Some stirrings in the last 10 mins vs Watford and while clutching at straws has become second nature I would like to clutch once more. First 15 will be telling.

In eastenders?Can Sess and Lo Celso get a cameo please?
Peter O'Hanra-Hanrahan here:Jonathan Veal.... Sounds like a character from Brass Eye.
Always liked him as a player even if he was a bit on slight side. Nice touch THFC.
Probably be benched in favour of Eriksen. Or dropped from the squad for some really weird reason that makes sense only on planet Poch.
The UCl run papered over the cracks mate. It was luck. We have one of the worst forms in the league this calender year. Worse than the likes of West Ham.. WEST HAM. We've got pumped 7-2 at home, 3-0 to Brighton.. come on man, take of those tinted glasses.. I don't want our club to be in this situation, no spurs fan does. So somethings gotta change. It's do or die for Poch here at Tottenham Hotspur football club, not do or die for his career..
If he is serious about deputising for Lloris, he's got to be able to throw one into his own net every fourth game or so.

Yea, did we get to top 4 based on that? Or did we get to CL thanks to the buffer we had earned in 2018?!?
In 2019 part we got 8 wins 2 draws 8 losses that puts us to 26 points from 18 games. So 1,4 ppg that gives 55 pts per season. That would have given us super close 7th place with Everton at 54 pts and 8th place. If you take January out of the equation, corresponding numbers would have been 14 games 5 wins, 2 draws, 7 losses. So 1,2 ppg and around 46 points and we would have been 12th. So, please come again with this "qualifying to top 4 within last 10 months" thing.
About CL - we all surely enjoyed our run but would you (or anyone else) expect to replicate such thing under same / current circumstances?
Replace Lo Celso with Lamela and we are talking!
Lo Celso won't start in game like this when he has been away for such a long time, and Coco was one of very few players who actually was fighting against Watford over the weekend. So clearly someone who at least cares.
Source? Just getting home and had wild ambitions that 3 new signings might be in the team. True, I'm a Gnome and shovel unicorn sh*t for a living but I score 5 on the rainbow chart.Apparently Sess is out for at least several more weeks, so no.
Sky News quoted on some other site this morning.
Hear, hear. Can we unanimously agree that the words "CL final" can only be used in the context of "good cup run" please? I'm utterly f*cking sick of hearing about us losing a cup final as some justification for some other unrelated argument. Not slagging the achievement to get there but is that going to be Poch's epitaph with us?
"Nearly won something" He's been better than that.
If you say something as stupid as this again I will lamp you, oh wait.
Can Sess and Lo Celso get a cameo please?
Yes, league form has been bad since January, but what is the cause? Is Poch no longer up to it? Or are there factors that were largely out of his control? The squad is getting old together and some of our best players want to leave. He knew this last year, but is it his fault that the club didn't or couldn't get replacements in of sufficient quality? It is clearly hard to replace players as good as Dembele, Eriksen, Alderweireld, Wanyama, players who have all to some extent checked out.
Whoever is in charge we face a rebuild and we will have to be patient. Ndombele and Lo Celso are good signings and it will take time to add to that.
Poch isn't the problem, yes he's made mistakes, but he's still the best manager we've had in a generation. I just think talk of 'do or die' is silly. We need patience not panic.
Prior to a ritual stoning? Let's hope not - we definitely don't want a beach ball incident tonight..
[Edit]: Apologies. Watching the Life Of Brian again and nothing makes much sense anymore.
Completely agree but the question is whether he is the man to turn it around.
