I’m meant to be miserable when we lose to Ipswich
When we beat Ipswich 4-1
When Woolwich lose and fuck up their title challenge
When Chelsea lose
I’m meant to be fucking miserable
Well that does not sound like a whole lot of fun as a way of following one’s team . I think I will stick with the more traditional be annoyed when we lose , happy when we win , really happy when we win and our rivals lose . Call me nostalgic but I never really saw the problem with that approach back in the day .
Anyone else a fan of the retro style of supporting Spurs
The closest professional club near us was Gillingham after Maidstone United foldedOh wait that's fukkyards away from where I grew up
Was Charlton the only Football club near you or did your teachers just support em?
I enjoyed it fine thanks but it doesn't suddenly make us world beaters. I still think that we need to invest heavily, especially in midfield.And your point is? After the run we were on, that could easily have been us in the bottom 3.
I don't get this "we were playing a bottom 3 club". Big deal, we won you muppet, enjoy it.
Agree Madistone is a shithole - had an ex from there whom I didn't was the local bike to a point where half of Kent knew but after a month I figured it out & moved onThe closest professional club near us was Gillingham after Maidstone United folded
*Edit - I know they are back but honestly who really cares? Maidstone is a fucking shit heap.
I loved reading this to & fro - I agree with you it shouldn't be a big whoop beating Ipswich, even though I Enjoyed being there as soon as we beat them at the stadium everyone I was with said this after 'OK we have Citeh next'.I enjoyed it fine thanks but it doesn't suddenly make us world beaters. I still think that we need to invest heavily, especially in midfield.
Yo we've disagreed in the past on certain things but I've dealt with this User in the past it's like talking to a brick wall but It is fun to break down his dialectics once yo do you get tumble weed.We do not have the lowest wage bill, we have the lowest wage ratio. This is not good, and we do need to increase it. But it's getting overly focused on in the past 6 months because we've made a concerted effort to conduct the squad rebuild that's been needed for years and has resulted in many, many high wage earners being shipped off the wage bill (Kane, Dier, Ndombele, etc.).
This has created a lot of spare room in the wage budget, even if we were to stick to our historical 50-55% of revenue level. This is precisely why you're wrong and we won't lose players like Spence because they're offered larger wages elsewhere.
He sold Kane. Kane who gave an interview during the season wanking off to the prospect of playing with KDB at City. Kane who flew off to Florida during preseason in protest to our refusal to sell him to City as he wanted. We made him play out another season, during which he sulked for months and played like shite, then sold him to a club in Germany we've yet to have to play or compete with in any meaningful way.
Fact - Levy was a Spurs season ticket holder long before he had a professional involvement in football.
Fact - Levy attends more football matches (including away to fucking Tamworth) than any other current, and likely any former, Premier League chairman.
Inference - Levy clearly does care about the football. Whether or not his blundering gets in the way or not it's a ridiculous charge to claim he doesn't care about what happens on the pitch. He's not contractually obligated to sit in a drafty "stand" in January watching us play fucking Tamworth.
Anyway, as always I hate when some of you make factually wrong statements and then my correcting them paints me as some sort of Levy supporter or apologist. I'd help pack up his office if he ever fucked off, just to get him out the door sooner. But some of you post some complete rubbish.
I have ideas why this tactic has become prevalent in the PL but for me it's too risky, I'm not talking about a usual backpass to secure time to reform the players but this whole horse shoe bullshit in my opinion doesn't work unless the whole backline including the GK is 100% as it opens up the GK for some fukkeries.Two outstanding performances.
But I am still not sure about the passing out from the back.
That worries me shitless on occasions.
Don't worry man I've come to the realisation the person you are referring to is a bit of a curmudgeon & deals in a lot of hyperbolic statements - I've also come to realise they don't actually read responses they take in the information then somehow refuses to see any other points than what they want to convey.So have in got this right?

And AFC and Fullham both losing at home!Goons getting beat and Chavs getting beat one after then after on MOTD.
Life is great!
So, meaning players can just wrestle and punch each other off even without the ball at other areas of the field and they are not fouls.I know exactly what VAR were discussing; "he wasn't going to reach the ball".
It was a foul, no excuse.
The gaffer's head has turned...
Seems to me he will hardly be warm to us fans anymore after the social media incident, which is a shame if really the case. He needs to feel appreciated more by our fans.
Didn’t his Dad play for Ipswich? Maybe out of respect to him and them?
