Don't even think it's that clever. The football world is full of fucking "manchilds" who have irrational hate for certain other teams.
Sadly Spurs have become one of those teams where many many different fans hate us.
Newcastle are mostly hated by Sunderland.
Villa by Birmingham etc.
Spurs? Fucking everyfuckone.

It's not even for good reason, like being successful.

I've always thought there is something deep down sinister about it and it has gone on for decades.

But let's win this fucking cup and really annoy them!

Absolutely. The look on a West Ham fans face when you tell them you're a Spurs fan.

Like, you've spent 3 hours getting to know this new person you just met, you get on well, then it moves to football and say you're a Spurs fan. And they're reduced to the lowest form of intelligence possible. Basically the football equivalent of racism.

THAT said, Spurs fans do it. The utter drivel I've read on here because there's a link to Arse. I can't even type the full word.
Grow up folks. Humans need to be better.

If Spurs wins Europa - Its certainly leaning towards Ange in. Without all but 3 of his senior players for a large chunk of the season, he actually found a pragmatic approach to winning a trophy. Something Jose, Conte, Poch couldn't do - with better squads.

IF Ange can satisfy the fans with an honest assessment of our league performance and demonstrate changes that will be made for next season; there is no reason why we shouldn't all be 100% behind him.

This season, he has clearly struggled to juggle multiple competitions. Tried to win them all. Remember, 1/3rd of the way through the season we were just 4 points off 2nd and progressing well in all 3 cups - but we didn't have the squad to fight across 4 competitions, and we burnt out, and broke down. No excuses, he called himself out on this and admitted he made that mistake.

Making the tough decision to bin off the league and focus on cups could pay dividends - or could leave us humiliated - and I respect Ange for choosing the path most likely to lead to a trophy; but also, the most likely to lose him his job if he failed. Would we still be talking "Ange out" if he finished 6th with no trophy?

If we were 8th and 4 points off 6th your post might at a stretch have some credibility, we are 16th and 21 points behind Forest .

You should volunteer for the Samaritans with such positivity .

Ok so I know your wife has left you for your best mate and has taken the kids with her. However she didn’t take the dishwasher tablets and she made the bed you will now sleep in alone before she left.

Shady, mate, I genuinely thought you were coming back with a new perspective. You said yourself the old patterns weren’t worth it, but it’s been barely a few weeks and you’re already back in the trenches.

I’m saying this with no malice; just feels like this place drags you into a version of yourself you’re trying to move past. Maybe stepping away again wouldn’t be the worst thing, for your own peace more than anything tbh.

I mean you can do what you want but I am being legitimate when I say this, no ill intention.

Not saying your post is wrong btw, just highlighting the wider issue.

If you genuinely think a bias in the media doesn’t exist against us then you haven’t been watching the last 20 years.

This isn’t about “delusion” or tin foil hat conspiracy, it’s as obvious as the sky is blue, they enjoy mocking this football club, truthfully I don’t actually give a shit what the media thinks and neither should any Spurs fan but that doesn’t mean Ange is wrong.

We are put on this weird pedestal that other clubs are not, held to a standard that we have no right to be held to.

I've taken this with good grace but what exactly is the issue with this post or my subsequent posts?
