I think he is handling the media superbly, both pre and post match.
He doesn't get involved with the narrative, defends referee's and doesn't get too excited with a win or too disappointed with a loss.
To me he has more maturity than any manager that we have had since Burkinshaw.
No doubt he will have his own thought and actions with Bissouma, but i think he may have had enough with the reckless and unnecessary challenges that will cost us dear especially with the ACN coming up and the lack of midfield cover that we currently have.
Add to that the busy Christmas period coming up and it's put the club is a bad position.
Bissouma should be fined and told by Ange that he is not untouchable regarding a starting position.
I am pissed off with the lack of discipline from him and Romero, as at the end of the day they are both professional in their sport and understand the consequences of their actions.
Yeh , it’s gone past a joke now , VAR
Really enjoyed the game. Thought Ben Davies looked really smooth and confident. Udogie outstanding as was Kulu. Feel bad for Johnson but still not particularly impressed by him. Romero excellent. Vicario great showman...whole performance thoroughly enjoyable. Ange is performing miracles. Good goal. Stunning cross by the masked avenger. Well headed by Richarlison but I'd still like to see him more involved in the game as a whole. Altogether, really satisfying.
It's also very interesting to hear the difference between the punditry here and home. Lee Dixon over here. Very praiseworthy of Spurs all the way through. Nice anti var rant. And a very fair assessment of the game. You'd never believe he was at Woolwich all those years! Tim Howard also very good analysis.

Yes he shows total respect for refs, more than any other manager. His reward, Michael Oliver books him for leaving his technical area. He needs to make a point about our players being fouled,badly and no action taken.
Although Spurs deserved the win it was a hard-fought win and if Forest had gotten away with a point it would not have been totally undeserved either, because they (Forest) created a few big chances and played much better against Spurs than West Ham and (they'll never score 2 luckier goals in a game ever) and Wolves.
How Son got a yellow for diving when he should have had a penalty for holding and Yates got away with "waving" 2 yellow cards to the ref - which, according to rules, should have resulted in 2 yellows for Yates (who got away with reckless tackles all thru the game).
England used to be known for having the some of best (and fairest) refs. but not anymore. I don't think it's conspiracy anymore to think that some refs have an agenda against Spurs (and some other teams)
Forest did not get a booking until the 82nd minute (ok, Romero did get away with a yellow)

He did more or less. Used lots of words like resillience.
Also made oblique references to the shit refs and what the other teams are doing is making the team tighter together.
It’s not the technology it’s the people using it.
They refuse to apply the laws consistently.
If this was Romero would anyone defend it saying he got the ball?
I don’t think it’s a red card or any stupidity like that but they would look at it like one if it’s Romero:

Stuart Pearce was one of my favourite non-Spurs players, and I didn't change my opinion even when he went to the Spammers.Stuart Pearce described it has the worst he's ever seen......FFS! Pearce its not even close to what you did during your career.
I have now!!
And that idiot ref gave the free kick the other way ! WTF
Note. Everton cruising v Burnley atm would be on 2 26 points if 10 wasn’t deducted. For all the shite they had at start of season recovered very well. In qtrs of league cup with home tie. Hdf has dyche managed that with their general shite football?15th today and we play Everton on 23rd and that’s 10 days?
Will be a big test especially set pieces.
We should refer to copper the Ange quote a few weeks back about “would like to play more attractive attacking football”. Just fucking do it!
Lazy coaches just like the dinos we have had. I mean what fuckimg FA badge do you need to tell someone to have towel on the touch line and throw the ball as far as you can? I bet they have a throw in coach job for the mates.
It’s harder and takes more work to install attacking passing possecion based football.
It’s a joke. The other week was t there a pen given for a shirt pull on Harland by chavs long curly haired bloke. Not seen many given since or even before. Descent is the same exactly what is the definition and threshold before refs give a card?
Injury time may not count?
Anyway stupid rule as it just means someone has to keep track of all that shit when they have lots of other stuff to do already.
Johnson prbly didn’t fancy it whilst he was on the pitch. Didn’t look to beat his man at all. His played ok some games when the team has played but he hasn’t shown nowhere near enough for the outlay. He needs to be looking to run at and take on FB more like Son tries.
