No I absolutely agree.
Just massively unfortunate when you're sat by one.

The post I agreed with was not claiming you couldn't be bothered to support the team because you live in another country, it was more saying who the fuck are you,someone who doesn't go to games, to tell the us, the fans who do go to games how far we should have to travel. I know for a fact if I did live abroad and I wouldn't be attending most games I wouldn't have such strong views on where the games are played.
Oh Boo fucking hoo......get out your arse, some of you think going to games is some right of passage to an opinion. Travelled from South to North London every week for over a decade, bus, train, three tubes and a four hour round trip.
Big fucking deal

This was an annoying one.
First off, I wasn't against the idea of Son at LWB against Swansea, just because the offensive threat would be so low, his defensive responsibilities wouldn't be too high. Although, when it was getting clearer we likely weren't going to score I think Poch got it wrong.
Moving Trippier to LB was a terrible mistake. He didn't take on anyone or even show the threat of crossing with his left. Poch basically neutered Trippier's best assist with his crossing by doing this. If he didn't want to play Davies at all, he should've just played 4 atb with Verts at LB. At least we'd have some semblance of a 2nd threat on the left side. In the second half, especially once Son was taken off, which I thought was the wrong sub (Should've been Alli who was poor), all attacks came from the right or middle.
Now we should've had 1 maybe 2 penalties at minimum but that's not an excuse for losing this game. I think Poch got his adjustments very wrong and it was a big contributing factor to the draw, which feels like a loss.

South to North London. So fucking want? I travel from South West London. What does that prove? Fuck all. You did a one hour tube journey. Congratulations. That's not the same as travelling into London and then having to go all the way out of town to a hard to get to a soulless shithole in Milton Keynes while some cunt sat on the internet telling you that you are a shit fan who was too lazy to travel out of town while they aren't even prepared to go themselves.
Disgusting attitude.
Sonny at left back when we had Vertonghen who plays there at international level as well as Aurier or KWP who can play there is a disaster waiting to happen. We should have had either Foyth in there in a back 3 of Toby, Davinson and Juan or played Dier at the back and started Winksy.
Trying to push Son into Left wing back when hes clearly an attacker (the Spurs website last year had him as a striker remember) is mental. Poch has had a few key injuries happen in Wanyama, Rose and with Dembele & Davies needing resting. It left us needing Dier in defence and midfield.
Personally if Poch wanted his usual formation I'd have played
Lloris
Alderweireld
Sanchez
Foyth / Dier
Aurier
Dier/ Winks
Vertonghen
Eriksen
Alli
Son
Kane
If he felt it was too soon for Foyth he should have switched it up and not try to pigeonhole players
Aurier, Vertonghen and KWP should have been ahead of Sonny at LWB. If we don't watch ourselves with Sonny he'll start thinking he's a bit part player and will want to move on. Frustrating game yesterday that seems like a step back after taking one forward during midweek
We have a few frustrating games like this each season. Poch and the players will learn from this and adapt so that next time we have a set of visitors that just park the bus. We will be better prepared. This came in one of our tightest periods schedule wise so it is not that surprising that it happened tbh. Not trying to defend the result, just making sense of some of the factors in why it happened (hectic and tight schedule, our current starting LB runned ragged, a couple of players on the injury list who could have otherwise contributed to a better result etc).
We analyse, we learn, we adapt, we move on. We're 5th in the table right now and the season is long.

Absolutely agree. We're 5 points off top and 2 off of third. Just means we have to do a bit of chasing. Annoying that evenly poised games haven't gone our way yet and we really should be sitting there with an extra point vs Chelsea and 2 x 2 extra points vs Burnley and Swansea. Should be 13 points at present so it's time we play catch up now, which we've shown in the past we're able to do
The fact that we know exactly their game plan coming into the game. Surely poch did his homework and created a game plan that would break down both of their conservative game plans
For what? Stating my displeasure at the fact we dropped pts against burnley and Swansea st home? Guess you're fine aiming for top 4 this year.
AGAIN, what the fuck has that got to do with calling out other Spurs fans and your mediocrity comments.
Last year was bollocks if you weren't a ST holder. MK Dons has a smaller capacity than we had last season.
Nothing to do with snobbery.
We could have sold an extra 10k season tickets, a lot of people would be dissapointed.
They would have not given an amnesty either.
This way the club can sell all ST in theory more people can see the team play as there will always be tickets available over the 40k
MK Dons would also have had the same problem. St holders buying becuase they had to and to guarantee a ST next year. Some not planning to attend all games.
It wouldn't have been full every week.
Also MK Dons have to use it too. Wembley won't be used as much. I think there are 3 more events this year, 2 NFL and an England game last in October.
The club capped the season tickets at 40k to ensure those were guaranteed ST availability for the new stadium. We have to give another 5 k to community. So 15 k left for corporate general sale
Couldn't have done that at MK Dons.
They could have sold an extra 10 when the can double that virtually guaranteeing they sell all ST for the new ground they will prefer that.
That all bodes well for the finance.
You'd think we'd done a West Ham and moved there permanently the way some bleat on about it.
This year - "we hate Wembley, screw the extra ticket sales - the extra fans are cunts!"
Next year - "Why are we spending lots on new players and their wages?"
EXACTLY!
Because we accept draws against teams like burnley and Swansea. Then when you demand more from the players and coaches you're told to get behind he players.
Who "accepts" draws? This is bullshit. Every fan wants to win every game. What some do is try to be realistic about where we are in the grand scheme of things and what we can do when we are in a temporary home. In other words, we try not to be too reactionary and act like the world is ending.
