Oh well, let's come back to this post when, not if, it happens

This is what some of you guys do, live in a state of perpetual misery, manifesting in the 'Spursy' mentality expecting things to go wrong, Has the club beat you down so much that this now your default mindset? Or are you just setting your own expectations so if it happens you can say I told you so?

Must take up a lot of energy to be permanently outraged all the time. 😆

Clearly the first.
1 Trophy in 24 years is dismal by any metric for a club of our size

Do you think Aston Villa or Newcastle fans beat up their club so much even though its been YEARS since they both haven't won a trophy? They are also big clubs going on a trophy drought worse than ours btw...

Why is it only our fans that outrage away and constantly bring up our failures every time they get the chance to?

Also isn't it but lying to yourself bringing up transfer failures over thr years and just ignoring the transfer successes?

Let’s see how the Villa fans are in 22 years with their current owners , who achieved CL football very swiftly . Newcastle‘s owners are very recent as well ,unless you were living under a rock you would know they hounded Mike Ashley out. Admittedly ENIC have done a much better job than Ashley but that is a very very very low bar.
Villa fans hated Doug Ellis by the way , absolutely hated him

Just because there are worse smackheads out there doesn’t mean we aren’t a smackhead
 
Not so sure as we never stopped those transistions when the forwards would bumble and give up the ball too easily. All you have to do is get tight to our forwards and they will lose the ball. Neither strong enough or good enough to keep the ball. Only time they are good is when there is space.

What's that got to do with the press?

Our issue was definitely forwards not being able to keep the ball and it leading to unnecessary defensive transitions.

Newcastle fans were in constant revolt for around 20 years, John Hall, Mike Ashley and numerous managers from Hughton, Pardew, Steve Bruce etc Constantly went on about lack of spend. Bang on with Villa and Doug Ellis as well, that was a lot more vicious than anything we've seen.

Could add Liverpool with Gillette and Hicks and the way they went after Roy Hodgson. Utd with the Glaziers and several managers and these are clubs that pick up trophies during those struggling years. Woolwich and West Ham in recent years as well.
 
With Hojbjerg out, watch us go for Conor Gallagher at a premium price.

Typical Spurs business, letting good players go and getting inferior replacements.

The theme for the last many many years.

Berbatov - Pavlyuchenko
Trippier - Aurier
Aurier - Royale
Kane - Richarlison (although Richie came before Kane left)

Pretty sure there's more but I cant recall

You aren't putting Hojberg on a level with Berbatov and Kane are you?

Wtf is Aurier doing on that list? and Royal was a downgrade from Aurier?

I don't want Gallagher and we don't need him but he's a massive upgrade on PEH if that is a deal we did.

Emery is a there or thereabouts manager imo. 4-7th place and nothing more. Bit overated imo.
