Can we please stop going on about Poch. He is done and dusted. Five years won nothing. Oh a bit of glory at reaching a couple of finals, but bottom line is he won zilch.

Ange may still win a trophy. Prem form is patchy. But cup form has been 4/4 wins this season. Let's at least see how far Spurs go in the cups. I think they are definitely a cup team more than a league team right now. You don't have to be that good to win a cup. Man United have proved that over the past few years. Arsenal won three FA Cups when they were not finishing top four.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Will he get a chance to see out a cup competition if this league form continues though? Villa next, then City in a couple of games time. If we lose to Villa then the desire from fans calling for Ange's head will be loud. I guess it will come down to Levy's tolerance if league form does not pick up.

I don't know how much time I want to give Ange. I said before that I thought we needed a good unbeaten run since the Brighton game up to the City game and we've already lost to Palace. Again after the City game there's another chance to go on a decent unbeaten run for the rest of the year, but are we going to lose to Bournemouth soon after or someone?

I keep wanting Ange to get it going but we never do. A bad loss is always around the corner killing our momentum.

Spurs will beat Villa. The form home and away is like chalk and cheese. They are able to up their game at WHL, but just fall to bits away from it. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't beat City as well.

They are just clueless and weak away from WHL. No leaders.

This article is not me pizzing the bed before I get accused of that, the home form is good, Europa is good, the cup games in general have been good. But we need to man up away from home
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hand on your hearts, rose tinted spectacles off, have we really looked that good so far in the cup game (robbed Coventry who were by far the better team) and haven't blown away teams so far in Europe with performances that suggest we can win a cup in either of those competitions?

Our away form is a joke, 3 wins since last October, the character stinks in this team and that’s on Ange

Yeah it’s really shocking,I didn’t realise it was quite so bad.

It’s like we have a couple of decent performances and that papers over the cracks.

Though our league performances are poor I reckon we’ve got a great chance of winning the Europa League

Well you say that, and whilst I think we’ll easily qualify for the knock out stages, what happens when we face a team of quality who easily suss us out?

Or even a team of Brighton or Crystal Palace’s quality!

Sandy...remember you said this when Villa come to town!
Also, maybe the manager has something to do with leadership?

Yeah but we also lost to Arsenal at home, while we beat Man United away. No guarantees apart from that we seem to lose too often. We do seem to get unstuck by the good teams in the league as well (top 6 or so) so would not be surprised if Villa beat us.

Wouldn't be surprised if they don't beat City? At this point it's more a foregone conclusion we don't beat them and lose. Might even get our arris kicked 3 or 4 nil.
