Mate, sorry that's funny.

Who the fuck cares?

We had a respectful coach/manager/coach who lost his shit with Dean last season and got the full end of the naughty stick from the FA.

I don’t know it just doesn’t sit right with me. I can only hope or suspect that he’s trying to build an us vs them seige mentality otherwise he just comes across as petulant.

You mean it some what takes the media gaze on him and not on the insipid 90 odd minutes of football 11 players + subs just put together against Southampton ... Blokes a genius in that respect.

I totally agree. I think Joe Lewis is a fucking disgrace and I can’t wait for him to sell the club or die.
Im not sure it'll make much difference if he dies, won't his share just go to his son/daughter? I cant see them taking on a radical new approach.

All I know is that everything was going swimmingly until this twat came along and upset the apple cart.

I'll say no more. :cautious:

Feel like he was brought in to squeeze every last drop of our current squad, maybe scrape top 4 and/or an FA cup.

However, it's looking increasingly likely that this squad is just dusted and we need a massive rebuild. Unfortunately, I'm not sure he's the man to lead a full squad upheaval...

Don't really blame Jose but this is the final moment for ENIC to try and redeem themselves for the last few windows. Highly doubt we'll buy anyone though to be honest.
I respectfully disagree. We’ll buy players- but wether it’s Mourinho’s first choice players or second choices because Levy fucks about with the negotiations etc is another thing

Take a break everyone, go do something else for a few days. Tottenham will drive you insane if you let it.

Yep I’ve learned to accept it now. Don’t mind posting things etc but I have absolutely no expectations for the next 2 years at the very least. I’ll enjoy a win and be a bit meh when we lose as I fully expect us to bounce round 6-12th for the next 3 years.

Our entire squad is bloated with overpaid overrated footballers. Can’t believe there are still people out there thinking Alli is a good footballer, he is bang bang bang average and has been for two years. He got figured out and isn’t good enough to get any better. I genuinely hope he proves me wrong but I’d wager a rather large bet that he won’t. If someone offered 30-40m I would snap their hand off.

It’s not Mourinho fault but imo he’s not the manager to take us out of this, he’s done nothing to convince me he will solve this mess, unless we spend a lot of money but I can’t see that happening

I said it at the beginning I would rather us get rid of every player Poch didn’t want/didn’t want to be here than sack Poch
Well baldilocks refuses to invest. He’d rather give new contracts to players on the decline then invest in new players.

Honestly that family are a fucking stain on this football club.

I do not want to hear anybody telling me “oh but the stadium, but but but the training ground!” No, fuck off. It’s all tied down in loans that the club need to pay back.

We will never, ever be anywhere near the heights of City and Liverpool whilst that old **** owns this club.

Are you making stuff up to suit your own argument? Or do you have proper info in which case I am happy to concede the point ... Doubtful though ...

Saying this, the fact we stopped purchasing anyone when players were offered doesn't help - you don't always get your number one transfer target - unless you're god tier - and we're not.

Like I said, part of his own downfall.

Purse strings are too tight, always have been - need to be loosened now though otherwise we're headed for mediocrity again.
I can see a pattern. They player given to him were randomly given chances and poch was never upbeat re their signings. When mousa was signed(instead of mane) poch was on a boat in barca.

The thing is we can't spend big like some of the clubs but we can be clever with signings like liverpool. Where the owner doesn't decide who to sign. They scout it and they sign it. some of them cheap and some of them expensive but it looks like technical football related people makes decision unlike us where the finance base decision are made. Why did we sign serge and moura. both were not playing and easily and cheaply available and given to the manager to work it out.

Let’s get more than one day into the window without saying we aren’t going to buy anyone. Although I’ve 0% faith in the club to buy anyone.

Anyone blaming Mourinho for that is a fucking moron.

Is it Jose’s fault that Lloris dislocated his elbow, leaving us with a goalkeeper who not only happens to be the shittest keeper in the league but also someone who only signed for spurs because he was from the same town as Pochettino.

is it Jose’s fault that we’ve allowed Danny Rose to hold the club to ransom when he himself must know he is WELL past it?

Is it Jose’s fault that Ben Davies picked up a serious injury in his first game as our manager?

Is it Jose’s fault that Vertonghen is absolutely past his best and the club have failed to sign a left sided centre back since we sold Wimmer?

Is it Jose’s fault that the brainiacs above him decided to sign Aurier as Walker’s replacement when Pereira was available and happy to join us?

is it Jose’s fault that we allowed Dembele to leave the club without adequately replacing him in January 2019?

Is it Jose’s fault that Son decided to get sent off for pure stupidity once again?

Is it Jose’s fault that the club didn’t sign a back up for Harry Kane, for instances like today where he gets injured?

If you blame him for any of those things, you’re a fucking idiot.


I blame him for not getting the players we have today better ready to play Southampton.

Mourinho must be shocked at the level these players are at physically, mentally & tactically. It's his biggest challenge since he left Portugal, no doubt about that.

I hope he can turn things around quickly, but without major funds from Levy, I can't see it.

I actually feel sorry for him at this moment in time.

McCarthy had a worldy, Ings scored a worldy, and Kane did a hammy. That's just the difference.

I don't see why everyone is being so dramatic.

Ah, the shit players Vs good players argument and who did and didn't have a say in signing them.

New Year, same shit.

Enjoy your New Years day mate ?

For the first time I’m concerned. I’ve no idea what we were trying to do today. No idea how we were trying to attack etc. We need to play with a holding midfielder, even if it is winks when Dier is injured.

There are much better owners around, I'm not sure how anyone can argue otherwise.
