    When the going go tough, Leicester City ground out win after win. Spurs could not cope with it and lost their bottle, in spectacular fashion.

    Now we've won the Premier League and are Champions of England, we've switched our attentions to the Champions League. We've got a quarter final against Sevilla to look forward to. Who do you play in the next round of the Champions League?

    I'll repeat, he's far better than both, and you know it...

    Given what he inherited, neither of those two would have achieved what he's done so far.

    You don't understand what you are talking about.

    Poch has got you to the CL once and didn't even make the group stages. Redknapp got you to a QF. It might not be much, but currently he has achieved more.

    Both have won **** all with Spurs though.

    He's literally achieved nothing, that's the point.

    You can repeat it as much as you like.

    Until poch wins something then juande ramos is the more successful manager.

    Until poch goes further than the QF in the champions league, then redkapp is the more successful manager.

    You might want to go and check that again <laugh> over the past couple of decades he's won 3 titles and 6 FA cups including 2 doubles.

    You've ****ed it up again, haven't you ?

    He's not won anything yet, granted. But he's taken us to a position of being genuine title contenders both last year, and again this.

    Something neither Redknapp nor Ramos came close to...

  8. Redknapp never had us challenging for the title. Poch is doing it for the second time in his second season.

    He's achieved in both the team he has built, and how he has turned them into credible title challengers. Something neither of those two came close to.

    But, we're going around in circles.

  10. When was the last time Wenger won the title?

    When did he win anything in Europe?

    Come on, Chuckles! I want an answer!

    I'll give you a clue.

    It was well within the last 'couple of decades' <ok>

    Pochettino hasn't come close to winning it either.

    Redkapp and your players used to come out frequently and say that you were title challengers. <laugh>

    A lot closer than those two.

    And, we're title challengers again this year.

    He never got close, even with three world class players.

    Neither has poch. We were closer last season and we were still 10 points behind Leicester.

    Poch is a promising young manager, nothing more at the moment. When Arsenal moved from Highbury we had several years of promising young teams, but they didn't win anything, as you spuds used to delight in telling us.

    It's the same with poch. He has potential, but he hasn't achieved anything yet. When he starts winning trophies then you can start talking about his achievements.

    Isn't it Poch's third season? You spent most of his first season slagging him off.

    Conte has taken Chelsea to the top in one season, with a squad you said were ageing and finished compared to Spurs

  19. Correct. He joined in May 2014. The club, of course, was in a bit of a state, not least due to Levy's revolving-door managerial policy up to that point.

    I don't think anyone can expect Poch to have done anything with the club, in that first season.


    I most certainly did not! Nor do I recall any other Spurs fan slating him. Most of us had been hugely impressed with what he'd done for Saints, and we were all willing to give him time to make his mark at Spurs. He has more than fulfilled the faith we all put in him.


    The two situations are hardly comparable.

    Chelsea had been mis-managed in the season before Conte and the club had hugely under-achieved. Any half-decent manager could have done what Conte has done, not that he's done anything yet.
