Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton 26/12/17 - 12:30 Boxing Day Beat Down

If those good players played well we wouldn't be where we are.

 

Yep, but the average ones don't get head hunted.

 

Well I want the club to do as well as it can. It gives me pride when we do well. It’s a passion. I also like being in the top league. We’ve made a bad appointment, why give someone a season when it clearly isn’t working.

 

I doubt anyone genuinely wants to get relegated. But the PL is a rigged game. If it was a casino, you'd have to be an absolute mug to play at any of the tables.

 

In response to the rotation comment; I meant changing players that done well, like Austin. And his persistence on playing Redmond instead of youth. When was the last time we played a young player excluding today? I still have faith in that.

 

We've made two "bad" appointments now. Maybe it's not the manager. Like I say, I really love Saints. But we're not amazing... Anyone who believes that needs a reality check. The club/ board speak up when we do well but when we're bad like now we hardly hear much news from them - apart from buying tickets for the next match day where our season will change

 

Yup, agreed on that.

 

Been doing family stuff all day and only managed to keep track of the increasingly depressing scoreline. I am strangely looking forward to MOTD in a masochist way. It is becoming almost inevitable that changes in the leadership of the club will have to be made as the performances on the field and consequent results are looking more and more like those in the last few Lowe years. We have a new majority owner who has been conspicuous by his lack of action so far, and he must step in now, before it is too late to turn this season towards a more favourable outcome.

 

don't post very often
sorry but this clown needs to go
I think we need a new manager before the window opens and whoever that person is needs to be told that he will be given all the vvd transfer cash plus some on top to buy 2 or 3 decent players to help keep us where we should be
I do not want us to be playing the skates next season

 

as I'm here, I'd like to say; this goes a lot further than our "clown" of a manager. We're not great but if all responsibilities fall on the manager then the hierarchy get away with it...

 

So who's doing the United thread?

I nominate either @saintsfcfan or @fatletiss

Desperate times call for desperate measures and all that

 

I agree, especially Fats. If he could show us a return to his form of a couple of years back it would be most acceptable.

 

hopefully our new owners will invest and not asset strip

 

If we switch, offer 60m to the new guy, are we expecting instant turnaround? What if it gets to march and we are still hovering around relegation? Sack him as well?

 

Then we embrace the championship

I'm just glad Pulis has gone to Boro so I don't have to read loads of posters calling for him.

 

I did not think Puel was a bad appointment IMHO, he did well with an average squad.

 

I vote for Fats! I feel my magic dust hasn’t quite made an impact recently.

 

I’ll see if I can get one up tomorrow...

Then I’ll do a thread to celebrate

Unless someone beats me to it.

 

Good man... I just hope it's a better result than your last effort for a United match

**** I didn't think this through nominating you too
