    FA Cup 24/25

    Completely deserved by Palace. Great goal and then defended brilliantly. City just wanted too many touches.

    If we can nick something tonight it would be a really good result in the circumstances. Loving Villa getting narked

    Really like Kinsky. To me he has a higher ceiling than Vicario

    And I think we would have won things under those other managers if we had been able to prioritise a tournament over the league. I’ve never seen us able to do that before so this season is an outlier. Shows you that Ange has been given a lot more leeway than any previous managers.

    Agreed, but it's been a fair few games he's been doing this in the league. Basically the knockout stages. I can't think of other teams who rest players for that number of games. Or if they do, send teams out who look completely unprepared for the task in front of them. If you're not going to...

    There are a range of views on Ange and his ability. I have posted elsewhere that I think he has approached the League games very differently to the Cup and Europa League games. It feels like he is binning off the league games

    There's no doubt he's shown some nous in getting there. It's the rest of the stuff like binning off league games that I have a problem with.

    My first Spurs Trophy win was in 1981. I was 8 years old and I still remember Ricky Villa dancing around the Emirates Marketing Project defence before putting the ball in the net. Then I remember my Spurs hero, Glenn Hoddle, scoring a penalty against a Terry Venables led QPR in the final in 82. I remember...

    Put simply Steff -yes. Because, although I can see you have perspective, plenty on here seem to have lost theirs. Hence the passionate defence of him, the comments about him being the best manager in 20-30 years if we win the EL, the comparisons belittling Poch's achievements, and from posters...

    This is a great point and why we failed with our last 2 trophy winning managers. @Gutter Boy your post above perfectly articulates how I feel about this EL run. I can't believe, having been a Spurs fan for more than 45 years, I feel so little joy at the moment in my team.

    Ha mate I love your posts but herein lies my problem with those still defending Ange. He isnt held to the same standard as our other managers. Since when in your time as a Spurs fan has it been acceptable to forfeit the league? And with the money spent on the squad too, be that actual fees or...

    It would be great to win the Europa League. But I think a bit of perspective is needed about it because I don't think this year's campaign is comparable to any other. Ange has effectively given up on the league since the knockout stages and not had to worry about the domestic cups either. No...

    Palace have a cup final too if I'm not mistaken. But they still take the league seriously.

    Yep for 12 days I am putting aside any negative feelings I have for Ange and just hoping for my son's sake (oh and mine) that we win a trophy. I am Spurs first always!

    Everything you say there is valid and difficult to argue with, although I'm giving it a very good try 😊. I still maintain the difference between the league and cup games is more nuanced than just the 1st choice back 5 being fit irrespective of what stats say. Tbh we don't even know his first...

    Forget stats for the moment and look at games. We beat Liverpool in the carabao at home, arguably our best result of the season, with Gray and Dragusin as CBs. But we shielded them well with Bergvall and Biss. Without a doubt it's easier to win games with your best 11 playing but that is not the...

    Pretty much the first choice back 5 started Vs Forest and Brighton in the PL and we lost both games conceding poor goals. I think it is more to do with the mentality of how we approach the knockout games in the Europa League as opposed to the PL, i.e not as gung-ho, defend better as a team...
