It’s the hope that kills you.
You write a very good obituary Sandy.
You still could win it as all 8 teams left are bang average. Only Bodo Glimt take any kind of advantage into the second leg ties. The other 3 games ended all square. We played Bodo Glimt in the group stage too and they were bang average.
id be pretty stunned if United dont win the Europa
no matter how bad they are doing and the noise around them, they salvage something from most seasons

Be very Spursy that they had the chance to meet a Nowegian side in a European semi final for a place in their first European final in over 40 years , and they then mess up the QF.
This squad is just not playing any kind of controlling football.
They just gave the center of the field away to Wolves.
God knows what Maddison and Sarr and Bissouma thought they were doing.
Maddison seems to take a rest every few minutes. Spence was the only one putting in 100% effort in Midfield.Vicario had a night off from goal keeping.
Its a disjointed performance and I think the manager is to blame.
If you think this lot can win in Frankfurt...Good luck!

One of Spurs worse players was Romero, Ted, along with the goalie. Both 1/10 or maybe 0/10.

Why is Ange absolved from blame?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because he doesn't actually play. May as well blame the supporters as well. He picks the players. They don't perform. They make the basic mistakes every match.
To many players vastly overrated by our fanbase.

why dont we have better players then?
manager and recruitment team/chairman have bad taste in players and get it wrong? also manager is unable to get more out of players who have performed better previously
Too many kids not good enough senior players

Funny how Ange is absolved of blame because he doesn't actually play but Poch is to blame for the lack of success during his period. Try and make that make sense in Sandy's world.

Was about to write the same thing. The hypocrisy is just astounding. So much so that I KNOW he knows it's all bullshiiiit. As Bales said, he's just on a wind up and we fall for it every single time. I freely admit I bite more than most. Maybe it's just time to ignore him if he's not going to bring rational arguments to the table.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, had you watched the match ...Romero was Spurs best player until minute 64 when he made a really idiotic blunder trying to roll the ball right to the keeper instead of simply putting it out of play on the left.
He got picked off!
And he damned well knew it was a blunder.
I think he may need a little sports psychology before playing again.
But that does not make him a bad player, Sandy.
It makes him a big headed idiot who thinks he can do anything at Spurs. He's had his lesson.

Pochettino had five seasons. Zero excuse. All managers since have had barely two. All can be absolved, other than Pochettino, who had more than enough time to land trophies. The fact that since he had left Spurs, he has also done next to nothing, makes him less than an average manager.

Curious, Sandy. Why do you think he got five seasons and the others only 2 on average?
Maybe, and hear me out on this, he worked miracles which justified a contract renewal that others never deserved. The clue about how good he was is clear in the length of time he served.
Another question - if you believe all other managers are absolved of blame, does that then mean that you're happy for Ange to get another season at least? Even though we could easily finish 17th this year?

He knows full well Poch did a good job and Ange is doing a bad job. He even wanted Ange out after the Coventry performance. We have the proof of it somewhere where he says he still wanted him out despite the win. No fan changes their mind about a manager they wanted out when the form only gets worse and worse. So he's obviously doing it for the attention/to be a contrarian/to wind us up. I admit I bite too but it's still kind of satisfying showing up his wrongs.

Finished 18th under Nicholson. Relegated under Burkenshaw. Completely irrelevant where Spurs finish. Could just as likely finish top three next season. That's how football works. So forgive me for not getting suicidal if Spurs finish 17th this season. New season starts in a few months. Could be completely different. Forest rugs season and Leicester a few seasons back proved that.
