Wolfcastle Posted Friday at 21:10 Share Posted Friday at 21:10 (edited) They're a club that's always got half a mind on the beach anyway, its why they always are what they always are compared to the real big boys of any era, but this has been ridiculous. It was so predictable. Our taking the second half of the season off under Ashley when safe by Christmas was the most miserable pathetic thing I'd seen but some pride and professionalism would still break out by law of averages in one or two games. Not with these. Edited Friday at 21:13 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted Friday at 21:35 Share Posted Friday at 21:35 Already lost more games than we did either time we were relegated from the PL and have now lost as many as we did when finishing rock bottom in 88/89 and probably more by the time they've played Brighton.

The Bonk Posted Friday at 23:20 Share Posted Friday at 23:20 I was impressed with their 17th position and positive goal differential. Then I found this: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/may/05/theknowledge.sport Which had this little tidbit: Quote "Manchester City completed an awesome double in 1937-38," says Ian Kay. "Not only did they become the only team ever to be relegated with a positive goal difference, they also became the only team ever to be relegated the year after being champions. As if that wasn't enough, they went down after falling five places on the last day of the season - and despite being top scorers in the whole division." That's worse than Leicester's recent plight.

ExiledGeordie Posted Saturday at 05:38 Share Posted Saturday at 05:38 I can’t see Postecoglou lasting there. He’s got no idea how to organise a defence, seemingly no plan B and is just a grump thesedays with any journalist and any questions which are even mildly critical. He’s become a bore too.

Geordie_once_removed Posted Saturday at 06:08 Share Posted Saturday at 06:08 I'm kind of amazed he's lasted this long. I predicted his sacking since the 4 nil humping last year where I first saw the slumped hangdog "What do I do now mate?!?" body language that has been virtually an ever present this season. I think the injuries in the first half of the season have saved him as they masked his failings and by the time they cleared up it was unquestionable he was the problem it was that time of the season where it was really hard to get someone better. Levy gets a lot of hate from Spurs fans but I don't see him doing a Moyes-esq manager replacement where partially mitigate the current issue but essentially extend the real problem by 18 months. Anyway it really fucks me off that one of Spurs or Man U will be in the Champions League next year while one or more of us, Villa and Forest will miss out (if Man City and Chelsea miss out I'll be totally fine with that).

Holloway Posted Saturday at 07:06 Share Posted Saturday at 07:06 If the roles were reversed and we had a final in less than a week with nothing to play for in the league, would anyone bat an eyelid if we fielded a weakened side in a fixture a few days before? One where a win would help a cartel club reach CL qualification Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted Saturday at 07:19 Share Posted Saturday at 07:19 Not that scared of Spurs even if they were to win and get CL. Hard to deny that Man Utd is a huge sleeping giant. We really dont want them to get momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago It's strange really , Spurs are always going to spend more than us due to PRS and players are likely always choosing London over Newcastle but I just don't see Spurs as a big threat to us long term. I see the 5 big clubs and even Villa as a much bigger threat in the coming years . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Was saying during the season to my spurs fan brother in law, why the hell is Ange whining about injuries and yet still setting up with suicidal defensive high lines etc. of you haven't got the players available then you have to dig in and become hard to beat and ride it out for awhile until you can go toe to toe with teams again. Fans aren't all dumb, they would give you some slack to do that if circumstances require it. Just like we did during our injury crisis last season. We definitely abandoned our high press etc during that bad period and then when we got players back we were still within touching distance to attack the final games and we managed to take 7th. The way he just sacked off the league was pretty poor. But the way they camped in last night and just made themselves defensively solid is exactly what he should have been doing in the league. I hope they keep him as while I think they will improve next year, his preferred style will still see them lose more game than they should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
