I might be well off but I get the impression Johnson takes the stick, some fair some unfair, he gets a little to personally and he seems a little at odds with the fans??

Can't really say from his side as I'm not in his head - but I'm a fan & I've never been at odds with Johnson.

All players get stick on this forum which I think is normal :)

I don't want us to loose. Dare I say even playing Man City. I however don't rejoice and raise players to the sky because they score or assist one or two goals. My take is, I'm glad we beat Ipswich. I however don't laud, Kulu, Son or Johnson. If we played a better team that took their chances first, we'd have been chasing and probably lost.

It works me when people paper over cracks by rejoicing a goal or two from players. What erks me more is that I do think Johnson is Useless and I'll voice it. I absolutely hate fence sitters that make comments after coming out of the shadows. Don't send Happy Faces because Johnson scores and someone just called him useless. Make a comment sure. Celebrate the goal but don't appear to be lauding the player.

So we can't celebrate players due your perception of them? If so then sure matey that's tote's gonna happen - it never works when people tone police on how to celebrate games.

Also if the players you mentioned went on to get 1 hattrick per game how would you celebrate? just continue to call them 'useless'??

Not going to lie you're coming across as a curmudgeon while also in soft way you're judging on how others should act or show their opinion as it doesn't meet your standards. Very healthy way of communicating by the way :)

Tone Policing is bad form my friend.

At a more ambitious club Ange would have been sacked at least a month ago. We’re not that kind of club at present. Ange is winning some games against middling clubs right now and some folks are seeing it as a sign that things are returning to health, and that there never was a problem with Ange to begin with.

There’s not really much you can do except applaud the team and hope for the best. Fans want to celebrate Spurs, and become angry if you contest their reasons to be cheerful.

What a godawful poster and hopeless "supporter" you are.
Back your team, back your players, back your club

There have been many players for Spurs that have moved before. Berbatov, Keane, Redknapp, Carrick, Sheringham, all have moved to bigger clubs. Granted not many in Levy's time. Money however talks. Do you think Levy will reject a 60-70 million offer for Spence if Liverpool come knocking? Do you really think Spence will turn down a 180-200 000 pound offer if it comes from a bigger team, if so, you are living in a dream world. There aren't many Harry Kane and Sons. We will loose the good players we have because have no ambition to win. Most are happy with the up and down drama Levy has to offer. I am not.

You're talking about 15-20 years ago.

Again, we're a much larger club now.

Kane didn't stay at Spurs out of live for the badge. He flew off to Florida and went on strike to try and force the move to City he'd been begging for. He was told to get the fuck back to work, and the next summer was sold to Germany.

United wanted Bale, Levy told them to get fucked and eventually sold him to Madrid.

Rat face went on strike trying to force a move to Chelsea. He was, likewise, told to shut up and get back to work before eventually being sold to Madrid.

United wanted Dier and Dele, and long coveted Kane, were told to get stuffed on all accounts. Several English clubs wanted Eriksen for years, he was retained until we were done with him and then shipped out to Italy.

Spurs don't sell good players domestically. If Spence gets his head turned this summer, he'll be told to get back to work and he'll be playing in Germany or Italy in 18 months.

I was calling for us to sack Ange since we lost to Ipswich. In truth, I started the season saying he needed to qualify for the CL and/or win a trophy to get a 3rd season. In September I said I wouldn't sack him "yet" but that this season was just more of the same dreadful shit from the season before and I'd be looking for replacements. And the first time I suggested he should be sacked was after the Wolves home match last season.

There's not really anyone here I think is more #AngeOut than me at this point.

And you've really taken this in a weird direction. I was digging you out for not supporting the players, not the manager. And I wasn't really digging you out, I just generally enjoy when someone in a match thread rages about how shit a player is and then they score. Probably my favourite part of match threads.

If you can remember your company name, go into company house website and look up your details. It should tell you the exact date you were registered as a company.

Self-employed, different (technically what is called a sole trader). Although I am also a director of a company so am very familiar with Companies House. The issue has meant I have been unable to file self assessment as well but no biggie, I will get it done.

I am also employed so rebates often are a possibility. Those who have to make a "payment on account" will know what I mean. Although my dad did tell me you don't have to pay what it says, you can call them up and change it.
