Ive had a real good think about it and Ive decided I'm not going to get down or depressed about it. After all its not me thats lost face, I work from home and dont have to face my Man City, Man Utd or Liverpool supporting colleagues. Also I can ignore their sarcy condolence messages on Microsoft Teams.
Also, I havent lost money, I put a bet on that DZG would win 3-0 as all my bets go totally wrong usually so I thought this was a way of getting the right result.
Also, I havent lost my wife as she was buried in my cellar in a one person ceremony a couples years or so back. Lovely lady but she was a Liverpool fan and became unbearable in the minutes after a Spurs Liverpool game. If I remember correctly, she passed away the night of a champions league match, totally inconvenient.
This made me laugh a bit

Mourinho genuinely looks shell shocked. We can lambast him until the cows come home, but if the players cannot be motivated, either by themselves, or the glimmer of winning something, then no manager can help them.

The anger has passed. I'm now just bitterly resigned. It's really laugh or cry time.
Me too I’m afraid...I’m totally non plussed about the club at the moment and that upsets me more. The fact we’ve gone from the cusp of champions league glory to this shit show is quite frankly shocking, even by our standards.

I don’t know if it’s the beer. Or the crushing depression of defeat. But. After that interview. I’m questioning if it is Mourinho.

I know. I knowwwww

I think Jose is a double agent. His sacking at Chelski was a clever move. Abramoviytz (spelling) has employed him as an individual that slowly goes thru managing teams within the premier league, whilst simultaneously getting them to implode. He sneakily trades on past glories to secure said position, but all the while is plotting with tiny little confidence-breaking bombs to usurp any clubs on the up.... he’s currently fulfilling that brief with us.
Aron Spelling is Chelsea chairman? (n)

My wife is surprised I’m not angry about it.
Told her it‘s what being a Spurs fan for 35 year does to you - nothing surprises anymore
I'm not angry. I am disappointed though, and just a little bit sad for this club that I have loved for too many years. Neither the team nor the fans can hold their heads up any longer.

Some of our players are seriously overrated by some of our fanbase.

A team is only as good as it's weakest link.
What's that even supposed to mean? You could make City literally play with 10 men every game and they'd still come 4th.

Kane and Son are going nowhere just like the team . The money Levy would want makes it untenable at their age ,
These players are practically all internationals and a youth team to be proud of the only thing missing is a man that can mould this lot into a force to be reckoned with it is just not going to happen with a yesterday man .

Every element of the club is broken, and has been for some time. We have never come close to the heights we reached under Poch, and even then let's be honest, we failed.

From the owner, to the chairman, to the manager, and the players. It's all broken. It has been for decades, and it seems it always will be. New owners is pretty much the only chance we'll ever get to change things and have any chance of winning anything ever again.
I honestly can't see any solution but that. The thing that fills my heart with sorrow is that I don't see it happening. Or if it does, it'll be some oil slaver who buys us and that'll be it for me - I couldn't support the club owned by those kinds of people, heartbroken though I'd be to turn my back on Spurs, my principles wouldn't allow it.

We’re not going to beat City, so the best thing left that we can do is go all out for a top 4 place.

Play the best available players for the rest of the season.

Keep Dier, Sissoko, Winks & Doherty away from every match day squad.

Use the youth to fill up the bench.

Give more playing time to Tanganga & Rodon.
We can now as we won’t have Europa getting in the way. Just remember, we are Spurs, so we’ll get 4th and then Liverpool will win the CL, Arse will win Europa and will join that exclusive list of teams in England to finish 4th but not qualify for the CL. I think it’s only happened to one team before but can’t remember who it was?

Honestly like Jose an awful lot and he seems to really care which I can't say about all our previous managers. I do think he should go though, as much for his sake as for ours. The club has proved time and again that the top level management and approach to player recruitment are a shit show. Poch managed to work wonders in spite of levy and the club but even he got to the point where he couldn't progress things in the system we have.

Another manager should come in but it should be done with a complete shift in how the football side of our club is run and who runs it.

If I was Kane i'd already be texting my agent.
Maybe, but he is not exactly blameless himself. Just as in the NLD, he showed little urgency until too late in the game. He is a great striker when he has the ball at his feet, but his work rate off the ball isn't great and he isn't a leader on the pitch

Money always wins and unfortunately were not a club that spends to win

I'll.alwsys support the club but I think recently I've really altered my expectations of where we sit and what we will achieve

Spurs fan for 30+ years yet they still find ways to surprise and fill me with horror. This is actually one of the lowest nights as a Spurs fan for me.

because we didn't back him. simple as that. if I was poch I would be sick of this club too. I did everything I could and you still fire me, saying im inadequate, when you didn't give me any tools that I say I need. as with Kane too, would be sick of the club now

I loved Poch and miss those days badly but lets not spout untruths. Poch was stubborn to the point of pig-headedness when it came to transfers. If you can't get your top target you have to be prepared to take your second best option. If you stick your nose in the air constantly and demand nothing but the best then your squad is going to burn out. That's what happened. We could have made good signings that would have refreshed the squad. Poch refused. Levy for all his failings, and my goodness he has many, is not the prince of an oil rich arab nation with limitless petro-dollars to burn in the pursuit of fame and glory.
