Tottenham Hotspur football club are falling apart at the seams, with the breaking Spurs’ injury news that Moussa Sissoko is going to be out of action for 3 months.
The club site revealed that it was the Frenchman’s medial collateral ligament in his right knee that was the issue.
I have previously referred to our midfield on as a welcome mat. Now the mat has been pinched, and there’s just a Post-It note stuck to the door with “It’s open, let yourself in” scrawled upon it.
Taking stock of the situation draws a depressing conclusion. We’re down to Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama as a defensive midfield pairing. Any other invented combination is actually even worse.
Once José’s blood pressure has stabilized, the Portuguese needs to have a sit down with Levy & Co., and re jig expectations for this season.
Simply buying players is so unlikely a solution in the January window, it doesn’t bear any thought.
Conclusion
In 2019, Harry Kane, Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko, Mous Dembele, Eric Dier, Victor Wanyama, Jan Vertonghen, Serg Aurier, Ben Davies, Erik Lamela, and Dele Alli were all sidelined at one stage or another, with muscle injuries playing a prominent part.
Given Spurs’ continuous neglect in the transfer windows, it was more likely than not that existing players would suffer significant injury.
What else might anyone expect?
I’ll tell you where we were two years ago. Younger. fitter. drilled and keen. What did we win??
Wanting us to fail so you can say “see, told ya. You’re the worst kinda fan. Weak fan. Hate levy more than you love the team. Battyhole
Fake fan mug.
“happy clapping? Shut up u pu$$y hole
No point in posting optimism and ‘faith’ in something that is doomed to failure.
Is it about a match day experience, win or lose? Cheer the failed mess on? That’s like lemmings jumping off the cliff because you’re all stood together in the same place.
You find my moaning tiresome and I understand that, I find blinkered happy clapping nauseating. Especially when you understand and acknowledge that there’s a deep rooted problem.

He’s only been here a 5h!t and a shave. How many more bloody times. Even my grandson gets it. Wait for him to do a failed poch before you start coating him off. Struth. You’re going on like you’re dunce
League placings are more relevant than the domestic cups these days. When we used to win the FA Cup it mattered, Cup final day was like a public holiday, a massive event everyone watched.
Can’t remember the last Cup Final I sat through, as for the League Cup, what’s that now? A nice day out for your fans.
Our league placings under Poch were phenomenal under ENIC on this paltry budget. Nobody else will do it unless Levy spends up, but he won’t…
Arf a chance should be enough for him and his modern right hand boy Sacramento. Dinosaur” set up?
Reply to East stand below
Replied to you but it went straight to the top
I don’t dislike poch at all. He gave me loads of pleasure but never gave me a “happy ending 😁 he should’ve won something with his 3rd and 4th season team though. I wish poch very well. What does poch deserve a medal for? You man hyping up a ex manager who won’t be mentioned in our honours history. Oh yeah he will. The SEVEN. Looking up to a past manager while only partly getting behind the new one. For me that is absolute stupidness. Thickry
I really hope that you are right. Mourinho deserves a chance.
Why don’t you like Poch, because he didn’t play Edwards or the academy hopefuls? I don’t get it, the guy gave us great times on a pathetic budget provided by Levy. He deserves a medal…
Booing? Who said that?
What money? 😂
I didn’t say I’d boo anyone, did I?
Joe Lewis is worth 6bn.
Nobody’s expecting us to spend what Utd, City and Liverpool are spending but 7th highest wage bill? 17th highest net spend over 5 seasons?
We’ve had Champions League runs, we signed nobody for a year. There must be something in the kitty but they don’t care. They want to spend as little as possible, irrespective of if they can actually afford to spend more. They just don’t want to…
Should we only use the new place for football? Why is a couple NFL games a year a problem and more entertainment a problem??????? And you say we need to buy expensive players. With what money???
Clapping and booing. Strange man😂
No he isn’t, ain’t beaten anyone decent yet. Come back to me when Jose’s filling up the trophy cabinet. Was nice knowing you…
This stuff.
Spurs of course but if ENIC are still overseeing mediocrity and Poch comes and plays us off the park i’d applaud his side off the pitch, all day long…
Highest ever Premier League placings 4 seasons running and our ONLY ever Champions League Final appearance. All without a home ground for two and a rubbish budget.
And you’re saying you’d rate him more if he’d won the League Cup? Ok… 😂
Your man poch. 8 years in England and won NOTHING.
Poch let nothing go stale. Levy does all the ins and outs, the contracts, everything. Poch could clearly do no more with what he had, and now neither seemingly can ‘the winner’…
So what anyway. I just want poch to bring a team here so we can stuff’em. Who’ll you be supporting?
Correction, Poch let nothing go stale because he had nothing to do with transfers. He stated that several times, selective memory failure perhaps?
The saddest part of it is the great progress we made under Poch for several seasons and to watch it rot away to nothing because of ENIC and Levy.
It’s the worst crime they’ve committed against the club so far. We were going somewhere, now we aren’t. What’s the stadium for? Losers?
We’ll rebuild the squad man. We have to. We will.
The saddest part will be losing Kane and Sonny.
Very expensive rubbish soldiers.
No evidence that Poch thought he could do it on the cheap, lots of public statements asking for support. So, Levy should trust winning man with big bucks in this window, right? only following your line of thinking.
That is a simplistic understanding by Levy, it was and is unsustainable to not be improving. If he added a top class player each window we would have been building to the next level. He sold without replacing, always taking a cheap option or a young player to sell when proven.
The bwoy no even start ferment yet
How’s that shambles??
£200 each with £50 going to Haringey borough FC
With the Average white band. Wicked.
Daniel. Community ticket with my name on it please. Oh and one for the boy 😁 Also get earth wind and fire in there with the Motown crew
Levy prices😂😂
Wanna sell what’s left of your fan shares? I’ll buy them off ya
😁
It’s not 100% Jose gonna win something here (my money is on he will) if he’s here for the same length of time as poch he’ll win a lot. If not he’ll have to step aside too. Pep coming😁 if not it will be someone else. It’s how football rolls. We’re set up for the world’s best managers and coaches and players. Kool nuh
He took the levy shilling. Plus he thought he could do it on the cheap too. He realized he couldn’t when it was too late. Not sure levy woulda trusted a non winner with big bucks anyway. Poch got played. Step aside losing boy. Winning man is here.
Stefan Freund with ability would be nice
Let go stale? You do mean Levy right?
Please explain
He’s still working with the same produce poch let go stale. Can practically bend all the veg
Mabbsy. My Blood sugar level was at 7 this morning 😊 love that man.
Right now 6.5m to Walsall looks optimistic. No idea who is suggesting people like Jack Clarke to levy. Just hope they are not on the club payroll.
I’m predicting another shameful result at Levy’s NFL temple and more pain for the Spurs faithful. I reckon Liverpool will win about 0-4.
I hope this is the moment ‘ENIC OUT’ ‘Levy out’ and ‘sack the board’ become familiar chants from the stands. This cannot continue with the fans remaining silent.
When Levy wouldn’t back Poch I knew it was the beginning of the end. Of their relationship, of Champions League football of being proud of the team and the way they played.
I’m enjoying watching the rot set in, not Jose’s fault of course but he’s the wrong man for an impossible job. Boy, he must have been desperate to manage again…
Levy.
So we play Liverpool next, a team we were finishing above during Klopp’s first couple of seasons. We went on to sell Kyle Walker and not sign anyone of any quality for almost 4 seasons.
In the meantime Liverpool sold Coutinho after they’d got Salah settled in, signed Mane and Wynaldum (both players Poch wanted but Wages too high for Levy) and then paid world record fees for A defender and goalie. Strengthened with further signings like Keita and Shaquiri etc.
This is what you do if you’re ambitious and want to compete. Levy will make his excuses but to not even try to back the manager properly is nothing to do with money. It’s not wanting to compete, deliberately.
It’s shameful but Levy isn’t ashamed, he does “what’s right for Spurs” apparently…
“Tottenham are dreadful at the moment. They’re slow, dull and fragile and every aspect of their game has worsened since Mourinhio was appointed”
(Source Headline Four Four Two)
Upwards and onwards Happy Days !!
Yep, same old rubbish from ENIC. No plan on the pitch, they just look at players as assets and investments. They’re hoping Clarke will be worth 65m in 6 years time and sell him to Utd. That’s all anything is about, they don’t care about football whatsoever…
Ta when keep loaning this lad out is IMO utter senseless!
For the same reason enic invested £21m buying spurs twenty years ago. A perceived money-making opportunity.
Any idea why we signed Jack Clarke?? Shambles!
Don’t you mean in an entire season?! 😂
But he loves Watford.
I can think of worse options, I like 100% players and he certainly is one of those. Lacking in other areas but no nonsense.
We have lacked leaders for the whole of Poch’s tenure. Leaders who are also quality players cost a lot of money and want paying the going rate. Which is why we don’t have any…
The situation is unbelievable when you look at where we were three seasons ago.
All self inflicted by ENIC and Levy.
I’m still waiting for this Jose ‘winner’ stuff to be coming anything other than wishful thinking…
Admittedly not many! Therefore none became has beens either.
Did many reach 47 in them days? In his game?
His last club he took to war won a little European one with rubbish soldiers.
Mandela?
Neelllsoooonnn ⚽
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah right… Nelson died at 47 in battle and never got the chance to be a has been.
What was the last war he won? Hasn’t even won The Battle of Woodgate yet!! Lost the battle Of Ole and The Battle Of Lampard too. Yesterday’s man…
Is she centrist or more of the same out of touch Corbynist cultish nonsense?
Indeed and understand there was everlasting ill feeling between the 2 hardmen of the game.
True but to take his game to the next level requires more proficiency than what he does which he does ok but sadly what he does is not enough!
Apparently Dave hated the famous photo that captured the moment.
😁👌
Yep not ideal for the likes of Ron “Chopper” Harris and Norman “bite your legs” Hunter!!
I like Winks, there is definitely a player in there. Hope Jose can sort him.
and still waiting for his elusive defence splitting pass!!!!!
To be fair the game has changed so much, soon be a non contact sport.
I was at the Lane when he squared up to Billy Bremner!!
The closest competitor is Harry “neat and tidy” Wiinks but he is a pussycat by comparison!
Yeah, Dave Mackay, two broken legs at Spurs and still came back for more. Never see his like again.
Oh for a MacKay, Perryman, Gary Mabutt and Graham Roberts!
I admire his spirit, wouldn’t accept any slacking. His aggression is one of the things that has been missing from Spurs team. Too many nice players, too many quiet players, not enough leadership. Somebody passed the Spurs dressing room at an away game about a month ago, after we had lost. They were shocked by what they heard.
Do you know what they heard? Nothing, zilch, nada. Not a cheep. Bunch of losers sitting there feeling sorry for themselves. That’s why they never won anything. If that was the Man United dressing room of Roy Keane, Scholes and Bruce there’d be blue murder. They would have sorted anybody who wasn’t doing their job. Our boys are too nice for that, too sensitive. Bring in Troy and a few more like him.
Stroller Eriksen -ouch !
He displays more passion and desire in 1 minute than Tin Tin Eriksen performs in the entire 90 mins!
No nonsense all ruff and tumble high octane Troy is Mr Watford who we play shortly!
I tell you what he’d play for the shirt. He’d probably come for less money. Captain of spurs. He wouldn’t waste it.
F it. I’m bringing Troy deeney in as captain 😂 so what if he’s a bit of a scruffy baller. With that kinda responsibility he’d shake us up. Ok come with a better idea on the cheap then😂😂
For Gascogine have a crack currently at odds ranging between 5 – 7 to 1!
Having heard Lisa Nandy on the now defunct The Week with Andrew Neil her forthright views left a favourable impression.
So my wager is on her!
According to Lord Peter Hain on Newsnight Lisa Nandy has go off to a flyer at the first hustings.
If there was they wouldn’t be good for the economy 😂
Is there a party out there that will be able to stop me from having to have to “get on with it?
As a long time Tory voter I should be happy at the state of the labour party, but the spurs players are case and point about the dangers of no competition for roles. People get lazy and self entitled. A weak Shadow parliament is bad for us all.
Nelson mourhrino
Jose wins wars. End of. Even with a season of rubbish soldiers he’ll still win you one. Two even
