Back to black.....Time now for a three hour run and then later I'm going to watch that godawful Amy Winehouse movie.
Lilywhite Duke completing the masochism hat trick today.
If only we had any youngsters to give minutes too. Our youth system isn’t producing players for us. That’s part of our problem.If we play like today then there is zero points in us being in CL next season. We’ll go out of the group stage and it’ll be a giant waste of time. We’ll get more out of being in Europa league and giving minutes to youngsters.
I’m sure with the 2week gap between games there will be no C*nt offs and all joyful harmony on here.
Too many bad days, tired of the excuses and familiar pattern.Good idea.
Dreadful game. Need to sort out set piece defence and stop being so scared to have a shot on goal. If we end up giving the ball away as a result, so be it. We stand more chance scoring from a quick counter then the endless ponderous passing, which is driving me crazy.
Hopefully just a bad day, we need to get this out our system, and fast.
Hahaha you’re really invested in this Ange thing to work, aren’t you? Why are you deflecting attention from the manager? I thought we were gonna cook next season when Mr. President Levy was gonna back Postecoglou and we’d win the title.Are you Levy/ENIC out as well?
don’t know the answers to be honest mate. Seeing that today, it’s just not a sensible to invest much into this anymore, it’s bloody tragic.Fair enough
The 100% truth, give 'em someone who waffles on about winning and playing the right way etc.Of course he was.
But because his football was atrocious, and because Levy was clever enough to appoint a sweet-talking Ozzie after him (knowing Big A wasn't even first choice btw), the truth got buried.
He'll be picked up for 15 mil and be a starter next year. You can quote me.It was offside, but fuck me Werner you've been crap today.
We can't be signing this guy, even as back-up. Abysmal in front of goal.
Don't bring a machine gun!What's the fucking point. I'm off to the supermarket.
Oh the plus point, we have seen success at the new stadium at least.Someone's forgetting about the most monumental achievement in this clubs proud and varied history
The opening of the F1 go Karting track
The same is true about the fanbase getting enthuastic about a manager who has never managed in a top 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 league in his life getting the chance to manage here.
Fanbase acting surprised that he's out his depth is comedy. What else was expected?
You can count convincing performances on 1 hand this season, which is to be expected by hiring a manager of this quality, but hey, at least he says "mate" and doesn't dig out the ownership eh
So does that mean, once and for all that it's NOT a possession game, and that statistics means fuck all??Spurs had 72 % possession and yet lost 0-4
....so hang on, you watched lunch with your mate?It was either watch the game or lunch with a mate…….
Really glad I chose the later!!!
Might be the fat fraud himself, or maybe Jedinak or Mason, 2 other clowns who've got no business working at this levelHahaha you’re really invested in this Ange thing to work, aren’t you? Why are you deflecting attention from the manager? I thought we were gonna cook next season when Mr. President Levy was gonna back Postecoglou and we’d win the title.
Too bad this game happened.
Watched the gifGood idea.

Doesn't every manager need/want time and actual quality footballers???I like Ange. I think if given time and resources he will do well here. This season has mostly been an improvement over previous ones and he has instilled a very different setup. Teams have adapted to us but at the start of the season we were fun.
I obviously didn't buy in to the bizarre cult of personality that surrounded him with the cringeworthy Aussie fans coming in to tell us he was literally God and that doing it in Scotland and Asia is the same as in England because 'its the same sport' and 'he's won everywhere!' but he's a good coach. He does things I want a Spurs coach to do. He just needs time and actual quality footballers.
