    It's great to see Ange doing well and I would be over the moon if he actually won the title though I don't think they will. What is very satisfying is the change in attitude from the 'experts' towards Ange. Most have realised he knows what he's doing and have moved away from the "he's in the big leagues now, will he cope" to "he's doing well but they won't win it". He's done it all without Harry Kane too. Even though Spurs couldn't function without him accord to most of those same critics.

    Ange got our board to get his main targets in before January window even opened. If he’s capable of that Levy’s easy days

    None of the pressure/media attention seems to phase him one bit, delighted he’s doing so well for them.
    Was flicking between their game last night and the pats game, I’ve watched a couple their games this season and some of the football they’re playing is great to watch. Maddison is a sicko and van de ven is class aswell.
    Wonder how they’ll recruit in January as they’ll have the money from the kane sale etc.
    Surely they’ll bring in a couple quality signings as that’s the only real weakness I see in spurs now is that the squad looks a bit light in terms of cover and quality coming off the bench

    Kane is definitely a big loss for them. I'd have liked to see just how better they would be doing if they still had Kane in their team as there's currently no one there to fill his boots just now.

    He’s got them playing really nice stuff.

    They’re still a bit pedestrian at times but I think he’s management that situation. As you say, the squad is probably a bit light. They should be encouraged that he will take them up a few gears if he’s backed in the windows.

    Similar to his first season here, drilling the shape into the team and building momentum but the squad was a bit light and a few more injuries could have really cost us, if he can can keep things going and add 3/4 players in January like we did think he'll definitely keep them competitive til the end of the season.

    Yeah that’s it and I’d imagine they’ll be more than happy to back him with how he’s done so far, one player I hate on the team is that richarlison *, so frustrating and thinks he’s so much better than what he is. Does nothing merit half the price they paid for him so I’d imagine a startint LW to replace him or a striker to let son go back out left or both…. Would love to see him win the league but still a very tough ask so early in that league with the likes of city, Liverpool, arsenal etc

    Superb start, with some real tough games in there such as Man Utd, Arsenal, and Liverpool. However, still got the acid test of Man City to come.

    Big game on Friday night away to Crystal Palace too. If he can keep winning the games he should be winning, absolutely anything can happen. It's difficult to see them slipping up as often as Spurs have been doing in recent years.

    I really look forward to watching his side when they're on now. A much better watch than they were under the likes of Mourinho and Conte. That says a lot about him as a manager.

    Also love how nobody down south is willing to admit they were wrong about him or offer Celtic any sort of credit for bringing him to the UK in the first place. Instead it's being framed as if Spurs were the ones that plucked him out of some sort of obscurity.

    Will almost certainly be 4 with them facing City next week, but it's a lengthy injury list he's got tbf.

    4 defeats in a row becomes serious pressure down there. The Wolves and Villa games are real bad ones for him.

    Going pear shaped, not that I care, pumped out cup by a bad lot and getting slapped about now every week.

    Plan B was never his forte mind you.

    Spurs 2-1 down at home to West Ham, 1 point from a possible 15 as it stands. Could see him start to come under a bit of pressure.

    He has built some goodwill but rest assured the Londoners will turn on him if this keeps up.

    He'll be out on his * if he isn't substantially backed in January.
