You were born in 1977 and played against Eriksen at youth level? hmmmm right
U wot?
After some of the shit and knicker wetting I’ve seen on here the past few weeks, I’d say we are heading to be more like Woolwich fan base.
The main difference is that OUR fanbase wasn't treated to numerous titles and trophies throughout the '90s... we were mainly reared on a shower of mediocrity, and praying for Man Utd to win something eaxh year JUST to DENY ARSEANAL!
Maybe THAT'S where the link is, but the similarity ends!!
Other than that, we've been spoilt on hope... but no more!
I still think most Spurs fans (of a certain vintage) areSTILL pretty grounded... pissed off, maybe but grounded... because our expectations reflect that of the team's 'relative' success over the past 20-30 Seasons...
Almost, but not quite...
Now you CAN'T say that of Man Utd's breed of *NEW WORD ALERT: expectationalists!!

Finger was poised on the 'Ignore Thread' when I saw this post. You should never have to explain a thread title to someone. Why not entitle it as per the italics and leave any reference to Man Utd out of it.
Just a suggestion.....
Probably shouldn't have taken EIGHT posts to get there either.
Id rather see the club try and generate financial streams to grow the club through innovative ways that are organic than to see us slip into huge debt levels or be more of a sugar daddy team. Sadly money is the necessary evil but I am a huge believer that a genuinely successful club never spends beyond their means and if that means we grow our brand in such ways that the club never looks jeopardised or at the mercy of its owners then I'm happy with that.
No PL club is what is was in the 80s
No doubt.Who would want to live in Manchester
I think it's something that's happened to the Premier League in general (maybe even the Championship for clubs like Newcastle and Aston Villa). People from all over the world are able to watch matches in a way that wouldn't have been possible 30 years ago and it's only natural to expect them to develop the same passions that we do.
The days of "you can't be a true fan unless your father took you there by the hand at the age of five and you instantly fell in love" are gone. You can be a fan without ever visiting the stadium. I fully admit to being a product of 90s commercialism; there was no encouragement from either of my parents; all I got whenever I brought it up was "Uh, what do you know about football?" I taught myself everything I know about the game and fought for everything I've got out of it and feel that my passion is as strong as any season ticket holder's. I've been to White Hart Lane four times and have yet to see the new stadium but as long as you follow the matches and care about what happens, you're a fan.

No, because the fans make Tottenham what it is.
Also, this discussion has been had, extensively, elsewhere on the forum. Don't need another thread like this.
I'll settle for watching eleven men sweat blood and give their all in an effort to win a game of football, coming off the pitch exhausted but knowing they tried everything they could to win the game. Then the result becomes much less important. It's all about endeavour, commitment and effort. As the saying goes "When you have done your best then no-one can do more"
As a supporter that's all you can ask of any team.......
. Unfortunately I don't think that's the case at the moment. The team is grossly underperforming and as a result underachieving. The problem needs addressing quickly.
Wot da ya mean blud?
We is nothing like them,ya get me fam..
We’ve already got tourists, like any top four club in Europe has
I'll be interested to see what others have to say on the subject. My simple reply to the question would be an emphatic NO.
