I recall many posts on this forum claiming that Spurs would collapse once our difficult run of games began, starting with City. Yet here we are, in top spot.

Age like a corpse.Glaston's posts age like fine wine.
Hi GlastonWhich part of mid-table are United in this week?
I don't think it is that simple. They are heavily dependent on Kane and Son for creating and scoring goals for them and this isn't the type of season where that's a sustainable policy as they will get fatigued or worse injured. Kane has already started to look sluggish. I think between the two of them, they have scored 20 of the 26.They'll still do very well and probably be right up there with Kane and Son as talismans, but the football is pragmatic to the point of cowardice. We've seen it before.
Typical post match as well.
Wish we had played them a bit later in the season, though. That 6-1 seems silly now.
Literally knows no other way to play football.Get a goal, sit back and hope for the best.
To be fair to him though, he did say that the team didn't show any desire or ambition today after going a goal up. Although, he may say that in public but everything he does and says during training may be contradictory to this.Literally knows no other way to play football.
I don't think they could get the 1/0 at Chelsea because of those players at the back. They could do it because PL teams were generally not as good technically and not as coached positionally to dominate midfields as they are today. Mourinho's approach never changed, he never tried to emphasize midfield control with the ball so his teams can push higher. 15 years ago, that was no big deal because no one else did in the PL so it usually ended up with individual duels where Chelsea won most because they had superior players and therefore were never forced back as much as they do today. Now, that deficiency is significantly more exposed which leaves Mourinho teams incapable of possessing the ball with anywhere past their final third of the pitch.We saw it a million times in his first season managing us. How many 1-1 draws where we conceded late on? How many times playing for draws away to the big teams? Would spurs be any worse off under Big Sam?
Problem is, he could play for the 1-0 at Chelsea when they had Cech, Carvalho, Terry and Makalele at the back and 1 goal was always enough. At Madrid they had Benzema, Ronaldo and Ozil so they always got the counter attack right and got the 2nd and 3rd.
He’s very outdated I think.
He says a lot of things but sticks to his ultra shit soul destroying football. We have seen it all when he was here.To be fair to him though, he did say that the team didn't show any desire or ambition today after going a goal up. Although, he may say that in public but everything he does and says during training may be contradictory to this.
I'd love to see Mourinho and Bielsa together in the same room, talking about football ideology.
*popcorn*
This. Feckin awful to watch.Predictably poor. Hopefully this puts an end to the idea that we were wrong to sack him.

Had a flurry of activity on the football forum after our draw yesterday funnily enough..He cant fly to India right now, can he?
Just stop associating India with Glaston. He won’t find spiritual awakening there as India has more than its fair share of United fans.
Is any Utd fan on here remotely surprised?
There were times I told myself I was ok with the dull 1-0s where we had 40% possession and 2 shots on target.
But eventually everything regresses to the mean and you realise it’s all just shit. Id wager a lot of spurs fans are now in the phase of slow but inevitable realisation.
It’ll get much much worse before he is sacked guys, be prepared.
His football is like watching a dashcam footage for 2 hours instead of the travel movie. It’s the same thing but without the soul and the narrative.Is any Utd fan on here remotely surprised?

Glad you are enjoying your football. It is fortunate that United fans only need to watch highlights now compared to a whole game of shîte. What a relief.Very fortunate then that you don't need to watch it. Go do something else and watch other games if it's so awful. Meanwhile I'll watch it and be very happy when we get good results.
Have a look at the Jose thread on The Fighting Cock.There's a not insignificant portion of United fans on here who still adore him and still feel like he was hard done by, not backed by the club and should not have been sacked, so yes, I would expect that they're surprised it's not going swimmingly there as well.
Have a look at the Jose thread on The Fighting Cock.
The overwhelming majority of posts are extremely critical of him and his style of football, to say the least
The posts from the solitary couple of Jose cultists bear an uncanny similarity to ones on here from late 2018. Terrible squad; Jose critics “not real fans”; the lot.
There are significantly more Spurs fans defending him on the Caf than on their own forum. At least there have been; they seem to have gone quiet tonight...
The problem isn't that they don't want to get a second goal though, it's that they don't know how. If you look back at a lot of Spurs' goals this season, most are from individual brilliance from top players or massive defensive capitulations (see their 6-1 against us). They don't know how to play quality combination football other than on the break, because Jose hasn't evolved his attacking approach. Even today's goal was from a shot outside the box that the keeper should have done better with.To be fair to him though, he did say that the team didn't show any desire or ambition today after going a goal up. Although, he may say that in public but everything he does and says during training may be contradictory to this.
