Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Hate his football and I said this before we appointed him.

Will end in tears as we will keep signing old men like Perisic.

Football is about enjoyment and I don’t enjoy watching us under Conte at all.

Football is about winning. If you are not playing to win then what’s the point. Oh but hang on, old Glastonspur isn’t happy with it all, tough luck. Attractive football has got this club no where in the last 30 years. 2 league cups in 30 years, playing ‘the spurs way’. Conte has won the league in every country he’s managed in. He knows exactly what it takes to win. Do you think he gives a fuck if you don’t think it’s pretty ? No he doesn’t. He only cares about winning and that’s what it’s all about.

Absolutely. For over 2 decades we've suffered the ridicule and the ignominy of watching are traditional rivals Woolwich and Chelsea bring home the bacon year after year............While we've just sat on the sidelines amassing massive profits while winning fuck all.

That some of our fans seem happy for this to continue is beyond me. It really fucking is

For Conte football is about winning and that will never change. If winning isn’t the most important thing for you then probably best to stop watching until we have a different manager.

I prefer to win playing well. If we can’t do that then I still prefer to win. Playing well but not winning is why we haven’t won anything for 14 years.
 
I fully trust Conte, and I can take bad performances as long as we’re winning games. Don’t forget we are on a very good run in 2022, and I think that has skewed the expectations more or less, expecting to fight for the title? Maybe in 1-2 years, lads. We’re far away in quality from Man City and that gap won’t shrink in one summer transfer window and not with the amount of money we’ve spent so far.

One more thing I could say, with my limited knowledge in tactics and game management, is that he took bad decisions last night by not subbing off underperforming players earlier.
 
The issues are clear:
1) We need defenders that can play with the ball, by the moment we have none, so why the fuck not play Lenglet?
2) We need WB that are good attacking, we only have one, so that leads to our right side only having one player avaliable when we attack and that makes it a lot easier for the other teams.
3) Being easy to defend the righ side you can focus on Kane and Son.
4) If you aren't carrying the ball to the attack there's no point playing 3 upfront too.
 
God the overreaction to a draw against West Ham (who consider us their game of the season, cup final etc) when we are unbeaten in the league and nowhere near our best yet is fucking embarrassing.

A lot of these fans accuse our players of bottling it and yet they don't have the introspection to see they are doing the exact thing they accuse them of.

Have some fucking faith in Conte, this man got us CL football last season after years of misery and he has us sitting in third unbeaten and with a much tougher schedule than any of the teams above us have had.

We are 5 games into the season, 5...

I get your point and you are delivering it calmly.
So maybe you could answer my equally calm question as well -

Why is it a bad thing that people have high standards and excpectations?
Why is it a bad thing to point out questionabilities and straight up mistakes?

I have seen no-one claiming that season would be over, or we would be in deep shit or whatever.

I think it is really poor mentality to be happy or satisfied with draw against shit side that only had scored 1 goal in previous 4 games. I think that West Ham should not be a yardstick to measure us against. So excuses like "their cup final" etc are just empty talk or even worse - poor excuse. If we want great things.

That’s it. West Spam are shite. Their last hikes game, Graham Potter brought a Brighton side there that walked all over them. It’s a kop out all this talk about it been their Cup Final and a draw been a good result. Last night was a game we should have been winning. We okayed poorly and it was two dropped points.
