That video's a really great watch by the way.

The last chunk is Postecoglou's answer when he was asked why he made an ear-cupping gesture towards his own supporters.

"It's all going to be refereed by AI soon, we may as well dispense with the players at some point."

I think we should open up a new Get Involved thread, to run alongside our current Ange Postecoglou one.

Has VAR gone too far?

Need a laugh this morning?

On last night's live text somebody said VAR should get booked for time-wasting...

Ange Postecoglou, who has often criticised VAR, became embroiled in a lively post-match interview with Sky Sports.

This came after he saw midfielder Pape Sarr's goal ruled out by the video assistant for a foul in the build-up on Moises Caicedo.

"It's killing the game, mate. It's not the same game it used to be," he said.

"We all sat on our couches last night and watched TV [when Everton's James Tarkowski was not sent off for a high challenge on Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister] and I guarantee you if Jarred Gillett was VAR last night, it would've been a different outcome, so you just don't know what we're going to get.

"You are standing around for 12 minutes. It's just killing the game, but no-one cares about that. They just love the drama and controversy and I'm sure there will be 24 hours of discussion about it and that's what everyone wants - they're not really interested that it's killing the spectacle of the game.

"If a referee sees that and he needs to see it for six minutes, what's clear and obvious about it?

"Last night we were all sat on our couches and saw one replay and thought: 'Oh my God.'

"Tonight we sat there and were waiting for six minutes for something that VAR official Jarred Gillett thought was clear and obvious - it's crazy, it's madness.

"We accept it and have to take the fall out from it. Clear and obvious? What does that suggest? That it's on the first replay. That's why the game is going the way it is."

Let's keep looking at the stats.

Tottenham's loss to Chelsea was their 16th of the 2024-25 Premier League season.

That number of defeats is more than any they have picked up in the previous 21 campaigns - and there is still eight games to play.

The last time they lost 16 or more games in a single Premier League campaign was the 2003-04 season where they suffered 19 losses.

That number equalled their record number of defeats in the Premier League era, also suffering 19 in 1993-94.

Should they lose three of their final eight fixtures, which is not beyond the realms of possibility - they will once again match that unwanted record.

Lose four, and they'll break it.

That's the thing, if Tottenham win the Europa League, trophy-wise Ange Postecoglou will be the most successful Spurs manager since Juande Ramos.

Would he get a contract extension?

• Tottenham's lowest Premier League finish remains 15th in 1994 under manager Ossie Ardiles - when survival was only ensured in their penultimate match.
• They have now lost 16 league games this season - their record in a 20-team league is 19, set in 2003-04.
• Since the Premier League's inception in 1992, only six times have Spurs lost 16 or more league matches in a campaign.
• Spurs' lowest points tally in a Premier League season - and in fact since three points for a win was introduced in 1981 - is 44. They need 11 points from their final eight games to pass that tally.
• With 16 defeats in 30 matches, Spurs' loss percentage this season is 53% - and they haven't lost more than half of their league matches over a whole season since 1934-35. They lost exactly half of their league matches in 1953-94, 1974-75, 1976-77 - when they were relegated - and 2003-04.
• Postecoglou has only won 44 points from his past 39 league matches in charge - stretching back over the end of last season.

Oh heck. Not the first time I've tried to rub a Spurs trophy out of the record books. Remember the 1903 Sheriff of London Charity Shield debacle?

"Dramatically underqualified".

Strong words.

Out of interest, what are the entry requirements for the Tottenham job? A trophy? Multiple trophies? A B/6 in GCSE English and Maths?

There's a disconnect between the two [Tottenham fans and Ange Postecoglou] at the moment. It's not ideal for the manager.

He's got some big games ahead. He's got to keep his head up, got to keep going, working hard and believing in what they do.

If Lee has supported Tottenham since 1985 he has seen his team lift two major trophies. The 1991 FA Cup and 2008 League Cup.

See also the 1991 Charity Shield and 2019 Audi Cup.

Postecoglou is the first Spurs manager to lose his first four matches against Chelsea, while they have fewer points in London derbies this season than any of their neighbours - and the bigger picture offers no solace.

With eight games left, Spurs are 14th, and could well finish outside the top 10 for the first time in 17 years. They are now battling to avoid their worst season in the Premier League era.

Seriously though, Spurs fans, how much of your side's recent poor form is down to the players on the pitch?
