    Classic games - highlights and chat

    I still believe that for 30 minutes we never played better football in this era; some of it was insanely beautiful. The goals were magnificent, well, 2 and 3. That second is one of the best goals I ever saw us score.We survived some serious aggro that day too...a glorious match. What a side...

    All true. What I would add is that the sheer magic of that journey -including the horrendously ugly bits- galvanizes players and staff alike. I will always wonder whether the blend of his style and resolution alongside the players total buy-in alongside their suggestions on modification to...

    Reposting the entry here and responding within it mate... With the current squad members we have to select from I've been thinking that the old Poch 4231 when Dier was CM but with the instruction to drop between the CHs (Jan and toby,) that pushed them wider and the FBs up might just be a...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    A priority for those of us who want Tottenham Hotspur to play attractive football!!!!! I don't believe the link BTW.

    Nope. In 2016/17, we had a manager who was putting out a side which were wonderful to watch and only conceded 26 goals in 38 league games. The season before was 35. It can be done and done repeatedly. A good start in this current set-up, IMO, would be to play the CBs higher up the pitch in...

    It's the holiday season! We have found total agreement on something here. Onwards my friend! p.s. I will say that if ever a modern manager deserved a second chance based on what they'd done, it was him. He had us three years ahead of anywhere anyone thought we'd be on the pitch. I still believe...

    I'll take a route too and apologise for my part in this thread's current downfall. BTW, it was a really intertesing intertvierw though, right?

    OK mate, that's your opinion. No issues there obviously. I DO have issues with ANYONE who tries to tell me why an unproven possibility is wrong. I see little point in continuing the conversation; you won't be remotely interested in contexts such as injuries, managing injuries, his knowing what...

    You have forgotten the switch in approach to win the Europa League. He changed his approach based on senior player input, and we won a trophy. Fact. Whether that would've translated to the Prem this season is the unknown. It appears you would rather ignore the above fact, and focus on the league...

    I commented on MVDV's observations. You patronised me with, among other things, being too emotional, and then told me why Ange would've failed when modification ended up with a trophy and whole squad buy-in. We have no idea what would've happened. You then went on about 'actions v words'. I...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Nope, that's just conjecture you're presenting as 'truth'. You can believe it would've happened but it is without any evidence.

    He was so stubborn that he didn't listen to anyone, right? So stubborn that we didn't grind that trophy out with opposite action? Words and actions indeed. The fact he did it in a competition we won is undeniable. And you tell me I 'need to divorce emotions from reality'? My view is a...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    Yes indeed, well we did that in the summer. Only Tottenham Hotspur could put itself through so much hard suffering, come out the other side with a big shiny trophy, and decide there was no potential in a winning group possibly using said-trophy as a quantum leap forward. Not only that, but then...
