      Spurs is the ONLY club in the PL right now with 5 losses in their last 5 league matches. They are in complete free fall. lol

        Yeah, I also have so many questions.

        The way reporters are saying it, Edu was a major factor in their last three managers being fired. And he’s (understandably) under severe scrutiny for their transfers, given their current league standing.

        But what is the other side of the story here? He and Arteta seemed to work very well together, and I haven’t heard any murmurs from our club about Edu being a problem while he was here. But maybe I’ve missed something?

        It seems like at best he decided to move on even though we were happy to keep him. And at worst we wanted to upgrade (to Berta), but to do so in a professional and cordial way. Either way, he didn’t seem to leave us under a massive cloud.

        I know Forest’s owner sounds like a fucking nightmare. But is there something else going on too?

          There’s so many avenues of thought you could go down until your sucked down into the vortex of uncertainty that is the Spurs toiletbowl.

          Maybe people knew what Edu was like and worked around him at Arsenal. Maybe the club setup restricted and hampered his ambitions. Maybe he, like most new employees, is amenable to prove why you’re there.

          Now he’s right near the top of the tree, bar probably Marinakis, he doesn’t have the same restrictions. Or maybe there are demands and pressure from Marinakis.

          It would be too hard to say. It could be as simple as a lot of these managers are used to more freedom and there are too many cooks.

    If the Spurts are relegated, does that mean we have 2 St Tot days this season? Or is it on the first day of next season? Or does every day become St Tots from then on?

    Didn’t realize Hurzeler was such a big whiner. But Hincapie shushing him during the match yesterday was funny.

    Maybe Cryton & Moan Albion should focus on their own game.

    Good result for us. Although the fact they kept cutting through our midfield like a hot knife through butter was worrying. Great display from our defence though - especially Big Gabi and Hincapie.
