pressure is on, we collapse. same old.What makes it different then?
the league will be a lot harder next season. I think we will do well to get top 4.At least winning the double next season will make up for this.
Who knows, he'll return and justify his weird status at the club.
You are right about the past but why do we repeat it. Can never get over the line. Not talking about the league as we were playing catch up but I mean leads we have in terms of league positions. Yes we are 3rd. Group stages of CL. An improvement on last year and a young first team. But the monkey is still on our backs as is this feeling that we can never hold onto anything no matter what kind of gap we have. Whilst it's mathematically possible, it seems to happen. Next season if we do find ourselves in a position Leicester were in (7-8 points clear) one defeat or draw will have everyone thinking oh here we go. And that feeling will take over rather then us getting back to basics and playing our normal game.
I mean this respectfully and I'm aware I'll sound like a wanker, but I'm guessing you're quite young. I'm 31, go to as many games as I have over the years and see if you feel the same way. I am beginning to understand how people around me in the Paxton become moaning, spiteful old cunts. It's from multiple experiences like yesterday. Fuck, I think I am beginning the transition myself...someone help me.
They're cunts. Forget about it and enjoy Summer. I'm not a trainspotter - I'm not even going to think about those cunts till the first game of the season, and even then the overpaid bottling cunts can fuck off.She supported Huddersfield Town when she was a lass. We're all Spurs now. She fucking worries about me when we lose. Ha ha. Mothers eh?
Fair point and the players actually did put a shift in in the second half. Even at the end they were trying to score a consolation goal.Sometimes team isn't firing all cyclinders and the ref can lift you out of that rut, or in Tottenham's case (ALWAYS) put the boot in.
Yesterday was one of worst penalties given against any team, ref knowing it didn't matter to Newcastle but mattered to us (and Woolwich), so at 2-1 against 10 men he virtually killed off our last chance.
Do not forget that point when you slag off our players for giving up.
no one cares apart from you saddo.
please find a new obsession. I am feeling stalked.
lets just agree to not post to each other anymore. thanks
Haha true - brain says no, but heart says it damn well hopes for that too!.I hope his squad evaluation happens whilst he is still fucking angry about yesterday - it might be the only positive to come from that game.
it isn't the same set of players so it can't be the same or the result of repetitive and systematic failureWhat makes it different then?
The guy has just signed a 5 year deal and he will be fucking furious no doubt about that
The summer activity has just become a bit easier for him for those who may have shown heart and loyalty to cause but end of day just won't cut if for the Champions league and his aspirations for the club
I love this club blindly and also would follow it to the Champions League or the Conference. IMO slagging off the players is not the same thing as slagging off the club itself. You can be critical of the players, the manager, the chairmen all you like, it doesn't make you any less of a yid. Those people come and go, and they are mainly in it for their own gain, it is the fans that make up the club, combined with things like the area, the stadium, the culture (e.g. our way of playing football, the colours, the badge, the hatred of our rivals) and those players or managers who became legends due to their service to the club like Billy Nick.These are your comments
These are damning, carping and accusatory statements that don't sound like they come from someone whose support is unconditional and blind. They sound like they come from someone who has done an appraisal of clubs and worked out that Spurs might be going somewhere and feels angry that his investment has failed.
- To be humiliated shows we still possess the ability to let an actual mathematical lead go.
- Only Tottenham could do that.
- Every time I say 3 points from 12 needed I am furious.
- A disgrace.
- As was the desire from the players in the last two games.
- Look at Newcastle, they'd already gone down.
- Still the same soft bottling Tottenham deep down.
So my comment wan't childish, just challenging.
Here's my challenge, get some passion and love for the club and treat it like its your child. That way you forgive it for its faults, love it unconditionally and support it with your dying breath - not see it as an exercise in picking a hip team that will allow you to show everyone how clever you are for selecting them.
I have seen this team relegated and I have seen it try its hardest to get relegated again, I have seen it descend into farce and reduce me to tears. Nothing surprises me about my team any more, but I still remain a committed fan with an unconditional acceptance of all that happens to it.
Most of all - I am really proud of the way it conducted its business this season, the way we played, the performances of our best players and the fact that we finally had a team. None of the top 10 "put us down" and we only lost a handful of games to any of them by the odd goal.
One freak result that ultimately has left us pissed off simply because the goons jumped us by a point - and people want to swear blind that every player is a cunt and the manager is a wanker.
Sorry my friend, I don't play that way. I'm in this for the long haul. Good or bad, Champions League or conference, its my team and I will back it and support it to the bitter end.
You say I believe that the last game was acceptable? Seriously?
I think that a "Fuck you" is in order.
This isn't the same team as any that have collapsed in the past, so I stand by the comment I made about that as well.
