Tottenham Hotspur fan. Habe patientiam.

My family have been Spurs since the beginning, when our colours were navy blue, and we played on Tottenham marshes.

Reminds me of the ass end of the Conte era when everyone was begging for Stellini to abandon the accursed 3atb. He switched to a 4atb and promptly lost to Newcastle 6-1. Side didn't know how to play the system.
Enjoy the NLD? #DidYouNotice how Arsenal completely dismantled the Spurs back five...?

Everyone is mid apart from Arsenal (who are good) and Wolves (who are bad). That's a comfort, no?

This is not a great sign.

A know a lot of people smirked and mocked the previous manager's oratorical skills, but I think being able to motivate a side before a match is a hugely underrated quality and, seemingly, missing now.

1) Here's a quick statistical check-in. Even as our opponents continue to miss big chances against us at a higher than normal rate (81%), our average xGA is 1.39 and our xGD is -5..28. To put that in perspective...

This is a great little analysis with JJ. OhSoSpurs are not gratuitously negative and always reasonable, trying to find the positives. Not many to find after that NLD, unfortunately.

The folks at 5 Live breakfast had me on this morning to talk about the NLD a bit. Along with an Arsenal fan. I spoke mostly about patience and the need for stability and investment at Spurs. Many might not agree with me but it was quite cathartic!

Don't think yesterday could realistically have gone any worse for Frank (other than things really unravelling at 3-0). To go in with that approach in that fixture and for it fail so badly is an instant deal-breaker for a lot of fans. Esp as the players looked so uncommitted.

Good DoFs get things done. Bad ones repeatedly don't.
🚨 Mikel Arteta: “Our director Berta was excellent in delivering Eze, because at the moment, we are missing Gabriel, Havertz, Gyökeres, Jesus, Ødegaard… Martinelli & Madueke just came back, so thanks God we have a lot of players!”.

[Opta]'s expected points table has us at 17th, overperforming our xG by 8.8, our xGA by 3.1, and our points by 5.1

Before this season started, what were Tottenham fans' expectations for what would constitute a good campaign, given the changes?

I think while expecting a transitional, difficult season was hopeful of a top-7 finish and a serious cup run, with a strong Jan-May showing. Still could have that. #COYS

”I’m a very big believer that no matter what system you play you can be successful”

Erm, Thomas, that's not what you said in your job interview, mate...

Not just our worst performance of the season, but arguably our worst performance in a decade.

How many Spurs podcasts this week are going to be titled “Doubting Thomas”, or some variation on this theme?

I’d say at least two.
