Wise up. There's nothing fucking professional about how we're run as a football Club with supposed ambition is there....

Sometimes it takes someone in a more influential position to speak up when things aren't being done right.

These owners are taking the fucking hand. And Romero knows it.

With the benefit of hindsight, do you seriously think Conte was wrong to call out they bastards at the top?

Everything that’s happened since has totally vindicated Conte’s behavior, and he went up in my estimation for having a go at them.

They’ve gotten an easy ride for far too long. We need to start protesting on the same scale as the Newcastle fans did with Ashley, it’s that serious.
I agree sign me up , I can’t do Saturdays, Sundays , Tuesdays , Wednesdays , also there might be the occasional Monday and Friday I can’t do.

Exactly..
.....He's one of us. He's fighting our corner.

And all some of our fans can do is shit on him for doing so.

They are a disgrace
 
And how do you know he's not said it upstairs, and frustrated that nothing ever changes, uses his his platform to say to fans that they're as frustrated as we are?

But, that wouldn't matter because you have a weird vendetta against him. If Micky did this, you'd scream at how brave he was.

You can not like some of the stuff he does, he's like marmite here, but can't dig him out for this. Unbelievable.

As a team you win together you lose together.

Romero and VDV have both been at fault for some of the goals Spurs have conceded in the last three seasons; when they have been available to play.

VDV joined the culture that has evolved during Romero's time at the club.

I'd give him a season without Romero around just in case he can improve.

Spurs are bigger than both these players though.

I would not lose any sleep if either or both of them left.

They are not Ledley, Toby or super Jan.
 
All these new execs and directors and we’ve signed one player. And loaned a kid who can’t even get a start in the SPL.

New custodians, leadership and management needed throughout the club.

You’re the one that needs to wise up if you think Romero is doing this for any other than purely selfish reasons rather than the benefit of the club as a whole.

We need to be putting pressure on them to fuck off from all corners. Chants, walkouts, protests outside the ground, stopping spending money on the club just like they do. Make it so the media; Neville, Carragher and co. can’t ignore it, and have to talk about it at every turn.

We will never go anywhere as a club until we’re rid of these parasites.
Everything Conte said was right and what most supporters have been saying for over a decade. But he did it primarily because he wanted to be sacked so he could go back to Italy. I think most supporters agreed with him but only criticized him for the way he said it.

Yeah I'm very tired of both of them tbh. A season that isn't a total fucking catastrophe could change my opinion probably.

The either or clan are just so fucking weird. Liking a player or manager doesn't have to be tribal, is more my point. But this guy, and a couple other lunatics feel the need to dig him out any time he does anything. Micky has been a nightmare with the things he's done this season, but is "captain material". If one isn't, both aren't.

Yeah if both go in the summer, life goes on. Both great players, but their shenanigans are tiring. There's genuinely no one in this squad I'd be angry at losing.

Spurs are bigger than every player but we won’t get any centre backs close to what they are. We could just go with Danso and Dragusin as our centre backs😂
Micky and Cuti are the least of our worries.

Agreed.

Both players have considerable faults, which are glossed over far too readily.

Conte was a serious manager who lost his shit because he knew he was in the hands of people who were not serious about winning.

That is the bit that matters.

He genuinely felt bad about being paid a fortune to cheat the supporters which is why he referenced how he and the players were payed well for what they did.

It was pure, seething frustration which he was unable to keep a lid on by the time his team had spaffed the lead at Southampton.

He was telling us then that some of the players were being protected by the owners for non football reasons.

Tired of VDV??! He’s been our best player by an absolute mile this season. What do you want in a defender ?

He was right. I applauded it at the time, whether I liked his football or not, he came to be backed, he wasn't.

Nothing's changed since, nothing will change while these parasites are in charge.

Spurs need to score at least 3 goals, to be sure of winning, in any game that Mickey and fucking Cuti play in.

That's not me being harsh.

That has been becoming a fact over the last 3 seasons.

This entire back 5 of Vicario, Porro, Romero, VDV and Udogie are unreliable in terms of availability, form, temperament, professionalism, unforced errors and pride.

VDV is the only one who I would retain as a potential starting 11 player.

The other 4 I would shitcan in a heartbeat or use as the back up player to someone who you can hang your hat on on to be available and reliable.

I've seen plenty of poor defenders at Spurs in the last 49 years.

This lot are right up there in every measure.
 
I'm tired of his antics and petulance. A fine footballer, but he's got a case of the big times.
He got frustrated with fans at Bournemouth which happens because he’s annoyed with how it’s going. It’s a human reaction to bite back if you’ve got a set of balls. And walking by Frank was disrespectful but again he’s pissed off at how we are asked to play by him. That’s two incidents in over 2 and a half years. Hardly antics!
We lose him and you’ll realise how lucky we were to have him.
