Top four last season was a real success, not going to take that away from him, but since then we have got worse. We are not getting top four unless he goes even though we should easily get top four this season given how poor rivals have been.It's not true though is it.
He inherited an absolute shitshow post Jose/Nuno era and got us top 4 after joining mid-season.
We currently sit in 4th place and have as good a chance as any of getting into the top 4 again.
So whilst we have not built on last season, we absolutely are in a better place than we were before he arrived. (Or have you forgotten about the conference league already?)
I had a similar argument with another poster on here.Over simplistic analysis. A lot of our goals come from set pieces, not quality football or a palpable sense of attacking identity ... we also have a hot as shit striker exceeding his xG, most teams don't have this. So yes, we score a solid amount of goals.
We're very boring/conservative to watch & our build-up play is highly predictable and simple which all leads to a very easy to stop team who are also hideous on the eye. Is all of this because of Conte? No, we have a lot of bog standard players too ... but he's definitely partly culpable.
Romero to tackle Conte out of this club
So you must be mad at levy for appointing him & giving him 15m a year? But more likely you are applauding levy giving himself a pay rise.He is not calling out the players he is just doing his impression of Shaggy. He is the most overrated manager we have had and even worse he has got some Spurs fans to believe his shit does not stink.
The fact is Levy and the players have to take some responsibility but the fact is Cunte plays shit football. Look at Seiria A and it is like some miracle that Napoli are playing free flowing football. The fact is Conte may have shithoused his way to a premier league title with Putin’s money but he only had to play one game a week.
Its crazy how the media in that presser was doing everything to undermine Conte and protect Levy. Iv never seen media go so out of their way to protect the ownership of a football club.
We didn't have bottle in 16/17?
Against City in the CL?
Away at Ajax?
Spurs fans or the Tottenham Hotspur supporters group should mount a protest outside FA Headquarters or Premier League HQ about the rotten refereeing Spurs are getting.
They should hold placards and make loads of noise. Sing "You're not fit to referee" or something.
They have had a campaign agaist Tottenham for years, since Arse-nil became Sky's team, where they stick Alan Smith on Spurs games, etc , etc. Remember they sacked Mullery when he questioned a bad call?!
They will destroy any manager Tottenham employ coz Levy is too chicken to take them to task. It's up to the fans to mount a protest.
If those eco-mobs can block traffic and cause chaos, Spurs can do likewise to the FA, the EPL and Sky.
Semi Final 16/17 season bottled it won fuck all
CL was a freak run and we know it against Ajax pressure was off and we went for broke and won fantastic night. Pressure is on in the final we crumble and lose to a Liverpool side who where played like shit also
Core of this side is fucking rotten
You missed the good bits prior to relegation. You missed the good bit in the 80s. You’ve missed at least one ownership change in there.History of Spurs encapsulated.
We were broke.
We got relegated to Second Division.
We won promotion with a 90% of a First Division team.
We spent some money (not a lot, some, for the first time in years) retained First Division status.
Changed Owners.
Invested in Youth Development and marketing, nothing else, made money, changed owners II.
Brought youth through.
Reached CL, made more money.
Made money, invested in assets only.
Failed to make CL, ENIC got pissed off, sacked El Poch.
Hired Tony balony cunt'e, gave him money, gave him budget, gave him wiggle room, he fucked up, blamed everyone else.
I may of missed something, please feel free to add.
this would be the ultimate but it would never happen. hes basically named them without naming them. the players who have been here longest. the players that have been here 2 years or so its not on them, they are fresh they have walked into this spursy culture. when he says about people being selfish hes even digging out kane.If he really had bollocks he would have started naming names.

I hate Levy and knew this is the way it would end. The fact is I am not going to happy clap some arsehole who is damaging my club because he is incapable of doing his actual job.So you must be mad at levy for appointing him & giving him 15m a year? But more likely you are applauding levy giving himself a pay rise.
It's just dawned on me... WE'RE the bad guys aren't we?I imagine he knows he's sacked after this game so he's gone all out attack to try and shift the rhetoric from us being shit because of his awful tactics and team selections to "it's the players/owners".
The reality is that both are true. His tactics have been shambolic. He is arrogant and unbearably stubborn in his approach to games. However, equally, he has a squad full of players who lack character or who simply do not give a fuck and a chairman who is a bumbling buffoon when it comes to footballing decisions and whose sole goal is profit through growth, not on-field success.
I'm glad he said what he said in public because it amps up the pressure on the players and the management for their failings. I hope that them being outed changes something for us moving forwards, but I doubt it.
