The Tottenham Hotspur "Spiral" Watch

Erm, we're going in for both of them mate. Unlucky.

 

I've got a bet with @Hoddle Is A God that Kane will be off unless you win something next season.
I don't think he'll be the only one either unless you can win some pots.

 

Heartache | Spurs’ eight successive Cup semi-final defeats
April 3 1993, Tottenham 0 Arsenal 1:

Tony Adams heads the only goal as Arsenal get revenge for defeat to Spurs in 1991.

April 8 1995, Tottenham 1 Everton 4: Daniel Amokachi scored twice as Tottenham were blown away at Elland Road.
April 11 1999, Tottenham 0 Newcastle 2 (aet): George Graham's side conceded twice to Alan Shearer in extra-time at OId Trafford.
April 8 2001, Tottenham 1 Arsenal 2: Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires saw Arsenal through in what was to prove Sol Campbell's last game for Tottenham.
April 11 2010, Tottenham 0 Portsmouth 2 (aet): Portsmouth had been relegated 24 hours previously but still saw off Spurs thanks to Frederic Piquionne and Kevin-Prince Boateng.
April 15 2012: Tottenham 1 Chelsea 5: Harry Redknapp's side were thrashed at Wembley as Chelsea scored three times in the last 13 minutes.
April 22 2017: Tottenham 2 Chelsea 4: A thunderbolt from Nemanja Matic sealed Chelsea's win in a thrilling Wembley semi-final.
April 21 2018, Tottenham 1 Manchester United 2: Dele Alli gave Spurs the lead but Alexis Sanchez and Ander Herrera made it eight successive FA Cup semi-final defeats.

 

Do you think you’ll get both of them? Some sort of jobshare, maybe?

 

not sure if that is Poch's decision personally or Poch is just following orders from upstairs.
Not just Toby, what about Rose? Davies is decent but he ain't no Rose.

Rose was injured but is definitely being pushed out.

 

Spurs manager Mauricio Poncetto has hinted that he may not stay around to deliver the side their first trophy in a decade after they fell short again in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final. (Telegraph)

 

If it stops you getting one of them we might

Do you think Poch with chuck in the towel ? Seems a bit extreme to come out with that just after losing another semi final, maybe he was just being a bit emotional ?

 

Why do you persist in calling Mourinho ‘Judas’? We sacked the man twice FFS! Are you so ****ing stupid you can’t see that?

Ps Do you have a brother called Leslie?

 

They haven’t even got close to winning any of those semis either, let alone taken a side to pens.

Beaten comfortably in every tie

 

2 realistic league title chases lost, 2 FAC semi-final losses and a League Cup Final defeat in the space of 4 seasons. I wonder what that does to a manager's self-belief?

 

He’s got to be wondering whether he’s the right man to carry on after that. One thing is for sure, Real Madrid will be looking at that and thinking ‘he’s not the guy for us’ So maybe that will be to spurs’ benefit ? But then again if he can’t get you over the line, then maybe not.

 

And the players

 

Don't be silly....... It's never the players fault

 

Here's one for you........ Do you think Wenger, Conte or Mourinho would have got some trophies with the same set of players, on the same money, etc.?

 

Yes.

Wenger won 3 FA cups with arguably what was the weakest Arsenal team in two decades. Mourinho won the league cup and Europa league with a team whose option B was to hoof it to fellani. And Conte won the league in his first season, so I think that between them, they would have at least brought Spurs one trophy had they been managing your club over the last 4 years.

We've been told that this current crop of Spurs players are the most exciting players in the premier league and yet, they choke every time it comes to the crunch. Is that down to lack of talent, experience, coaching or mentality ?

 

They spend all their time diving and scoring offside goals. Then on big occasions refs refuse to give any decision that might be controversial so their plan A is useless.

 

To be fair they have played on some very dry pitches in appalling windy conditions.

 

Explains why Vorm let the ball go through him

 

Wish Spurs had won. Guaranteed win for us at Three Point Wembley.

However with United playing at lease the ground will be full for the first time this season

 

I may be going out on a limb here, but I think your squad is at least equal to ours (if not better) so yes, I think Wenger would probably do better than Poch has done. Maybe not win the title but he would have you winning the smaller trophies at the very least. But its hard to say.
