17: Home loss vs Ipswich (1-2)
We could have gone third with a win. Went 0-2 down by half time, all badly defended. No Spurs player escapes a bollocking today—it was truly pathetic. How can we beat City and Villa and then lose to the 2nd or 3rd worst team in the Prem at home? It beggars belief.

16: Europa League: Away loss vs Galatasaray (2-3)
We didn’t need a result here, really, Forster looked sluggish. Most of the team couldn’t string a decent pass together. We only had one shot on goal in the first half and scored. Solanke got two goals, but apart from that, it was a match to forget.

15: Home win vs Aston Villa (4-1)
1st half: they were better than us and scored from a corner, limited us to long shots. Second half: Son delivered a lovely cross for a typical back-post finish by BJ. Solanke then scored his first 2 Spurs goals. Then a bending free kick from Maddison.

14: Carabao Cup: Home win vs Man City (2-1)
City had an injury crisis on top of playing mostly a B team, We just scraped through courtesy of Timo’s first goal of the season (at last!) and a lovely bending long shot from outside the box by Sarr we’re into the quarter-finals.

13: Away loss vs Palace (0-1)
Boring first half. Conceded again from an individual error. We had one or two chances, but they mostly blocked us in midfield. Frustrating match, the game stopped every 30 seconds. We gave up after we conceded a goal. We looked like we didn’t give a toss, to be honest.

12: Europa League: Home win vs AZ (1-0)
Very boring to watch apart from promising bits of play from Mikey Moore— Timo still can’t finish; it’s now embarrassing for him and the club. Son was still out, but Richarlison and Odbert are now ready to play a part.

11: Home win vs West Ham (4-1)
First half was usual Spurs—Porro ball-watched their goal. We pulled one back before halftime, luckily. Second half, Ange took off Maddison tactically and brought on Sarr, who is better defensively. It made a massive difference—three goals in seven minutes!

10: Away loss vs Brighton (2-3)
Spurs went 2-0 up in an excellent first half, with BJ scoring six in six games. 2nd half, we came out lazy and arrogant. Brighton came out firing and got 3 goals in 20 minutes. Our def crumbled. Ange didn’t help by not subbing in time. Devastating defeat.

08: Away win vs Man Utd (3-0)
Well, talk about a turnaround. Man U were total shite, though, and we had an xG of 5, so we should have scored more. A clean sheet and away win, wow. I don’t want to get my hopes up yet. You just know Spurs will kick you in the bollocks as soon as you get a hard-on.

07: Europa League: Home win vs Qarabag (3-0)
First clean sheet for a while and a solid win despite Spurs being down to 10 men after 8 minutes. Be realistic, though—their top player in their league is worth £3M, so we should have won even with five men left in the team. Slightly rotated squad.

I was ill, didn’t see it live, and couldn’t find the full match or decent highlights later. By all accounts, we did okay.

05: Carabao Cup: Won 2-1 away vs Coventry
We were shite until the 88th minute (not a single shot on goal), then we scored two in a few minutes (Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson as subs) mainly because Coventry weakened, and we were fitter. Played 70% of the B team to start. Not inspiring, but a win.

04: Home loss vs Arsenal (0-1)
We conceded from a corner again. We ponced around their penalty area again. We passed and crossed like shit. We had a few good chances in the first half. No excuses—Arsenal are a league better than us. We always let a goal in against anyone.

03: Away loss vs Newcastle (1-2)
I knew we wouldn’t win; we can’t win away matches, and Newcastle are one of our many bogey teams. We conceded two idiotic goals. We created a ton of chances but never scored as usual (our goal was an own goal—pathetic).

01: Away draw vs Leicester (1-1)
Very disappointing. We got low-blocked. 38-year-old Vardy had a hard-on for us and scored. There’s real hate there from him.
