Something just didn’t quite seem right from the start of this whole Rudiger incident. Just to get it clear in my head, there was 61,000 fans in the stadium, then 22 players, maybe about 100 stewards, 20 staff on both benches plus the 4 officials and he was the only person in the whole stadium who heard the alleged monkey chants??? Spurs’s investigation has proved “inconclusive” and not a single fan close to the alleged incident has come forward to say they heard any racist noises? Isn’t it possible that what Rudiger heard may have been just booing instead of monkey chants? And Gary “the moral knight” Nevilles “passionate” speech after the game was a complete waste of time?

So you think even if we beat Norwich and Watford we’re still in the mire?

I’m gonna go a bit left field here but here me out. I know the defensive organisation is poor but you know what DS’s biggest blunder could be this season imo, not playing Wesley against Liverpool in League Cup! Why? If he plays against Liverpool, he either A: scores a hatrick(a bit of an ask I know!), but he comes off that pitch 10 foot tall like Bertie Big Bollox and he saves our season! Or B: A bunch of kids mark him out the game and DS finally twigs that he’s gash and plays Kodjia against Southampton! Instead, he plays Kodjia, scores 2 goals, has a good game, but then gets dropped for the Southampton game and plays Wesley again! I despair with the man, I really do!

We did get hammered, against Leicester!! 4-1 flattered us! If it wasn’t for Heaton that would have been 6 or 7 easy!

If we are going to survive this season, which 3 teams does everyone think will finish below us?

Look at Leeds, look at Forest, look at Sheff Wed, look at Derby! Been in that brutal god forsaken division for years! Dont know about anyone else on here but I HATED EVERY F***ING SECOND of being in that Championship!

Looking back, we must have seen this coming from last season. We conceded 2 at home to Blues, 5 at home to Forest, 2 at home to Stoke, 3 at home to Leeds, 2 at home to QPR, 3 at home to Swansea(cup), 2 at home to Hull, 3 at home to Sheff Utd, 2 at home to Albion. Is that down to Dean Smith? Is it down to John Terry? A different back 4, but the same defensive problems.

I’m extremely puzzled how someone who’s been on this forum TEN YEARS doesn’t know how to look back through old posts!!. And I joined because I was getting more frustrated with DS and I wanted to know how other fans felt about him. Never been a fan of his since day 1 but that’s just my personal view. For the record I genuinely never thought we would be relegated this season on the basis that we were a better team than Southampton,Norwich and Watford. Unfortunately after Saturday mine, and many others opinion on here has changed. Never my intention to wind anyone up on here, if it comes across like that, that is down to pure frustration that our season is going down the shitter! Never thought we’d finish in the top half but I never thought we’d be in the bottom 3 at Xmas!

Football through history is littered with great players who were terrible managers/coaches. It’s always puzzled me why everyone is assuming JT will be a successful coach just because Lampard and Gerrard are doing well.

Breaking news mate, one of those “string of massive games” has just happened, and we got smashed at home!!

REALLY????? This transfer window is insane. I don't think I will ever experience one like this again. They players we have brought in are just so exciting. Normally I would be over the moon and really happy had we brought in one or two of them, now we have over 10! I thought our budget would be around £50-60M and then a couple of loans and freebees. Now we are seriously building someting Thats from August 4th, from another deluded fan, you’ve got a short memory! And whats your point about me just joining site? You was born on here or didn’t you join at some point also?

Your right, good point, it’s never that simplistic! Trouble is, the man in charge at the moment is making the game look very very difficult.

Remember how everyone on here was saying what a brilliant transfer window it was, what great players we’d signed, how excited everyone was for the new season, how we’d signed Benrahma from Brentford, and we was in “advanced talks” with Belloti from Torino! . Aahh, happy days indeed.

No he didn’t, Jack Grealish came back from injury. What did he do differently? What was the miracle change in tactics or formation? I must have missed it!

Smith was clueless when Grealish was injured, won 2 out of 15 and was in bottom half of Championship! Jack comes back, we win 10 in a row and it’s all Dean!
