Match ***Bournemouth v Spurs - 8.15pm Thurs 5th December (Amazon Prime)***

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Utterly bewildering subs taking Bissouma and Maddison off, we can no longer play any football through midfield. It’s totally fucking pointless having 8 forward players out there if you haven’t got any method of getting the fucking ball to them.

Son is now playing as a fucking 8
I agree but what the fuck were those two providing I the first place.
 
To have got tickets at the Bournemouth tonight you basically needed to go to every game for the past 5 years.

I won't have people making inane statements like this, yes you can have the Bournemouth ticket but are you going to every Tottenham game over the season?
Doesn't work like that. I have 300 points. I apply to every game but everyone ahead apply for tickets and sell them or give them away to maintain their points. Ever since I got my season ticket i've applied for almost every away game that I can physically attend. So I never manage to get ahead. Last season I lost more points than I earned with the lack of cup gamees. System is rigged.
 
Away tickets need to go to a ballot. The whole system has become a rort that is impossible to break into.

People like me who had accrued loads of loyalty points as non ST people in old WHL days had those points wiped when we became ST members in 2017.


It's practically impossible to ear n enough loyalty points to get away game privileges now.
I have conflicting views on this subject. I also became a ST holder at Wembley and since then have done every possible away game ( Burnley/Mboro etc on Wednesday nights and many European aways ) to boost my points total. I now have close to 400 points and can get tickets for most away games. I feel I have earned the right to get these tickets so am not entirely comfortable with the idea of a ballot system.
However……. is the away ticketing points system being abused on an industrial scale by the point hoarders? Absolutely, 100%. It is this abuse that needs to be stopped but I have absolutely no idea how that could be implemented.
I also totally agree that unless you already have300+ points it will be virtually impossible to accumulate sufficient points going forward ( unless the points hoarders can be stopped ) Hopefully a solution can be found.
 
They’ve probably travelled hours, spent a load of money, on a Thursday evening, crap weather, and watched a shite performance. I’d say they’re entitled to give a bit back and that’s coming from someone who has never booed once in the 150+ games or so I’ve attended.

Calling someone a fat c*nt ain’t very nice but Poste could find the gym door, it wouldn’t kill him.
I have managed to do the last 3 Newcastle away games as it's one of the few I managed to scrap points for, so don't talk to me about travel costs and the poxy weather.

As for your last comment, what that shows what kind of human you really are. Blocked.
 
For all those who think it's fine to call Ange a fat cunt should watch the post match interview. Despite losing a match of football, HE'S A HUMAN BEING.

If losing a game of football means you react like this then, you really need to step away from football, because you aren't right, mentally.
 
On the stream I was watching they gave the full stat. Updated with last night's loss it's P15, Won 0, Drawn 5, Lost 10. Five points out of a possible 45.

That's shocking.

To be fair it looked like it was just the one bell end at the top screaming that not the people he was engaging with at the bottom
 
So... thought to check my local betting side odds for the game.

We are in such a brilliant, entertaining and upcoming state that if we face BOURNEMOUTH, the most likely outcome is that Bournemouth will win it. Yep. We have reached the stage where Cherries go into game as favorites.

And if it goes like that, and at the same time Fulham would manage to win vs Brighton, then we'd be sitting in 10 th place in table. Just 5 points ahead of West Ham, that is about to sack manager for very poor results on their scale.

But hey "we are top scorers of the league and no questions could be asked about Ange" am I right :D ?

Just.
As.
Expected.

Favorites won the game.

And so clearly too. I'd say honest scoreline could have been like 1-5 or smth ...

I wouldn't use that kind of language or tone myself, hence redacted. But if you're going to give it large, square up to the fans, and get aggressive yourself then don't be shocked if you get a bit thrown back at you, pretty basic stuff really. Not the first time he's had a go at the fans either.

Maybe his pugnacious aggressive approach isn't helping matters. Just a thought.
 
didn't see the game last night, work Christmas party.

watched 60 mins of it this morning, that was absolutely disgraceful performance. As bad as crystal palace but with the amount of players missing it made for an even more shambolic outcome. none of them looked remotely decent, solanke showed effort at least i guess.

I want to enjoy my Christmas, think ill just bin off watching or caring till the new year

p.s Fuck off Levy, fucking lizard
 
Anyway for all of Ange's faults Levy is the main problem here. Something very fetid at the heart of the club. lose on Sunday and it gets nasty in the stadium imho.
Agreed. I so wish it was working out with Ange. Him and Levy messed up the squad though:

- too few seasoned hands (Perisic, Hojberg)
- Son in decline
- Solanke the only elite signing in the summer

I think he will be sacked if he loses on Sunday. But maybe that's optimistic? I still hope for a turnaround, but I know that Ange is tactically naive.
 
I can't disagree because they are lacking , but here is my issue with them , even if they are not playing for the manager show some effing character and play for your supporters , you know the people who help pay their wages .
This is where the huge money has ruined the game , win, lose or draw they know they are getting paid , and more than likely not the ones who are going to get sacked .
We can blame Ange for the game plan , tactics and subs , but it all on the players for a lack of heart and effort .
The problem with this, is it keeps the manager in the job. Players eventually figure out when a coach isn't going to get anywhere and this is what they do.
Sometimes it's best to just speed up the inevitable and that's why players do it IMO.

This isn't a "problem" with this bunch of players. It's just something that happens all around the world and has done for decades.

Ange is toast now. I reckon a beating at home by Chelsea and that's it for him.
United and one of Brentford or Newcastle get 3 points and we're down where we actually belong in 12th.
All that fucking bollocks the other week about only being 3 points from 3rd.
Well, it's 8 now. And the games are getting more difficult than as we play teams IN form rather than out of form
 
As much as we all know Levy is at the center of our problems, he isn't going anywhere ever.
The best we as fans can hope for, is that he gets lucky and hires a coach who can get 100-110% out ot a squad, rather than a rank amateur that barely gets 50% most weeks.
