He's arguably had a good season with Spurs - he's got them ahead of United, Chelsea, Newcastle and Brighton. The issue is that Villa, out of nowhere, have had the season of all seasons.
While it's nice to see them fail to get into the Champions' League he battered us up here and how good of a manager he really is doesn't really matter in that context.

He’s up against Pep, Klopp, Emery etc not the dross outwith the OF in Scotland. Likewise his budget doesn’t dwarf every other club in the EPL. He’s shown a reluctance or maybe an inability to change his style of play, which we saw when in Europe, and this has also cost Spurs in the EPL. A big summer transfer window coming up and if he doesn’t get it right then he’s a goner. Levy won’t hesitate to wield the axe if they’re not competing at the top end next year.

lets make it a perfect weekend, add scum lose to Killie tonight and St Mirren on Saturday, we win against Hearts to win the title on goal difference
Arsenal and Rangers as the champions of England and Scotland to end the week
Could also argue he got lucky those clubs were so bad, and likely wont be next season
He'll have a fair bit of credit in the bank for turning Spurs into an attacking team that their fans want to see, and for the great start to the season they had. However how long that will last if they falter at the start of next season remains to be seen.
If he's able to get a few players in and most importantly a striker then they could do well, but they'll always ship goals

Perhaps, but he can say that he's got Spurs to a level that they didn't hit last year.
They finished eighth and missed out on Europe altogether.
Now they're fifth and a couple of games away from having qualified for the CL. Add into that the loss of Harry Kane.
It's not stellar stuff but it's about right for a team of perennial losers.

I know some people hate their rivals more than they love their own club but wanting to sacrifice CL football, when you have nothing much else to celebrate, to give your rivals less of a chance of winning a title is the epitome of tinpot.

Cant believe so many on here are backing this guy.
Going into last nights game Tottenham were on a run of 3 wins in 10 in the league which is on big 'Ange'.
That run cost them the CL, not a section of their fanbase who don't want Arsenal to win the league.
He has been found out and knows it.

I can't stand the clown but in this case Spurs have shown themselves to be a pathetic club, both in the boardroom and the stands
Conte called them out and nothing changed. A club like that will never attract elite players or coaches. Destined to fail, and somehow, they seem happy with that.

On the basis of the past 5 years. Last night just cemented it - their fans aren't even bothered about playing at the top level.

He supposedly found out how "fragile" Spurs is "in the last 24 hours", based on fans expressing a natural reluctance to see their preeminent rival winning the League? It didn't really cement anything alien to football at all, or specific to Spurs in general, but that rivalry runs deep.

Not wanting Arsenal to win the league is one thing, but Spurs took it to a new level given it directly hurt them too.
I'd cheer on Hearts beating us if, for whatever reason, it stopped Celtic winning the league, and we had little to play for.
However, if the cost was us missing out on CL/European football, the calculation changes. The only time it's acceptable to want your team to lose is if you have nothing to play for and it hurts your rivals. That wasn't the case last night and it just makes Spurs look utterly tinpot.

His other issue is when Spurs were getting into a position where they could have had what would be considered a successful season in England (finishing in the top 4), the players absolutely bottled it. That is probably part of where is and other managers have been coming from when they talk about mentality. Every time they get close to being successful the players shit the bed.

I don't think it is a case of people backing him. There are Spurs fans on here who were Spurs fans before him and will be fans after he gets the bullet.

That doesn't really explain it though, because the possibility of Spurs reaching the CL are realistically slight; it would be entirely different if a draw or win guaranteed a CL place and Spurs fans didn't want that. It hardly reflected fragility permeating through the club, which really is quite a dramatic overstatement.

If we stopped discussing all the tossers in football then this forum would be significantly quieter!
Did Rangers women fans not cheer glasgow City scoring against us last season to stop celtic winning the league?Spurs fans cheering Man City scoring a goal in their own stadium is beyond weird . I get they don't want Arsenal to win the league but I could never cheer another teams goal in Ibrox . The Spurs fans are turning on him for wanting to win.
I agree that it's weird spurs fans doing it when they had a chance at CL football though.

Not sure I could cheer it on but it would definitely be funny in a lot of ways, but that's more to do with the demented aspect of their support which would increase the hilarity ten fold.
I doubt Arsenal fans were sitting at home losing their shit at the result last night despite the damage it will have done to their title hopes, they will know it was the Villa result really that's cost them their chance.

slight difference in that our women would have had a CL qualifier path against better opposition - we couldn't qualify when we were champions
Spurs had a very good chance of automatic group stage entry at stake
Yeah I agree it was ridiculous them wanting to lose when they could have qualified for the CL.

It's pretty mental that he dug out the fans/club like that, tbh.
The reason they're not getting top 4 is because of the way they've played for the last few months, only won twice throughout April and May. That's not top 4 finishing form, and that's what cost them. It's nothing to do with chucking it against Man City, and everything to do with the fact his one dimensional tactics have been rumbled.

"Shrimp and prawns are completely different creatures. Yes, they're both decapods — which means they have external skeletons and 10 legs — but that's where the similarities end. Shrimp belong to the sub-order Pleocyemata, and prawns belong to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata."

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou said the foundations he has built at the club are "fragile" after many fans took glee in their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, which could deny north London rivals Arsenal the Premier League title.
Spurs' chances of Champions League football were ended by Erling Haaland's second-half double that took City back to the top of the table, two points ahead of Arsenal going into Sunday's final fixtures.
Postecoglou had dismissed suggestions on the eve of the game that Tottenham supporters would want their own side to lose if it meant denying the Gunners a first title in 20 years.
But after a subdued atmosphere on Tuesday night, with chants mocking Arsenal in the final stages, the Australian admitted he had "misread" the situation.
"I think the last 48 hours have revealed to me the foundations are pretty fragile. That's things I've got to go back to the drawing board on," said Postecoglou.
The former Celtic boss was further pressed on whether his frustration was aimed at the fans or those inside the club.
"(I) Don't care. Outside, inside, everywhere. It's been an interesting exercise," he added.
"I probably misread the situation in what it takes to make a winning team."
Tottenham have made a habit of scoring late goals this season, including in a thrilling 3-3 draw against City at the Etihad earlier in the season.
Spurs had their chances to snatch at least a point, most notably when Son Heung-min missed a one-on-one against Stefan Ortega late on.
But there was no sign of encouragement from the crowd willing their side to put the defending champions to the sword.
"Of course it does (have an impact). It is what it is," said Postecoglou on the atmosphere.
"I can't dictate what people do. Yeah, when we've got late winners in games, it is because the crowd has helped us.
"What other people's priorities are doesn't interest me. I know what we need to build a winning team and that's what I'm concentrating on."
Tottenham still have work to do to guarantee fifth place and Europa League football next season, but only need a point when they travel to relegated Sheffield United on Sunday to do so.

I would put it just short of Dortmund and Schalke, easily in the top 50 derbies.
No fan of his but I totally agree with him on this.
The Tottenham fans and there puppet who represents everything about them In Jamie O Hara on a national sports broadcast wearing a City top singing blue moon telling Ange to throw the game was embarrassing behaviour

Can't be arsed going through them but there is always bother at it - lad nearly died last year after being put on a train track after it I am sure. I went in 2008 to it and was most coppers I have seen at a match in England, was also in the area for it last season at Arsenal and it was moody. Problem is social media and the tv has left people who only see English Football through those channels thinking it's all sweetness in England, it really isn't at many places.

Absolutely pathetic behaviour from the Spurs support considering they could still have made the Champions League had they won.
They're basically just a tourist attraction. Being happy to take in the EPL millions is about the extent of their ambition.

This is what has happened with ange everywhere he has went watch the same thing in interviews at these end of all his time at clubs!
To be fair, sours fans celebrating getting beat so arsenal don’t win is pathetic.
It's not look at the damage he has done to their squad with Carter vickers
It puts to much pressure on the players physically and eventually they break down.
Clement wants to play that way with the fbs inverted and the cbs covering more space
