Ex-Spurs Player Brennan Johnson

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

(TBF we played until 97mins.)

Silly sub. He's not gonna need you to do what you need from him at that late stage in the game.


You need hard running, aggressive pressing from anyone you bring on at the top end of the pitch to counteract the fatigue inevitably setting in on all those that did start.

Twice in added time we allowed their GK to casually stroll up to the half-way line and pick a pass (allowing all thier players to camp in our 3rd).

Would have been much better off bringing Spence or Berg on to grind the clock out.
Yeah I appreciate that but ffs he’s coming on in a game where we weren’t getting hold of the ball idea perhaps he was an outlet just to run but expecting anything done in 7minuets …….really if he’d been on in the 60th or even 70th yes but no the 90th.

I literally just addressed all that.

You press to force turn-overs........ You can do that for 7mins. Do that well, you have made an impact.

I know, that is what they said... Several times.

But you said club "promised x is usually bs"...

That is not me on me, I am was responding to what you said.

Come on, follow the conversation.

Sorry fella.... It's you that appears to not be following.....

I questioned IF the promise was ever made to begin with (especially in such stark terms as "promise") because much of the time when fans claim that "the club promised x"; said promise in fact hadn't been made (i.e. the fan made it up or is just media waffle)......

........I made no reference to whether of not the hypothetical promise is delivered upon.



For clarity; I'll ask again....... Have the Lewis kids themselves made any such statement? (FWIW; I've not seen one.)

Yes, the club and Lewis family have said that several times, usually alongside the club is not for sale.
 
Not doing a very good job then.

....Or there's just no such statement and it's all just 3rd-hand media rhetoric such as "Alex Crook believes...." and "Spurs are believed to....".

Crap research.

Took me two seconds.


"It’s very fair to say that we have firm backing from the Lewis family against our ambitions to be successful on the pitch, both on the men’s and women’s side".

"They know that’s going to require investment, and we have their firm backing.

"That's what everybody associated with this football club is hungry for - more nights like that."

To name but one of many examples... Alistair Gold has talked about, and ambition and invest has been mentioned many times.

Lewis family to continue financial backing after boardroom reshuffle.​


.............Does that not just imply more of the same?

"I need to try and answer your question without leading to a whole load of transfer war chest stories tomorrow,"


No shit, Vinae!!! 🤣🤣

i am out, you are willfully ignoring what's be said.

And I thought you once sat at the sensible table.

I am out. If you want to debate like a c*nt, your on your own.

It's been clearly be said that they want to challenge for titles, and willing to invest.

I have nothing more to say to you.

It's Sunday and I have better things to do.

I'd love to believe there'll be a substantial cash boost from the owners......

.............No-one's said there will be however.


It's that simple.
 
No, just the new CEO.

"They know that’s going to require investment, and we have their firm backing.”

But yeah, you'll ignore this.

Debating dishonestly, can't be asked, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

ENIC have claimed to be investing all along though.


You're falling into the trap that Vinae referred to.

.....He's been extremely careful not to suggest an INCREASE in spending.

(Nothing dishonest about my posts at all..... It's just unfortunate we find ourselves disagreeing about 2 things concurrently today....... )

As I say it's a cynical view. Born out of years of Levy.

He is gone, new CEO, new boardroom staff being brought in.

Club statement we want to win things, like CL and PL.

Sacked Levy.

All I am doing is giving them a chance to stand by their words.

That's it.

And despite getting Simons, we was still trying to get others, hindered by Levy though.

Good words coming From CEO and Frank.

Or give gray some minutes I’m sure he would have got forward better than Johnson. Not sure what the obsession is with BJ by Frank.

If we wanted to get hold of the ball then Johnson was a stupid sub especially for kudus who can hold the ball.
