It seems such a shame that a person whom is apparently such a huge Spurs fan through and through deems the ending to this season to be an acceptable one, if Poch had stayed and things turned around, we can't say whether it would have or not, would you have afforded him the same praise. I have to ask if you're a true fan of Tottenham anymore, I know you might have been once, however now it seems you're just a fan of Jose, when he leaves will you support that team instead?

I really am struggling to understand your logic of 'Poch was working with international players and should've been getting the best out of them,' which has now become, 'Mourinho has performed a masterclass working with championship level midfielders.'

Unless sir you are not of sound mind, (supporting Spurs does that to us) surely you must be trying to get under peoples skin. For a septuagenarian I'm certain you can think of better ways to spend your twilight years?

I am and always will be a huge Spurs fan, you don`t have to doubt that. What I don`t do though is sentimental tosh, and going silly over a manager that had five years and won SFA. A change was needed, and a change is what we got. Deal with it fella.

The bottom line is Jose has secured European football, zero chance of that happening if Pochettino had been kept on, he hadn`t won away for months for a start, and Spurs were getting turned over at home by some of the worse sides in the Prem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
how can you say it wasn't happening though?? We've said enough times we were so close to 5th despite being 14th...and things could only get better ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No we were 14th, and now we are in European football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
the same distance away from 5th as we finished the season

season doesn't end in November

We're playing some very sixthy football under him, just like when he was at United.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Expect us to finish 2nd, win the FA cup and EL league.

I will hold my hands up and even create a wahl account if we do even one of those things next season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I genuinely think we can finish second. But once we're out of our Europey group, who knows.

An article from a Spurs supporter that is happy Spurs secured European football for next season. Unfortunately lots of doomsters on the board, that are a bit unhappy about that it seems.

It was all about the results today, how Spurs played was completely irrelevant. They did what they had to do.

Yes mate. Chelsea need work done on their defence to have a shot and Lampard still very raw as a manager. Got some amazing attacking talent lined up though, good midfield too.

United im still not sure on but I would say the top 4 would be looking the same next season

So you're telling us you can predict all possible outcomes of what could be or what might be, well I'd love to know what the lottery numbers are. If you were to say five years and a manager won't win a trophy most people would not be to happy with that.

Though to boost a clubs standing in the league and breaking the glass ceiling to the top four (especially when you have Levy as the chairman) is no mean feat. I wouldn't call it being overly sentimental for fans to be grateful for what Poch did, a bad third of one season shouldn't determine that and make him this terrible manager you deem him to be. It's just showing gratitude for the job he did, we are a bigger club because of the work he did.

I'm curious would you have swapped Mourinho's tenure at united for what Poch did while with us and why?

I can see next season being a completely different season. Spurs and United will not have such bad starts I wouldn`t think.

Seasons very rarely replicate each other.

I never quite get the nonsense about teams having to make up 30/40 points from one season to the next. No they don`t, every team starts off next season on a level playing field pointswise.

Two teams in the last half a dozen years have finished bottom half of the table, and gone on to win the title the following year.

What did Poch win with Spurs. I do wish supporters would just move on. Top Four finishes only mean something if you actually add trophies or win the CL. Spurs under Pochettino did neither.

Please just move on. He is gone, and he aint coming back.

You also cannot say with any certainty he would have got Spurs European football this season either. So I don`t quite get your point.

Pleased we got European football, which I could not see happening, even a month ago, but........

Why do we continue with the same predictable format:

1. Start well
2. Go in front
3. Instantly move the whole team 30 yards back
4. Give initiative to the opposition and hope for the best.

I mean, we were playing a team that are inferior both on paper and the pitch, are on a 7 game loosing streak. At 1-0, a good team would press home the advantage, but all we do is try to win the "how many back passes" cup and the "how many passes across the back 4" cup. And we are not even any good at it.

Got to change this style of play next season, or will just get more of the same as this year.

Well its quite simple, you clearly state that there was zero chance of that happening with Poch, you state this as an absolute certainty, when mathematically it was still very much possible. I'm not saying its an absolute guarantee he would've got us European football, but to say he definitely wouldn't get it is incorrect.

To be fair mate, I am sure Jose will change it next season. He did what he had to do to get European football for next season. He will know who he needs to replace for next season I am 100 per cent sure of that.

We were lucky in the end we got the 6th place. Palace had a pretty good chance to seal the win without us doing absolutely anything at the other end of the pitch.

Just like you can't either, using your logic I too could be childish and say well Poch would've definitely got top four and champions league and you can't prove me wrong. Though I'm mentally capable of understanding that is no guarantee. To congratulate the current manager, for doing a job with terrible championship level players all the while claiming them to be international footballers under the previous manager, makes you look very silly and not a fan of spurs but a fan of jose or a fan of being anti-poch, either way if that's how you choose to spend your seventies, I feel a great deal of pity for you old boy.

Limited footballers such as Sissoko at the heart of our team is the main problem, he drags Winks down with him. Sissoko ruins every single attack he is involved in by failing to make the correct pass or passing 5 yards backwards or sideways, and when he does venture into the attacking 3rd it always ends in tears.

We used to have great players in central midfield, Modric, then Dembele, we have regressed massively now.

Some of those touches from Sissoko were laughable. Players like he and Aurier just seem destined to have these clumsy moments their whole lives.

Wasn't that impressed with Dele when he came on either.

Did you want to walk us through those recent events Sandy

Sissoko seemed to have injured himself but Jose refused to sub him earlier and then he pulled up at a pivotal moment that could have cost us a goal.

Aurier is just ridiculous, has a costly mistake in him every game. Had a good game on the whole today but you just can't accept his errors at this level. Today, their goal from a corner which they never should have had but he facked around with the ball and gave one away.

Cba with him, davies has well has been really poor since the restart tbh. Teams can easily walk through our midfield and also to the byline and enter the box.
