Another great post full of common sense, reasoning, and well thought out points without resorting to personal attacks and insults. 👏 👏

Fair play, there's been a few today. And much needed to neutralise the tsunami of absolute shite posted by a handful of others.

Exactly... we all want the same thing right... we just have different ideas on how we get there but I'm still going have a beer with you because ultimately, we love Spurs and we hate the fucking nomads.

Yep.
Far more to unite us than divide us. Something we'd all do well to remember at times.
This conversation shouldn't even need to be had, and the fact it's happening after a WIN is even more bizarre!

Guys, can we just chill a bit... you can be Ange out and still celebrate a win like last nights. The two are not exclusively mutual. Do I think Ange is right for us? - No, too many weak displays against piss poor teams
Do I think Ange will win a trophy for us? - No, but I really hope he does... and if he does... I'll proclaim him as the second coming
Do I think Ange has been dealt a rough hand - 100%, transfer window left him short and the injuries and suspensions have hurt
Do I want us to lose to force a managerial change - 1000% NO, I never want us to lose!!!
Do I still celebrate when we win - Damn right I do!!! But my view on Ange won't change unless I can see some evidence that we can consistently beat teams with far inferior budgets / players than us
If we lose, do I sit here saying I told you so? - No, because I don't tell any fan how to fan (terrible US saying)... I have my views, you have yours and we can co-exist no problem

makes me laugh reading idiots talk about player errors lol. the kamikaze tactics puts unnecessary stress on certain players and guess what stress causes???

if you're going to keep asking forster to play out you're going to get cheap goals against you. 3-0 up and ends up being 4-3 and a goal that wouldnt of been given had VAR been in use.

to be fair, hes got some cult idiots, the other lot are just idiots who just haven't got a clue what they are talking about anyway lol. player errors....,

The problem is that this place becomes overly toxic when we are losing games where certain accounts take over. So after a win its nice to see some positivity to balance out all the negativity. The same negative accounts seem annoyed about anyone on here being happy about the win, and that is where these arguments are constantly breaking out. I try my best to avoid them and mostly do but every now and again I bite the bait.

You sound like a reasonable poster and you are fully entitled to your opinion whether that is Ange in or Ange out. I'm Ange In but I totally understand why someone would be Ange Out given how frustratingly inconsistent our season has been. These discussions are good but as you said we should all be happy after a win. There really should be no negativity on here for 24 hours after win and anyone posting the negative comments well... You'd have to question what their real motive is!

Well very true except this isn’t the entire story.

This happens in both directions, and it’s tiring in both directions. You’re absolutely correct, there are some posters who are doom mongers. I imagine they are sad about all aspects of life no matter what.

Problem is the toxicity goes both ways, if we lose you’re right there are lots of doom mongers types. However when we win, there’s a whole group of people who log in just to mock people who have said they don’t believe Ange takes us anywhere. There was a post in the match thread yesterday when we went three nil up, where someone actually said “I just logged in to tell the Ange out idiots that you don’t deserve this performance” this is equally as moronic. A win means people you trawling threads saying things like “so you don’t like it when we win?” “Does us winning make you happy?” “You’re Ange out so you can’t enjoy our wins” it’s ridiculous in other directions.

Liking Ange as a manger doesn’t make you any more of a fan than someone who supports the club but doesn’t think the manager will work out. The poster you quoted put it very well, you can do both.

It’s people on both sides of this that need to get over themselves and realise that people can have different views and that ALL of them can still be Spurs fans. It’s just a shame there’s a very small amount of extremes on both ‘sides’.
 
I don't believe he means all that "are you not entertained - it's who were are mate" schtick (it's just the Australian version of Luis Enrique flouncing at journalists for asking stupid questions about tactics) but it's starting to get on my tits all the same.

It's a deflection from actually answering why we are still getting basketball after a year and a half. I mean he still has to deflect, but there's better deflection, injuries, kids etc etc, than his "entertainers" schtick, which is inviting ridicule. A few months ago he was fuming with the fans for not wanting to win a game, which I was kind of with him on, but now he's dishing out an equally daft/irritating message - even if it's smoke and mirrors.
