I think calling poch a class above on the basis of a few games and a season at Southampton is definitely jumping to conclusions far too early. Can't we enjoy the success for once without making huge claims.
--------
but its not a few games and a season at southampton
What about AVB's season at porto then?
what about it? yes it was impressive, but AVB failed to impress in the prem overall, whereas poch has impressed in the prem and abroad
anyway, this is a pointless argument, lets agree to disagree.
He didnt impress abroad.
I am not disagreeing with your statement, I am just fed up of seeing Spurs fans vastly overrate the team/manager over one or two good performances onlyt to be let down. I am not saying you are the worst culprit, far from it, I just think we need to realise that we have played 2 truly shocking teams and had no real barometer yet.

You said he had an exceptional record BEFORE US.
The club he managed BEFORE US was chel ski and they sacked him.
He did have a great record BEFORE chel ski tho
The point was to counter that of MoPo's record before Spurs, which isn't much better than AVB's was. Both had blips in their careers, plus surely the treble and one sacking is still a pretty impressive record to come into a club.

I have to agree with you but you have been on here long enough to know how things work.
One guy (whoever) scores two great goals for (whoever) and is now officially WC even if he never scores again and we should immediately buy him.
I actually think MP will be a very good manager for us but like you I will need to see a lot more games before I will shout his name from the rooftops.
4 wins against average opposition does not make us a top level side
Exactly
QPR where the most poorly organised club I can remember Spurs playing since the 5-0 win vs Newcastle under Harry.

You know how posters get carried away with things. Somebody even posted before todays games that city would not lose at the Etihad all season they were that good.

Glad you took it in the good humour it was intended
I thought it was going to be Chelsea who proved me wrong half way through the season, not fecking Stoke the day after
Thats why I hedge my bets and am very careful with my predictions

Dont act like a muppet some are getting carried away and you know it
yes, but i am asking who has called spurs a top level side, which is the direct quote you just made...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right let me just plough thru every article on here and copy and paste every comment that shows fans getting carried away.
Yeah right of course I will
And as we are being petty, childish and pathetic please show me where I said that ANYBODY had actually posted those words.
Oh I never actually said that anybody had posted that did I? No of course I never
I made an observation that 4 wins against average sides does not make us a top level side, I never attributed that claim to anybody did I?
Want another observation to dissect?
Half the posters on here are total idiots.
Do I have to find somebody that has actually said that for it to be true?
want another observation?
Some fools actually believe that Danny Wellbeck would be a decent signing
yes, but i am asking who has called spurs a top level side, which is the direct quote you just made...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Direct quote? Really? Look again sunshine
Some people cant even have a pop and get it right
grandspurs. calm down. you disagree, we get it, i get it.
you don't need to keep talking to yourself and then replying to yourself just to make a point
grandspurs. calm down. you disagree, we get it, i get it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
and you dont need to claim I have made a direct quote when as per usual you are full of crap
