Right ill be there tomorrow before the game, now that Chelsea are tying to leave now is the time to put as much pressure on Tottenham to do the same
I’d save your bus fare. City and Chelsea binning this joke off is going to kill it stone dead anyway.
Back to dreaming about the UEFA Conference League final with a record breaking 22,000 in attendance in Albania. The glory of a place in the Europa League awaits the winners. We will make the quarter finals of course.
absolutely ridiculous that Man Shity and Putin’s plaything are being the “virtuous”
Clubs listening to fans. Hypocrites. This whole game is a horrible rancid puss. We just don’t want to see it for what it is.
As a foreign fan, I have no way to be on site tomorrow to protest this. But I did utilize the option that the trust encouraged and actually wrote Daniel an email. It will probably not amount to much but I have said my piece now.
For those looking to do the same here is mine if you need inspiration.

Dear Mr. Levy,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as a concerned supporter of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. I am a “modern fan”, having been a fan of the club for the past 15 years but having supported it from distant shores (Sweden). So, I have been along for the ride so to speak for most of your time as custodian of this beautiful club. Numerous times during that period I have defended you and your actions when you have been faced with criticism and backlash from the fanbase. The supposed move to Stratford, transfer windows with little investment, the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino and the Jose Mourinho hiring. I have been an understanding and rational supporter through all of this. Understanding that the development projects of the Hotspur Way training ground and the new stadium having taken up a lot of capital and focus that could have been invested in the first team instead. And that those investments were made for the long-term benefit of the club. I have been a firm believer in you and the club’s approach to growth being the “right way”. You have stuck to running Tottenham as a self-sufficient business and I commend you for that. Overall, I would say that your time as custodian of the club has been a success.
But this weekend, the club announced some news that has me deeply concerned for the future direction of the club that I love. I am deeply saddened to have read the news that we will be involved with the European Super League. To me, it means selling out our core values that makes English and European football such a great sport to be involved with. And joining a closed-circuit super league does not only abandon those values, but the entire English football pyramid as a whole. Over the years I have watched you guide this club up the food chain of English football. And seeing you burn the ladder below you and preventing other clubs to do the same in the future does not sit right with me. Your actions over the weekend have put the club, its reputation and the reputation of its fans into disrepute. And I feel that it is my duty as a fan of not only this club, but the game as a whole to speak up.
On some level, I can understand your decision. The money offered must be mouth-watering. And if you had denied your invitation another club would surely have taken it. But as a fan of the game of football who holds its values close to my heart I must object. I also question if you and the other chairmen/owners of the smaller clubs involved with this project know exactly what it is that you are sacrificing for financial gain. You are sacrificing the possibility of competitive sporting success (something you have done so well to improve us in over the last decade) for what just seems to be a larger pile of money at the end of the day.
These recent actions lead me to having to question your status as custodian of this great club, as you like to call yourself. If you are willing to abandon the core values of English football for this super league, you are not only putting this club that we both love so much at risk, but clubs all over the football pyramid. Your actions will not only affect Tottenham, but it will affect Crystal Palace, Queens Park Rangers, Leyton Orient and more. Even clubs all over Europe will feel the aftershocks of this decision and thus I must implore you to reconsider. The beauty of football is that it includes both the potential for great success, but also great risk. Success and glory must be earned, not bought. Up until recently I believed that you agreed with this notion. But now I must question if you do?
I do not know you Mr. Levy. I do not know the inner workings of your mind and what I do know about you comes from the interviews that you have given over the years. But I like to believe that you are more than just a businessman out to make a profit. That you are as you claim, a fan of this club first and foremost. And I do hope that you prove that you are a fan to the rest of us and abandon this vain and foolish endeavour.
I shall not keep you long Mr. Levy. As I understand that you are a busy man. But I shall leave you with a quote from Bill Nicholson, arguably the greatest manager that Spurs has ever had.
“The public can’t be kidded. They know what they want to see, what is good and what is bad and what is just average. At least I believe they do.”
Among others, it is the legacy of Bill Nicholson that you are a custodian of in your role as chairman of this club. And I hope that you can see reason and realize that by joining this Super League in search for artificial glory, you are abandoning and besmirching the legacy that we, the supporters of this club, “legacy” and modern alike, have entrusted you with safe keeping.
Good day to you Mr. Levy. I do not expect a response. But now I have said my piece and I am looking forward to better news from the club soon.

It’s called south London speak.. it ain’t bizarre- it’s just - you ain’t south London!
If what was too much for me? The team take zero revenue from posting on this forum. That a competition that concentrates wealth is too much for some is bizarre. That IS the Premier League! Its a strange hill to die on when six thousand five hundred people are dead in Qatar. When people who behead more folk than isis run these sainted ball kicking institutions. I'm sorry but if you can't see the whole bloody shit show is a moral vacuum then you never will. Never mind that we enjoy following our clubs and have such fun with our mates..six thousand dead let that sink in, and folk want outrage at this its laughable.
Exactly, people are actually delusional.
It would be a load of bollocks and more overtime for the old bill - no chance.
I fucking love America.
A lot of UK and EU citizens, especially on this forum, run America down, but that's only because they're jealous - they desperately tell themselves that their lives in rabbit hutches aren't so bad, but they'd move to America in a heartbeat if they had the skills and wherewithal to do so.
Twitter making it seems like the protest is shifting to ENIC out
Oh shut up cunt. You are just as bad.
Always happy to take it offline.
Are there many boozers open in Tottenham that we can watch the game tomorrow?
I've lived in America. Some parts are nice some parts ain't just like everywhere else. Its all SSDD.
If Levy doenst get the fuck out of this now, people are gonna have his head tomorrow - every min we still havnt pulled out of this thing is worse for our reputation
As it should be.
There will still be a protest tomorrow outside the ground.
But it is Levy Out now that is the aim
