i'm sorry but i just don't get some of you. a fucking europa league cup against minnows in no way erases the pain of losing every other fucking match. it's been 18 months of misery and you guys are gonna go dance around after beating up on the hobbits and the elves? it's just pathetic. there have been many years where many didn't even want to qualify for this shit cup and now we're gonna act like it's worth losing 20+ fucking matches for? gtfoh.. i want to win every week. i want entertainment. i want to talk to my friends about football and banter with the rivals and shit on the losers. i've not been able to do that for months and now i'm supposed to act like winning the middle earth cup makes it all worth it? to me, it's you guys advocating for this cup that don't know what football and sport is all about. pathetic

IF we win, it'll forever be tarnished with the fact that we had a dickhead of a useless manager at the helm and the worst league form many fans have ever experienced. And we're 40+ years old.
There's no way in 20 years I'd look back and say "that was some side that was"
I was 3 when we won it in 84 so I can't say I remember it. But a quick look at the D1 table that season shows we finished an underwhelming 9th. But we won 17 games lost "only 15"
Compared to this season where it feels like we've lost all our games. (we haven't, it just feels like it)


OK - Ricky Bobby 😄

"Dad, you told me if you're not FIRST you're LAST!" ...
"Hell Ricky I was high when I said that ... it doesn't make any sense at all ..." 🤣

I quoted that yesterday. Fed up with the attitude there's no point replacing Ange unless the next guy wins us the league.
That's just plain dumb. Ain't no escaping it, accepting a bottom 4 finish because we can't win the PL is ridiculous. Utterly absurd mentality.
If the next guy is here 2 seasons and stabilizes us back to a top 8 club. Great.
And the guy after him pushes us back to a top 4 club, brilliant.
That's A way to get back. sticking with this muppet is not.
 
Come to think of it all games that cannot possibly impact the title in all divisions should not be played (there are many such games at this stage of the season). Why should they be played? No one playing has any chance of winning the title ffs.

I'd go further and say that in each division going forward, once a team mathematically cannot win the title/league, all such teams' fans should have to hold their outstretched thumb and index finger against their foreheads, in a gesture describing an "L" for loser, for the duration of all home and away fixtures.

This is no more ridiculous than fans suggesting "we should just keep Ange because no one else is going to win the league"
 
Nice participation trophy we got after the final too.

We can keep it next to the “great attitude in class” badges we got in primary school

Fuck me mate I thought I was miserable. If you can't find any joy or success in the sport other than in winning a trophy you may as well stop now along with 99% of fans..

Our trophy record is a joke for a club of our size/stature .. its important we fix that. But that CL run was incredible, its not comparable to a fucking participation trophy .. we beat Ajax, Dortmund and City.
 
Your lack of knowledge hurts my brain
I honestly think you would struggle to coach an under 12 team
Much like Ange, I am not a coach. But I can spot a weak link in a team a mile off.
Season ticket holder, my man

After Covid, the only aim in my life was to put money in the bank not in Danny‘s pockets
I swear you said the total opposite of that recently.
I can only assume if you were at games that Dier played, you were all in on lining Levy's pockets by buying a LOT of beer.
Just to tie up a continuity error though, Covid was after the 16/17 season.

It was incredible.

That doesn’t mean we won the Champions League though
 
I really think people are getting unnecessarily het up over Postecoglou and this Europa competition.

If we get to the final, or somehow get past whichever last snd formidable hurdle, not for a second will I be cheering Postecoglou's name or attribute anything to him. It's not possible.

There is nothing on which I am prepared to say is a clear sign of Postecoglou's footprint and input,so if we do go further, It's all on how much this group of players can produce, potentially for 3 games, at the end of a dog sh!t of a season.
 
What staggers me is that Aus based yids are in line with what most of you in the UK are thinking about AP. The patriotism is no longer relevant. He's not cut for the job.

yet Aus based fans from other clubs defend him still, and not in a laugh at spurs by defending the coach kind of way. Genuine patriotism. The guy isn't the issue, Spurs as a club have fucked him over.

Where that falls down is that Levy and ENIC have owned us for nearly a quarter of a century, and since 2008 managers here have got us European qualification nearly every season. Including Jose and Conte who expect more than just that.

So to be 16th, having lost over half our league games for the first time since 1934 has our woes this season firmly on the man in the managers position. How my countrymen can defend him. ENIC aren't why we're 16th and falling further. Ange Postecoglou is the reason.
it does ultimately fall onto enic tho. they are the reason this clown is here in the first place.

but postecoglou is the worst 'manager' ive ever seen in football. i dont think he even deserves to be called a manager, hes a waffling conman, and guess what? levy has fallen for it.

the aussie patriotism for him is fucking strange, so cringe. maybe its cos they have fuck all else to follow in football? its fucking pathetic to be honest.

Are you slightly stupid or something?

If you wanted all that you've been supporting the wrong club all your life lol. I had hell growing up around Goober and man utd wankers. Spurs have been properly good for 5/6 years of my 30 supporting them ffs.

Ill enjoy this win if we manage it. Does it erase the utter shit this season has been? Absolutely not. Do I still want the manager fired and the ownership gone? Fucking right i do. Am i going to enjoy winning our first trophy for 17 years if we manage it? Abso-fucking-lutely.
 
We already gained that supposed prestige under Poch, where did that get us? Are we respected as a club for it? Not sure about you but I don't feel like I support a club that is respected.

If we'd won a league cup and a Europa League during the Poch years but never made that CL Final we'd be much better off for it right now. Especially in terms of respect.

Nice participation trophy we got after the final too.

You were the person who spent most the season flip flopping about sacking the useless sack of shit that is Ange. The fact that you do not rate what Poch did for us either tells me you are a child or just an idiot. What is the point of degrading the most enjoyable time in recent years to be a Spurs Fan.
