The other top sides have much stronger depth then Tottenham currently which is sort of his point. Not sure how that equates to clueless nonsense addressing the lack of quality depth is the JTW.More clueless nonsense. Name one top four side that was able to strengthen with an assured first team starter this past window? Folks like you seem to think there is some warehouse just off the A406 where you can go and easily pick up a top flight player off the shelf at any point during January.
This side is more than capable of beating Liverpool. Crying that we lost this game because the club didn't invest in a typically difficult transfer window is a monumental overreaction.
Don't you think it's a bit off asking Spurs fans to be patient. After all, we haven't won a league title for 56 years. Can you name just one club as big as Tottenham Hotspur that has gone that long without a league title ? I think we're a pretty patient bunch .Why don't people like you be a bit patient? Is the massive new stadium, NFL and state of the art training ground not and attempt to lay the groundwork for making us a bigger global brand....which in turn would then make it easier to but the star names you're talking about?
Too many people want it all yesterday. They're not content with us making two steps forward and one step back, gradually over time getting better and better. I mean come on, compare the mid table farce we were twenty years ago to what we are now. Anyone with half a brain should at least be prepared to wait and see how the club approaches things once the stadium is done. But no...
The other top sides are also a great deal wealthier than us. We are not on their level yet financially. It is harder for us to just go out in January and pick up a top money signing. That is why the club has spent the past few years laying the groundwork for moire income and a grater global presence. Or do you guys not grasp that?The other top sides have much stronger depth then Tottenham currently which is sort of his point.

And you can guarentee when the performance is as shit as this one they're piling on to message boards just like this one, and melting.Well, I did say it was a shit performance above. But most top teams have shit performances at some point during the season. .
Wow, this sense of entitlement right here is what I can't stand.Don't you think it's a bit off asking Spurs fans to be patient. After all, we haven't won a league title for 56 years. Can you name just one club as big as Tottenham Hotspur that has gone that long without a league title ? I think we're a pretty patient bunch .
Gent and Fulham, we're coming for you
No, some of of their fans are. Just like some of our fans do.And you can guarentee when the performance is as shit as this one they're piling on to message boards just like this one, and melting.
Hang on. You misunderstood my post. In reply to your request for patience, I asked you to name a bigger club than Spurs that ain't won the title since 1961. The 3 you mention have all won the title in that time.Wow, this sense of entitlement right here is what I can't stand.
Tell this to fans of clubs like Nottingham Forest and Leeds. They were once big clubs as well. So was Everton, and they won the league NINE times prior to the Premier League era. Everton haven't won a major trophy in years either. .

Our away form 2016-17:
Played 17
Won 5
Drawn 7
Lost 5
Lost to Liverpool (League cup), Monaco, Chelsea, United and now Liverpool again.
1) That record isn't acceptable for a top 6 club, never mind a top 4 and especially not for a title challenger.
Chelsea: 14 away games, won 9
City: 20 away games, won 12
Woolwich: 18 away games, won 11
Liverpool: 17 away games, won 9
United: 17 away games, won 9
Please don't say "We can't win every game, you expect too much". I don't expect to win every game, but no one can say that our performance today and our away record this year is a positive.
2) A major worry is that our away form carries on into Wembley when we move there next season. We struggled in the Champions League there. The only thing propping our season up at the moment is our incredible home form - if we take away next season things could look pretty glum.
3) This causes us to be knocked out of many competitions, most notably Europe.
We got to Dortmund and lose 3-0 - knocked out of EL
We go to Fiorentina and lose 2-0 - knocked out of EL
We're not going to qualify from the CL, get far in the EL and it makes it very difficult for us to win an FA or League cup if you're only winning 1 third of your away games.
I don't expect us to win every away game, but our away form is a huge worry right now. It's regressed from last season. And before you cunt me off, saying I talk shit, before the game Poch said, “We are looking at that,” Pochettino said. “[We struggle at] top-six clubs because we have had some draws and some losses. It’s true that this is a good opportunity to change that stat.”
After the game Poch said that we will "Need to fight for top 6". Top 6. This speaks volumes and clearly shows he's worried about the top 4. Luckily many of our games left are home games.
Oh, what a surprise. Look who's here to pile on the negativity AGAIN. I could've pout money on this post appearing. I swear you only come here to troll and feed of their melters.Happy Clappy brigade: "You can't win every game!"

Hey. That's all well and good. just pointing out your original point is a little flawed since Spurs clearly have the least amount of quality depth vs the the top sides. Or do you not grasp that ?The other top sides are also a great deal wealthier than us. We are not on their level yet financially. It is harder for us to just go out in January and pick up a top money signing. That is why the club has spent the past few years laying the groundwork for moire income and a grater global presence. Or do you guys not grasp that?
