Why did our dad’s all hate us so much when we were born that they inflicted a lifetime of suffering on us?

Former Bundesliga coach Hans Meyer once famously said "In every squad, there's 5 really stupid players. One of them would be living on a bridge if he wasn't a footballer."
Who's in your 5 from this current Spurs squad?

Just a note to say as one of the minority of female listeners, I sometimes feel like I’m listening to a nature documentary of sorts when I listen to the pod, hearing men in their natural habitat, you know like those secret lives of 4 year olds things but it’s secret lives of middle aged men.

At the Bournemouth game, the players were hitting long balls, and the fans were cheering when Big Vic was booting the ball down the pitch.
Have we all given up on angeball now?

Where has Ange Ball gone? How did we get so boring, so bad at scoring goals?

Do you think the police were contacted yesterday after a point was robbed by 11 men wearing white on Tottenham high road?

Picking up on something Ange said about Thursday’s game: Is the atmosphere in the ground making the team play within themselves? We don’t tolerate mistakes like we used to and Ange’s ethos is about playing without fear.
Bonus question: just how good do you reckon Argentine physios are?

Ange has said that "everyone here has 5% of the information I do".
What do you think the other 95% is?
What does Ange know about spurs that we don't know?

Why is no one discussing how terrible our midfield has been all year, particularly Bissouma and Bentancur. I feel that those two are a huge reason why we can’t play out from the back and everyone refuses to acknowledge it.

Question: who benefits more from the other being dogshit? Levy or Ange? Does Levy get let off the hook by Ange being an awful manager? Or does Ange escape criticism because of the ill will so many have for Levy?

I can’t believe it’s been nearly twos years of Ange in charge and we still see a new midfield every week. When are we going to get a holding midfielder that can give us a bit of control in the game?? We’ve looked lost on the pitch for a long time while now

How is it that these players look so sloppy on the ball in all facets of the game? Yes, some of the goals this year have come from 15-20-25 consecutive touches which is brilliant but those cases feel like fringe occurrences. In general it feels like basic passing accuracy and fluidity is completely missing. How is that the case? These are world class premier league footballers. Other teams seem so much more able to play fundamental passes. Has to be the setup, no? Inviting pressure?

Do you think the Tottenham Hotspur stadium will ever be considered a fortress, like Anfield? What do you think needs to happen to do that?

The matches where Spurs looks worst seem to correlate with when they have trouble breaking the press. Is the inability to consistently solve a press a tactical issue or a player skill issue? It sometimes seems like Spurs lack the technical quality to play one touch football regularly and instead rely on pace.

What do think about Bergvall's 2nd half performance?
For me - he made one or two mistakes... But I feel he will be unstoppable next season.

Can Bentancur not get a yellow card for a change? Is he like this outside of football? Does he smash his trolly into others at Sainsbury’s or trip up kids at the school drop off?

If Spurs lose on Thursday - are you firing Ange immediately? Waiting until of the year? Surely there’s no chance of keeping him if they lose…right?

How far off is our squad?
It feels like we’re miles off even though we’ve spent a fortune, we need more on left side of defence, CBs who can play sometimes, a few in midfield, another striker who can be relied upon and some sort of technical ability out wide.
