I was quite disappointed when Yanited equalised. Not so much because they got an extra point, more so because a West Ham win would really have put the shits up Spurs fans.

I was disappointed on both counts. I think Spurs fans will still have the shits up them, when did they last win a domestic match?


They look a broken team, heading in the wrong direction (well, right direction for everyone else). Leeds and West Ham are going the other way, have something about them and picking up points. Only Forest can save them.

I’d like to see spurs go down. It will allow the blues to see what life in the lower leagues will be like with a 60,000 seater stadium

The BBC are now covering the hairy twat* story with the added Simon Stone piece thrown in.

*Although he has raised some good money for charity from it, he still supports Manure.

Yeah, the issues look deeper than the manager. Now watch them appoint Ryan Mason and prove me wrong.

Tim Sherwood is surely due another go at some point.

The winter Olympic are half way through.
There must be a ski instructor job waiting for him over there, surely ?

And De Zerbi has just left Marseille. Spuds bound ?

Sounds like it.

Spurs fan on radio sounds on the verge of tears and convinced they're going down.

Probably do a Wigan and go down, but win the FA Cup.

Oh...

De Zerbi sacked after losing 5-0 to PSG and 3-0 to Brugge which knocked them out of CL by 1 goal. Sounds perfect for Spurs.

If only there was an "Other clubs managers thread" where we could discuss this.

Under Frank Brentford had no structure, they were difficult to play against ( dirty niggly bstads) and through excellent recruitment had some very good players.
He has been found out. Although they have had a pretty tough time with injuries.
He will end up back there when Andrews gets a bigger job.
