    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    I've probably been the most vocal in this thread on saying Ange normalised losing. To be clear, I don't believe he is a major reason of why we are where we are. There are so many factors involved, IMO, most of which come back to the tinkle poor way that we've been run. For me, the majority of the...

    Social change / growing old

    Not sure if this is in any way contributing to the conversation or just a braindump from me... I remember two incidents from when I played as a kid. First one was when 17 of us showed up to a pre season friendly game at under 12. I was a 'keeper at the time but they'd brought in another lad...

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    Haha why? Lots of fans have come to conclusions on the source of our injuries and most of us have never set foot inside the treatment room.

    OMT - Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur

    @Daisuk has more responsibility for our plight than the Lewis family, Vinai, Lange, Ange, Frank and the players put together. An absolute abomination. First this then not a badger, Tom Jones, Jeff Goldblum or a custard covered badger in sight. Turn out the lights, we're done.

    OMT - Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur

    A win would be massive for us, a draw would be a super result. I'll be tinkled off and a nervous wreck if we lose but I'd be okay with it as long as we see a good performance that gives hope for the games ahead. I didn't see that last Sunday. This isn't must-win, Palace absolutely is regardless...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    With injuries, I accept we were never going to be top half of the table once Christmas and January were done. I don't accept we weren't good enough to finish in a far more respectable position than 17th even while giving priority to the Europa League.

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    When I say he lowered standards, I don't mean it was an intentional thing or something Ange did knowing the risk. IMO, it was a by-product of being so laser focused on winning the EL. I've never seen any team bin off the league like we did to win a cup so what that was going to mean longer term...

    Micky van de Ven

    There's a narrative building against VdV and sadly, some of our fans are buying it. Some of the headlines on that this week have been disgraceful. I've seen several pundits having a pop at VdV. I've seen a headline on Talksport where it says McCoist hammered VdV and during the conversation he...

    Season Ticket Renewal Talk

    We're only £2 more expensive per ticket than the Dippers. Given we're based in London and they're in the Third World, I'm surprised it's that little.

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Yeah, fair enough mate. I disagree on some of your conclusions or assumptions but can see the logic in your argument and I'm making some assumptions too which I'm sure you and others will disagree with. Ange's is certainly a very complicated and polarising legacy. Good discussion and some very...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    I've not blamed Ange for the injuries. That's for a medical person to evaluate. We did have an uptick in our away form for a couple of months. Our home form this year, 2 wins from 14, has been a continuation of what we saw from November last year. The stadium right now is a horrible place to...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    There will always be reasons/excuses (depending on your point of view) offered for poor performance. The fact of the matter remains that 22 losses out of 38 league games is absolutely unacceptable for a club like Tottenham Hotspur. A 17th placed finish is absolutely unacceptable for a club...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    I think you could argue he's massaging history. My recollection/impression without looking at stats: 1. He started brilliantly with title winning form - Aug 23-Nov 23. 2. We regressed a fair bit as injuries took hold - Nov 23-Feb 24. 3. Our form didn't recover and we took some bad hidings...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Frank certainly has culpability for our continued losing run. No doubt. Whether it was that statement specifically I'd be doubtful (silly and all as it was) but I think his lack of presence, his lack of track record and his style of play were bigger contributors. All of that still doesn't get...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Have you ever seen any team bin off the league in the fashion that we did last year? We lost 22 league games. We had a horrific home record. Losing becomes a habit and a habit that is hard to break. Ange has admitted that he wrote off the league pretty much so he accepted losing and the players...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    I don't think it's a binary thing with failure or not when it comes to Ange. Finishing 17th with this club is incompetent in my book. I've never seen any club sink as low as quickly as we have from top 6 finishes to bottom 4-5 teams. Maybe Leeds in the early 00s but that was because...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Maybe but, to be fair, how often do you hear "there was contact so that's a pen". If that is the barometer of what a foul is, Muani's is definitely a foul - he's put his hands on Gabriel to gain an advantage.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I’d generally agree with you but The Athletic are a pretty good source. Was listening to one of their writers in the week and he was saying that they’ll have at least two sources if not three before they put something like this out there.

    Igor the Interim

    Not only are they players we need back because of where they play and how good they are but I think they are both good characters (based on the little bit I see) who'll be willing to fight a bit for the cause.

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    The Gabriel/Muani one? Yeah I think I would. I'd be strongly claiming it.
