Globally footballers are shitter now than they were 20+ odd years ago. You can name 5/6 genuenly great current players. Back then there were loads, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Figo, Zidane, Del Piero, Totti, Batistuta, Klivert, Raul etc etc
Don't agree with this. Those names sound so much better through nostalgia.

Now the game is played at a much quicker pace . Watch them old games, often those players had so much time.

Has the game lost the mavericks through its increased pace and intensity? Maybe. But in twenty years time the next generation will be racing about. Messi, Ronaldo, De Bruyne, Mbappe, Vinicius Jnr, Kane Naymar, Salah, Musiala and others.

Luis Enrique would be a shocking appointment and what makes it worse it would be on the advice of Paratici

I agree and I got a ton of pelters in the chats 😂.
It typical Spurs we are on list D now and because Enrique is Spanish and played for Barca he looks like a good candidate against Ange.

Spanish fans absolutely hated him, very very arrogant and not what this club needs right now.
Would take Rodgers all day long over him.

You don't want a manager who was hated by his last set of fans.

You don't want a manager who is very, very arrogant.

You don't want a manager who is not what this club needs right now.

And yet your go-to name as someone who you'd rather is... Brendan Rodgers.

Hmm.

So let me get this straight. All the winner and agree ratings means the statements are controversial or you're actually agreeing with the statements? :cautious:

Finishing top 4 and winning some of the big games under Redknapp and Poch have been our best years in the last 30 years. Better than any trophy winning season over that time. I'll take more of that over a trophy. I still think Champions League is a great competition to be in. I still love seeing us face the giants of world football. I don't think it's boring just because the format has remained for so long. Also finishing top 4 over 38 games is far more difficult than winning the FA or Carabao Cup. The only reason trophies are so widely spoken about is because we get mocked for it by rival fans. I don't believe it matters so much on the grand scheme of things. It's nice to win one of course but unless it's the league or Champions League it's just a bonus. I would rather get back into top 4 and win more of those big games with Champions League nights than win a lesser trophy and finish lower in the table.

The odd cup here and there while being overall pretty crap, if we’re honest - think we qualified for the UEFA Cup once in the decade before ENIC came in. I personally wouldn’t go back to consistently midtable in return for trophy once a decade - which is the rate we’ve won them at historically!
Think it’s 1.6 a decade from 1900->2000 16 trophies.

Controversial opinion, ever since the FA Cup became less important, Spurs have become less important in the history books.

We bottled it in 2015/16. Arsenal at home against 10 men we were 2-1 up with 15 mins to go and then shat the bed . We would have gone top after that game and put pressure on Leicester with 9 games to go . In fact we were lucky to get the draw in the end .

People who still have the current Chelsea manager as their avatar need to get over it and move on.

I like Donald Trump.
Women’s football is shit.
Audi and Bmw suck.
Snooker and darts and especially cricket ought to be outlawed.
People who have accents like Danny Dyer should be toe-punted to another country…. For good.
Adults into WWE are weird.
Messi is better and was always better than Ronaldo.
Airlines should be child free.

Ange could get a tune out of Dele.

Ange may have that charisma to unlock whatever has happened to Dele
cheap and short term contract to prove his worth or not
Has legs to press
1 year contract with our option to extend
bomb him off if it clearly ain’t working or impacting the group with attitude

if we were to allow one ‘moneyball’ type player. He could be it.
