It’s fucking weird
And it's not just BK - there's loads who believe this shit but most of them are awful posters. I've always found bk decent
Ange-derangement-syndrome is a thing
That was very entertaining..
You just know the media will be pushing for Lewis-Smelly
But even then Djed is playing well enough to get in as a RB
He might be the best footballer at the club, at least this season.
Pretty sure over the last two pages of this thread he's gone from capable back up, to best left back at the club, to best full back full stop, to England shoe in, and now best footballer at the club...
Realistically he should have the Ballon D'Or by the weekend.
He got a chance only because of injury crisis. Gray was used as RB over him in the beginning of the season, he was not registered for UEL squad. That tells a story of a guy who was supposed to be 22-23th member of the squad.
After all, he is not the first one that exploded only because someone else got injured. It happens, what was in the past stays in the past. But I will be really mad if he is back on the bench the moment Udogie is back. And I want to see some minutes for him as RB when Udo is back as well.

He doesn’t deserve to be on the bench for either Udogie or Porro.
Many will be absolutely furious when it happens including me but Ange will probably stick him back on the bench when Udogie is back fit.
He should be playing RB in place of Porro on this form (if we had a decent left back to cover)
Best FB at the club 100% on current form and he should be first on the team sheet unless that changes.
So it's the guy who bought the player you rate ,not the guy who didn't play him that is the issue.
we have had some good chats mate - but honestly, you sound like a MAGA cultist whose every thought or instinct they have starts with 'Joe Biden'
Everything I read of yours starts with the premise that it is Levy's fault and you find a way to that conclusion however you can...
And just like a MAGA cultist, I know you won't be able to see it or get it.... but it's there, it's real, and it's weird.
The facts are as follows;
The club (Levy) signed Djed Spence while Conte was the manager and he made his feelings clear.
The club (Levy) then sacked Conte and appointed Ange.
Ange has 'chosen' to initially overlook Spence, from team selection, for best part of 18 months.
Ange has then 'chosen' to select Spence for the team, during an injury crisis, but only play him at left back, despite assertions from many that Porro is 'tired' and overplayed.
I know you won't be able to see it or get it.... but it's there, it's real, and it's weird.
There are also a bunch of cults, on various THFC forums, who continue to apologise for and defend this weirdness by attempting to insult anyone who questions it, on a personal level, by conflating the truth and calling for banning orders .
What a bunch of weirdo's.

Spence's first start in the Premier League was at RB - resting Porro who was on the bench. Udogie started on the left.
I've already written a fairly comprehensive timeline of Spence's reintegration at the club but I'll post it again for you in case you missed it. That way you can be properly informed.
Here you go:
I won't comment on your Levy take on this because I don't know enough about the inner workings of the club except to say Postecoglou doesn't seem the type to take orders about on-field matters from the Chairman but I could be wrong.
Porro is clearly number 1 RBSpence's first start in the Premier League was at RB - resting Porro who was on the bench. Udogie started on the left.

My point on the issues around Spence are as follows;
None of us know what goes on at Spurs on the training ground and in private conversations between the chairman and the manager.
Most of what supporters are told about these matters are from official sources via the club or rumours from the 'i am hearing crowd' like Ali Gold and the usual suspects.
We know fuck all is something I think we can agree on.
Your assertions about who has been first choice in the full back positions under Ange are also something I do not dispute.
The preference for Porro at right back and Udogie at left back has been obvious. Many supporters feel both have been over played; especially this season.
Spence was mustard during pre season. Surprisingly so.
He was then left out until he was sent to Coventry.
Spence single handedly rescued Spurs at Coventry, while playing out of position on the left.
He was then 'absent' with 'injury' until Udogie got injured.
Spence has consistently been one of the best players in a Spurs shirt ever since.
Choosing to believe the bad attitude, trouble maker, narrative is an option if that is what tickles your fancy.
I call bullshit.
Spence is quality and Porro is the fraud.
The Spain coach was right.
The Tamworth left winger showed all Spurs supporters who the best right or left back at Spurs really is.
I can point to 40 million reasons why Porro has been picked ahead of Spence and it isn't because of Spence's attitude.
Keep going.
Porro is clearly number 1 RB

Again most of your posting is pure conjecture but the bit in bold is simply factually incorrect. Again I suggest you look at the FACTUAL timeline I've written up. Spence was being integrated slowly bu surely into the first team squad rotation until he, Spence, got injured. Not "injured" - there was no conspiracy. He had a groin injury.
Spence's first start was at RB vs Southampton. He played Vs Nottingham Forrest and got two yellow cards so was suspended for Wolves which is the game where Udogie got injured. These are facts. Ignoring them is weird.
I agree with you that Spence is better than Porro but that is simply our preference.
I'm a huge Spence fan but there is more than enough circumstantial evidence to suggest the problem has never been his talent but his application. There's overwhelming evidence to suggest that he's grown as a person and, with the support of the manager, now an integral part fo our first team squad.
This is objectively a good thing. I don't understand your need to drag it through the mud but that's fine - it's your opinion. But please get the facts right.
You have your opinion; I have mine.
I see so many similarities with what happened to Marcus Edwards at Spurs that I can no longer buy into any of the crap that is spouted by the brown nosing journalists who 'hear things' from the club.
Both Edwards and Spence found it difficult to get game time at Spurs when they clearly had more ability than players that got game time.
Both were loaned to Daniel Farke teams and subsequently had their character assasinated with whispered rumours of having the wrong attitude, being difficult, or keeping the wrong company off the pitch.
There was talk of Edwards having contractual issues during his time at Spurs. Spence managed to get his new contract sorted before he began being picked regularly.
Neither you or I really know the real reasons why Spence was left out for 18 months when he is clearly a very talented footballer.
Whatever the reason was it makes Spurs look foolish.
Who continually makes Spurs look foolish?
