Oh here's a good one it's probably time for: Poch's football wasn't that attractive.

Very eager and aggressive to regain possession, and push a high line up the pitch and then....just kinda knock it around the edge of the box just like Conte ball.

I disagree with that one. At the end of the day every system struggles with an organised defence, Poch's football was a lot of fun because we played aggressive football, and had good attacking players.
 
Sol Campbell - the England international and Spurs Captain who ran down his contract and walked over to Highbury to play for them.
That one.
Sorry I assumed you were a long term fan, ie. Prior to 2001
Oh yes..I know all about that...unfortunately...
because you just mentioned Campbell, I was looking for a different 1st name....
Fan since1960....
 
Our away support at Chelsea is always 100x better than at Woolwich Wanderers. We struggle to get any kind of atmosphere at the cabbage patch. For some reason we seem louder and more up for it in East Fulham.
 
There was an infamous 3-4 defeat to Man City at home in the FA Cup, which was a serious case of Dr Tottenham.

After that game, I believed Tottenham were destined to be like Everton are now.

Granted, I only thought that until Jol was made boss.
 
Too Small, small concourse, shit toilets, poor infrastructure.

Only good thing about it was the memories and that's magnified by the fact that we went unbeaten their in our last season.
It needed upgrading due to modern standards, but I always enjoyed it unless of course we lost but watching Spurs was the spectacle not the infrastructure.

That's not to say I don't like new stadium it's great because It looks great and has what it has. Hopefully watching Spurs play football is the pinnacle again and not the stadium.
 
Here's an opinion that upset a lot of people when I let it out a year ago:

Skipp is not a good player. He's cut from the same block as Winks and Mason. He's below average athletically and at most mediocre technically. People like saying that he's good defensively: he's not. He's a yellow card magnet and he fails tackles as often as he succeeds, he doesn't have the strength to win duels or the mobility to cover ground. Our team collapsed the moment he became a regular last season.
He gets slack because he's "young" academy player. Except that he's 23 in a month, a year younger than Rice who went for 100m to Woolwich. He's about to be 23 without having a single good season at the top level, do you know how many players like that go on to have a successful career? A rare few.
I think a lot of that's fair and I think there's a lot he needs to work on but I don't agree that the team collapsed the moment he became a regular. I think the midfield 2 got overrun all last season, even before he came in. We lost 4-1 to Leicester with PEH and Bentancur starting and then Skipp came in the next 2 games after Bentancur got injured and put in a good performance in the win against West Ham and probably MOTM performance against Chelsea. Pretty much everyone was terrible in the run in but the midfielders were being made to look worse by being outnumbered in the shit system.
