We are 5 games (3 opponents) away from winning the Europa League and qualifying for next seasons Champions League.

Now, fans have a choice.

1. They can continue to insult the coach and the players; as they have done all season. Troll them on social media and boo them in the stadium. Groan every time a pass is misplaced, boo them off at half time.

or

2. Recognize that a plague of injuries upended the season, but we still have an opportunity to achieve what we set out to do at the start of the season - win a trophy and qualify for Europe. Get behind the team for the full 90 minutes.


Nobody in their right mind gives a fuck about losing to Fulham. The EPL is gone, we aren't in it. We have 5 games from now until the end of our season. That's all. We need a fit and ready squad.

Watch this shambles mate. We could have a coliseum type atmosphere and it wouldn't make a difference if the players behave so pathetically.

6 vs 2 and just walking around. Loose balls, bumbly footballers, no movement for eachother. They are knuckle dragging athletes, they don't have the brain for it sadly.

It's a huge shame but they never learn. Win one game and they are shushing the haters. Win 10 games before you get cocky boys. I don't like our teams attitude and that includes the manager giving it a stare down everytime he's slated by a supporter after a loss. 15 losses in 29 games. The fans owe this lot absolutely fuck all.

Play like a team and they'll get the support a team deserves. Spurs fans aren't daft, they see a lot of what happens and how feeble this team has become. Levy really let it slip didn't he. Our drop off is alarming.

Sorry mate , I appreciate that you are trying to be positive but every game is important to win , and saying who gives a fuck about losing to Fulham is exactly the narrative that plays into the "Spurs don't care about winning .
I want to win every fucken game , irrelevant , every single game , or bust a gut trying .

Agreed. We are 5 losses away from history. Let’s do this!
 
I agree that fan support is even more critical in a poor season than a good one. I don't like seeing the videos of fans booing players when they come over at the end of the game. I don't think players aren't trying, more a matter of a team that is poorly prepared for matches and lacks structure. Having said that, you can't ask fans not to be frustrated. How many times have they heard the manager and players say that what they just saw was unacceptable, only to see it again the following week? The manager doesn't deserve abuse getting off the pitch, but he also isn't helping the situation by stopping and interacting in the way he does. I hate to see this, but I don't think you'd see fans of any other team reacting differently.
 
"Don't worry about that bumble fuck pass to the oppo followed by a half-hearted run back to help us out in defence, Brennan. You're one of us. Johnson again. Johnson again."

"Don't worry about having the football IQ of a Japanese land snail, Biss. We can see you're trying. Yiddo. Yiddo"

"Hide away, Bentancur. We'll have your back once you reappear. COYS!"

"It's alright, Ange. We know that standing silently while everything around you turns to shit works for Tibetan monks. OOOOooooOOOO Ange Postecoglouuuu"
 
The thought of cheering on an odious prick like Ange is so repugnant to me I can't breath. Also if this self serious and arrogant fuck somehow won a proper trophy then he would be absolutely fucking unbearable. God knows what he'd do to the club.
 
Winning games and playing well is a fuck load important. Why? Because it's that form you take in to the EL.

You don't win a World Title when your sparring partners are cleaning your clock on the lead in to it.

I accept a period of rest for some players. That's it.

I dont accept shit performance from those playing. The manager is under pressure. The players are being questioned. Winners prove doubters wrong. The rest just mildly fall by the way side. This whole team is on the times up line. It's now or never from here on.

It should have never got to this point. It is however at this point and almost everyone not just the manager will face some career blow back if it isn't improved. And I mean like right now.

A new manager is not going to make much difference at this stage. That's wish casting. The problems are to deep set for a complete over haul with this team in a month. This season is now you've got what you've got.
 
I'm one of the most patient Spurs fans and was all for giving Ange some time previously however the last couple of months have been shambolic, we don't look like a team, we look awful and that is coming from the set up of the manager.

Every now and then we see green shots of what the team can do but the reality of it is the manager is just not consistent enough with his tactics and his line up. He keeps treating alot of these matches like friendlies, where he keeps taking CB's off after 60mins. Yesterday had a massive impact once Romero went off, why the fuck did he do it?!

I don't hate Ange, I really wanted him to work at Spurs, he did alot of good in his first season, does defend the club probably more than what others have done in the past although he does seem to have an issue with the criticism from fans and as a manager tactically he isn't good enough. Other clubs managers have found him out and Ange doesn't know how to counter that.
He's one of those that talks a better game than what he can produce. I do like his views on VAR though.

We are too easy to play against, the amount of defeats this season in the league is truly horrific.

Spurs are a very big club. Spurs are not a very big champion winning club.

At most Spurs will have one truly elite player in the team at a given time. For the most part Spurs teams are made up of very good to exceptional players, and potentially future elite youngsters.

The problem here is that for most players, Spurs is as high up the pole it's ever going to get. I believe that this allows to many the belief that they've achieved as much as they could ever expect and resting on thier well paid laurels seems the go to for way to many of them.

It's a real curse and the club will never truly know success until its wiped clean away.

He took Romero off because he has just come back from a lengthy injury. Dragusin & Danso are both injured, and Romero's time needs to be carefully managed to ensure he is 100% for the Europa League.

Yes, it would have been easy for Ange to start Romero, Porro, VDV, Madisson, Son - and we would have likely won the game. But at this stage, this risk is too great.

There is no backup for Romero, with Kulu out there is no backup for Madisson. Son is irreplaceable in our squad.

So why take a risk in a dead rubber against Fulham? If Romero went off injured - the fans would be the first to cry foul at Ange for risking him in a meaningless game.

Spurs aren't a big club.

They have a big stadium and they make lots of money; but on the pitch, they haven't been successful since the days of black and white TV.

How do you define a big club. We certainly have a huge fanbase, very few fanbases could fill Wembley each week or pay some of the highest ticket prices in Europe for a 60k stadium and we where good in the 80’s when colour TV was around. We have everything set to be a huge club but clear vision with greater investment (wages) in the playing squad.


We make far to many excuses for ourselves. We are a big club with a loser mentality.
