Nah. Ian is talking out of his hat. It's a reference to that some of the staff were happy to lose so Arsenal couldn't win the league. It's covered in The Athletic.

Clearly annoyed about his own fans wanting him to lose

So Mourinho Conte and Now Ange Mate said the same thing?

He is pissed at the fans

Even if it is banter from spurs staff, that should not even be in their minds.. End of

He had staff joking about throwing the game/ it’s okay if they lose against man city - then having fans saying throw the game triggered him

SHAKA IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

what got Ange angry is that whilst the players were fighting their guts out on the pitch, the disgraceful fans were busy cheering the opponent. What a bunch of losers.

At Villa the formidable atmosphere generated by the fans pushed their team to a thrilling comeback. The contrast between Villa fans and the Spurs fans defines the outcome this week.

OF COURSE!! He saw the club and the fanbase scuttle Top 4 and Champions League money and stature, and celebrate it, instead focusing on sticking it to their rivals. As long as i have been a fan of footie I've NEVER seen anything so desperate, so gutter, and so LOW CLASS as this. Imagine Simone and Athletico celebrating losing to Barcá in order to keep Madrid from the title. Even the gaffer thinks so but can't say what he REALLY thinks.

Conte, mourinho, Poch, Nuno,...they all can't be wrong can they? At some point we have to consider other issues contributing to the problem

He was talking about the fans wanting to lose just so Arsenal didn’t win the title. He didn’t expect so many fans to have that mind set. Maybe someone high up shared that sentiment with him and it pissed him off. I don’t think it has anything to do with transfers in the summer

Ange has far superior values than a majority of Spurs fans. COYS means something.

It sounds to me like its a combination of a few things coming together at the same time. The shock of hearing fans in the stadium actively wanting a loss; maybe some backoffice banter or executives indicating similar feelings and knowing it could get into his players heads. It wld eff me off too.

This is not about money ,it is about winning creating a winning mentality. Not just the players but the whole club fans as well. It is about winning not losing. Arsenal or not.

Shaka got it spot on.

There were a lot of “fans” cheering against their own team. Pathetic mentality. And from his statements id assume there were people who work for the club (whether it was trainers, chefs, cleaners, ground staff, whatever) who were also hoping and telling the team they should lose. Winning mentality and culture isn’t something you turn on and off. Spurs are a punchline and a continual laughing stock for a reason.

He is clearly annoyed at the fans wanting the team to lose. How can adult humans fail to understand this???

Winning is not in Tottenham's DNA. This club lacks ambition and the appetite to win trophies. Ange should move to a bigger club who will back him and wants to win things. Spurs should appoint David Moyes because he will consistently keep them a mid-table team, which is where they should be.

“Struttin abouut like a peacock 🦚” lol

Why would Daniel Levy and Ange going to have a meeting about funds and transfers 48 hours before playing City. All these pundits acting like they don't know what Ange is talking about.

Shake's idea is probably the most accurate. If Levy would sack Mourinho before a copy final then almost any is possible for that club.

Mourinho said it. Conte said it. Now Postecoglu said it. Tottenham is a small club surrounded by losers “inside and outside.”

Craig on point today

Props for Craig for being right about Ange referring to the playing staff when talking about inside fragilities

As a Tottenham fan I fully agree with Craig. Yes I’m a bit disappointed that we didn’t get top 4 but overall I think the squad did better than expected and I’m really excited for what they can do next season both domestically and in the Europa league.

insane ‘big 6’ agenda when VILLA were the ones who earned champions league and they’re talked about for all of 30 seconds in a 10 minute video by a mainstream media outlet, why even bother putting villa in video title, embarrassing

Whos calling spurs failures? We all know he's talking about the fans. And we all know what happens when the fans turn

A lot of people are taking the shaky foundations thing out of context. The question was around the foundations for next year that he built and what I took from the quote is that the mentality he thought he instilled early in the season isn’t there to win his way and it sounds like he’s going to take the gloves off and get rid of the staff/players. One thing levy wouldn’t have wanted is to lose cl Fans have short memories and the form this year has been shocking. I think most sane fans would agree that they want ange here and with another few windows when he gets a squad that he have the technical ability to do what he needs he can get them playing some really good stuff consistently for a season

How do these "experts" miss the mark so badly? It's obviously on Levy and/or others within the club & fanbase telling him it was ok to lose this match (So Gunners can't win the league).

So much rumbling and idle talk... Ange was clearly upset when he realised the Tottenham's fans care more about Arsenal getting hurt than about their own team to win. But he still has a job to do and didnt have another job lined up yet so wanted to keep certain things to himself 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ ... plus the guy on the right is clueless. All the Tottenham fans wearing Man City shirts is all you need to see.

Shaka and frank can talk for hours without saying anything maeaninful. At least Craig, Moreno and Juls make concise sensible comments

"financial benefits of being in champions league" vs "let the neighbors fail" - i can totally see the financial benefits of encouraging the rivalry and hatred and whip up the fanbase. I can totally imagine Daniel Levy wanting that

Spursy still spursy, Ange might as well come to Liverpool instead 😁👌🏼

Let act like he never said he learned a lot in the last 48 hours.

He was warned by more successful managers and he chose to ignore it.

The 'foundations' of any club is the 'fans'.......Without the fans, there is no income and the club will no longer exist. Alternately, no player will wish to come to Spurs and many will leave due to this toxic fan and staff environment. Fans have to be bigger than just a rivalry or they won't win anything..... which they haven't i.e. empty trophy cabinet. If Levy won't spend the money.......my guess is Ange will walk to Man U.

it’s obvious he just realized that he’s surrounded by losers who their biggest win is arsenal loaing

3:30 😭😭😂💀💀😂😭

I agree with the guys. Bruno should just go to the money.

@Just Happy To Be There - New Spurs motto.

He seen romero throw the game

He looked pissed at the fans and probably backroom staff who didn't want to win

Every other Prem club objectives) *T b the best they can b, improve on prior season standings an challenge f trophies.* Rotts primary seasonal objective) *T shadow-stalk Arsenal an try t stop them from finishing higher than them even if it meant Rotts being relegated.*

1) member of staff wanting spurs to lose; 2) levy and his minions busy trying to sign levy signings and not focusing on signings that will improve his team.

If you have read comments from Spurs fans across social media you can tell they were overwhelmingly happy to lose the game to make sure Arsenal doesn’t get the title. Some of these “fans” are probably in the staff, on the training ground, in the Board, etc. That’s the fragility in this (insecure) club.

you look at this line up and most of it are new signings, barely any core left

Obviously, he means fan base mentality, has nothing to do with Levy

They play reserve sides in some Cup games and get knocked out 🤷‍♂️

Would be very surprised if he sees out his contract

Nothing to do with transfers, where did that guy got that from, the issue was pretty obvious.

Craig is 100% right!

It wasn’t that complicated. Drake saying it was money related. Jeeze

Ange realized that he can't be generous or gracious in his approach to overhaul his team. He likely felt betrayed by some players' mentality and he's done with giving them "chances". You're either with him or against him. I expect to see a clearout this summer and as a neutral, it'll be interesting to watch what he does next.

Things are “ Spursy” at Tottenham??? Surprise, surprise…🤣🤣🤣

Shaka's theory was right. A staff member suggested playing the youth team. Absolutely embarrassing.

At Celtic the mentality was win every game no matter the opposition or what the implications of that result would be. Ange knew when his Celtic played at home from the first whistle to the end of the game the fans would give their full support or show their disgust if the performance wasn't up to par. I don't think Ange can believe what went on in the lead up to the Man City game or the behavior of the Spurs fans towards him and the team during the game. Whilst Ange knew what he was walking into, I don't think he really knew how bad it was until this game which was unique as it was a rescheduled game with implications on potentially handing Arsenal the league. Being Australian where the sporting mentality is supporting your team no matter what, Ange cannot get his head around what we was seeing and hearing.

5:10-5:15) Craig spot on with his question... *What hav Rotts achieved in reality over decades.. an yet their 1 thought was t chuck a game t stop rivals Arsenal from winning the League?*

Don't get a manager to lose games he is there to win games . Aussie mentality is to win not lose . Culture shock for him that's for sure.

Conte Mourinho and now Big Ange is saying the same thing about those losers for fans.... That was a low point for Tottenham in its entirety not just those losers...

When you get 100m from Kane ,you don't invest that and buy a new ST ,instead you say no more funds 🤦‍♂️ and expect the manager to succeed 😂 Spursy at it best

Does the light reflect off Franks head? Can't keep my eyes off the little halos

Saying the same thing conte and Jose said before him yet they got slated for it

They only played well for 3 months in the season but that is already an overachievement for Postecoglou given the mindset that pervades this club's fans and players. He deserves a better place.

Lots of maybes .Did Ange do his homework before he came to Spurs. We have a very good and newish squad that needs to gel and some costly players not performing . Some of his decisions have not been the best. We have been thumped by mediocre teams . Of course every team needs new blood but dont tell me he expected city like spending at Spurs. We have won diddly squat for years but still have great support. Ange needs to understand the strong rivalry between the clubs. I dont think the majority of the fans wanted to lose , and believe it the fans hate having nothing at the end of the season, we are sick of being sick of getting nothing. Arsenal hope rocked was just a consolation . And its not just Spurs fans with this mentality against Rivals. This was a very rare situation and that fan he argued with was obviously on a wind up mission and succeeded.

Over in the US they are completely out of touch. Sahka is right - ask the two fanbases over in North London

Again missing the point. For years you guys completely miss the point. The main problem is Daniel Levy

Congrats to Unai, Emi and the Villains. See you in the Champions League next season and best of luck. COYG

As a United fan I’ll be gutted if city win 4 in a row. But I would never want us to lose to Arsenal. It’s your own pride, caring about your own club. Not worrying about what Citeh do when we are playing Arsenal. Disappointed at spurs being so small time.

Craig got it right. To finish 5th in the Premier League is something that some 90 odd teams in the top 4 divisions only dream of, not to mention the hundreds of lower division and grass roots teams. Spurs don't have some divine right to play champs league, any more than any other team.

Well at least Villa got 60 seconds 👀. The media is obsessed with the Sky 6.

Wasn't it this man who said he doesn't care about top 4 maite?

Shaka just made up a story that Levy told Ange to throw the Arsenal game (presumably because he wants to miss out on Champions League £ millions) 🤦🏻‍♂️

I agree with the “conspiracy plot” comment 🤨

Aston Villa beat us last year by a point. They ended up seventh and we ended up eighth. Both sides have improved this year and the closeness on the table is merely a reaffirmation of what happened last year.

It's shaky - not shakey

Tottenham remind me of those fellows back in the days 😂..In my school days those who were in class for the sake of being seen in the classroom ..This fellows did nothing in school,they never fought for any honours honours in the school...They were there to increase the threash hold😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

José Mourinho managed the Spuds and ended up disliking the spuds. Antonio Conte managed the club and ended up disliking the spuds and now Ange manage the Spuds and is realizing how disgusting a club the spuds are and how they and the supporters are void of all ambition.

What do we expect , it’s what Spurs do. Big club in talk , Big club in stadium. Small club in the pitch.

He talking about fans mentality team’s mentality wanting their club to lose is not good your finished ,you got Tottenham fans wearing Manchester City shirts in their own ground,don’t make this about the owners

Missing the elephant in the room. Ange just witnessed first-hand Spuds fan cheering a loss and happy to not push for top 4 He must be thinking he has entered the twilight zone.

I'm a Season Ticket Holder at Spurs . A support for 50 years. I'm so happy that Spurs played brilliantly and matched and bettered City especially in the first half first . The game is about scoring goals. Having not replaced Harry Kane ....a specialist proven Premier League striker ....it showed ne that Club Spurs had no ambition and insufficient squad depth in both quality and quality.....to play 2 games a week at the highest level . So I'm content with nid table mediocrity. For how many years was Arsen Wenger knocked out of Europe in the first round . Man U Cheksea and Newcastle playo.g beliw thier usual best ....placed us artificially at 5 th . ... 7th or 8th better reflects the quality of the squad abd the rookie gung ho stupidity of our manager. Remember managers come and go .STH Fans like me are forever. COYS

Craig has nothing to add, really; street wit is can only carry you so far

Spurs are a “ fun “ club. That’s it. The fans get the team they deserve.

Hes pulled a better Mourinho captain deflecto than Mourinho

Despite the fact that Sp*rs are 5th - they've fallen away so badly that they've only got a 19-12 W/L record (6 draws). They're a long way behind the top 3 - and having home fans wanting to lose a game when still fighting for top 4 ??? It does sorta makes you wonder as a manager. Ange is right. The club is rotten.

Postecoglou now thinking: if I only waited up in Scotland 1 more season I could have taken over my beloved Liverpool this summer perhpas. Now he's stuck in this Spursy no winning mentality reality. He has to try and get the players to play his style this upcoming transfer window, and if not backed by Levy and co, maybe quit like Conte

Ange to Liverpool?

Walk on Ange.

Ange is just playing to the gallery. He lost woefully to Newcastle, Chelsea , Liverpool even small games we should have won and all of a sudden he is pipping up over one game. What happened to all the games we lost. Disappointed at Ange to be honest .

Ange is a winner Spurs OF COURSE arent so it wont last LONG I THINK

You're all barking up the wrong tree. This is ALL to do with the fans behaviour....

Injuries, stop start season players lost for weeks to internationals, could have been a lot better. Ange says he wants to win, what happened in the league cup, with the team he put out against Fulham. He doesn't seem to understand the hate between Spurs & ARSEnal fans, well let met tell you Ange it's football mate.

Doesn’t anyone know any Aussies? If you know them they do losing very well. It’s just not something they do. Ange came here but he doesn’t see any rivalry because spurs have never ever won a Prem Title but Arsenal have won 3 Titles. Therefore it’s crazy to him. Poor guy. Well done Villa🎉

the fans pay the wages

Conte said, Jose said and now Ange has spoken. The cancer is the club does not have any heritage. So why speak about a mid level club. If they were in the midlands they would be forgotten.

Clearly there is an element within Spurs and the support that would rather lose a match than see an arch rival win the league. I have no words to describe how ridiculous and unprofessional that is. It is spite and envy of the worst sort. And over the last few days Postegoglou has obviously had a bellyful of it. The only thing that should concern Spurs and their supporters is winning games.

So the panel of experts on doom Sayers of Chelsea all season -still have not worked out that a Chelsea win at Home Sunday and Spurs defeat Away ,gets Chelsea finish 5th in Front of Spurs---- Is Postagocolu in the running for LFC job- it would be a big coup for LFC..

Lads... it's Tottenham

Craig minimum expectation is always champions league football, this season is a failure regardless of the football.
