I am only guessing here but I suspect our lack of investment in the team had nothing to do with not wanting to cheat and everything to do with not wanting to spend . Does anyone think an owner with insider trading history and living on a yacht to admittedly legally avoid tax is averse to cheating . IMHO he likes to cheat to save money , Abramovich spent money to cheat , there is the difference. Both morally bankrupt positions in my view , so I would sooner the cheat with a winning trophy agenda .
Good post and spot on

ENIC are the new benchmark in respect of supporter exploitation.

Taking away the senior discount was a dispicable act. This is the demographic that ENIC have overcharged for mediocrity since the greedy cunts arrived.

These seniors have served their purpose to ENIC and are now viwed as dispensible so they can exploit a different demographic for longer, or sell the club to similar cunts who will do likewise or worse.

Levy and ENIC have only cared about the supporters if it helps them to extract more.

Spurs fans my arse.
 
Of Course they are. This is to protect the stadium from rival fans sticking stickers and grafting the walls as much to advertise the event. On top of that the Artist/Event will have to pay extra to dress the stadium.
It's also to be as appealing to as wide an audience as possible.
Daniel Greedy must know that football is tribal, and that certain fans won't come to non football events at a rival teams ground.
Make it as neutral as possible and you widen the audience.
One day they'll drop "Hotspur" from the name and nobody will notice..

ENIC have been cheating the fans for years with promises that the stadium and training ground would be the catalysts for our progress.
And yet here we are, fully functional, and still buying players on the lowest wages as possible, and barely enough of them to make up a half decent 11, let alone a squad.

We have been lied to for a quarter of a century. Now they have what they want, they're going to fuck us, the fans, over.

Going in dry as well

What a load of nonsense.

I know fans of every team who have gone to the NFL and concerts there.

Id say maybe 2% of football fans would give up the opportunity to go and enjoy life because a rival team plays at the stadium where an event is happening.

EDIT: And they would be fucking idiots.

the only sort of certain Woolwich or Spam fan that would refuse to step foot in the stadium would be pretty hardcore surely, and do you really think they'd be fooled by hiding a cockerel?

For that sort of fan who hates us so much you think they'd suddenly want to attend the "Tottenham Stadium" because "Hotspur" has been removed?

I think you're reaching with this one, sorry.
 
VDV was a bit of both. The medical advice was that he was ready to start but should be subbed on 70 mins as the extra 20 mins workload could be dangerous on his hamstring. Given the fact that Romero had already gone off injured and we had no proper centre back left on the bench, I think Ange might have ignored that advice and taken a gamble that VDV could finish out the game. He went down on 75 mins with a hamstring injury. If you want you can blame Ange for that but I can see his side to the story too.
What is your source for this?

It is a reach. But it's not beyond believable with this lot.

We spend money. Plenty of it. How it is spent is the issue

It happened to Anges Squad at Celtic and its happening here -


The good news is it looks like he has realised maybe with the intensity of the PL and the way he plays \ trains some tweaks need to be made however from the big man himself -

"he acknowledged that given the intensity with which they train and play, injuries are unavoidable."

I think as well part of this comes from not having a Squad good enough but then look at the way Ange has played Porro into the ground and only now just started to give Spence a run out . I understand the Injuries are a part of the game but the Premier league is a long tough slog, made even worse by being in Europa and all the cups still, squad management needs to be better if we are to win anything!
Conte did this as well, he ran the whole squad into the ground - they are athletes, they have to be in prime physical condition.

He hasn't broken VDV for instance, the lad is one of the players who have this as a problem, IIRC didn't our last VDV also have repetitive hamstring issues?
