No wonder we're a laughing stock, if the reactions on here are anything to go by we get everything coming to us.

Moan about the prices, moan about the cost, moan about the players (including a 20 year old from our academy) the manager, the chairman, the stadium ...

We aren't entitled to a fucking thing. We're Spurs.

Have at it.

Why can’t we - as season ticket holders/regular attendees - be disgruntled at the high prices and say so on a Spurs message board?

fuck off about Poch - he was burnt and going through the motions - he was Shit at the end - do you get that mate

Whether Jose was the right thing is another matter

We'll see how shit he is when he gets another job. It's going to be fun watching him win it all while we try to qualify for Europe. It's never realistic to expect a team to be good all the time, and even less so in our circumstances. That doesn't mean the manager's suddenly turned shit and has to be sacked.

I think that had more to do with 18 months of no transfers, no money to give players the contracts they needed, etc. There is no miracle fix to our position. But we've tried to buy one rather than trust the guy who'd already achieved so much with us. And unsurprisingly it isn't working.
Too early to judge Mourinho, if we are just as shit as we are this time next season then fair enough but he as got us in with a chance of top 4 where as Poch wasnt taking us there this time around.
Poch had lost the dressing room so he had to go and who else were we meant to bring in? Mourinho was the obvious choice in my opinion.

It wasn't over a year. But you know what, if Jose doesn't win an away game the rest of this season but beats his German opposition in the R16 by four goals, knocks out the favourites and takes us to the UCL final again, I'll take that. The squad needed a refresh. But it sucks so much that when we finally had some kind of money in the summer to invest, Poch only got literally a couple of months to work with it after years of not just dragging some players who weren't the most talented into the Top 4 but getting them playing brilliantly too. He deserved a hell of a lot more time. Given the months Mourinho's had I don't think we'd be doing as badly as we are right now - a mess, toothless, low-energy, passionless.

We were equally bad under Poch for a good 6 months. We didn’t make it to the CL playing Barca football - remember the Ajax games, remember the City games? We were not exactly in command. We didn’t win in the league away for a very long time. Jose has had a bit more than 3 months in charge and some key players out. I agree we have not turned around as a team but I think some time is needed. We are -and have been - struggling as a team for nearly a year now.

Our defence yet again, let us down. They were more organised and deserved the win. I cannot see us improving much, in whats left of the season. We need a complete overhaul in our defence, come summer transfer window. We also need to sign up another striker,so we will not experience again what we are presently going through.

Jose will go down as one of the worst things to happen to this club. Guy is genuinely clueless. Yeah we have no strikers but we have an abundance of midfielders. Why play 5 at the back, at home?? And when Dier is one of those... Unforgiveable.

I think the players are letting him down, just as they let Poch down

I'd appreciate if someone could explain why we continually play 3 at the back. I don't think it works. We forfeit an offensive player and invariably the 3 centre backs fail to pick up the spare striker running intto the box who scores. Also, why not bring the subs on as soon as Wolves equalise?

At our peak, Poch got us as a team performing better than the sum of their parts with a sprinkling of true top level class. Since Poch stopped being able to do that, the deficiencies in a number of our key players have been exposed and without the investment to the squad to make improvements we are left in the situation we find ourselves in - too many players not up to snuff and no cover for the few in the squad who are

With each and every game I feel the enthusiasm and interest being sapped out of me. Poch’s peak were truly halcyon days - never before had I felt such a connection and pride in a Spurs team. I’m not a misty eyed idiot, I know those days are gone, and that Poch had to go. But it just leaves a lump in throat to know that and we are stuck with this iteration of us for the foreseeable unless 2 of the most stubborn men in football change their ways

I heard Davies saying in an interview that the players haven’t yet understood what the manager wants. Only 100
Days in charge. Just think where we will be after another hundred? Just ask Chelsea or ManU fans and they will tell you ... after they stop laughing at you

Got a few months till the end of the season, then we’ll see whether anything has improved or it’s just that you like the taste of Jose’s arsehole

Let's be honest, we are a midtable team at the moment. Half our squad is good, half is bang average on a good day. Levy and Poch filled the squad with technically poor footballers, and then let it stagnate. Performances have been shit under Jose, but he inherited a horrible squad and has had shocking luck with injuries, so I don't think we should judge him on this season.

Why would you rather give that time and faith to Jose than Poch? Poch played Barca football at his best and made CL finals at his worst. Jose plays Fellainiball at his best and leaves clubs like Chelsea in relegation battles at his worst.

I agree he is a great manager- I never said he was poor.

I think Poch was and is a great manager - just think he was done (for whatever reason) here. A real shame for us :sorry::sorry:

We are far from Top 4 level. Its not just the injuries. Yes Aurier played well as did Lo Celso and Tanganga had his hands full and I think is going to be great. But the rest were between shit and mediocre but closer to shit
Heard a stat on the stream I was watching. Lo Celso has yet to score or assist in the league in 17 appearances.
