    He's lost it and now I also think he's lost whatever backing he had from the fans

    He lost the backing of the fans months ago, became an extremely toxic relationship between Ange and the Spurs fans, he's been wanting to have a square go with many of them on multiple occasions, ever since Tottenham fans wanted to deliberately lose to Man City to hurt Arsenals EPL title chances, Ange has felt nothing but contempt for them since

    Levy is all Ange has left in his corner

    They won't win it but even a EL win may not save him in fact they may punt and see if they can get a caretaker bounce to try and win that one.

    They're not playing his football. No intensity to their game and so ponderous on the ball.

    He's flogging a dead horse at this point.

    ‘Postecoglou said VAR was "killing the game" in his post-match interview.

    The two VAR incidents on Thursday evening took just under seven minutes to resolve, contributing to 12 minutes being added on at the end of the match.

    Caicedo's strike, disallowed for a marginal offside, took just under four minutes to resolve, while Sarr's equaliser took over three minutes.

    "There was 12 minutes of extra time yesterday, that's not why VAR was brought in," Postecoglou added on Friday.

    "I am the lone voice. I don't hear anyone else saying it. That's why I am sat here and saying maybe I am disconnected.

    "When I retire, I will probably watch less football and find another hobby."

    I feel his pain his pain here.

    It's a shame as I genuinely liked the guy in his time with us. Now I just see his struggle, his pain, his responses and actions aren't showing him in a good light and he's coming across as petulant at times. Yes there have been unfortunate periods with injuries, poor decisions etc. * we live in a world of poor decisions here but we overcome them. His success here can't be duplicated in a league of a much better opposition with a team that won't work tirelessly for him or each other. I feel he's lost the fans, the dressing room and his way, It's taken it's toll not in a nice way, not quite to Mourhino standards but can see him heading that way.

    It either needed to be at a smaller club with less ego or a club that would back him to the moon. Spurs fans and players seem to think they are a huge club, they're * nobodies and their chairman is tighter than a gnats *.

    He's got to the end of the season as 3 clubs are so * that there has never been a danger of relegation, he wins EL he still loses his job but he'll get a good one soon after.

    Really up against it to be in with a chance to win EL, but if he somehow pulls it off and Spurs still sack him... individually he's got a lot to him which would sell him for a future job as he will be THE manager that ended a trophy drought at Spurs

    His "explanation" of why he cupped his ear to the Spurs fans after the sub scored is absolutely embarrassing and an insult to intelligence if he expects anyone to believe it . Losing , things going against you and associated pressures bring out the worst in people and Ange is no different.

    It's very rare that when managers get to the stage of squabbling with fans that there is a turnaround.

    It was a poison chalice from a football manager perspective. A couple of season of big money then a handsome payoff was always the most likely outcome

    That'll be the outcome for anyone that takes the spurs job, they're an absolute state of a 'big' team, still don't blame him for trying though, there's few that would turn down the jump from spl to epl, the mental money and pull of managing in the biggest league is huge, but for a manager with such a clear unwavering vision of how he thinks things should be done and the way he wants to play, in terms of both the people working above him and the fanbase they really are one of the worst teams he could have ended up it.

    Stupid moaning about the goal that got chopped off the other night. Just looks desperate because it was a clear foul.

    We all knew how this would pan out.

    Couldn't have picked a worse team to go to in England.

    He's on about £10 million a year though, I doubt he will give that much of a *.

    Southampton at home is about as easy a fixture as you can get in that league; but a win's a win. Huge game in Europe now.
