***The Spurs Files 3***

On Thursday.. I have a suspicion if Maddison starts we're done for..

If we're level on 65 minutes.. chuck him on and win the game.

Wanna laugh?

In my opinion... Wolves are as good as Frankfurt and to be honest, on another day with our A team and some luck going our way.. we probably win the game..

Starting to convince myself now.. .. COYS!

I see Son is out of the Europa tie
Chances of qualifying is now
ZERO

I would have thought our chances increase.

Spurs thru
To face Bodo
coys

Well its the title decider at Pool
Gonna be a
WHITEWASH!!!

Resting Players for EUROPA

The most defeats a team have suffered in a 38-game Premier League season without being relegated is 21.

Tottenham have lost 18 matches so far and this is their final five:

◎ Liverpool (A)
◎ West Ham (A)
◉ Crystal Palace (H)
◎ Aston Villa (A)
◉ Brighton (H)

Cant see Tottenham breaking that record...

Good idea to rest players at Anfield.. Ange has his thinking head on

Be superb to win something this season, even glorious defeat in the final would be nice.

I can see something being built here but I'm getting a vibe, perhaps we should scrap this project and let someone else have a go at almost building something!

Ancelotti would last just as long as all the others imo.

COYS.

Telegraph reporting Ange is TOAST at the end of the season
Is Fergie available?

It,s what we are Mate 

EMIT!!! You're finally coming around. Good for you!

Nah, I'd give him another season.. unless we don't make the final and lose to West Ham.. Both or either would be unforgivable. imo.

IMVHO I believe the players are playing for themselves in the cup, not for Coco. It was an interesting start to life at Spurs, but once the other teams sussed him out it has been downhill all the way. After that he was exposed as a manager out of his depth at this level. Another season of this tripe and I'll probably take a year off myself.

Emitdeb, I can't believe you're still supporting this clown. Would've been relegated if they promoted teams not been so catastrophically bad and surely it wouldn't have gotten any better next season.  Absolutely no uptick in performances despite having a full squad to pick from. As Aspro said, Ange is completely out of his depth at this level.

And I've zero interest in "heroic defeat" (surely an oxymoron) in the final.

Ange is completely out of his depth at this level.

I remember Liverpool fans phoning radio shows and saying exactly that about Klopp. Before things sort of turned around for him...

and Arteta and Fergie.. just saying.

But ok, looks like we're getting rid.. Look forward to a new guy, lucky it isn't Potter...   Shall we give ten Haag a go?

I suspect it's a good idea to chop and change managers (the Chelsea way) as long as the new guy has a pretty much limitless amount of cash to spend. Those days are over for all, so who ever comes in has to deal with what we've got plus a few bob from Levy to trade with.. We will be in the same boat this time next year.. Guaranteed.. imo.

Next years top comments..

1, It's too boring.
2, Too defensive.
3, Hasn't got a clue how to defend..
4, Hasn't got a clue.

Out of all Spurs' managers this century, including caretaker, interim and acting managers, who knew what they were doing?

George Graham
David Pleat
Glenn Hoddle
David Pleat
Jacques Santini
Martin Jol
Clive Allen
Juande Ramos
Harry Redknapp
André Villas-Boas
Tim Sherwood
Mauricio Pochettino
José Mourinho
Ryan Mason
Nuno Espírito Santo
Antonio Conte
Cristian Stellini
Ryan Mason
Ange Postecoglou

I can remember being a big fan of...

David Pleat
Glenn Hoddle
Martin Jol
Mauricio Pochettino

I Liked..

José Mourinho
Antonio Conte

I Like..

Ange Postecoglou

oops.. Left Harry out..

By the time the league season is complete  Spurs will have 21+ defeats. That'll be the highest ever amount of defeats for a team that didn't get relegated. Klapp was a Bundesliga winner before coming to Liverpool.  Ange was pottering around in Australia,  Asia and Scotland.

I remember Klopp was so bad, scousers were phoning in and wanted him dead.. So much hate..

Ange is still on a learning curve (perhaps).. If he goes, I'd be backing he'll be a winner somewhere and probably bite us on the backside, just like Nuno..

He can go learn his trade somewhere else.

David Sullivan rubbing his grubby hands together..

Look
MATE
were Entertaining
For the away side

The Premier League is the ultimate football league. It should attract the best managers and clubs should not be appointing not people who are leaning their trade.

He was close to getting Spurs relegated. He could definitely get West Am relegated if he was given a full season there. Just look a4 his win/loss ratio (especially after that freak run at the beginning of last season when Angeball briefly took the league by surprise).

I remember, just before all the injuries.. which turned out to be Ange systematically hobbling his best players.. It's all about opinions innit.

My opinion is we'll get to the final and Man U wont.. Spurs will win and Ange will be sacked.. We'll all be moaning before Christmas.. It's who we are Mate.

Coco Out!

Next?

Parker
Says
Penelope!!!

Any obscure Euro flash in the pan managers on the horizon, who might fancy having their pockets filled over the next season?

Potter might be available soon.. 

Gotta laugh or I'd cry..

Poch is being tapped up according to my sources at the Lane.

Levy should have a go himself..

Poch is unaffordable until after the WC

And Ange to take over the Leeds job... the spiritual successor to Bielsa.

The manager should go SAP, since when did Australians know anything about football? Cricket yes, football no.
Looking at long term a la Kopp and Fergy they didn't finish near relegation and here's the killer -one dimensional.
We've got to play on a plastic pitch in Norway which won't be comfortable, against my better judgement I'm going on Thursday,
tbh without too much confidence.
Finally on a betting site the overall nagging thought in my mind is:-
If you can't be good be lucky and Postecoglou just ain't lucky.

This Pool watch is gonna be difficult
Watching on the tv

and cup match on laptop


Match selection -weakened and Gray in midfield
Looks like a 3 nil defeat

Thrashed 5 1
Thats entertainment
MATE

Loss number 19. It's who we are, MATE.

At this rate, Ange might leave this club with a record

How would you want Ange to play this game? Full throttle? or half arsed?  Biggest game of the season on Thursday..

Lets get a grip.. imo.

I was dreading 7-0..

5-1 against the Champions in our situation was par..

Emit, I am certain not one of us here expected anything other than what happened. Not at all bothered about today's result.

.. I spose so, I do get carried away (most times)

Bodo wun 3 nil at home today
2nd in the league
Obviously not Pool quality
Gonna need at least a 2 goal advantage at home

The odds say will should easily beat them

Guessing the Bodo league would equate to our division 1 or 2?

First time a Norwegian side has ever made it to a Euro semi... I reckon it's a very big deal over there.

Tottenham v Bodo Glimt - Alternative Handicaps
Tottenham (-1.0)

I've gone in heavy...

Bodø/Glimt have lost all three knockout phase away games – and have key men Patrick Berg, Håkon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen suspended. However, if the Norwegian side can keep things tight in London, they will surely back themselves at their Aspmyra fortress for the return.

Aspmyra Stadium With a capacity of 8,200..

I'm going in again, -2...

Ange has a lot of scar tissue from Bodo after they comfortably beat his Celtic side home and away in the Europa League, and the Norwegians did it with very little possession (sound familiar ?), so I wouldn't be so bullish about Spurs chances. I've just backed Bodo in the outright at 16/1, and that looks like the value bet, with an easy trade should they get past Spurs over 2 legs.

Conference league v Celtic

Don't waste your money... Not often I'm 99% sure of something.  There's no such thing as jinxing BS!  Spurs will get to the Final!

4-0  @ 14/1... Can I have this in the correct score comp?

no

You get ridiculously carried away sometimes, Emitdeb. I've no idea where all your wild optimism stems from. The Bobo manager is most likely a technical mastermind in comparison to our guy. Anyway, Spurs'll need at least a 2-0 victory to take to the away leg.

Who likes cars?
On yt-car destiny
We see Spurs players driving
Mainly Mercs

Thought Captain Son appears to be driving a white van?
Anyone suss what hes driving?
Must be on his uppers!!!

Bergval OUT for the season
Madders not looking good

Medical dept needs to be SACKED

Head of medics sacked once, hopefully with new CEO and Paratici we'll improve next season, not forgetting a new manager,
Frank is my nomination, but in truth anyone but Postecoglou.

Still lurking in 16th spot!!!

I see Ange has said they WONT praticse on a plastic pitch before Thursday

His career depends on him reaching the final

No sorry
winning the europa

I expect Manu to win the comp unless they surrender to Atletic!!!

Levy chose.. To dare is to do

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.. Probably more apt..

Sorry state affairs at Westham
Spurs didn’t  get out  of 2nd gear
With z team out too
Poor derby but spurs got bigger fish to fry as they say
Can’t wish you good luck Thursday as you know wouldn’t mean it
lol

Can’t put spurs in same boat as us with problems
You have world class toilet bowl and training pitch we have school porter cabin
You win Europe get champion league
Unlike we did
We won kept poxy Moyes  but lost rice
You won’t be losing stars this window
Both have is grade a c**** as owners
Both at bottom of table
You play full on type football with no defensive
We play anti football
We both want be in middle road playing style
We both would take silva as manger

Similarities but Westham worse off

Madders out for the season
As expected

Manu 1.84 to win Europa
Atletic 46

Spurs=Dont bother

Aston Villa game brought forward to 16th, regardless of result on Thursday.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c86j861w6g7o

Just noticed missing players on the plane to the Artic
SON
and Charliestown!!!

Unfortunately, the SON has now set. Been a great servant, but won't get too many games going forward and probably won't be missed tomorrow.

I must admit that I got this completely wrong and I never expected Spurs to get to the final of this competition. They seem to be a completely different team in the Europa than they are in the league.  Anyway, better win the ****ing thing now. I'm not interested in a "heroic defeat".

Are we all still in agreement, Ange must go? 

Before the FINAL

Mason to take tempoarary control
Could Levi repeat his actions?

Yes! As my other-thread posts have confirmed, I think the team are on a mutiny and playing for themselves.

I think I agree with this. The likes of Romero step up in the Europa. He's not doing it for the manager. It would feel harsh to sack Ange if they win the Europa but you just know he'll start next season poorly and be fired by October or November if he's kept on.

What about you, Emitdeb?  Still Ange IN?

Yes and if he wins, how can you sack the guy!?... It would be shameful.. imo. Sack him at Christmas when we're 15th in the league and out of whatever we're in..

Though I'm not very confident of beating Man U 4 times in one season..

If there's anyone (player) not willing to put a shift in for any manager, then that player's not reliable enough for any club.. imo.

Maddison has always been a ticking timebomb, way too fragile for 90 minutes, especially week in week out...

Noticed Udoggie not in the Palace game
Injured?

Well Dejan injured now
Stupid ANGE

"To put that in full perspective; those first 10 games of last season still account for a quarter of all Postecoglou’s Premier League points. Even including that run with its eight wins and no defeats he has still has just as many losses as wins in the Premier League."

Forest 2-2 Leicester

League defeat number 20 (and counting). Great cup run but this situation with Ange is untenable.

Wrong thread, but yes I agree sofa

Yeah, that was poor. Thanks Ange but no thanks. Let him see the season out..

FINALLY!

TBH, I watched his team chat after the Bodo Glimt game.. Just didn't impress me much.. 

At least Arsenal are currently having a new one torn...

i watched it as well
Thought the players looked up for it
Though

Yeah probs.. I'm a fussy old git.

Never mind derby and Southampton this spurs team is the biggest disgrace ever to play in the premier league.and for that matter the English top flight in my lifetime.

https://youtu.be/GWGNPFI-MtE?feature=shared

Apart from a couple of the teams that Man U have beaten, how many of the Europa teams would survive a season in the Premier League? Bod Glimt would struggle in Div 1. Winning the Europa League would be better than losing it but in no way makes up for being 17th in the Premier League.

Absolutely sageform I’m a United supporter and it’s embarrassing the way this game is now been built up the Watney cup back in the 70s would take moor winning both spurs and united are lucky there were 3 teams even more appalling below them .

Congratulations in winning the Europey Cup jim... Good luck next season. Wanna swap managers?

Guessing you must consider Man Utd as the second biggest disgrace in Premier league history..

Not far off emit however there has been a few good performances particularly at anfield I know spurs won at city but so did united which I suppose makes city the third worst

Went on Sunday, just when you think we can't play any worse-we played appallingly.
How that idiot is still in charge baffles me.
That said, Palace with the exception of Liverpool and City were the best I'd seen, and were excellent all round, in attack and defence.
I must have a small bet on them this weekend as they were far superior to Villa, Forest etc.
Mind you, they have a manager who knows the time of day unlike our barely there incumbent.

Figjam

Not been biased against city but if you landed from outer space on New Year’s Day you would wonder how on earth are palace not favourites.

just give up and go and give your cash to a team that will appreciate it like enfield barnet or orient

Dejan injured
Out of the FINAL

Its entertainment

MATE

21ST Premier defeat

Entertainment

MATE

Looks like our next ex-manager has just won the FA Cup...

That's one London club winner, two more to go
