    A predictable response. So let me help you out, since I don't want to be labelled rude and confrontational:

    Fact: We have only kept 6 clean sheets in the last 43 PL games.

    Opinion: Tottenham will never win anything with Levy as chairman.

    Thus endeth the lesson.

    I don't think we have much choice with this regime. While I appreciate gallows humour, the team is not enjoyable to watch (unless you're a neutral or a supporter of another club). This is the worst I've seen since the Ardiles experiment of the 90s. Experiment is a good word to describe it actually. Ange is like a mad scientist experimenting on our team. One by one he is killing our players. Eventually, it will crash and burn somewhere.

    The one thing that really bothers me is the club has become an object of mockery in the footballing world. We were absolutely shredded by the pundits last night who took Ange and his ridiculous tactics to the woodshed. We are Spursy, we are Dr. Tottenham, we are Banter FC.

    I get messages from friends and relatives who support other clubs, even clubs who are below us in the PL (which is now a minority btw) who are asking me 'what the hell is going on at your club?' or `how can you play that suicide football?' Even my wife who knows very little about footy popped in to watch a few minutes and asked me 'what are they doing?' when our players were constantly giving the ball away and running around the pitch like deranged lunatics. And the only thing I can say to them is there are a lot of fans who think this is entertaining and that this is a good manager, that they believe that this is part of some kind of secret project at the club. When she asks me why, I tell her I really don't know what to say or that a lot of our fans would rather see us lose 4-3 or 3-2 than win 1-0.

    I have two mates at work who fled the Tory shit show of Brexit to come to Canada. One is from Southampton and the other is from Nottingham and they are both bantering me that they hope Ange is still in situ when we play them later this month.

    That's where Levy has brought us: we have the best ground in football, we are the most profitable club in the sport, and we are getting bantered by fans of the bottom club.

    He has been talking to Telemundo a lot lately. He also said this:

    "The truth is, I would say no comment, but... Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn't do well, strengthens again, and now they're seeing results.

    "Those are the things to imitate. You have to realise that something is going wrong, hopefully, they realise it.

    "The last few years, it’s always the same: first, the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it's always the same people responsible.

    Hopefully, they realise who the true responsible ones are, and we move forward because it’s a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year."

    Sounds a lot like what Conte said.
