This is brilliant
Well Lewis is news worthy
He got me too there. It almost sounds like he’s channeling his inner Conte and you could just imagine every press officer’s eyes lighting up before pulling the prank.
He’s a brilliant manager and he’s excellent with the press.
He'd have been perfect for what we need really, the way he handles the press, the players, his football. Spurs were worse than us before he took over and now it's pretty much forgotten given the transformation he's made. Not to mention they lost Kane.
Alright mate.
How are you giving Spurs grief you're miles shitter than they are
The game is the game. Anyone can get itHow are you giving Spurs grief you're miles shitter than they are
We do it all the timeHow are you giving Spurs grief you're miles shitter than they are
People jizzed their pants too early it seems
If Chelsea beat Liverpool next week, what do you think we'll be doing?How are you giving Spurs grief you're miles shitter than they are
Spoiler: They won't because they're fecking dross
They celebrating?
Oh wait
Oh wait
3rd best manager in the league
Only 2 points better off than they were at the same point last season, sitting outside top 4 and out of all competitions. Man Utd could end up being only 3 points behind by tomorrow.
Poor man's Martin Jol.

Teams seem to have figured them out a bit. They havent got the space to swarm into that they had at the begging of the season and get a boost when having to break teams down
We'll finish ahead of them. They have not looked good since November.
Funny how people point to Postecoglou and use him as a stick to beat EtH with. Something something about style and control. Yet, beaten decidedly at home by wolves. Laughable.
He needs 2 years and 400m and then we can judge him.
It’s almost like the PL isn’t an easy league for anyone.
Well he spent nearly 250m last summer so he’s nearly there
You realise that is an exceptional achievement, right?3rd best manager in the league

They’ve lost the player most believed was carrying them, and are doing better in the league to the equivalent point in time to last season. Son was also said to be cooked and no longer the player he was.
Predictably, revisionism states that they shouldn’t miss a beat, whilst at the start of this very same season, many had them down to absolutely nosedive without Kane and a past it Son leading them.
He won't have a better first season the ETH. As expected
Not even close with them being dumped out of the cups with no Europe either. He's now only oncourse for an 'ok' season and they could still make it a proper shit one.
Wow really?
I had heard stories that he is on small budget. 250 is wow.
You seem to have a pretty high bar as to where Spurs should be having just lost the best player in their history that they’d relied on heavily for best part of the last decade.
Barring an absolute disaster it won’t be a ‘proper shit’ season for them and if they make it to CL they will have well overachieved.
6th and nothing else would be a pretty shit season for Spurs, no?
No cup run at all, no European distraction.
I don't think that's a high benchmark for them..
Not really, it would be an OK outcome given circumstances (losing Kane) and where they have been recently. They got into top 4 once in their last four seasons.
Just proves how much the media can manipulate opinion of managers. Poch was sacked for not progressing Spurs any further. Conte had them in the Champions League places but it wasn’t deemed good enough. Jose had them around 4/5th and again it wasn’t good enough. Ange is doing the exact same but there is so much positivity about him and Spurs this season, even though they aren’t in a better position to previous managers.
I don’t get this excuse. Every other side in the league didn’t have Kane when he came in, it’s not a disadvantage.
See above.
Around £250m invested sensibly in players with the majority already at the club and ready to play his brand of football. Look at the profiles of the players. Those they were lacking they signed.
I still think Ange has done a brilliant job and it’s silly to suggest he hasn’t but his ability to have a quick impact and style is also down to having the players to do it.
Pochettino was sacked because they were sitting 14th in the league (though that may have been premature given they just reached CL final months prior) and Conte was actively trying to get himself fired for weeks.
Spurs came into this season with low expectations, having finished 8th last year and lost Kane in the Summer.
I don’t even think they are as pathetically terrible as people on here make it out, in the last 5 games they won two, drew two where they played well (last gasp equalizer from Branthwaite and a good performance at OT) and lost a close one yesterday to Wolves. Last 10 games their record is W6 D2 L2 which is hardly horrible.
I don't know if you're highlighting that to say what has happened is elementary and obvious from the outset; the only people with validity to that claim are the ones that stated it before the season kicked off.
Overwhelmingly, Spurs were expected to tank without Kane, and a shot Son.
There's also the aspect of many replacing the few is no surefire means of success and/or improvement, especially when a banker like Kane is concerned.
Ye I think the difference with Ange though is his style of play. He’s come in and instantly got them playing the way he wants. And his signings have all been decent aswell. He’s brought players that will get even better as there at a young age. Also he’s never managed in the premier league where as Conte and Mourinho had before they joined spurs so that’s why Ange probably gets more praise. It’s hard for a foreign manager to come into this league and adapt.
Oh no not that it was elementary but you can see if you want to play a high line you need athletes. I’d argue they were either already at the club or signed.
My next post does go on to say that I think he’s done a brilliant job. I do however think him being used as a benchmark or stick beat Ten Hag with is laughable.
I've watched their last two home games and they've been pretty awful. Certainly no obvious style of play.
So going of 2 games they have no style of play? What about the other 23? They aren’t always going to play there best football. Do city not have a clear style of play when they played Arsenal and only had 4 shots, or played Aston Villa and only had 2 shots all game?
