The US is close to an institutional collapse across multiple public health agencies. Trump/RFK have purged anyone with expertise, many have fled and they’ve been replaced w functionaries who are either incompetent or malicious. I don’t think many understand how close to the edge we are right now.

Ange proved himself to be the most pragmatic of managers. The PL season was toast by the new year. We were out of the domestic cups, so he concentrated on the only thing we could win.

This season we have at least addressed a lot of the holes in the squad, so less of an excuse.

Even if he did explicitly say not to worry about the league, that's more on Levy and the board for having no plan for years.

If anything, instead of beating Ange with "17th" stick, we should look at how much courage it took to give Levy the v when he was obsessed with league position over glory.

Who led the charge for this loser to be our manger?

Unbelievable. I just tried to watch the presser…how dare he take a swipe at what the manager and players achieved last year especially given the injury crisis.

How dare he say we shouldn’t have high expectations.

Go back to Brentford—GTFO

This is a bit of a trough in the Spurs journey. On the back of winning the Europa and then sacking a manager with an attacking focus, a winning record, and a defender off the club. Here we are fearing home games against Fulham. This is worse for me than the Conte or Mourinho days. #COYS

We won the fucking Europa League. We earned the right to compete in the CL.

We weren't relegated, ergo we won the right to compete in the PL.

He didn't. He inherited that right and now he doesn't think Spurs deserves it?

How is he so bad at this?
Exactly how far does he need to fuck off?

This. THIS. ***THIS***

Ange dragged us across the line in Europe, writing excused absence notes to take kids out of school to play matches. There was a *belief* and a *unity* there that I don't know that I can see now. It's night and day thinking of late last season or even early this season vs now
The main reason we finished 17th last season was catastrophic lack of squad depth. We fixed that this past summer. Now some of our fans are saying our players are shit so they don’t have to admit they were wrong about last season and about Frank. I see you.

YEARS we went without a sense of belief in the team. Ange totally overhauled the culture, told them they could do it, made them all believe it, and they won.

That's gone, in less than 6 months.

English football just hates Ange. People are easily swayed by cultural prejudices and truisms about what ‘pragmatic’ or ‘attacking’ football is.
