Happy for him, would never have a bad word against him. I was happy that we replaced him though as he was turning into the villain and for what he did for this club, I didn't want him to carry on further and ruin the hard work that will forever make him one of our greatest premier league managers. I mean, who knows if we will ever get back to a champions league final....for that along he deserves the respect from us.

Feels a bit of a hollow win last night though, he has only been there for 2 weeks. I'm sure he will want to kick on in the league now, they've been a bit patchy but it's pretty much a 3 horse race, maybe Monaco, Rennes and Marseille can put together a run to make it more interesting but we will see.

Really happy he won just so he can get that chip off his shoulder. Obviously, the remit at PSG is to win the Champions league but this is a good start for him.

Nice to see him win a final. I liked his use of Neymar and did demeanour. Hope he has great success.

In retrospect I wish Poch actually had quit after the CL final, win or lose. His last five months really threatened to tarnish a brilliant five year legacy.

Yeah I think that final took a lot out of him and us really. It was the most exciting periods of our history and also the most crushing. But just to have got us there was one hell of an achievement that none of us would have ever thought could've happened.

Actually makes me happy seeing Poch happy. Can't say I've ever had that sort of attachment to any of our other previous managers.

Jol gets a lot of deserved love from us. He was the beginning of the end of the dark days, and brought the fun and love back.

Even Harry I have a soft spot for tbh. Pleat too. Hoddle naturally, but that's of course for a lot more than his management days.

But Poch really connected with the fans in a way that I haven't seen, nor felt, in my time supporting Spurs.

Love this man, it really gets to me that we went from a man who’s philosophy was to be brave to a man who throws players under the bus for trying anything. A man who says he didn’t ask them to defend deep when it’s clear players are shit scared of making a mistake in case they are thrown under the bus.

Please can we call this experiment a fail and find another manager that encourages players to be brave

How am I trolling? Jose flipped because Dele tried a flick!? Does that encourage players to be flamboyant? To go on the attack? No it encourages players to play sideways.... play backwards. Anything but lose the ball. It’s clear our players are playing like they are because they are scared of doing anything wrong.

Jose made a point out of Dele some time ago, no idea what that has to do with anything right now.

The highlighted part, are you suggesting we're playing possession football?

Nothing you've posted makes any sense if you watch the games ...

No I’m suggesting we don’t want the ball for fear of losing the ball. And when we do have the ball we don’t try anything apart from play backwards and sideways before our defenders hoof it long.

People seem convinced that we can’t enjoy football while winning trophies and it has to be either or when apart from Jose every other winning manager manages to combine the two.

I haven't seen us score many goals this season from long balls.

We have have enjoyed football and been potless for 13 seasons ... What's the harm in trying the other way?

Edit:

Why are you neg rating everything I am posting? I'll happily keep on reporting you for it, it's pathetic because it seems like you're totally on the wind up.
