And I've never seen a Spurs fan find a discussion about losing to Chelsea, West Ham and Woolwich so funny

Are we too soft?

This season isn't over so anything can happen until it ends. Save your judgment comments until then. No team performs 100% all season, there will be games when they don't turn up and others when they win the day.
But we were discussing the bridge game and you were lauding how hard we were while finishing 11pts behind Leicester due to the Chelsea capitulation.
I haven't judged this season.
I've stated that despite beating Madrid we have shown a soft mentality in other games.
I don't judge a tough team on how many leg breaking challenges they make while throwing the season down the toilet.
My point was based on the bridge game and that's where you started posting silly pictures.
Postitive or negative. Pessimist or optimist. Half empty or half full?
Yes we lost against an Woolwich side on Saturday- we under performed on the day. There were many factors that contributed to the defeat. Losing to Chelsea and missing out against Leicester was disappointing but we were the only team keeping pace with them. Despite your miserable outlook , these were very good seasons something we need to build on. Look forward not backwards please, its getting me down.
how long a go was this?
Im laughing at you and your daft comments not the games results. Stop trying to gain the high ground and being all moralistic, It dosnt suit the persona. You havnt got the monopoly on finding Spurs frustrating. We can all see whats going on but are at diffeant levels of understanding?
You must be a bundle of laughs at work?
Moralistic? By lambasting the sides mentality in certain games? Nah mate, the moral crap comes from the "ahhh its ok to pull your pants down at The Emirates because its only one game" crew
So are you writing off the season then, after one game and past moments when we lost matches?
For the record. This is a stupid thread. it just gives licence for posters as you, a window to promote your negative views and go on about past 'bad days' .
I have been miserable for 48 hours since Saturday and I can understand the reasons for the defeat. Yes Its only 3 pts move on, why dwell on the negatives. Learn and move on, come back stronger as we have been doing for the past two seasons. Look at the CL performance...I guess what camp you were in last season?

Am I?
No, Im saying we are soft when we are soft, like on Saturday and against West Ham.
Maybe you come from the school of thought that thinks because we were epic against Real Madrid it means we wasnt crap against Woolwich. Same moronic school of thought that says Dele was brilliant last season so he cant possibly be poor now.
Not me, I can see things in isolation. We were crap on Saturday....if that means to you that I have written the season off then good for you.
I suppose by that logic, being good against Real means we are going to win the CL and PL double
:defoe:

The past bad days!??
SATURDAY??? The West Ham game was about 3 weeks ago and Utd a fortnight ago.
It wasnt me who started posting videos of the Bridge game two years ago, I simply commented that it didnt show us as anything other than undisciplined and unable to handle the pressure of the season.
Some fans think because times are good, bad performances have to be swept under the carpet and we can only look at the bigger picture. Go ahead and live in your bubble of bliss, but dont expect everyone else too.
And what the fuck is that supposed to mean....Im about the only poster here openly saying priotise the CL because I think we can win it
:defoe:[/QUOTE]
We are having a bad run-it doesn't mean we are poor overall-look for positives going forward. Move City aside, we have around 6 or 7 PL games coming up that we can win most or all of them and find our form again.
Last season CL campaign, what camp were you in-I can only guess you were negative through out.
You build on errors, you learn form mistakes and get better. Seeing the bigger picture is whats needed not scrutinising every moment knocking the team. Football is all about confidence and sorry my friend you bash this out of every performance and overtime you negative argumentive contribution just bring supporters down.
As for Saturday...?YES we were crap, we didn't perform the way we can-spot on- your not wrong. Kane looked short of pace and whats the point in Dembele. I could go on and on find fault after fault but thats NOT productive. Overall supporters do not want to hear about 'how crap we were and crap we are". This is football, good and bad, bounce back when a bad day-consolidate on good days.
No.I think people are looking for an excuse for an awful performance.
Yes, i know we had injuries,but it was still a bad day at the office.

I havent said we are poor overall, Ive said we were soft against Woolwich, Utd and West Ham
Ive said we are capable of winning the CL. Maybe thats negative to you
And you were over the moon about going out of a crap group I suppose? Of course I was negative about our CL campaign last year? What did you do? Celebrate it?
I couldnt give a fuck if saying we are crap when we are crap brings down the happy clappers. Fucking man up.....you are talking to me like Im a player. Whats mistakes should I learn from?
Im fully aware of how good we are in the bigger picture.....Im not the one spanking one off in the transfer threads. Im one of the few happy with the squad, happy with the academy you fraud.
Oh, how big of you, now you can say it, but when someone else does they are dragging you down
only in games away against top 6. Apart from the man city game when eriksen got the winner, i cant think of a game we have played well in. The first half against chelsea away last season. The lineup/tactics/approach against madrid was perfect. I know we arent facing the same quality in the EPL but we need to focus on keeping a clean sheet and nicking something. I dont consider that negative. Jose does it all the time. Sometime you have to just face facts and realise that in certain games you need to just get the result. Losing to those wankers is painful.
We are not soft and haven’t been since Poch got a grip
Having injuries, unfit players out there and an incompetent referee against a side playing out of their skins in their cup final isn’t being soft
We had chances to win it anyway, Son, Eriksen, Harry etc
It was a clusterfuck on the day and sadly they capitalised
That’s all

Look at the defending for both goals.....our players were turning their backs in challenges throughout the game
Poor, crap, soft....who cares what its called. People taking offense to the word soft...
Is it more positive to say we were shit?
Unlike you to be so critical mate.
I just think this seasom is huge and that this will test how good Pochettino is.
I was thinking and many will undoubtedly disagree but Wanyama is our biggest loss this season and maybe the captain we shiould have.
We have progressed in some respects and yet gone backwards which is paradoxical but true in my opinion.
And we place too much emphasis on Kane.
People slated me when I was fuming at the West Ham loss. I said at the time and am right that it revealed complacency and arrogance and something worrying. These things cannot be taken in isolation.
