Standout Players:
It seems fitting that this seasons top scorer Johnson scored the winner (I think) so fair play to him, he’s becoming a real goal poacher!
With both the manager and players fully aware Ange is out of the door come end of the season it is clear neither have any interest in the remainder of these league games. I would be pissed if I was one of the other Premiership teams, as they are effectively throwing the games now. This comes form a manager who claimed he would never deliberately lose a match. What a fraud!

So, notice anything? More bullshit excuses from Ange.
Spurs are marching on in Europe but it’s ChangeforTottenham who have organised the next march before the Palace game, hopefully the fans will get behind them!
Congratulations to Ange for setting another record this season with his 20th league defeat of the season and now officially the worse ever Spurs manager in history. Well done mate, I knew you could do it!
So it’s been a really strange end to this Premiership. All season we have been struggling with injuries and unable to play our best team. We were promised it would get better once these players returned yet now they have we still don’t see our so called best eleven on the pitch.
We are now told these games don’t matter and 19 or 20 defeats is irrelevant, this comes from a manager that still gives the fans grief for not wanting to see Arsenal lift the title last season. He was quite happy to throw the match against Liverpool though right?
The fans seem just as confused as the players I think and who can blame them after such a crazy season. The half time walkout against Palace was cancelled as it was decided by the fans that it was more important to get behind the team. Ok that sounds fair I guess, but then the fans also say that these results in the Premiership no longer matter as the Uefa cup is the only competition that’s important now.
Is it just me or does that sound a bit contradictory?
Personally I think all the games matter and for me these games are a missed opportunity for the best eleven to find some form and consistency, which we have been lacking all season.
Everyone seems petrified at the thought of us losing players to injury but that’s football, it happens, you cannot wrap these players in cotton wool. Despite all the precautions we have lost Bergvall and Maddison anyway for the remainder of the season and Kulusevski limped off against Palace.
As it stands we are approaching one of the biggest games of our lives without form, without confidence and without a creative playmaker.
I think some fans need to remember what the protests are about and differentiate between supporting the team and the protests which are against the CLUB. It is possible to do both. We all want to see the team succeed and we all want to see glory in Bilbao, but that doesn’t mean we are not still pissed off with the clubs poor management.
Have you ever considered maybe the players want to see the fans protest too? Afterall they are desperate for success but it is difficult for them to speak out while they are under contract from the club! Perhaps then it is up to the fans to speak out for them? I am sure the players wouldn’t have minded the fans missing that embarrassing performance lol.
Anyway that’s my grumble finished. As for the Palace game, 8 changes were made from Thursday and oh yeh we got battered at home again. Half time was 1 nil and could have been two or three had it not been for VAR and a very fortunate handball. The second half started quickly with a Palace tap in and another defeat was imminent. We were terrible, but it’s ok right these games don’t matter. What’s another defeat lol.
Son was introduced after 57 minutes who desperately needs some minutes to prove his fitness before the final. That was about the only change Ange could make as the bench was largely made up of the players Ange wanted to rest. Smart!
It was a poor performance and I can barely recall a single chance on goal for Spurs, people will use the excuse of a pending final on the 21st but if that’s the case then how come Palace appeared unaffected by there pending final on the 17th?
Of course if we win in Bilbao it’s true these defeats will be forgotten. Some fans have even suggested Ange would deserve a legend status but I think that would be an insult to the real legends at this club. He certainly would have earned his place in the history books though, right up there with Ramos. Do you remember him? Funny how no one mentions his name but everyone talks fondly of Poch, a man with no trophies at Spurs. What does that tell you?
Entertainment Value: 2/10
I like the Palace team but I don’t even know what I’m watching anymore with this Spurs team. We are now 17th and some fans are talking about legend status, what an absolute joke.
Standout Players: Be serious!
Next Match: Away to Villa on Friday.
As Savva (FHTV) rightly pointed out following the Palace defeat, in Ange’s Churchill speech (very moving lol), he talks of using the next two league games as preparation for the final. What preparation did we see against Palace with the 8 changes made? What preparations can we expect against Villa?
Well we did it and despite all the hype and all the pre match nerves it turned out to be a text book victory with Vicario rarely tested.
The conditions were difficult as expected and even though the rain was pouring, the grounds man watered the pitch for extra measures. Clearly Bodo were going to be more comfortable on this pitch but they still had to find a way to break down a pumped up pairing of Romero and Van de Ven.
But nothing was getting past those boys and after an hour of play it was clear we were heading to Bilbao.
The first goal was always going to be enough but by the time Porro fluked in the second it was done and dusted. It was another solid European performance without doing anything spectacular which just goes to show these players can do it, at least against lesser opponents.
Thankfully we are up against another lesser team in the final and who would have ever thought we would be playing Utd in the final with us sitting 16th and 15th in the Premiership table. It’s been a crazy season for sure and it’s not quite over yet, that’s right Arsenal, we’ve still got something to play for!
There’s time for another twist or two yet this season and only last week we lost Bergvall and then Maddison to injuries, so if we are going to do this we are going to have to do it on grit and determination. I think that’s going to be the key between two teams that have both lacked quality and form this season, who will want it more?
Of course we’ve beaten them three times this season already so the players will have that psychological advantage and belief, why can’t we make it four out of four!
COYS!!!!!!!!
Entertainment Value: 7/10
It was a comfortable victory but wasn’t great viewing to be honest as Spurs never pushed more than they had to and the conditions made it difficult for any football to really flow. Of course that didn’t matter, it was all about the victory.
Standout Players:
Romero and Van de Ven made it very difficult for Bodo to get much of a sniff on goal. To be fair it was a pretty well disciplined performance from all, nothing Spursy to report lol.
Next Match:
We are home to Palace on Sunday and maybe the knowledge of making the final will give the players that extra freedom to express themselves. Or maybe it will just be another shit show lol.
A game described by all fans as lacklustre and boring, the attitude being shown towards these remaining premiership games is appalling in my opinion.
It shouldn’t matter what position we are in the league or what European fixtures we have in wait, those players should be playing for pride if nothing else.
The only people who appeared to be smiling at the final whistle where the two managers who had that look on there face that said, “yes at least we didn’t lose again”.
If that is the best our B Team can produce then there are a lot of players who need to go along with this manager come end of season.
Spurs scored early on when Tel pressed his defender, forcing an error and then provided the assist for Odobert who couldn’t miss. Despite going a goal up though it was no surprise to see us concede a goal only 15 minutes later with a simple little pass behind the defence. It was a clever finish from Bowen but you would expect Vicario to do better. Next time keep ya legs closed mate! To be fair he pulled off a good save in the second half.
With the game level at 1 a piece neither team or managers looked interested in changing this scoreline and Spurs made just the single change in the second half with Mickey Moore getting a rare appearance off the bench.
It’s hard to find any positives about this game, I’m not a fan of West Ham’s pitch I will say that, it looks so narrow and at times the match resembled a kids match (not for first time this season), with all the players constantly compacted down one side of the pitch.
Without an intelligent midfielder nobody was trying to distribute the ball across the pitch and Odobert was starved of the ball for much of the game.
There’s not a lot more we can say about this game really other than that it was a missed opportunity to climb a position in the table following Utd’s defeat to Brentford. There goes another 3 million Levy!
Entertainment value: 3/10
No idea why I gave it a 3, maybe a point for each goal and an extra one for the bubbles:)
Standout Players: Not this week lol
Next Match:
So, it’s all about Thursdays game now and whoever is braving the weather and making that trip, make sure to take your long johns lol.
But the big question is can we do it? Yes I think so, I believe we’re going to Bilbao, we might lose on the night in Norway but I think we will hold it to a single deficit and our two goal cushion from the first leg will be enough.
I think we can say 3-1 is a pretty good score in the first leg of a semi-final and of course it was nice of our boys to give them that traditional late goal so they don’t go home empty handed. We are the team that just keeps on giving lol.
I could go two ways with this report, on one side I want to be positive as we are just one game away from a European final, but at the same time we cannot ignore the reality of where we are this season. All we can do is just enjoy the moment I guess, we’ve probably earned it this season!
So on the positive side, we started brightly and a goal in the first minute set the mood nicely. Richarlison did well to set up the goal with Johnson becoming a master of the six yard box. I still think Johnson is wasted on the wing as he cannot dribble or beat a man, never mind cross a ball but he does know how to find the net and every team needs a goal scorer.
The second goal was even better and not for the first time this season we saw a lovely direct ball from Porro and with just a couple of touches Mads had the keeper beaten. It was a great long ball over and Mads made it look easy, it’s a shame we haven’t seen this sort of play in the Premiership.
The penalty may have been a little fortunate but Solanke put it away with confidence which meant after 61 minutes all we had to do was not throw it away. Now for most teams this would have been pretty simple just to shut up shop but of course we know better when it comes to Spurs lol. It only took one lapse of concentration and with their first shot on target (from 3 shots in the game) they found themselves a life line.
Some people have said that the introduction of 3 players in the second half upset the rhythm of the game and whilst that may be the case it’s certainly no excuse for the defence to switch off, especially as the changes were forwards!
Besides the late goal conceded the only other negative that must be mentioned are the fresh injury concerns which now includes Maddison and Bergvall. It’s a good job Kulusevski has returned because we might just need him.
All in all the team looked good, they were composed and in control with even Bissouma having an acceptable performance. But I am reluctant to get carried away with the performance as we must remember the opposition, let us see if we can continue this into the next game on Sunday versus West Ham. Or will they take the weekend off again?
Next Thursday is the 2nd leg of course so that will no doubt be the priority. At the end of the 1st leg the Bodo manager and their fans looked pretty happy about the result, they know what’s to come back on their artificial pitch in the Arctic circle. We cannot afford to be complacent!
Entertainment value: 7/10
It was a good performance but I’m not getting carried away considering the level of opponent.
Standout Players: Richarlison & Maddison
Richarlison had a positive impact in the first half and gave us something on that left side that Sonny doesn’t. Maddison not only came up with a nice goal but he is essential to that midfield with overall distribution.
There’s no question Liverpool will be celebrating their title success this week and they have been by far the most consistent team this season. At least it’s not the Gooners!

Match Report:
Spurs took an early lead but it made absolutely no difference as the result went the way we all expected. It was a game of boys versus men, tactics versus angeball, a well drilled team versus headless chickens, spirited versus defeated, organisation versus pure chaos.
Going to Liverpool is never an easy fixture but the lineup showed little intent of getting anything from this game with Anges thoughts clearly on Thursdays semi final. Was he justified, is it acceptable to play such a weak defence?
I don’t think so personally, I don’t think starting a game at Anfield with Danso and Davies is smart on any level especially when you have both first choice centre halves available on the bench.
Mind you, to be fair it doesn’t seem to matter which players we play at the back these days, the opposition just walks past us. Liverpool replied with 2 quick goals relatively unchallenged to take the lead. After just 25 minutes it wasn’t even a question of whether Liverpool will be lifting that trophy, it was just a case of how many goals we were going to be humiliated by this time around.
By the time the third goal went in from a corner set piece with another unchallenged shot, I was already thinking it was time to put a movie on and just destress. After all, another hour of this was going to be torture. I was glad I had the TV on mute and couldn’t hear those scousers celebrating their ‘stroll in the park’.
Listening to the watchalong from WeareTottenhamTV made it slightly more bare able but even Sim and Bens optimism was not going to cut it today. I think they’ve been listening to too many of Anges brainwashing interviews to be honest. Nothing against those guys but lay off the Ange pills! I recommend you go cold turkey from all Ange interviews and clear that shit out of your system:)
When your team goes in at half time 1-3 down and you’re relieved it’s only 3 goals, you know it’s time for change. But we know we are stuck with Ange for at least a couple more weeks yet. If he’s still in a job after the defeat to Bodo then we are in trouble!
So the second half kicked off, yes I’m still here, I’m a Spurs fan, a sucker for punishment lol. Ange made a couple of changes in midfield with Kulu and Sarr coming on for Mads and Gray. These changes appeared no more tactical than the starting lineup with this game being treated as purely a workout for the lads before Thursdays game. A workout! For Liverpool this was a stroll!
Making a change of my own I’m afraid Sim and Bens optimism had to get the chop and in came Mr Happy himself Gary Neville. It didn’t help, Liverpool were passing it through our defence like it wasn’t even there and the corners were mounting up. Bollox to it I’m gonna put on Expressions Oozing, I need a laugh! Wow this game is so poor even Expressions is speechless
Well I lasted 15 minutes of the second half but after the fourth goal I’d seen enough. I don’t care what you say, I couldn’t take anymore, it’s embarrassing and it’s unacceptable no matter who’s in the lineup. I would call it a joke but I ain’t laughing, Enic clearly have no shame allowing this to go on.
I don’t need to listen to Anges post match interview, I’ve heard it all before. The fact is we are 3 games away from lifting our first trophy in 17 years, our first European trophy in 40 years and I cannot find any excitement right now. I was planning on going to Bilbao, I’ve said all season I would go but that motivation has gone. I’m considering heading to London to watch the final in the Stadium but I don’t really feel like giving Enic a penny of my money either.
Entertainment value: 1/10
For Liverpool this game will go down in history as the day they won the Premier league title in front of their home fans. But for Spurs fans this will be remembered as the day Ange rolled over to have his belly tickled by Slot. Who’s a clever boy!

Match Report:
There’s not alot more we can say about these results that’s not already been said a thousand times over these last two seasons. Players looking disinterested, tactics baffling and just the one question remaining, when will it be over?
The only players that looked like they wanted to try to impress against Forest were probably Tel and Odobert, but even those players’ end product was lacking any real quality. Don’t be fooled by the narrow score margin and the match stats, it really doesn’t matter how many shots or how much possession you have if you concede 2 or 3 goals in the first 15 minutes.
For Forest the job was already done after 15 minutes and it took them just 4 shots in the entire game. With a simple long ball or an unchallenged cross from wide, our defence was easily exposed as it has been all season under Ange. Vicario had yet another night to forget but to be fair the defence have to take equal responsibility. Nobody closed down Anderson allowing him to strike through an entire box of players. With the second goal Wood was able to head into an open goal unchallenged, we’re talking about school boy stuff here, it’s shocking yet unsurprising.
Richarlison had half a dozen chances before finally heading one in, another shot was cleared off the line with a great piece of defending but had we got anything from this game it would have been flattering. There’s no question some of these players were holding back and not for the first time, have they lost faith in Angeball or are they just saving themselves?
Post match Ange’s response to our 18th defeat of the season had the usual delusional claims saying we “played well” and “deserved to win.”
Somebody hold me back!!!!
Of course we all have one eye on that semi final in Europe, but if we play like that there’s no chance of us reaching Bilbao. Even if we do get past Norwegian side Bodø, there’s no guarantee we will cope against the likes of Athletic Bilbao or even Utd in the final. We have made it this far in the cup mostly on luck, if we are going to lift that trophy the truth is we are going to need a bit more luck yet.
The question I am seeing daily at the moment is whether Ange can even be sacked if we win our first European trophy since 1984. The answer is simple, it’s a 100% YES!! It would be criminal not to sack him after our worst Premier league season in 30 years. Even with the return of our so called top players the standards have remained the same leaving many of us to question why we are not seeing more of Archie Gray and Mikey Moore who have more of a future at this club than the likes of Bissouma or Tel.
When Pep Guardioila joined the English Premier league in 2016/17 season he admitted he got a bit of a shock and conceded he must adapt his ways to be truly effective in the Premier league and challenge for a title. They finished third that season (just behind Spurs at their Prime:). In Peps second season he won the League and League cup, the rest is history. That was a manager who accepted he needed to adapt, a manager who wasn’t afraid to make changes and was not too stubborn to admit he needed a Plan B!
Congratulations to Nuno and Forest, I hope they qualify for the Champions league and have a great campaign. As for Spurs, Time for Change.

Not a great match to watch, even when we pulled it back to 2-1, I had lost interest in the game by then and I think so had half of the team.

Result: 0-1 (Agg 1-2) Tottenham Qualify
D. Solanke (43′ pen)
Match Report:
Well, what a night! And I’m not just talking about the Spurs match, the Utd / Lyon match was a 9 goal thriller and Lazio / Bode went all the way to Penalties. But let’s talk about Tottenham. It may have been the quietest game of the night but all we care about is the result.
Apparently Opta stats gave us a 32% chance of winning that fixture and not too many would have argued against those odds to be fair. But even the bookies can get it wrong from time to time and it’s not the first time we’ve had to go away in the 2nd leg to pull it out of the bag!
Watching it on TV, a reporter spoke to Solanke after the game and described the result as a typical Ange Postcoglu performance. I have no idea what games that reporter has been watching this season but that was anything but a typical Ange performance. We got a clean sheet for starters, there were less mistakes playing out the back and instead more direct balls played out with a ‘better safe than sorry’ approach.
It wasn’t the best performance of the season, but what they did was done with composure and unity, never at any point did Spurs look panicked or fazed by the challenge ahead. And let’s be honest, for this Spurs team that was a pretty big challenge, to go away from home and get a result against a team whose 3rd in the Bundesliga. Sure at times we may have rode our luck, but that’s football, you can’t expect to dominate for 90 minutes. In the first leg Frankfurt very much rode their luck too so that evened out in any case.
The first half I thought we were the more likely team to score although there wasn’t a lot in it, but the timing of the goal changed the course of the evening. Frankfurt looked frustrated, they certainly didn’t look like a team who was 3rd in the league and playing at home. Spurs were getting it right without being over the top, they weren’t trying to play like Brazil, I would even say we were being more like an efficient Germany and it was frustrating the hell out of them!
In the first leg I was surprised at how much Frankfurt sat back and allowed us to play but I put that down to them scoring early and the fact that they were playing away with the knowledge of having home advantage in the 2nd leg. But the 2nd leg showed a similar type of performance from Frankfurt, they never really tried to press the Spurs defenders and this favoured us enormously.
In contrast to most Premiership fixtures, we always appeared to have time on the ball and this did us a favour. Our back four looked as good as they have all season and for the most part we maintained our shape without leaving those ridiculous holes. Sure there were a couple of times where just a single pass managed to expose our defence and Van de Ven did well to rescue those situations.
But as the game progressed we sat back and made them work for it. Frankfurt struggled to find the answers although had Kristensen been in better form it could have been a different story. Losing Maddison so early in the game (hope he’s made a good recovery) was a concern but the return of Kulusevski is huge for Spurs. We have missed Kulu so much in the last month and as good as Madders is, we look better when we have the two of them.
As for the goal all credit to the bravery of Madders, I’m sure he knew what was coming but he didnt back out, he took one for the team and there was never any question for me, it was a definite pen. I was a bit nervous when I saw Tel pick up the ball. I know Tel scored his last one but I wasn’t overly convinced by it. But it was Solanke who got the nod and a man who hasn’t scored in god knows how many games was also a worrying thought. Fair play to Solanke, for a man who was suffering a proper goal drought he never showed any nerves and took it like a pro.
It appeared we got it right on the night and we all knew what it meant. In Anges words, “So, unfortunately for a lot of you, you’re going to have to put up with me for a little bit longer.”
If we were told we would be playing a Norwegian club in the semis to reach another European final, the truth is we would have snapped at it. Of course, you should never take any team for granted, especially in a European semi final, but the fact is, it’s a good draw! And I will leave it there:) COYS!!!!!
Entertainment Value: 9 / 10
Of course I am biased but you can’t beat a European night like that and whilst it may have lacked goals, I was on the edge of my seat all night!
Standout Players:
Madders deserves a mention for his bravery but this night was all about the defensive display and Romero and Van de Ven were both outstanding.
Wolves have won 3 from 5 but they are on the hunt for more points as they aim to seal Premier league survival.

Match Report:
Spurs made 6 changes from Thursdays game and the biggest concern was the midfield pairing of Bissouma and Sarr.
So it didn’t really come as a surprise when Sarr decided to concede a foul in only the second minute just for giggles on the edge of our own box. Vicario then fluffs his lines, one nil to wolves. Vicarios performance looked to be going from bad to worse when he decides to hand the ball straight to the Wolves forward who somehow misses an open goal.
Maddison may have felt unfortunate not to get a penalty after ex Spurs defender Mat Doherty pushes him in the back after Mads gets goal side of him. Nothing from VAR as two hands in the back not deemed clear and obvious. Brennan Johnson had the best of Spurs first half chances when Romero feeds the ball into the box for Johnson to turn and shoot but like Thursdays game his attempt goes high over the bar.
Moments later Gray stands off his man giving him far too much space and allows the cross in to the box which Vicario again struggles with, this time palming the ball straight into an unexpected Spence and into his own net. Two nil to Wolves.
Changes were required at half time and much improvements but if Man city can reply with 5 goals against Palace, how many could Spurs reply with?
The second half starts without any subs made but 10 minutes into the half Ange makes the inevitable changes as Bissouma and Sarr come off for Bergvall and Bentancur. It’s safe to say those two do not have a future at Spurs come end of the season. Moments later Bergvall makes a nice run forward and passes through for Johnson to make a first time cross. The Wolves defender at the far post fails to clear and even though Tel knows nothing about it, the ball hits him and finds the net. A stroke of luck but 2-1 it is.
Any hopes of a comeback lasted just five minutes though as the Spurs defence goes awol, first Romero and then Spence completely switches off and allows Wolves an easy tap in to make it 3-1 to Wolves. With Spurs struggling two more changes are made with Kulusevski and Richarlison both returning from injury. Richi looked like he hadn’t kicked a ball in five years never mind five weeks but thankfully the ball fell to his head with a chance even he couldn’t miss.
It’s now 3-2 with five minutes remaining, could it be an exciting finale? No of course not, a minute after scoring Bergvall gives up possession needlessly in midfield and with an absent defence Wolves make it a comfortable 4-2 victory.
I think we’ve seen enough!
It’s another shambles and to be honest too many of these players just don’t look interested. It may be a fixture with little to play for but today showed appalling attitude from the players. Just because they had a midweek game is no excuse, yet we are seeing it too many times this season.
Post match Ange Postecoglou defended his players in what must be Aussie humour saying: “The goals weren’t lapses or anything, they were individual errors, which is unusual for us to give goals away like that.”
Unusual! Really mate?
If that didn’t make you laugh then his next comment will, “I thought we played pretty well but conceded some pretty poor goals.”
If that was us playing well I wouldn’t like to see us on an off day!
It’s incredible to believe Spurs have scored the third most goals in the Premier league this season despite all there injuries but most of all considering how poor our front line is. It just goes to show stats really don’t tell the whole story do they.
Entertainment Value: 6 / 10
Despite a 6 goal match I cant say I ever felt entertained with the performance lacking in any quality. Wolves were not much better yet they managed to score 4 past us. That says it all!
Standout Players: Obviously very difficult to hand out any praise to this poor performance but if any one deserves credit I would have to go give it to Tel. He was the only player out there that looked like he had a point to prove, maybe he wasn’t the best but at least the effort was there from him.
