Match Thread – Will Spurs Free Themselves From The Toffee Or Will Everton Heighten Tensions Further

|

Following on from the shambles that was our second half capitulation against Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur have a slightly quicker turnaround in the fixture list as we now face Everton in the Friday evening television slot.

Travelling up to Goodison Park for the game, form slightly favours manager Jose Mourinho’s more pragmatic side, but Everton appear to be just as inconsistent as we are, looking very good one game and then very poor the next.

The guessing game for Spurs fans remains the same…which Tottenham turn up and do we even try ‘To Dare Is To Do?’

On an injury front, unless anyone has picked up an unannounced knock, it’s the same pack to choose from with only Ben Davies and Matt Doherty ruled out, but we knew that already.

So, onto the game and we’ll find out whether we will now end the season strongly and put an end to the circling Harry Kane rumours, or not, as the case may be.

Tottenham Hotspur's foundations lie in another sport, which one?

    playing for pride always is better than playing in fear. when all that we do is deemed insufficient, we learn to stop trying. that became the spurs way after 17 gloomy months. it should never be the spurs way. Never.

    it should never be the spurs way. never again. never again. audacious be. dare to be audacious. Say so in English and say so in Latin. And do so. play with pride and play with joy. play to chase the miserable away. play the tottenham way. play audacious attack and play audacious defense. Play with enthusiasm that reflects pride in playing with the cockerel on the jersey. that’s hard to do with capriciousness at the top.

  • TK says:

    those are pertinent questions, 123. I wouldn’t be the least surprise by either. our passing will look more crisp and intelligent and successful and the banished will start to return and look like they care to play.

  • Niall D says:

    About the best decision Mr Levy has made maybe this season was the timing of this announcement, as it seems to have gone a bit under the radar what with the “Super dooper League”.
    Much as I’d like to have seen JM finish the season, the “fall out” May not be as bad.

    • TK says:

      The timing obviously was not accidental. lol. good point, Niall. I’m happy DL didn’t wait any longer, although I don’t know that I’m happy about the super-dooper league. Football as an institution is a bloody mess from the FA and up. but the biggest and richest clubs are not placed to be saviors of institutional football any more that are the kids playing on the beaches around the world. Money seeks only more money and power seeks only more power. And money and power are only two faces of the the same head that seeks to rule

  • Kentishtownyid says:

    No comp prem experience, only 1 candidate Eddie howe will be named the new spurs boss. cheap as chips as they like to say.

  • Stan Rosenthal says:

    Don’t get too excited about the rest of the season. The chances are we will end up with nothing and you won’t even have the pleasure of blaming you know who, although no doubt some of you will find a way.

    • Fran says:

      I would like to know exactly what we gained from JM coming in at Spurs. We have enjoyed several seasons in the CL and even reached the final, this season we will get more EL if we scrape in, and we have played the most negative, boring football for many years. I hope we get somebody in who, win or lose, will restore our style, and we will not drop 20 points and counting from winning positions under any new coach.

      • BelgianSpur says:

        Hindsight is 20/20.

        The gamble has backfired, sure.
        But there was no guarantee we were ever going to get anywhere with MP either. At least we tried to do something about it with a coach who had won things.

        The one thing we have learned, is that no matter the manager, some players in our squad aren’t good enough.

    • Marky says:

      I wonder what’s left for you to post now Mourinho gone.

  • TQ2Spurs says:

    We’ve had nothing to get excited about so far Stan so if the rest of the season pans out the same it won’t be any different. Got to admire your loyalty right to the end.

    • Stan Rosenthal says:

      I can recall quite a few games that I got excited about TQ2 including the rare prospect of a cup final, now almost a complete write off.

  • TK says:

    Stan, I don’t blame Mourinho for all the ills in the world. But he is culpable for incredibly bad taste in his own realm. The less I hear of him in the future the better. I’m sorry he was connected with our team, but he’s gone thanks the gods. That’s all I ever wanted and I’m happy to hear the good news of his departure.

  • TK says:

    I hope to see an improvement in mood in and around our club in the rest of the season now that this malignancy has been exorcized. That’s all I’m hoping for, and it seems a reasonable hope

  • TQ2Spurs says:

    TK….there shouldn’t be any need to hear from him again, reports suggest he will now have made £100m from being sacked over his career, so…..who are the real mugs?

  • TK says:

    FiFA sucks. a criminal enterprise. UEFA sucks. probably also a criminal enterprise. FA same thing.

    The world’s richest clubs are not constructing a solution to these problems with the Super League. Leave the Super Bowl with the NFL. we can have a simple Best Club in Europe Cup every year. No need for North American over-hype and money madness. Football begins at the local level where lads begin to kick things about without billionaires.

  • TK says:

    Super League or no, and DL’s use of it as a cover so that he needs not admit that the hiring of Mourinho was a mistake or not, the good good news of the days is NO MORE MOURINHO! Hurray and hallelujah! thanks and praises to Ja, even if not to DL. Let the bells ring.

  • TQ2Spurs says:

    How badly have the clubs judged the fans response the the ESL and do they give a fcuk?

  • 123spurs says:

    Remember when Vincent tan took over Cardiff and wanted them to change from blue to red jerseys?

    • TK says:

      I do remember. LOL. We love our clubs. For most owners they have no life long connection to the clubs they buy.

  • TK says:

    TQ2, I wish i’d made 100 million getting fired from jobs. Maybe my difficulty is not getting fired. If only i’d done worse at what I do I’d be sitting pretty. For most of us, apparently, we are being punished for doing our jobs relatively well. As you say, who’s the mugs now?

  • TK says:

    Why would the clubs give a damn? they’re quite confident they’ll continue taking money from us. You used to right word–mugs.

  • TK says:

    I suspect that all that money will make Mourinho no less miserable. Taking is less likely to make one happy than giving. Ask any grandparent.

    Taking more than one’s fair share is a miserable way to live. In a strange sounding way, I pity the poor billionaire. What they have isn’t worth a comfortable home with a good family that has 1/1,000,000th of the cash. We need to have enough. It’s good to have a bit extra to share with others.

    If I walk out of my apartment building when I’m in New York City, I see an 80 story luxury apartment building. An apartment cost more than I can make in many years and most of the apartments sit empty. They are vanity apartments so the billionaire owners can say they own them and will never or rarely visit. You think this are anything other than miserable pricks? Too much is too much and these are the owners of the Super clubs who want the Super League.

    • Frank says:

      Apparently both Chelsea and Man City are planning to withdraw from the European Super League, will we be next.

  • Frank says:

    TK, I absolutely agree. Mourinho has self belief in spades, but he is a yesterday man. Hopefully yet another management disaster will remind Levy that throughout the trophy less decade and some, the only consistent feature is himself, it seems not to matter who the coach/manager is.
