Match *** Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham Sunday 1st Dec 1:30 GMT ****

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Horrible performance. Midfield was nowhere to be seen and we simply could not keep possession.

Injuries don't help at all but doesn't excuse the awful product from some of our senior players.
Fulham had fresh legs ,rested FOR 8 DAYS! they previously played on 23 November vs Wolves), while our "legs" were tired ,because were just 2 days and half for recovery (thursday, 2-2 vs AS Roma)
 
Can't stand it

some of the guys they get on are okay but Rick Sacks who talks at a million miles an hour and keeps sayin things like "God we're all so mental on here aren't we?" "God how we do it being so mental, you're gonna have us all sectioned in a minute for all being so mad"

as he laughs away at nothing.......
So true. Whenever he does that I'm thinking "eh?"
 
For me, the best thing about today, was popping in to visit my parents for a cup of tea, and a plate of Jaffa cakes after the game. Everything about that dire performance has been said on here, and I'm seriously considering binning my ST, and reverting back to a membership next season. "The Game Is About Glory" I keep meaning to see if this slogan has been quietly dropped at the stadium, but keep forgetting.

Yeah I think that went ages ago, could be wrong. Wondered that myself at some point
 
Missed the game today as I’m having a short break in Greece. Was grinding my teeth furiously, inwardly, cursing everything about this stupid club whilst trying to pretend to all around that I’m having a good time.

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has genuinely ruined my life. How many days, weekends, months, years have been destroyed by this pathetic, culturally broken, insipid yet wholly failed group of deluded, privileged, protected wasters? Nearly 35 years since we won anything meaningful. What a shambolic embarrassment.

I honestly don’t know what to make of Ange. I want him to be the one. He seems frustrated and lost in his own idealistic fantasy land. But how can anyone ever be the one whilst living under the false fluffy cloud dictatorship of the greedy bald one and our atrocious board of materialistic henchmen.

This club is utterly undeserving of the fans. Incredible support home and away. Hordes of folk from Tottenham to Texas, from Stevenage to Seoul, utterly devoted and committed to the lilywhite shirt. Fuck knows on what basis. We’re dirty, filthy poison. In and amongst the wokery of today, surely every Tottenham ticket or purchase should come with the most serious of health warnings.

This drug don’t work.

I feel your pain. It's bad enough to arrange my life around the home fixtures, in a way I'm glad I don't have to factor in away games too.
The game today was so 'meh', the only good thing was that it didn't rain (my seat is not under cover). In fact, I think that we were fortunate to get a point out of the game. I appreciate that we have an injury crisis but I do question the attitude of some of the players - they give off an air of complacency and superiority against the so-called lesser sides.

If you go back to membership you'll have to pay those prices €85 for Chelsea!

At the moment the ST offers value for money IF you actually want to watch Spurs live

Very true, as I believe the price of every PL ticket averages out at around £55, which is good value. I just feel a bit humpy about today, and will get over it. The social aspect of going to games is a plus, and something that keeps me in attendance.

The only one for me who talks sense is Richard cracknell.If that Lee is on it I don’t listen at all,he constantly butts into people talking whilst bragging about his stats in his stupid blue book,clown.
 
Not a good performance but we are getting done by injuries and tbf poor squad selection from the EL.

Poro and the CBs being forced to play every minute because of injuries and no Spence. Maddison and Kulu being forced to play almost every minute due to Bergval not being ready and no replacement in that spot.

Son who's legs are going anyway being forced to play every minute because Obobert is injured and Moore injured also. Richie injured so Solanke was run like a dog and no actual RW cover for Johnson now Kulu is moved into the middle.

Busy Christmas period coming up also we need reinforcement in the Jan window. Will we get it?

With El Baldo in charge I doubt it but hard to slag the squad of when we have injuries and a schedule like we have
 
Tough match today, I think we are seeing the effects of playing Thursday Sundays and it's clearly effecting the players fitness in matches.

Lots of injuries and unfit players today.

Not the worst result, draw probably a fair result.

It certainly didn't deserve the boo's at the end of the match.
Some didn’t start Thursday and others have not played that much this season. Also he could have made earlier and more subs. Was there something written to say Spence couldn’t have come on for porro? Essentially this guy saved Ange v cov and look at how his been treated since!

Indeed, but perhaps if Dr Levy provided a decent squad and not one full of kids then maybe we can compete more than once a week or maybe if we good rid of likes of Richy and replaced him with someone reliable we could rest out players when we need to.
Think Ange got it wrong bringing two kids in bergvail and gray on together as well, in fact think he got most subs wrong today again.
 
Well, that’s my gripe mate. The squad depth is so utterly awful that we have our back up left back at CB and no matter how many times he plays CF Son always proves he is not a CF.

But hey so many said it was a brilliant transfer window…. It wasn’t. It was cheap and ineffective and has resulted in a lack of depth. Injuries are what they are, but there is no back up. Anyone half decent in the young set up is loaned out and what’s left is simply not enough.
100%
We have either sold or sent our on loan our own promising g youth yet kept 18 yr olds we purchased.
