Management Come here to laugh at us

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Never ever in my exended years of supporting this club has it felt as shambolic.

Dump your load if and as you see fit, but any notion of laughing at any other club at the current time, just seems the absolute height of hypocrisy.

It can be closed if we find a glimmer of hope from the rot.

I've found the posting in the 'come and laugh at X' threads often lacking in self awareness and mostly not funny, I rarely post in them and don't read them often.

I'd say the bigger PL laughing stocks are Man Utd for sure and probably Everton, that's about it really.

We're just not taken seriously as a football club at the moment, we're like football that people gawp at and come to laugh at, rather than being entertaining, properly speaking.

I think the managerial process we went through before having to choose Nuno as there was no one left on the planet to manage was more embarrassing than this. Showed us up in so many ways as a club. What we're going through now can be rectified 'relatively' easily over time. Us being a 'style over substance' club is another matter.

Fair mate.

This thread is simply to expel some air. I get zero pleasure from laughing at other clubs whilst it feels we are in the mire.

It's a bit like laughing at someone who has been shot more times than me.

I can still take the piss out of other clubs. It’s all banter..as a Spurs fan you need a thick skin because we’ve been the banter club for decades. Shouldn’t stop you enjoying it when rival clubs fuck things up, because they will do.

Don’t stress it too much.

Not stress mate. I can box that or get a beer. Anger is less easy to contain.

Get your wider point but because of our precarious position it will mean I have to cheer our bitterest rivals against teams near the bottom.

You tell me.

I just don't care about rival fan 'banter', I find it one of the least interesting things about being a football fan. Just wish my own club would get its house in order so it doesn't feel like I'm being mugged every time I pay to attend a match.
 
We are some bunch of losers. The entire club from top to bottom. I stick up for my club all week but then I watch the team play and I always just think "wow what a bunch of losers". No fight, lose duals, let the referees favour other teams with no dispute, no dark arts or street smart, taking quick free kicks when we should be trying to slow the game down..... Its pathetic. Everything about it is pathetic atm

My 2nd season following Spurs was the first time I experienced the type of vibe we are currently on.

78/79

Burkinshaw was up and down that season. Woolwich hit us for 5 and Liverpool lumped us 7-0. We rode it out and it turned out lovely by the time Keith quit in 84.

The next period I didn't enjoy was 87 / 88 under Venables. I have stated before how I feel Venables set up problems for Spurs further down the road, in the early 90's, due to the team / squad he built / dismantled during this period.

93/94 was a nightmare after the promise of 92/93. Oldham away was the low point that turned out to be a high point.

95 - 04 was the decade of despair but Spurs still manged to win a League Cup in 99 and play in a few semi finals and finals along the way. The Gross year was the all time low. Paulo Tramezanni's debut, away at Wimbledon, was my own personal low point.

Since 04 the lows for me were Juande Ramos, post League Cup win, AVB after Harry and everything since Poch was sacked.

This has been coming for 5 years.
