    In Defence of Ange though, I will say his football actually makes watching spurs intriguing when you compare it to the last 4-5 abysmal years.

    They’ll look really good when they have all their players back, Son looks a mess without Kane / Maddison.

    Tottenham deserved to win the game but by having full-backs as central-backs it is normal that they lost

    We were pretty toilet in the first half, much better in the second. The offside trap worked well. I really don’t know how we won, all said, but I also don’t care :)

    How a month can change so much for a football team. That’s why you never get too excited this early.

    Idk man, When a spurs player gets Romero’d it’s a travesty, yet when Romero cleans out and bout kills someone it’s yeah but was a yellow mate, didn’t mean it!

    Romero does 10 Matty Cash tackles a game but thats fine with Spurs fans. Its not Cash fault that Bentancur is made of paper lmao wasn’t even a horrible challenge

    Okay lads time to rationalise why this loss was actually a good thing because of philosophy or something like that

    Almost as if when we lost 4 or 5 key starters and had to play the same old culprits under our previous managers, we start playing seeing the same problems.

      Villa is down 4 regulars as well, all 4 would be starters at least every other fixture at worst. (Mings, Buendia, Moreno and then Ramsey made his return today but isn’t fully fit yet which is why they gave him the late sub).

      Zaniolo was also out today for an unknown injury

      Don’t see us whining about it every damn second
