    I’m beginning to think he could get sacked if he doesn’t turn things around soon. This is as big a crisis as they’ve had since he went there.

    They're not going to sack him just after he's signed a new contract.

    Can't see that when he's just signed a new two year deal.

    I find it interesting that all of the big players who have been big parts of his success there were already at the club.

    Not convinced he can successfully rebuild the side.

    Not often that a striker arguably gets a 10/10 match rating without scoring.

    Mourinho's style may not be as pretty as Pochettino's, and he may not be a long term appointment but the man's a born winner. You want a trophy, he'll get you one. His appointment made perfect sense for Spurs who are desperate to win something. And now they've got every chance of a trophy this season.

    Can't lie, you have to look at them as contenders for a trophy now. Unbelievable performance and they have the ability to win games they shouldn't.

    Not wanting to mention our cup game there last season, as it reminds me what a great feeling away days are. But you know what I mean. We were sensational that night, and they still beat us. That's what Jose does

    He’s just emulating Sir Rickie Lambert.

    Pep is a charlatan but I think they’re only four points worse off from last season at the moment. Long way to go, but there’s issues.

    Jose is an absolute **** but he’s such a good manager. Nobody ever gave Alex Ferguson a trophy for being nice. Ferguson was a manager Roy ****ing Keane described as “too ruthless”. Jose has gone into a Spurs team that were just a bit short of something and given them an edge. They will certainly challenge the top this year.

    Keep Kane and Son fit and they've got a great chance of winning it imo.


    Feel dirty now...

    Said it on our board...he has surprised me tbf.
    Never wanted Pochettino sacked and didn't want him but always wanted to be wrong...hopefully he'll make me look a mug every week.

    Btw...keeping a clean sheet v City...even toon scored against us <laugh>

    The architects of City's recent success, Kompany and David Silva have not been replaced as it is almost impossible to replace players of that rare quality, even for clubs with deep pockets.

    Overturned, pretty similar to the Villa one earlier to be honest. Bruno does take the ball.

    He skims the ball very slightly. It's not an obvious error for me, there was a clear touch on the ball with the Villa one, nowhere near as clear with this one.
