Not sure if it has been published; but Amazon are currently filming a documentary following our season. They have had a film crew with the squad since pre season and by the sounds of it we are set to be a completely laughing stock; especially given how the results have gone.

The word is that Poch has been described as a 'David Brent' like character and the players don't really take his 'philosophy' seriously. He is heavy into 'positive thinking', 'mental strength' and 'karma' and often makes the players embark on crazy team building exercises that are right out of an episode of the Office.

Crikey. It goes from bad to worse.

Allegedly the players have to lick a lemon on arrival at the Lodge.
And Harry Kane has taken to looking directly at the camera and raising his eyebrows quizzically. Maybe.

Is this poll a true representation of this board? Or have people just not bothered changing their vote, poch out group are certainly more vocal.

haven’t changed my vote yet but probably will. thing is I don’t even know if it will solve anything. Half our squad are fucked or don’t want to be here, another manager may give us an Ole bounce but our problems run deeper. the defence and I include DM needs a total rebuild.

one thing that maybe better in a post Poch era are the older players. Poch’s tactics rely on high/middle press or did which requires younger players. As our team is getting older a manager more tactically used to older players may work better. Either that or we bring in a load of young players for Poch to mould.

We have 22 points from the last 20 games, so yeah it is relegation form.




You would expect Levy to use some basic powers of foresight when he makes decisions. Were United right to keep Moyes in charge until it was mathematically impossible to finish top 4? Or should they have sacked him long before then and tried to save the season?

Let’s say we need 70 points for top 4. We have 12 from 9 games so we need at least another 58 from the remaining 29 games, which is roughly 19 wins, maybe a couple less if we draw a few. When you consider that we haven’t won an away game since January, I’d say it’s impossible for us to reach that target. Every aspect of the team is a mile off where it needs to be, the players are bored and tired just like the manager and everyone can see it. A new manager with genuine excitement to manage Tottenham could easily light a fire under our squad again. What do we have to lose at this point? The money it would take to sack Poch is less than we’d lose out on by fishing 10th.

Real lost again yesterday and if United sack Ole this week, I think we will see some movement. Levy is waiting as long as he can for someone to buy out Poch’s contract.

Watching MU as we post. OGS is probably going nowhere. MU playing very well and with a lot of energy. Poch won't be going there.

I never gloated to anyone when we were doing well. I judt puffed out my chest and was proud.

Match of the day each week if I wanted, papers read from the back with glee and Skysports always a relatively easy watch.

In the last year it's not even back to old Spurs but whatever it is, it"s now become embarrassing.

Blame is as pointless as it is necessary. I just hope the damage is not lasting.

Oh poor you...how do you manage to leave the house? Are all the bad people pointing and laughing at you when you go out?

White was struck down by God for being too good. I always said golf wasn't good for you. And Cliff actually made his living from a butcher shop on the High St? Makes one look at the modern game with a sense of nostalgia.

I think he's complete lost the plot. Beginning to remind me of Trump.

I know mate, but the frustration is when people make out as if Levy was securing Spurs long term stability as if we didn't or wouldn't have any without his austerity? All premier league teams have long term security, Leeds was a premier league disaster but it isn't a choice between Leeds or Levy is it, looks at Liverpool. Someone asked sarcastically to my post whether I thought we didn't need a new stadium then?? You know what, I preferred another tier all around the old WHL and go again. WHL could have been a southern Anfield. I don't want an NFL stadium. The football team are merely tenants in the new stadium according to THFC Head of Business Strategy McMally (sic), do we all realize that? What does a tenant do? They pay rent on something that isn't theirs so that the owner can use the money for another investment. Is that what we want to be?

Has it really been austere?

Hopefully we can be solid? We need time?

Hope and piss is all that he offers now. Get him out before we play Sheff Utd. He's done well however, his time is up.

He doesn't know how to fix this, it would have been fixed already if that was the case.

Winning a champions league game against a bunch of farmers at home isn't going to change a thing, I am not falling into the trap of "we have turned a corner" like I did against Palace again, it's going to take more than a single win to convince me at this point.
