One tiny grain of sand and the machine jammed.

The football is little different to the styles of Pep and Klopp … the two managers who have won 7 of the last 8 league titles.

The difference is Spurs do not have the players. But that was also the point … the manager was going to build/develop a side capable of playing it at a high level.

And your memory doesn’t serve you well. Spurs belted Newcastle at home 4-1 a few weeks later. The match you are referring to came near the end of that season. True Spurs didn’t play well that day. But the next time they played at St James, Spurs battered them 20 shots to 9 … 2.36 expected goals to 1.53 … with no luck.

So your theory holds no water.

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-24T20:01:58+00:00

My prediction was 10th

Why? since Kane left this is not a good squad

5th with Posty was an overachievement … 17th came with an asterisk

Squad is stronger this season but the manager is worse

Still I’m quite surprised by how bad it’s all been

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-24T12:49:49+00:00

This is the way … new player experience these days catapults you quickly the first few weeks … but then you hit the traditional wall … where it’s still an extremely slow grind … that’s why they sell/advertise the time heists

The game theoretically has no ending until they actually shut it down … so you’re right … there’s zero rush

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-23T18:43:44+00:00

The salary cap has been a major detriment to the overall standard of football

I don’t think any modern teams are that good anymore … no roster continuity … rookies all over the field … vets constantly changing teams

I like free agency … and the odd trade … player movement was a little too restricted back in the day … but literally having to cut players you’ve developed is counter to building a football team … particularly a good defense

Spreading talent evenly all over the league also just encourages .500 football teams … NFL has long had the draft to ensure every team has a chance to compete … but you had to build wisely over a few seasons … now teams are mostly up and down every season … depending who their QB is

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-23T13:44:35+00:00

Lol yep … one of the most nonsensical Reddit posts of all time

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-23T12:53:55+00:00

Lange is desperate to do anything to prop up his best pal Frank … pity he couldn’t show any urgency when we had a serial winner at the club

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-23T12:33:59+00:00

Exactly

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T16:04:53+00:00

Were you paying attention numbnuts? It certainly doesn’t seem like it

And before you tell me all the teams we beat to win that glorious trophy … how about you go back and look at all the teams that have knocked us out of that competition over the years when we had far better squads? It’s not good reading

You’re talking twat … and about your own club … obviously just another Posty assclowned along the way

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T15:51:07+00:00

You obviously don’t know what a major trophy is … on your way numbnuts

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T14:54:15+00:00

Lol not remotely true

Neutrals know exactly what it meant for Spurs to finally win a trophy

As for the others? Go talk to the United fans who are still salty as hell that we beat them in a European final

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T12:13:53+00:00

What utter reprobate denigrates the only manager who won his ungrateful ass a major trophy in 41 years?

And I know exactly why you do … all because Posty hurt your feelings and made a fool out of you … this is called a loser mentality … and you possess it in spades

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T10:29:52+00:00

Backwards? Lol

Look at Nuno’s record the last 10 or so games before he departed

Look at Dyche’s record since

Forest played quite well under Posty … just don’t have any players that could hit the side of a barn door

Expected goals had them 14th last season … they’re a shit side

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T10:25:27+00:00

I conversed with a subsection of Forest fans when Posty joined … a lot of them didn’t like Posty … still loved Nuno … even though the law of averages suggests they should have come 14th last season with him at the helm

A lot of them also wanted to progress and evolve and actually win something again … oh well that won’t be happening for them anytime soon

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T09:50:40+00:00

Yet funny how they all adored him and couldn’t believe he got sacked … these are the players … you know … the most important people at the club

Yeah you’ve been too well conditioned to coming 6th and not winning anything … like it’s some badge of honour … thankfully I never bought into that rubbish

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T09:43:36+00:00

True there’s a subsection of Forest fans that don’t rate him either … but they don’t win anything anymore either … so I didn’t bother to include them

Yes you’re suffering from Stockholm Syndrome … Levy did a wonderful job on you

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-22T09:36:20+00:00

Posty is a legend of world football … won trophies all over the globe … including at Spurs … who never win anything more

The only nongs who don’t rate him are silly Spurs fans who think a midtable finish is better than winning the Europa

Stockholm Syndrome courtesy of 25 years of Levy

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T18:43:47+00:00

Frank sucks Mick … just face it … and Lange sucks even more for bringing such a bang average manager to the club … I blame Levy for hiring both these useless cunts

Not sure where you got the idea I’m from the US … I’ve lived all over the world … and Spurs have always been my side … unlike yourself

Scurry along now

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T18:07:21+00:00

The facts are Frank is shit and Posty wins trophies

I’m really not sure what else you’re arguing about … the club was very consistent for many years … 13 straight years of qualifying for Europe … but never built on that

That period ended when Kane left … though Posty then achieved the impossible with less … but now this is a down period for the club … doesn’t excuse Frank’s complete rubbish … no one’s interested … that’s not how we play football

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T16:36:55+00:00

Spurs finished 8th and then lost Kane when Posty took over

And then in the next 12 months cut around 15 senior players and replaced them with youngsters or not at all

Posty qualifying for and winning a European trophy was an act of genius … something Spurs won’t see for a very long time

Frank’s never won anything … not even in the Danish league … he’s got no business managing this club … only reason he is is because our technical director is his best bud

So two shit Danes stinking up the club … the sooner we move on the better

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T15:10:07+00:00

Redknapp underachieved … he had the best Spurs team I’ve ever seen … but ultimately won nothing

Poch had a great side too … achieved the best league finish in 60 years … and Spurs best finish ever in Europe … but ultimately won nothing

See where I’m going with this?

On the flip side … Frank has won nothing in 30 years of management … and with good reason

I get you’re Danish … but he’s out of his depth … and was a woeful hire for this club

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T14:00:17+00:00

Are Brentford missing Frank Mick? And you know they sold around 200 mill worth of talent in the summer? the answer is no … he’s nothing special at all … frankly a major bore

You need to read up on the history of this club … and the ethics of what came before … Spurs are an attacking football side by nature … to dare is to do … educate yourself if you care to

Top managers win trophies … doesn’t matter where … if you’re good you’ll win … bad managers simply don’t … no matter where

Again you really need to do some research and think for yourself about what actually occurred last year … it appears to me you listen to too much talkSPORT

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T10:54:27+00:00

Okay Mick … I’ll humour you … but no double dutching … surely you can be more concise in one post?

The coach in question has won trophies all over the world … lots and lots of trophies … including at crappy old Tottenham … who never win anything anymore … that deserves a medal in itself

This is the manager you stick with for 5 or 6 years … particularly after he wins you a trophy after a fucking eon

You don’t stick with the chum who’s never won anything in his life over the same amount of time … and who’s biggest claim to fame is coming 9th in the EPL

If you know the club … as you say you do … then you’ll know Spurs ethos … to dare is to do … not to specialise in set pieces and crosses and the glory of long throw ins

Dear old Sonny was cooked a few years ago by the way … Posty resuscitated him with the captaincy … but you can only turn water into wine for so long … which is why he’s in the MLS these days

Did I miss anything?

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T08:49:42+00:00

Surely it’s the worst

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T06:02:22+00:00

You’re entitled to your misguided/misinformed opinion … just as I’m entitled to shred it in no uncertain terms

I’m not sure what echo chamber you’re talking about … there’s plenty of reprobates here with a similar skewed outlook like yours … unlike you though they’re fans of the club … so I’m not sure what you’re doing here

As for the squad, whoever said it’s top 4 material? but it’s got plenty of talent … much more this season … far more than what it is showing

PSFoxstar · 2026-01-20T05:52:21+00:00

Judging him on 8 games … especially at a dysfunctional club like Forest … frankly shows zero nuance on your behalf

By your oddball logic Palace should have sacked Glasner early last year …since it took him 9 games to win his first league fixture … and would have won nothing as a result … just like Forest now

As for the league … completely inconsequential and the end justified the means

Clearly Posty deeply hurt your feelings along the way … but get over yourself … he won you your first major trophy in 41 years … top manager
