We also pay more for tickets than 100% of clubs in Europe, and have the lowest wage vs turnover ratio % than all 150 professional clubs in England

By that metric, Dorking Wanderers are more ambitious - if you think our fans are spoilt brats, you are quite the cunt
Oh and we fucked over some pensioners for a few more quid. Yes we are truly spoilt. We were so ungrateful about the Super league too, oh and the whole furlough debacle. We be blessed.
 
Yesterday we saw 2 egregious bits of media shit baiting with Ange.

1. They ask him about Rashford and he says he's not interested in rumours. They make a headline about him not interested in Rashford.

2. He gives a piss take answer about the job being harder than Prime Minister

Do I? That's not what I said. Maybe give it a re-read.

The use of the phrase 'dark cloud' was highly hyperbolic, all I was pointing out is that to fans of 99% of clubs us whining over 4th-7th place finishes and a UCL final in the last 10 years would come across as spoilt.

Of course we want our club to be better, what fan of any club doesn't. It's akin to anyone in a first world country such as USA, UK, AUS, GER etc etc crying about being poor. Even the worst off in those countries is still miles better off the most of the people on the earth. And we're better off even in a period of unrest than 99% of clubs in Europe. All about perspective.

Maybe the BBC journalist is on the spectrum and just takes things literally!

I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt rather than just being stupid or a shit stirring West Ham / Woolwich fan.

Also this 'we pay the highest prices blah blah' is such a forced argument because it only speaks from the match goers perspective, the vast vast majority of Tottenham fans don't go to the stadium.

Spurs fans moan too much, I think it's a fashionable trend amongst self entitled football fans these days on social media and our fanbase are just as guilty as anyone. I know everything is relative and we've had an up and down few seasons but fuck me some of the whining is embarrassing.

I think Angelos could have done a better job as PM than Boris but Boris would not have done a better job than Angelos as Spurs' head-coach :cool:

I could be wrong on this but my gut instinct is that the BBC is a massive waste of tax payer's money and the journalist is a cunt.

Like I said, I could be wrong but right now that's the impression I get.
 
Not really 10 though is it? How many are actual proven quality first teamers?
Even if 9 weren’t first teamers, the problem is that the likes of Porro, Udogie, Bissouma, Dragusin, Solanke aren’t getting the rest they need. It’s causes poor performance and injuries.

What is happening to us is exactly what happened to Newcastle last season. At this stage they were mid table with an injury crisis due to the champions league and cup football….
 
I'm just saying that those who desperately want ENIC out should do so with expectations tempered and not build it up too much. Disappointment at not reaching heightened expectations can be upsetting.

As for your last sentence Justin it is all perspective. You say dark cloud, a Soton or Derby fan might chuckle in derision at that statement. Last decade we've played in Europe all but 1 season, made a cup final and UCL final. Dark cloud to describe Tottenham to most fans in football would seem to be the whining of spoilt brats. We still have it better than 99% of clubs in Europe.
You can't be serious?
I thought you were a reasonable fan.
I didn't think there was anyone left, even the most diehard Levy fans that used the fear of things getting worse as an argument for keeping them around.
 
We're mid-table because we dropped 8 points against 3 teams in the relegation zone,and lost another 6 points from a position of 2 goal leads. Nothing to do with lack of depth or anything else. It was entirely avoidable.

Such a wasted opportunity, as top 4 would have been easily attainable with the way Woolwich and City are struggling this season, and the likes of Utd, Villa, Newcastle and Brighton are not exactly pulling up any trees themselves.

Things normally level out towards the end of the season.

Are you going tonight? How much was your ticket? Same question for Sunday?
 
The Ange in crowd need to be quiet about injuries - pre Southampton we only had 3 first team players injured, Vic, Romero, VDV. Romero and VDV were rushed back by Ange.

Forster has arguably been our best player this last month, so Vic has not been a huge miss so far.

Aside from that we have had Bentancur banned.

We’ve been very disappointing over the course of the season and injuries are not the reason for that despite what some might say

Spurs aren't in the champions league like Newcastle were. Now it's 'rest they need'. Schooled in Europe so far... like he was with Celtic. Ok there were results against teams nobody has heard of.. . Us, all the new aussie support is us. Don't know if that's the case with you but the other ones it is exactly what I was expecting and dreading. Carry on with the cultship.

List of things Ange isn't interested in:
- Rashford,
- Set pieces,
- Defending,
- Abuse from Spurs fans,
- Whether people like him or not.....

Feel free to continue the list. 😋

Is there some sort of rule where you're players are meant to be more tired in the Champions League or something?
