Fickle fan base ... You were doing well until that. The fact that a club that has such a poor record on the pitch is still considered one of the big clubs is 100 per cent because of the fan base.
I like Ange. I'm hopeful he can bring us some success.
As a Johnny Come lately Ange-fan boy , you are well out of order slagging off Spurs fans.

I was there. The support the team got was absolutely amazing until they scored when it changed a little bit. It was still very good up until the pen then we basically didn't care and starting somewhat celebrating.Emotions run high, even at a professional level my friend. He's just seen his own fanbase do the poznan ffs
I don't know how we could ever be criticised for that. Other fans would have probably not shown their support straight away but 99% of our lot were absolutely willing us to score (which shocked me).
Fraudlacoglu should be doing his media rounds commending our support after that rather then aim further digs in order to enhance his "I'm a winner" character.
The bloke is an expert apparently.
"That's not what sport is about."
He's a fucking creep and needs to do one.
He'll only alienate the cowards, if you took what he said personally then you're part of the problem.
The world was so much better without it. It’s revealed a lot about how weak minded the human race is. It seals into everything.
Fuck are you on about?
Piss off.
Trying to lecture hardcore fans.
Cunt.
Dont engage mate. This thread has shown that many spurs fans from overseas dont have a fucking scooby about our rivalry with that lot.
Brought up on sky tv and social media ‘ banta’
Pundits do all that inverted this and high press that, for most of us football is tribal.
Maybe you could start a TLD thread and post all your negative attitudes on there?
The rest of us could look forward to next season and success.
That would hardly show his fighting credentials.
If he didn't realise that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park when he became our 5th manager in 6 years then I don't know what he was thinking or why he took the job - unless he truly believed this rabble could be turned into title challengers inside of 9 months.
He's staying.
I think there are going to have to be adjustments on both sides if our relationship with Ange is going to work. Ange needs to understand that our hatred of Woolwich isn't going anywhere and that he if he isn't more open to Woolwich-related issues he will struggle to form a relationship with the Tottenham fanbase.
We need to realise that celebrating a 2-0 home defeat because it buggers up our rival's title chances isn't the way forward. It's not exactly Glory, Glory stuff. We have a proud history of playing some of the greatest football ever and Ange is a man with the potential to take us back to those glory days - when we were the ones winning the trophies - but, for that to happen, we need to think bigger.
Match going fans get a bad rep from the armchair warriors. We always support the team.
Personally I’m looking forward to this all blowing over if newcastle and Chelsea don’t win tonight and we get the require point, but really a proper win against Sheffield United. I get the feeling the fanbase can do with a break, the season has been pretty exhausting.
They think football starts and ends with 'Champions League'.
This thread has been an eye opener.
Ange Postecoglou is clearly pissed off with the whole thing.Emotions run high, even at a professional level my friend. He's just seen his own fanbase do the poznan ffs
The whole situation is a reflection of our poor form and that reflects on him too he doesn't want us to be in someone else's shadow and rightly so.
He has spent the whole season saying the club belongs to the fans, he is just passing through.Emotions run high, even at a professional level my friend. He's just seen his own fanbase do the poznan ffs
I think he should have gone and had a glass of red with Pep before talking to the media, calm down and put things in perspective a bit before going in front of a microphone.
With his comments about 'the past 48 hours inside and outside the club'
What does that actually mean?
Who inside the club is actually fragile? Has he been given the hairdryer by Levy about top four? Or do we think someone in the hierarchy has encouraged Ange to throw the game and he doesn't like that?
It's a bizarre thing to say at this stage of the season.
