Ange in or out?

That's why I switched off after that assault and glad I did. I was too busy laughing at Amandaland.

Recorded that
Something to watch tomorrow maybe when I get back from Villa

I hope you and everyone comes back from Villa happy so you can delay watching that show for when you need it

Nope
It’s a bad bad call too
The pool penalty wasn’t one imo
He clipped the defender but I saw why it was given
I don’t get some of the calls lately
The VVD elbow was clear midweek… clear because he took 2 goes at richy. Nothing from VAR.

Funny how pool wanted Berg sent off for the clip of ankles (which he was lucky to stay on) wonder how many think vvd was lucky?

You’re literally complaining about winning games. It’s pathetic mate.

That isn't what he was doing at all. He was adding some context to our points total before the injuries started to mount up to question the idea that because we were 6th (or whatever) that it meant we were on course to finish the season around that position. I'm sure you'd be quick to similarly add some context to our recent run of poor results in order to suggest we aren't as bad as they suggest.

Im actually going to UTD next week which I hope we can win and make us safer as they are toilet. My only worry is that when was the last time we beat UTD 3 times in a season? I dont even think it has ever happened but there is always a first, I guess.

That said, I havent been since Everton so we are surely due a win as I a bring us luck, joy and just overall positivity from one of the best Spurs fans out there*.

I think we have Ange in for a few more games, maybe until the end of the season.

As the dust has settled a bit from Thursday, I'd be happy with our start of the season form of win one, lose won, win one lose one, as that would keep us safe.

Write off the season, maybe get a cup win (but that looks unlikely now) and assess in the summer.


*this is up for debate

You’re probably too young to remember but…

1989/90 under Venables. We beat them 2-1 at home to clinch 3rd (IIRC), 1-0 at theirs and 3-0 at OT in the League Cup. Again, IIRC that 3-0 was the night Terry Fenwick broke his leg.

As a 10 year old, I remember the joy of finding Radio 5 on my mother’s radio which was the size of a spaceship and many’s the night I clinged to the side of it listening to our games. Great memories which my son will never know as everything is on tv these days. Which, in fairness, is much better than having Alan Greene crackling through the airwaves and fading in and out but it built a special kind of love for the club and the game enduring that to follow us live.

Christ, I don’t half ramble on a bit…

mate the amount of saturdays I would put on my AIWA midi hifi on 909, with Jonathan Pearce saying Reeady, Steadym, Teddy Sheringham scoring, gave me such a buzz. That and putting on Ceefax 301? to flip through the 3pm scores, or going into Dixons in Chelmsford high street to make it look like I was looking for a new walkman, but actually with ten other blokes and kids just checking the 3pm scores. Those are much better days than what we have now IMO. Football was purer back then, no social media, no tacos on a forum being negative.

Bring back those days I say.

Maybe when we pass over to the other side, we just float around reminiscing about the good times and re-visit them in a spiritual way.

Just on the whole: "have we only won games this season because the opposition has been sh**" versus "have we only lost games this season because of injuries and fatigue" i think the truth of the matter is like with many of these debates somewhere *inbetween*. I do feel like those that expect us to shoot up the form and points table when we get all our players back are going to be disappointed. We've not shown a good deal of consistency under this head coach at any period other than his first 10 games in charge.

As I've said previously I feel like for a Celtic, or even say for a Real Madrid, Bayern or Barcelona i think he could be a very good manager. I feel like he needs:
1) superior players to the opposition's
2) perfect players for his system
In order to build a consistent team.

I feel like in a really competitive league like the PL or Serie A that opposition are good enough to exploit the gaps in his system at a much more consistent level and also, his system is based on taking risks so when you're up against top opposition week in week out those risks are magnified in that when you take risks playing out from the back you're going to get caught more often.

In the PL when it all clicks it can be spectacular but we have not shown a consistent ability to grind out a result when not playing particularly well or when facing an opposition that are having a good day. Basically when we are having a bad day or we have injuries or suspensions we lose. And in this league that just isn't sustainable.
