Unoffical Spurs Thread

Further to this decision is VAR failure to react with sense to this knee jerk referee decision.

 

Yet have 5 mins of bs for two correct refereeing decisions.

 

Nonsense really.

Plenty of red cards have been rescinded over the years upon appeal. And all before VAR was being used

[Bredbury Blue]

Interested to know have other players come back from ankle snap injuries?

My point is VAR should have stepped in and fixed it on the spot.

If the ref could just have a look at the monitor, like we saw in CL last night, it would never been a red card. And the result would have been different.

Exactly. I still hate VAR but depriving the refs of decision making is a huge mistake.

Good to see Son smiling again. 

[hackjam]

Spurs played well, some slick passing moves, keeper looks solid. Long time since an away win.

been a while since i've posted..  SO   ... this season so far our prem performances have been shocking. next to watford we're the worst team i've seen in the prem.. and probably the worst i've seen us since.... ohh 78ish when we brought ossie and villa   why?..  levy must shoulder some blame the contract situ is a mess sayin that   i really cant believe poch has NO say in whose given  contracts and whose not and whilst levy has backed poch .. we've enjoyed toby for 3ish yrs when argualby he was one of the if not the best c'bs in the prem, BUT he's lost a yard and needs replacing. in fact our whole bac line  aint really up to scratch  and whilst I'm pleased poch bought in the summer he bought attackin options and more or less ignored our defence . .so if i could see it .. <deleted> couldnt the pro's.?  .Whilst i enjoyed pre season playin some of the euro elite the abso MAD shedule really looks as tho its taking its toll .when i watch us, I  see a team that struggles to step up a gear .

Saying that ali is on his sway bac and he WILL make a diference  and kane aint in top gear atm   add that  to our new boys who look ok, but will take a while to settle in.. so all is not lost though tbh atm cant c us getting anywhere near the top 4.. but as we all know footies a funny old game and a season is VERY long

Surprising and not surprising I guess. Pochy did a heck of a job at Spurs and clearly a very good manager. I suppose management didn't feel he was the right guy to turn things around. Did he lose the dressing room? Did Levy sabotage any chances of improving the squad because he is Levy? Questions abound, and I hope Jose the <deleted>bird Mourinho isn't the answer to any of them.

The timing suggests they have someone waiting in the wings. 

Mourinho @ 1/3 suggests it might be  him.

Nauseating. Even more so if Levy would be prepared to spend the big money he never spent for Pochettino.

Can’t see Mourinho  even contemplating it if he wasn’t promised a money pot.

Exactly, and I have a hard time envisaging Levy spending big money for any manager. Maybe Mourinho isn't the choice then. Fingers crossed.

Cripes. Champs Lge final less than 6 months ago. Bayern Munich job is available, though Pep is being touted for that. Pep to Munich, Poch to City? Poch to United? Poch to Arsenal?

There is trouble at 't mill at Spurs. Big changes in and out methinks. Anyone else notice how Vertonghen and Ericson are never in the same starting XI?

Allegri maybe. Seems a decent fit. 

Dont nick Benitez, we are having him.

I'd bet Eddie Woodward is getting a woody thinking about Pochy being available.

As much as I like Pochettino its been pretty clear that there have been a bunch of players in and out of his doghouse dating back nearly two years. That can't go on forever without a lot of negative fallout for the squad. I'd guess Levy is also to blame in that regard for not being able or willing to ship some of them out.

[jellydog]

Reading The Guardian its as if Mourinho is a shoo-in for the job. How horrible. Well, maybe it'll be fun hating on Mourinho again.

[Bredbury Blue]

You could feel that coming. Lost the winning mentally, unhappy squad, constantly making gripes about his lot.

 

He should really have won SOMETHING with that squad but could never get over the line which reflects badly on him and has yet to win a trophy as a manager. His only honours in his time at Spurs:

 

Individual

• Premier League Manager of the Month: October 2013, September 2015, February 2016, April 2017
• London Football Awards Manager of the Year: 2018–2019

 

CL qualification could be a real challenge, which i think might be a major factor in sacking to try to give soneone 6 months to turn it around, and luckily for you most big teams are also struggling this season . Go out and get the fat Spanish Bank Manager for <deleted> sake - he's a winner and will turn that squad around.

 

 

Longest serving PL managers are now Howe, Dyche, Klopp, Pep then Nuno Espirito Santo.

^^ yeah the squad/team has no matter what formation/ shape poch used,its had a stale feeling.. and given that  the <deleted> poor prem form stretch's way bac to b4 last xmas ..him going,  it shouldnt really be a surprise.. coldly.. it could be argued given the average life of a prem manager   he's been lucky to keep his job for so long.     so   wot next for the mighty spurs?    murry .. i hope not  he goes against ALL our traditions.   howe ?  the norwich manager .. farke ?   or one of the italian boys?  levy  recent history of pickin managers is pretty decent.. so  we  will see

[deej]

Mourinho will certainly replace Poch  Very  Shortly

Levy and Mourinho.

The Odd Couple

But

The opposite attracts????
