You mean in response to the same verbatim crud about Puel.

Steady on. Not if they're the manager of Spurs (or P*mp*y).

Indeed. I'll never forgive him for selling Mane, Pelle, and Big Vic. And for getting Austin and VVD injured. And turning Fonte's head and selling him in January when we were already short at the back.

I don't know about 90%, but yes a significant number wanted him gone. I think word on the street it was a number of unhappy players who were the main reason he was sacked (with maybe the fans being the straw on the camel's back).

Apparently that wasn't good enough last season.

Yes indeed. Plus VVD and Austin injured. Plus the extra Thursday games every other week. Plus (as someone has just reminded me) having to deal with a toxic Fonte for half a season.

0 games in and it was clear we needed some attacking talent. Well, to everyone except Les "One Transfer Window Too Late" Reed.

Indeed. Mane, Pelle and Big Vic became invisible when Claude took over, as were Austin and VVD for half the season. And he didn't get the best out Gabbi until half the season had already passed.

Yeah, that's the silver lining. We're crap at home.

Let us know what you think a couple of months from now.

His crime was he didn't get the best out of the players he didn't have.

We've regularly been at the top of the physioroom charts, so I don't think your glasses are pessimistically tinted. Saints' physiotherapists need to go. Along with Dave Watson. And Eric Black, of course.

I'm not sure about that. It's looking like it will be a big ask for them to be able to survive at this high a level. It'll probably be better for them if they slip back into L2, where they belong.

So Souness tries to blame Terry Cooper. Bloody cheek, as allegedly it was Cooper who more or less took over near the end of the season to save us from the relegation that we were hurtling to under that incompetent arsehole Sourpuss.

Poch is a decent manager, but is nothing more than that until he wins some serious trophies. And even if he does manage that in the future, he'll always be a twat.

For big clubs, yes. Spurs are a big club, and currently have a superb squad (I feel dirty saying that), led by Kane (who Poch was reluctant to play when he was first there). So being in the top 4 is hardly a managerial miracle (unlike Leicester's unbelievable season ... incidentally denying that "brilliant" manager Poch yet another trophy).

And apparently it's also easy to forget he had Mane next to him that season.

And the rest of us will recognize it would be because they have Vardy, Iheanacho, Mahrez, Slimani and Okazaki, instead of the Long and J-Rod for most of the season. And not having matches every other Thursday.

Poch's trophy cabinet.

If he does go there I hope (and expect) he will be a big success for them (finishing one place below us).

That's how Leicester won the league.

If Tuchel does go to Everton maybe it's because he wants to go to a bigger club than ours?

If we get 45 points then we won't be in trouble this year. That is for sure.
