Player Micky van de Ven

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Surely people close to him would have asked him if he really said that?

If he did then own it!

If he didn’t then deny it!

The silence is deafening!

I’ll wager that he did because of his arrogant attitude this season and he’s probably got another club lined up and doesn’t give a fuck about us!
Man, come on now. What does he do? Have a press conference every time someone posts a fake quote on his picture? You really can’t think that anyone would have to do that? All the fake bullshit out there, some people wouldn’t have the time to deny it all.
 
When he walked off the pitch with Spence ignoring Frank spoke volumes!

Yes very bad to do that in public.

OTOH Frank was more or less and matter-of-factly telling the media the players are shit, said this is team that finished 17th without the context around injuries and competition priorities , and then set the team to play timidly because he actually believed the players were, in fact, shit.

At this stage of his career, IMHO he is better suited at Left back. He has the speed, he can whip balls in, he can go around players, he can go toe toe with speedy wingers, and he doesn't have to make critical decisions that can lead to disaster. Its where I think the Dutch will play him at the WC.

As he matures I think he could slot in at CB.
 
Van De Ven epitomises our club.

We think we are better than we are, stopped working as hard as we should.

Have disrespected that which got us to being a big club and one where we might pay the ultimate price

I think Van De Ven has been a disgrace this season but he doesn't pick himself and he can only be pulled up for his poor attitude if he gets pulled up for it

Those who cite the Frank incident alongside Spence are 100% right. It was an alarm bells that was never heard.

I just know that the bloke will have 8 games to put it right. If he and Romero can stay fit and free from further bans this season, simply focus on their jobs, then it should help us more than hinder us.

We shall see.

Agree

Stupid mistake but an honest one

The doom spiral of narratives about him not caring came from a fake video of the coach talking to Dragusin and him being frustrated with performances and results.

It’s not going to help us stay up if the fans are buying into this shit.

Dumb mistake but it’s the same player who cleared the ball off the line in Bilbao

Yeah im not buying into this VDV witch hunt.

He made a dumb mistake trying too hard to correct his poor header beforehand.

To say he aint trying when he was probably our best player before the red....the amount of times he tried to drive forward and produce something proves this.

You can see him giving out to Sarr for picking up a yellow card just before his red ...the irony.. agree stupid mistake but he was obviously putting in the effort up until that. Giving me abuse isn't going to help us in the slightest.

We really cant afford to turn on the players regardless of how we feel about them.

I was as mad at VdV as everyone when that happened but at this stage we really do need to support all of them. I don't blame the fans for being in this situation but we have the ability to do our part and get out of it.

It's bad but much worse teams have pulled off great escapes. If we survive it won't even be a great escape.

That’s what I’d if I was in the public eye and someone made up one of my quotes

I’d have a word with a suitable journo as to what the facts were

The fact that he hasn’t leads me to believe that there’s some truth in it but I’m not going to die on this hill other than to say Micky has been poor this season especially since the turn of the year and he had a Mare on Thursday!
 
Imagine being so thick you get upset when it’s pointed out to you something is very obviously fake. Did I hurt your feelings??

No my feelings are unhurt but nice to know that you’re concerned about me!
