You REALLY think these players are giving 100% when compared to those teams around us?!

We make more mistakes than every other team
Rating effort is a dangerous game to play..
I know we said Palace was the biggest match since the Europa final but Forest feels even bigger to me
We can't lose that one
We can't lose that one
Agree that it feels very much like losing to Forest could be fatal, but let's see what today's games bring
Nothing is going to be conclusive before the international break.

Nah not having it.
Spurs aren't getting relegated because of fans having a moan on a thread titled "Relegation" on an internet forum or vibes. The stadium has been right behind the team, the atmosphere in the NLD was cracking, even when we were getting battered. The fans are doing their bit. They're allowed to blow off steam on here.
We're going down because of a mix of a unprecedented injury crisis, awful recruitment (in terms of playing staff management and "sporting directors") , a lack of decisiveness and ambition from the ownership and board. But not because we didn't "believe" hard enough.
If you don't want to see people openly discussing relegation as a high percentage possibility then just don't open a thread called "relegation".
Tudor is probably gone soon but who do we bring in then? Redknapp, Mason, Sherwood, Dyche? None of the names mentioned that seem somewhat likely make me confident they will drastically improve things and get this group of players going. And even more important, I have absolutely no confidence that Lange and Vinai will get things right this time either.
This is the worry , apart from Gray we seem to be going through the motions, however we know what football is like , all we need is one bit of luck and things can change , it’s not over till it’s over but right now judging just by the injuries and effort the players put in that we are favourites
A number of the current fan base, myself included, are demoralised and have little to no faith in our owners and the people put in place to run our club and feel there should be some accountability with heads rolling.
I feel that this has filtered through to the playing staff and as a result, that extra 10-20% needed on match day just ain't there!
I fear the worst!

Don’t care if you’re not having it or not, let’s call a spade a spade our support has been shit most of the season it’s got better the last month as we’re really in it but majority of the season it’s been either silent, whinging, negative and toxic.
Whether we like it or not, right or wrong it’s why the players don’t like the fan base, don’t like playing for the club and probably the reason why they cry off injured. I’m sure you’ll cry about that and say we have the bested fans in the world but we haven’t. Let’s own it. I’ve been going spurs for decades I’m not insecure about saying that
All those things are true as well of course. people can think we’re going down but then they're not really discussing it and dismissing any alternative keep on repeating it 100 times.
They'll be singing about it for years
They'll probably rehire Frank after forgetting that they sacked him.
As would we I’m sure!
Exactly. If the owners don't care, it's inevitably gonna trickle down through to the playing side.
The whole culture of the club is rotten to the core.
It's got me thinking about an important home game against Liverpool a couple of years ago and before, after and even during the match we had this shit going on
Squid games overshadowing the football match
A few of my scouse supporting mates were in the crowd that day. They honestly couldn't believe what they were seeing.
We are no longer a serious football club. The players know it.
They will probably do the PL and CL double, West Spam will win the Fa cup and stay up, and we will have relegation confirmed after losing the game away to Chelsea
Where do you think the mistakes come from in the first place?
To be honest, I was underwhelmed when Frank was appointed. He had nothing ion his CV to suggest he was capable of the Spurs job.
When we go down, it will be because of years of mismanagement and very poor player transfers.
I've been to nearly every home game for the past 4 years and gone to most aways in England and Europe.
Our away support is amongst the best in the league.
I was at the Fulham game when we were 2 down and Vicario whacked the free kick up the pitch out for a goal kick. Don't tell me we should have clapped that. As much as what you say is true to an extent, these players have had a lot of our support for a while now. They also need to take responsibility and realise that how they play on the pitch reflect the support they get given back. This isn't some happy clappers society, a lot of the fans going pay a lot of money, spend a lot time getting to and from games. They deserve to vent when things aren't going well as much as the players deserve support when we see them put effort in.
I've seen too many occasions where our players are jogging around. After the second goal conceded against Fulham, I looked at all our players with their heads down trundle back to the kick off. They got a lot of generous support from us, especially after the game when those of us that stayed actually clapped them off. But that was because in the final 30 mins when Richarlison scored they actually put some effort in.
The fans will respond to what is seen on the pitch. That's not unique to us. It's the same for all teams in all sports.
And as long-suffering Spurs fans, we know that this is exactly a ‘Spurs’ way for how it will all turn out.They will probably do the PL and CL double, West Spam will win the Fa cup and stay up, and we will have relegation confirmed after losing the game away to Chelsea
I went to palace and it was very concerning because my worst fears were realised greater than I expected. They’re a team waiting to get relegated. However, it’s a funny old game. Our season can change in an instance on a single moment, that’s the sport.
The results are making me want to go more now I’ve calmed down from that palace game. But you just never know what your support can do in the ground. We’ve if your cheering or starting up a song the rest of the stadium picks up on boosts the players even a few percent or your cheering has 0.01% of a positive effect on the team it’s important. I fucking detest this group of players and owners but I’m supporting the club I’ve been a fan of for nearly 40 years. That’s what I’m behind because I don’t want them to go down.
