The other bloke talked some shit too, saying how Spurs heads dropped and they didn't believe they could get back into it after going behind....completely ignoring how United did a full Jose special, time wasting, breaking up the game with persistent fouling (and Valencia should've seen red massively changing things), and just basically shelling it whilst man marking Eriksen.
We usually wobble a bit after conceding and we didn't cover ourselves in glory quality wise but you can't ignore who we were playing and how they played and then stick it all on a ' lack of belief '.
or he is just stating the factIs he losing faith in the project or just media spinning or saying these things to get more backing from Levy this summer?

I dunno. Poch has gone from saying he'd stay for years to saying he'd be here at the start of next season to being non-committal and dodging direct questions about his future.Just spin
This is what the media hope and pray will happen and are trying to make a self fulfilling prophecy.I dunno. Poch has gone from saying he'd stay for years to saying he'd be here at the start of next season to being non-committal and dodging direct questions about his future.
I don't want to be a prophet of doom but something about that isn't right. It feels as if he's waiting to see if a big job comes along in the summer. If he's not thinking about leaving to any extent why not just say so as he has previously? Feels like something is up.

I do get very irritated by how blind chance is totally airbrushed out of the equation all the fucking time .
We played Chelski , both sides had chances , fortune decides more of ours go in in an even match...Suddenly every wanker on TV and in here uses the pathetic phrase ' We've made a statement ' . We're the kings apparently .
Then whaddya know , we play Utd its an even game but fortune decides more of theirs go in than ours . Suddenly every wanker is bleating 'We're legends , we can never win anything because we've got a weak mentality' .
Dear Lord give me the strength to carry on amongst such rank wanksterism !
This article sums up what I've been feeling the last week or so, listening to MP's comments. He's completely changed his tune talking about when we go into the new stadium - earlier in the season he was saying that when we move - then we can be judged and compete for titles with the other big clubs. He was so bullish about that earlier in the season - how everything will be different when we move. In the last couple of weeks he's changed tack and is now saying the opposite -- that nothing will change. It will be the same financial model for years to come. ie sell to buy, low wages.
I obviously had feared this would be the case, given we are basically following Arsenal's model I expected a 10 year period of austerity post-moving into the new stadium, but all the messages coming out of the club were that the stadium move would pay immediate dividends.
Reading between the lines here it seems that MP has had a conversation about budgets for next season -- and this has caused his total about-face from a message of 'judge me on trophies in the new stadium', to 'nothing will change'. Sadly, it seems we are rapidly approaching a situation where Pochettino is not going to be backed and will feel that he's taken us as far as he can.

Reading between the lines here it seems that MP has had a conversation about budgets for next season -- and this has caused his total about-face from a message of 'judge me on trophies in the new stadium', to 'nothing will change'. Hence the recent comments 'me or another'. Sadly, it seems we are rapidly approaching a situation where Pochettino is not going to be backed and will feel that he's taken us as far as he can.

There’s definitely has been a significant change in tone from Poch in the last couple of weeks. Maybe it’s just the disappointment of losing the semi-final, but my spidey-senses are telling me that we’re in for a rough summer.
