Nothing funy about relegation mate, been there, seen it.
Who do you think Spurs are liable to be beating in the near future Sizzle?
How did you scrape a draw at Arsenal? I’m sure they would say they were more likely to have scraped a draw

By the end they were holding on. If either team was going to win it would of been Arsenal.

True
But in typical Spursy fashion we were in control and then conceded a stupid goal before half time. Draw was fair
Change the record Sandy for facks sake

Spurs were lucky VAR ruled out an Arsenal winner, Spurs were overrun 2nd half.
I think Sandy is right... we really do have to worry about potential relegation.
We have not won away since last January...we have lost more games & have the worst form of any of the sides in the premier league..
The players have lost all their confidence,have run out of ideas, not playing with pace etc..
It’s all whole mixture of things.. player contracts, players not pressing anymore... I also believe that these players think they will never win anything at Spurs... after losing so many semi finals, cup finals & finishing runners up & third..
Poch definitely needs to get rid of the under performers in January, as well as bringing a couple in... that’s if he’s still there in Jan!
Definitely very worrying times at Spurs... no doubt about it!! ☹️

Billy, merely laying out what is in front of us all. Come back to me in March/April mate, and let`s say who is correct.
Thus far lots of backing for the manager, but absolutely not a clue from any of the posters, of how the form is going to change. Just hoping it will change is a long way from it actually changing.
This time last year we were winning the quad, now we are certs for bottom of the league.
How can he change the record, it's the only one he's got ).

Football changes mate, it don`t hang around, last year pre Xmas Spurs were flying, now they are playing rubbish. It is all about the here and now, not what happened 12 months ago.
When I first started supporting Spurs they were bottom of the old first division, two years later they won the double. Football has a habit of changing things very, very quickly, be warned. Same in 1970s, Spurs went from a European winning team to relegation in a matter of four or five seasons.

I am glad some see what is going on at the moment. The form is horrendous, and showing no sign of any upturn in the future. I say it as I see it. Others may prefer to think it would be unthinkable for Spurs to be fighting relegation, but the bare facts are that Spurs are in relegation form, and have been for 10 months now. Come Xmas time or thereabouts the relegation battle will be in full swing, make no mistake about that.
We might be complete carp at the moment but to suggest we will get relegated is madness
There is still at least 10 teams worse than us in this league and we will still finish above West Ham which is standard I know 😀.
Don’t get me wrong put away form has been toilet for to long and now it’s creeping in at home. I still have faith that we be ok though I don’t expect we will get anything at Liverpool next week a positive result Tuesday will help , I expect us to beat a poor Belgrade side.

We will flaunt the dreaded bottom 3 position and by the skin of our teeth we will end up 4th from bottom.
How the hail do I know, none of us do, but don't be deceived by our current 7th position. Look below us...
We share 12 points with 3 other teams making us joint 10th...
Then we have 11, 11, 10, 10, 9, 9 meaning any one of the NINE teams below us win next week if/when we lose at Anfield will be above us...
That's right, we are only 4 points from bottom 3...
And we couldn't even beat the only team without a win yesterday. The absolute worst team in the PL and we were embarrassingly incapable. But hey, I guess it wasn't as humiliating as losing to Colchester or receiving our worst ever home defeat in our history against Bayern. We managed to get a draw. Maybe we have already hit rock bottom.
Question to you now, what will the score be at Anfield next week?

The biggest problem i have with Poch and the current group of players is that we are totally one dimensional. It doesn't seem to matter which players he picks we play the same way. There's no imagination in midfield, no thought to ever do the difficult thing, beat a man and Drive forwards. With no pace in wide areas ( flying FBs was always Poch's mantra) there's never any quality delivery from wide areas. Sure the CBs are getting older but games are being lost in the middle of the park. Winks and sissoko have ZERO business in what should be a Top 4 side. Both decent enough players but nowhere near good enough.... it's the reason why the links of Kane Sonny, moira, dele etc are so inconsistent.... they always get the ball in Shlt areas because in takes our CM to get the ball moving forward with any degree of quality. GLC better be some player because as the players are getting older/ lacking motivation... poch is getting found out as nothing more than a one trick pony. Improve the tactics, urgency and develop a different way of playing Poch or fack off and let us move on with someone different because quite frankly they couldn't possibly do any worse both in terms of results and performances

Absolutely nailed it.
There are signs of dressing room discontent surfacing. Reading between the lines, Pochettino put out an interview lauding the fact that he'd been invited to a dinner by the players. It was a kind of "we're all on the same page" announcement.
If he felt the need to do that, then I conclude he's feeling some heat.
But its not all bad: In the first half of that Bayern game I thought at one point we might actually win it. This squad can play well!
But there was a shambolic defensive let down in the second half.
In the Watford game we bloody well could and should have won it. Watford are actually not such a bad team, and they parked the bus damned well.
And Pochettino had such an attacking set up that a sucker punch was always likely, and it happened.
He is tactically naive.
And the other side of the coin is Levy .... we really did need Dybala. He would be a terrific complement to Son and Kane. Levy's unwillingness to accept the marketplace as it currently exists has put an aging squad on the cusp of a mid-table mediocrity.
We must hope that Lo Celso will turn into a dynamic Eriksen, but given what I've seen of him, its doubtful.
Perhaps NDombele will be a Sissoko that can score?
And Sessignon .... what can he do for this team?
Something has to change.
Sandy wants Pochettino out.
I want Levy and Lewis out .... sell up to an ambitous billionaire, and go.
