If this board hasn't called up Xabi Alonso's agent to at least ask what it would take, they should all be thrown into a tar pit.

The thing about Thomas Frank is: he needs to be immediately sacked.

FRANK IS NOT THE GUY. SACK HIM!!!!!!! NOW

Been out for delicious Korean food for lunch so not only didn’t have to watch Spurs lose at home to one of the worst teams in the league but didn’t even register the score until part way through the second half. Was really nice until I checked the score. Can we sack him now please?

Just fucking sack him

When people called the takeover 'sportswashing,' there was an angry backlash from Newcastle fans and a promise to be 'critical friend' of Saudi. Four years on, just after the owner had more people executed than in any other year of his reign, the Supporters Trust is recruiting extras for Saudi Air.

Should I believe the completely made up rumours about Alonso replacing Frank at Spurs from a click bait nonsense source?

If I was Xabi Alonso I would simply manage Tottenham Hotspur to an era of unfathomable domestic dominance and continental success, but that's just me I guess

VINAI GET ON THE PHONE YOU LAZY BASTARD

So now there’s a good alternative on the market… Doubt we’d convince him to take over at Spurs but nice to dream. www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

The Board said we need to be able to compete on four fronts. We are currently competing in 1/4 and without a miracle draw don’t see how we get through CL playoffs to R16. By that metric he has to go. So does Lange/Fabio for the level of the squad which is not at a level to execute that mandate.

Probably not a pen but why is that a yellow?

What would you say was Thomas Frank’s plan for the second half? I cannot make out anything that looks like an idea or approach.

What a goal Tel!

Pleased to see Bergvall, Xavi and Tel in the team, less so the return of the Bentinha double pivot. But COYS anyway.

I feel like if Spurs played this way all the time and still had the same W/L record this season there'd be a lot more patience with Frank.

FT 0-0. I really hope that is the worst football match that takes place in 2026, in any league, at any level. If there's anything worse than that, something's gone wrong.

That was complete anti football dross from Spurs and Brentford. And worst of all Frank has ruined our no 0-0 draw record too.

This is such a hard watch, up there with the most boring Spurs teams. When we were struggling in the league last year, my main thought on how to fix it wasn’t ’let’s be a shit version of Arsenal mixed with Pulis era Stoke’. Nice to see Tel finally get some minutes though I guess.

Two poor teams playing very basic football that’s good enough to keep you in the league but not a lot more. I know Frank didn’t have many options at 10 but feels like he generally takes the most negative option and then that reflects in the way we play.

A win is a win but that was a tough watch even with the 2 disallowed goals.

Glad we’re going to stodge it up even more with Paulinha coming on. Don’t want to risk any chance of stringing some passes together.

Really pleased for Archie Gray. Weird situation where us winning but playing really badly is not satisfying at all. Provides no more confidence in Frank but makes it likely he will last longer. Really poor performance after a week’s prep - can’t be any excuses about the number of games here.

We were poor again, referee was even worse. Probably buys Frank some time that players did some really stupid stuff and the referee gives him some excuses for losing.

I think that John Brooks might've saved Thomas Frank's job there.

Stupid from Romero but wish Neville would fuck off.

The red card and the lack of foul for the second Liverpool goal are contentious and debatable. The rest of the refereeing has been abysmal.

This is why I hate Premier league refs.

Gary Neville can fuck off as well

This ref is fucking appalling. I’m pretty sure Van Dijk did that to one of our players a couple of seasons ago and got nothing for it. Stupid tackle but never a red.

That’s just never ever a red card challenge. What are we doing

Arteta's such a dick man

That was an irredeemably bad half. Thought we might press in this shape like against PSG, but sitting that deep with no way of passing it through the lines or initiating a counter attack is asking for trouble. This Spurs performance is making Pulis’ Stoke look like peak Pep Barcelona.

Downsides, awful game against an awful team. Upsides, seeing the disappointment on the faces of the awful team and their fans after their time wasting didn’t work.

Get in

When it gets to 75 minutes onwards they might as well shake hands because there’s no way Wolves are letting any football happen from then until the end of the game and the refs always buy it. We’ve been poor particularly second half but hate these types of games so much.

Hate Wolves so much, every year they stink up the place and score a jammy goal, then dive, feign injury and try and waste as much time as possible.

Funny half that, Spurs really sloppy for a chunk of it but still dominated most of the half and had enough chances to be ahead despite not being that great. Would have loved Bergvall’s volley to go in.

Ref determined to try and help West Ham here

Absolute bullshit. When that happened against us it was weak defending but somehow that’s a foul for West Ham?

Spurs cannot resist losing before an international break. Love maximising the time for discontent.

Johnson again ole ole. Great win at the Etihad and thoroughly deserved. Made all the better by watching at the pub with an Arsenal fan.#COYS

Remember kids it’s self deprecating humour > self loathing. That open bus parade energy is who we are. Enjoy your day.

You and me both Alasdair you and me both

I’m a maroon who knows nothing about football but the Eze and MGW’s deals collapsing feels frustrating, embarrassing, and confusing. People should be encouraged to express that. On the other hand, up the Spurs!

Surely if you’re not upset about us missing out on Eze you must be frustrated at us wasting lots of time negotiating for him? I just don’t see a way to spin this window as being in any way positive at this stage. Those in charge bear responsibility - they have agency in the outcome of our transfers.

Man, I wish I had the faith and historical evidence to defend Levy as much as some of you guys.

I find that I'm less bothered about the player, much as I like him, and more about the symbolism and the way that Levy has made us a laughing stock yet again.

Whatever people say about Eze not being a good fit for Spurs needs, can’t see how it’s not really bad to waste weeks on 2 failed transfers and go from thinking we might get Savinho & Eze to now still only have signed Kudus who improves the 1st team. While our rivals improve with a player we wanted.
