Mou may have his flaws, but at least he managed to win with Porto and Inter, i want to see Guardiola manage that.

Fat chance you'll see him do that mate

Spurs definitely at this rate are title contenders perhaps even favourites.

I know its 0-0 but they are playing excellently, recovering second balls and getting the ball out wide. Palace have that threat on the break but Spurs quality in their play and getting the fullbacks up the pitch gives them so much. 

Hojbjerg has been an good buy for 15m. Value for money

Just hand Jose the title

Wonder how will people view Mourinho's legacy here if he ends up winning the Premier League with Spurs...

Mourinho always wins at least one trophy with every club he's managed. Usually performs best on his second season. I'm getting a bit scared now that he could win the PL with Spuds.

He "always" won the league until he went United.

Records are their to be broken.

I remember a certain a Term-X screaming here - 'Burn down the museum, burn down his name!'  when Mou was rumoured to go to United.

Hes pretty much done the damage already with his comments and general lack of respect towards us. 

Compare the way he talks about us and compare it to the way Ancelotti does, night and day!

[Azul 1,615]

How is it acceptable that Spurs have made much more of a progression under Mou with less talent and much lower investment in the market? We signed much better players and Lampard had more time than Mourinho.

 

It's unacceptable in my opinion, Spurs finishing above us at the end of the season is a sackable offense.

We should he judged on our own metrics.

My target from the start this season was 75-80 points with clear encouragement we can challenge next season, that would constitute a good season all things considered regardless of who won the league.

I reckon if Ancelotti went to Arsenal and won the league they'll be no ill feeling towards him. 

We been quite lenient on our players/managers going to rivals down the years, all we ask for in return is the respect is maintained.

1. Spurs already had the core of the team built by Pochettino.

2. Spurs' team overall are arguably slightly more experienced.

3. Kane and Son are in their prime.

4. Of the first team players, only Reguilon was bought from abroad. Others were bought from the Premier League, meaning less time needed for adapting etc.

5. Mourinho is also the more experienced manager.

Arsenal have a worse squad than Spurs so that would be even worse. I'm talking about a team in Spurs that finished 6th last season, haven't spent near the amount of money we spent and are the possible better team than us. How's that acceptable?

Come with factual arguments instead of using the Mourinho card. If Spurs finish above us then Lampard has to be questioned and sacked. I don't see how there is any discussion about it.

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Spurs and JM can fuck off....

[Azul 1,615]

You're forgetting one major thing here.
Mourinho is an experienced manager. Lampard is a rookie. Expect way more rookie and naive mistakes from Frank than Mourinho.
But yes, Spuds winning the PL and us nowhere near challenging them is a sackable offense. Because the pain we would have to go through will be unbearable and next season I don't want us to be fluffing about anymore.

I know he is a rookie but since when did we accept this at Chelsea? We're still a big club, we're not Liverpool who've finished 8th for the past two decades, that's what people have to understand. When you spend so much in the transfer market you can atleast expect us to finish above Spurs ffs.
