Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

How about the '10 talking points' section on the Guardian each and every Monday. We never get any press. Only talks about us when we lose - saying something negative.
When we're playing well - as we are now - no credit at all. Cunts
It's basically Woolwich Sport there...
the talking point from our match is (I shit you not)...

There was no mistaking the words Jack Wilshere bellowed at Eddie Howe and his assistant, Jason Tindall, on 53 minutes of Bournemouth’s 4-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday after a clattering challenge with Harry Kane. “I can’t move,” the midfielder said as Howe and Tindall demanded he remain on the pitch. Seconds later Wilshere was heading back to the changing room. Howe did not looked pleased by Wilshere’s decision to walk, later saying he and Tindall wanted the 25-year-old to remain on the pitch so Bournemouth were not reduced to 10 men against rampant opponents, and the question now is if Wilshere has a future at the club after his season-long loan. He has made 22 appearances since arriving from Woolwich in August, providing two assists and scoring no goals. It is a poor return and as Saturday showed, all again appears not to be right with a man who not long ago was English football’s next bright young thing.
 
I will always adore The King of White Hart Lane, but as a pundit I've never enjoyed his commentary (when watching England and Spurs particularly) but along with ALL (with exception of Jenas & Harry R) pundits he has his reversing lights on as he realises his gone the wrong way down the football motorway beep, beep, beep. Only last week he was at complete odds with Harry on Tottenham by saying that we needed to sign big blah, blah, blah now he's saying our team is better than Chelsea's. Whilst of course nice to hear now, it would have been nice for him to recognise and say it earlier, ultimately he looses credibility as a pundit.

For the record I don't want him or any other pundit namely Crooks and Clive Allen, that have Spurs connections to be fanboys (like the Smith's, Merson's, Thompson's & MacMannaman's that embarrasses themselves and ultimately their fans) just allow themselves to love what's going on. I get no sense of excitement or love from those that I have mentioned.
 
Still waiting and watching the space Mr Keys...........
Don't panic Mr Mourinho
"Spurs are still short - way short of where they were last season. Again, I'm hearing all is not well behind the scenes. I'm not convinced that Pochettino got what he wanted in the transfer window and he wasn't that impressed by what he did get. Watch this space"!

Cunt!


 
SSN did a bit on us and the title race and it was so negative it's untrue.

After very briefly stating that we'd closed the gap from 12 to 4 points in less than a month it then spent most of the time focusing on our "collapse" in last years race swiftly followed by the rumours of Toby not signing a deal. They even described Poch as being "techy" when asked about it in an interview when he was anything but!

It's like it pains them to say anything positive about us and they have to make sure they out way it with a load of negative shit.

Where's the praise for doing everything the right way and giving young English youth a chance? Really boils my piss.
 
Oh can can anyone explain to me why Gary Lineker seems so indifferent to Spurs? He can't help but shout his love for Everton and Leicester at every opportunity but you would never even know he played for us.

Yesterday he tweeted that Rashford was the most exciting young talent he'd seen in years! What about Dele Alli? You know the kid at your old club that's eclipsing the stats of the likes of Gerard Lampard and Scholes? Or that kid up front that's now scored 20+ goals 3 seasons running? Cunt.

He needs to leave twitter alone - it will end up ruining his media career.

The bit that bugs me is how little they speak about our injury crisis this year. We've already surpassed last year's "wonder season" total with six games remaining, we're highly likely to set an all-time (not just PL) record points haul (which stands at 77), and we've done all that with nearly every single first-team player missing significant games.

The funny thing is, those injuries are the reason I have no concern over a collapse this season. We're not tired; most players have had significant rest breaks throughout the season!

I know. Goes totally unmentioned. And the other annoying thing is they cream all over the likes of Klopp Pep and Jose yet they'll ignore Poch until a point where they'll start touting him for "bigger" things.

Never hear them say any of the other top sides are in danger of losing their star managers.
 
He's the sort of guy you want to like and he does have his funny moments on twitter but more and more I get the impression that behind the cheeky smile and silly crisp adverts he's actually a bit of an self centred arsehole.

I know someone that paid to play golf with him in a charity auction - Lineker didn't say a word to any of them for the first 3 holes - just completely blanked them, so they just told him to fuck off and they'd play the rest of the round without him.
 
Pointless Sky Sports article based on no concrete evidence trying to create a negative image that Spurs players are looking to leave even though we are playing the best football in the country... What a joke.

"Tottenham have no intention of selling Eric Dier, according to Sky sources.

Several newspapers have linked Dier with a £40m move to Manchester United.

There have been reports suggesting the versatile England international sees his long-term future in midfield and fears his ambitions may be frustrated at Spurs

However, it is understood Dier, 23, will not be leaving White Hart Lane.

Dier moved to Spurs in the summer of 2014, purchased from Sporting for £4m.


He has scored twice in his last four Premier League games for Tottenham."

Wouldn't ever see an article along the lines of Rashford looking to leave United in search of Champions League football!!
 
That is such a non-story. It starts off speculating that Man Utd might pay £40million for him, then concludes that he doesn't want to move.

It's like a five second inner-monologue you'd have while having a shit.

And, again, why the fuck would any of our players want to move to Man Utd?

The non existent made up transfer saga. Absolute cunts.

They even followed up a load of waffle about Toby's "saga" with a statement from him saying he signed with a view to be her for several seasons, is very happy, we'll win trophies if not this year then next!

It's the equivalent of them just saying "oh and by the way everything we just said 30 seconds ago about him being unhappy was total bullshit".
