, either!it was good that second half of the season.

From memory after Sheffield Weds away (4-3) we beat Everton at home (3-2), Klinsmann overhead at the Paxton end?!
But after that we were sussed and turned to complete shit.
Good memories of the Everton game
I was in the Paxton and Klinsnan did his German dive bomber routine near the corner flag and the whole team joined in including Robinson running all the way from the Park Lane end
Great fun
I think it was more how Ossie set the team up.
Most of the Venables defence was still there but weirdly, given where he played, he didn't sort out a decent midfield. He left the Badger some good players though, Popescu and Klinsmann were great signings.

Not sure who would have been in goal but you're about 10 years ahead with Robbo!
Turns out it was 2-1 so I wasn't quite right...

Time for my medication mate
Thought it was Oct 93
Can't imagine any manager overtaking BMJ as my favourite.
I totally get that. The way he conducted himself at Bill Nick's memorial will stay with me forever. The way we let him go is one of the most shameful episodes of our recent history, absolute disgrace IMO.
All I know Nuno sucks and is the worst
For me it goes
1. Poch - the guy was just fantastic.
2. Martin Jol - first season for a long time we actually looked a half decent football team and was just ridiculously unlucky on that final game of the season against the Spammers.
3. Conte - I think he's done brilliant in such a short space of time especially to get us 4th with the uncertainty at he beginning of last season.
4. Redknapp - He could have easily gone 3rd in my list but I wasn't actually his biggest fan despite him undoubtedly having a decent record with us.

Whilst I don't rate those 2 as our 2 best coaches, I totally agree that anyone, absolutely anyone who thinks winning meaningless tin pots is the be all and end all, should have them as their 1 & 2.
Literally any member who has ever said they'd rather win a league cup than finish top 4 should have them as their 1-2
And I bet not one of them has.

I actually think he was swimming around in the same cesspool as AVB and Ramos. Awful football, truly sickening to watch.
I think I was losing interest in football until Martin Jol
I certainly had little interest in spending my limited money on going to games in the Graham and Hoddle era. Santini had me excited as he was doing well with France and Arnseson was signing everyone.
Then the football started. Errrrgh. Ok, perhaps we looked harder to beat than the days where Newcastle and Chelsea were scoring 6 & 7 against us.
After a weird start where we went 3 down to Charlton in Jol's first game, we nearly got a 3-3 out of it. Then the ding dong 4-5 derby after. What a game. I've always maintained, that is one of the greatest games in football history and, given the fact we had fuck all to lose, losing it wasn't awful for once. A boring loss to Villa came (who were a bogey side until then really)
Then we won 5 in the bounce. I don't recall ever winning 5 in a row as a Spurs fan until then.
I wasn't fully back in but I was back to watching the games on TV live rather than being a bit "meh"
The next season was gripping. Fucking Lasagne.
I think I was more gutted when it was becoming obvious Jol was done than when it was obvious Poch was done.
I wonder what would have happened to Jol, Levy, Arsneson etc if we'd have won that last game against Spam and got that CL spot then.
Chelsea had just won their 2nd title so were on the up. We'd have kicked Arse out of the CL for the first time since Wenger arrived and prevented the whole 25 years in a row or whatever it was. City were years away from being formed.
That always feels like the biggest lost opportunity. And nothing will ever convince me it was an accident they all got ill.
