Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
This is the thing. The lad is a berk and has spent his entire professional career being a berk. There's a long list of managers who have had issues with him for this reason and that is nothing to do with his race or ethnicity. It's probably a projection, when people take people talking about it without jumping to 'racism'.
Okay he's not a kid (although when you're my age 25 IS very much a "kid"). Does that mean he deserves to have some no mark cunt on a forum declaring he's destined to broke and living a gutter in a few years because of his so called "attitude"?
That kind of thinking is beyond putrid.
This whole discussion is fucking nuts. Two years ago Spence's career was in the dirt. Last night he played for England.
Sure we can debate his individual frustrations as a Spurs player that we see but anyone damning his character and condemning him to the gutter is just a deranged fucking arsehole.
Awful stuff. Be better.

Post removed.Thanks for confirming mate.kingdawson did at the time. As he rightly points out - no action was taken.
By "long list" you mean Warnock and Conte (who probably never had a problem with him personally at all but was pissed he wasn't getting Bastoni).
Since then Postecoglou re-integrated him into the squad and he, and every manager since, has played him consistently. INCLUDING THE ENGLAND MANAGER.
I think Tuchel is fucking insane but I'll take his judgement on Djed Spence over yours every day of the week. Fuck me people dont half talk shite somtimes...
I think he’s a very good player when the dominoes fall right for him. Ultimate confidence player.
And no, the dominoes comparison had nothing to do with anybody’s skin tone before anyone carries on with the absurd race bullshit one way or the other.
If we go down it won’t be down to him alone.
There’s too many fragile young men in that squad who can’t raise themselves or their team mates when the going gets tough.
That isn’t down to them individually. It’s the incompetence of the people who paid millions for them to accumulate a stack of fragile kids, for years ,on huge salaries.
As awful as relegation is, that squad would be gutted and a gutting is what is needed.
I don’t think Spence is the first one I’d usher out the door.

It's common thing amongst the weak and pathetic.
It's easier to call people racist, than argue points...
They just can't handle people having opinions of their own, that don't confirm to BS moral stand points.
Why? Was it because he was black? Or the shit attitude he gave off?
If he said that about all our black players, I think you would have a point.
Not sure that's the case if it's a single player.
But I wasn't around then, so can't see the whole thing in context.
Neil Warnock,
Chris Wilder
Antonio Conte,
Bruno Genesio,
Daniel Farke (because ange sent him off on loan)
Thomas Frank
And let's remember that he didn't feature at all under Postecoglou until he had no other players to pick
You are so full of shit it's incredible. Postecoglou integrated Spence into the squad slowly but surely from pre-season 2024 onwards. That was clearly the pre-season where the penny dropped for Djed and he knuckled down and was rewarded by the manager and the only thing that slowed his progress to becoming a fully fledged integrated part of our squad during that year was his own injury as I wrote about last year long before you appeared to bore us all to tears with your shit:
Spence is a very decent footballer and rotation option for any team let alone Spurs. How do we know this? HE JUST FUCKING PLAYED FOR ENGLAND.
Just because he's not Cafu reborn doesn't give you people the right to call him a fucking "berk" or a "wrong un" when the last two years have clearly shown a dedication to his craft that has been rewarded by his managers and the England Coach ffs
This is where my self doubt that I know nothing about this sport kicks in.
I think Spence has been shite all season, yet highly paid managers pick him.
I think Romero is a fine player, but he’s been shite all season, yet, picked whenever available, both for us and his national side.
VDV? The same? Porro? Yep. Solanke? Fuck aye. RKM is now in the French squad.
And I’m not convinced I’m the only one questioning the ability and strength of mind of these players, yet, they play when they are available. Do we all just not know anything? Are there subtle signs we miss? Are managers just lazy cunts and don’t want to change their sides?
Thanks King, appreciate it
I always find it rather funny to be honest, considering I've spent most of my life in foreign countries, learning their culture and language. Got a Moroccan uncle, an Algerian one, gypsy cousins (not West Ham fans), best mates are from Jamaica & Africa (Maghreb, Togo, Congo...). Been involved with women from Vietnam, Italy, Taiwan, Sweden, Holland, France, Cambodia, South Africa (not a brag). As a player then manager I got to work with people from all horizons...never had anybody complain, was always seen as the glue guy actually.
But yeah, I'm 110% a direct, frank, blunt kinda guy. I take no prisoner...I wanna say something, I just say it. Beating round the bush and sugarcoating stuff ain't my thing. Doesn't mean you can't be a diplomatic and respectful person.
Yeah man, spot on.
That Phomesy dude's got it in for me real bad, it's funny to be honest. Plenty jokes & memes I could add here (youse know the ones) but I'll be a gentleman
For info, though...I also think Vicario, Romero, Porro, Bentancur and Micky are wronguns/bad characters...plenty posts from me having a go at their attitude...but that doesn't fit his narrative against me.
This is a good post, concentrating solely on the evidence, or lack of it, and that wider subjective view that sometimes seems at odds with the facts.
In other words, it's hard to understand how Spence is being picked for England or Romero being picked for us, but clearly both are.
I think it says more about the perceived or evident quality of the options.

Is all this anti Spence stuff because he didn't sing your national anthem?
Lots of the Spence stuff on here is racial. If you don't believe that you're either unaware of the society you're living in, willfully ignorant or directly contributing.
He's just an edgy Kyle Naughton, let's be honest.
In a season where we're looking relegation in the face, I think it's quite normal to have scrutiny on players who just haven't performed all season and also haven't show the right attitude either. He's not being singled out
