Just to confirm the result of my experiments to find something less painful to do than watch Spurs.

Sticking a matchstick up my japs and lighting it was the surprise winner

Did you hold your penis and swipe the box, or hold the box and swipe your penis?

Romero, yes.
Royal, don't get it. Delivery is piss poor, spent most of the game ahead of Son, meaning Son was having to cover him. Runs into blind alleys. Not an upgrade on Aurier IMO.

Hojberg and Dier care. They are also very limited footballers. Not good enough.
On Royal, possibly - I'm in row 5 in the south stand so my view isn't as good as eksewhere in the stadium or on TV. Looked like he made a few nice runs and dribbles and bit positionally it's hard for me to make out

I disagree on hojbjerg, I rate him very highly

On Dier, I agree he's limited but then so are most centre backs. I see him as similar to dawson in that regard

The Moura sub, WTF was that all about? He never once tried to change what we were doing on the pitch. It was bizarre to watch.

Such a shame that after fans had to stay away as a result of lockdown, and the fact that we now have one of the best stadiums in world football, that we are delivering this shite brand of football on an almost weekly basis.

Don't know how we always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory..

We can pull of some blinders, but all too quickly revert to making us a laughing stock.

Be great if we could just break this cycle for a truly sustained period.

Unlikely tho' it just always seems we don't quite want it enough.

I’ve supported this club through some pretty dismal times but this has got to be the lowest point.

I never thought I’d say this but I’m feeling like I probably won’t watch anymore games until there’s a radical change.

It takes too much out of me emotionally ?

I’m sure there’s plenty of you feeling the same.
I agree that these are dismal times and are the worst I can remember in 60 years of support. It is hard to support a team that actually don’t care themselves. The football is dull, defensive and lacks all creativity. The team appears to lack basic football skills. There is no excitement or joy. When we get a corner it rarely beats the first man and never threatens. I am sick of sulking millionaires like Kane and Ndombele making mugs of us. Nuno is out of his depth and hapless. Quite frankly, I don’t like this team and the players in it, and it very hard to support them.

And so he fucking well should feel shellshocked. He's been as much a disgrace since his move fell through as the rest of the team.


It's been that way since around April/Neville interview.

The **** has deserved those boos since long before today.

Chickens simply coming home to roost.

Just read a quote from solskjaer - "the players fight for the club, no matter what".

Fir me it couldn't be further from the truth for us. No pride. No hurt. No professionalism.

I'm expecting a midweek training youtube vid of a lot of smiles and joking around.
Solskjaer's talking shite, they didnt fight for the club last week and they probably wont next week. They just came up against an absolute shambles of a team this week.

Maybe Son could get in the box for once or step inside for the overlap if Royal is taking up space at RW?

All our attackers seem to do is look for excuses to get outside the box.

I think there are times when the players don't just lose confidence with the manager but with the club hierarchy. When they sense that the club aren't going anywhere because the decision makers are idiots then they lose that fire, because there's just no point, whatever you do on the pitch is going to be torn down by the idiots in the board room. Also, the players aren't mugs, they knew Nuno wasn't the real deal from the moment he was announced. There was not one single player who thought to themselves 'yeh, he's going to build something really special here,' they would have all been having sly conversations between themselves about what a joke it was and how he was a stop gap. If you know your boss is a jumped up supply teacher then are you really going to bust a b****ck for him? Are you going to take his advice? Are you going to risk your career going in for a risky challenge? Are you going to risk concussion by sticking your head where it hurts? Are you going to risk doing your hamstring to sprint for a loose ball? Human psychology says no. The players that know that Nuno is a short term appointment and they also don't believe that Levy knows what he's doing.

There needs to be a hard reset. Levy's authority is hanging by a thread.

Spot on. It’s a sorry state of affairs

Yeah, of course it's jargonised football manager bullshit, but the point is, that we clearly need to fucking step up.

Which we won't under the current manager.

It's no accident that it's almost impossible right now to Google "Tottenham" and get articles that focus on Spurs rather than United -- the whole narrative is "United are back," "Ole saves his job," "United's new shape too good for Spurs," etc. etc.

No one even CARES about Spurs right now. They'd all rather we just disappeared. I'm almost in agreement!
