Well that was a long & expensive weekend… Honestly don’t know what to say about Spurs anymore….. actually nothing, coz lets be honest they are pretty much irrelevant in the big scheme of things. The stadium feels like a big fancy entertainment venue designed to fleece the punters. The atmosphere was dull with supporters resigned to their fate, Its all fake optimism “it’s better than it was" or “we’re building for the future"…zzzzzz.
Couple of thoughts…..
125mln quid spent on Solanke & Richarlison……. Just think about that for a second !
Romero playing like a guy with a move to Madrid next summer on his mind.
What does Bentancur actually do ?
Madders looks like a guy who now thinks he made it coz he plays in a big stadium in front of 60K for a club with a big reputation.
Sonny… I love him but he aint no captain, his best years are behind him. Fergie would have sold him this summer and gone after Eze. Spurs will probably give him a new contract coz he’s a “legend"
Its Obvious Ange is out of his depth. It took the Prem 10 games to figure him out. It’s been dire ever since. The stubbornness is at the point where it’s just embarrassing now. “We don’t need a set piece coach", Its not who we are mate… we’ll in that case we’d better stop conceding corners !!! Can anyone else remember the last time Spurs ground out a good result ? Would realizing we were never gonna score and just take a 0-0 and move on not have been a good idea ????
Levy still being Levy and whether its him or others, buying young players and not playing them just smacks of deals that in his mind are good for business but no help for the here and now. Maybe someone should let Spurs know that successful teams buy players for the future but you have to actually have to achieve something in the present to justify it.
Other than replacing one bang average striker with another at a huge cost…. NOTHING has changed and the results highlight the fact.
There gets to the point where you just can’t take Spurs seriously anymore, whether you are positive about them (you just look a fool) or negative (it’s just like banging your head against a wall)
Other than the optimism we all feel 10 Mins before kick-off (until you realize how much its cost you) I honestly don’t know why we bother
It’s got to the point where the most entertaining about Spurs is “what will the next chapter of this car crash look like"…. Southgate, The Glazers, Sean Dyche, changing to kit to red to appease some Chinese investor ?, Ryan Mason (again)…….. I’m not sure Levy & Co have much left in their “arsenal" to disappoint me with.
Don’t think Ange is the answer but unless there is change at the top I don’t think it really matters who the manager is….. Reckless & Naïve Vs defensive & pragmatic….. Nothing changes…. No Success but the money keeps rolling in
Anyway….. Here’s to a stiff G&T and a long flight home
What a Lovely weekend

I think some of you are talking yourselves into Ange getting sacked or on borrowed time. It's weird. Simmer down. Plenty of football to come. You could be right but a loss to Newcastle away and Woolwich could be expected. The dropped 2 points away to Leicester was unexpected but somehow that has set the tone for the rest of the games bar Everton.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s faaaack all weird about it. Not beating Leicester had the alarm bells ringing. Beating Everton convincingly settled things and I don’t think people were too twitchy after Newcastle given we were by far the better side and it was a huge improvement on the last 2 trips there.
But yesterday - Arsenal missing their best player and we do t lay a glove on them and once again concede to our old friend the set piece - alarm bells are fully ringing now.
The next 4 league games look brutal to me - I would not be shocked if we only took 3 points - at which point, is Levy going to be able to resist the eject button if we’re sat there with 7 points from our opening 8 games and looking miles off Europe let alone the CL.

Not sure you can say Spurs never laid a glove on Arsenal they dominated every stat, except the one that mattered, goals scored. I was more disappointed with how poor Arsenal were yesterday, yet they still manage to exploit Spurs major weakness, set piece corners to steal the match. Spurs were not great, but they should never gave been beaten yesterday in a game where even Saka went missing.
Ange though is in big danger because football is a results business, and if you don't get them, you don't last long

What chance should we have scored Sandy? That’s what I meant about not laying a glove on them.
Yeah we had loads of possession - in safe areas and did diddly faaaack all with it.
15 shots, 7 on target and the keeper barely broke sweat
Once again, we fell asleep at a corner.
Forgive me, but I’ve seen it all before - wake me up when the new broom is in

Levy has turned Tottenham Hotspur Football Club into a footballing irrelevance, all we do is go round and around on Levy`s roundabout of sporting incompetence and failure.
True fans are being turned off by the cost and the clown show ownership, and replaced with tourists and affluent happy clappers.
I actually think Ange would do alright if he had been given the players he actually asked for, but there is no way he asked for a load of not ready kids and Solanke, those are club signings 100%.
Ange is too much of a yes man to complain or kick up a fuss..... a dream manager for Levy after Conte told us all exactly how it is.
This club desperately needs new owners.
Levy out.

You said Spurs never laid a glove on Arsenal. That says to me you think Arsenal completely dominated the game. They were poor, and if they play like that at City, they will get a drubbing. Spurs gifted them the game once world class Romero once again went missing at a corner.

Well I’ve already explained what I meant by that - I meant we never looked like scoring, we didn’t lay a glove on them or cause any issues.
We had loads of possession but it was all meaningless - Arteta was happy for us to have the ball as he knew we would do faaaack all with it, yet they looked very threatening when they came forwards and Arteta had even said pre kick off he fancied his side at set pieces.
They will get beaten at City - but who cares, we look like we’re gonna be competing with the likes of West Ham and Fulham this season for a top half finish.
We’re rubbish, proper rubbish
