Ah the glitter on the turd argument...with a CL final thrown in.Some of the best nights I’ve had as a spurs fan in a very long time in that run. Yeah. Was horrific.

I think most people agree that overall Poch did a cracking job for us.with a CL final thrown in.Some of the best nights I’ve had as a spurs fan in a very long time in that run. Yeah. Was horrific.
You need to put it in context. We finished fourth in the league and made the champions league final during that bump. In a season we played mostly at Wembley and then in an unfamiliar new home ground. We also signed no new players for two transfer windows and lost our number 1 midfielder Dembele to transfer and Harry Kane our best player for a lot of games to injury. Given all of this I think we probably overachieved last year. Yes the form wasn't great overall but Poch wasn't solely to blame for that. Show me another manager that has made a champions league final and finished 4th after signing no new players for a year ever?Yeah 25 points from 24 games is a "bump."

You’re a funny guy. Did you find out where they sold glasses? ?

But we can't ignore the awful league form that last the whole of 2019 and it didn't appear that he was going to turn it around.
Can u play the violin? contact Lighty if you can mate.
Last season I was more than happy to ignore our poor performances and league form.You need to put it in context. We finished fourth in the league and made the champions league final during that bump. In a season we played mostly at Wembley and then in an unfamiliar new home ground. We also signed no new players for two transfer windows and lost our number 1 midfielder Dembele to transfer and Harry Kane our best player for a lot of games to injury.

Easy to throw that number out there but is the context that brings it to life. Klopps year the season before they won the champions league was 4th place and champions league final losers.
Lol, I hope you're trolling. 10 months isn't a blip.So for 1/5 of his time he had a blip. In that 1/5 we had a CL final.
We might have just dispatched with our Ferguson. United famously nearly pulled the trigger on sacking him, but they didn't and the rest is history. We hit our first bump in the road with Poch and he got the flick. Two wins later, were in 5th and all appears well.
Good luck to Mourinho, it'll be great if we maintain or exceed recent seasons. But we all know no bumps in the road allowed.
Lol, I hope you're trolling. 10 months isn't a blip.
He did......but if you kept asking him about Eriksens contract over 12 months worth of press conferences his responses may become similarly defensive.Every question he answers feels like the perfect response. Imagine Poch being asked about Eriksens contract? He would have gone on the defensive. Mourinho answered it perfectly
Trends matter. 99% of a flight might be perfect, but if the last 1% you are in a tailspin, hurtling towards the ground, maybe things are not so good after all.taken in context mathematically it is. 80 pc of the tine was fine.
It was more than a bump in the road with Poch, we crashed into a brick wall. Poch isn't and never will be an Alex Ferguson, he simply isn't as talented a manager. Ferguson was unique.
I firmly believe if Poch was as special as some people claim, he would have won at least one trophy of some sort over the last 5 years. We had an extremely good side, yet constantly lost to rivals in big games, Poch constantly got done over tactically by better managers. He can't be that special can he?
Thanks for posting @spursfan77 but could you actually post the whole lot, including the "bad" parts?
At 47 years old Ferguson took Man United to 11th in the league.
Poch has plenty of time to achieve things.
Edit, add to that Poch has also out done the same better managers you speak of too.... Pep - check, Klopp, Check - we beat them all.
Deary me. What a ridiculous post. Come back to me when Poch achieves more than one of them.
