Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
The media and football authorities all make more money when the 'big clubs' are strong - unfortunately that's what it boils down to
The only thing they haven’t all realised is that the PL is the wealthiest league, because its the most competitive, so long term pushing just Utd and Liverpool so much makes no sense.....you end up like all the other leagues
I don't get the big whooh-hah... looks perfectly normal to me!
People don't realise, this footage was taken 2 weeks ago, BEFORE anyone turned up... it's ALWAYS like that up there!!!
The more of the cunts that get Corona the better
Didn’t really know where to put this: article on BBC about race bias in commentary where lighter skinned players are more frequently praised as intelligent and darker skinned players to be praised for physicality.
However, nowhere NOWHERE does it say about commentators not knowing who is who between Sissoko / Aurier / Sanchez!
Gets my goat.
Thank you.

I can see his point though. When Dele has been subbed off in the past he hasn't taken it well, throwing his boots down, water bottles etc.
I don't know if it was because he was subbed or he was disappointed in his own performance, but it's not a good sign.
Yet when players from other clubs throw a strop when getting subbed, it shows PASSION and commiment at being disappointed with their own performance... when Dele (or Ndombele, or whoever) do that, it apparently shows dissent, and they clearly want out!!
Short-man syndrome
Waddle does something similar, and is clear to point out his loyalties lie with Sheffield Wednesday.
Not sure why, both had good spells with us.
I think some over-compensate in striving to be seen as objective.... For years, Hoddle was the same but seems a bit more relaxed these days.
It does appear strange sometimes. Take ex-Woolwich players who become pundits like C*mpbell, Merson, Smith, Keown, Nicholas, Groves, Parlour, Dixon etc (shit that’s a lot of scum) - they all seem to remain Woolwich supporters through and through which shows in the form of bias. Liverpool pundits are the same. We tend to have ex-Spurs player pundits who have little loyalty and even seem to dislike us such as Crooks, Lineker, Redknapp etc Even those who you would like to consider are Spurs through and through like Hoddle and to a lesser extent Jenas seem to go out of their way to be unbiased.
To be fair to Lineker, prior to the Leicester title win he was always unashamedly pro-Spurs. Gazza to during his rare pundit appearances.
Considering our lack of success we have a lot of ex players as pundits, and I’m not including Judas, Jamie Redknapp, or Sourness.
Winning simple. Its human nature. I hate to go there but.....there are loads of people who voted remain and are now vocally pro Brexit. They want to be associated with the win no matter what they really feel. If we had beaten the Mickey in the ECL final: Lineker, Crooks, Jenas, Waddle, would be signing our praises. Their ambiguity around Spurs would disappear. We are to blame, because we never broke that ceiling. I work in story telling I'll be no more detailed than that. Narratives are incredibly powerful, ours is now a grail quest. When people talk about club culture and people being in winners, they over look the bigger narrative around Spurs. The win is all and it needs to be big. ECL, EPL. Only they will do.
Do not see why he would hate us. Saw him in the early nineties in the stand amongst Spurs supporters. he was not working and I cannot see why he was there unless supporting us.
No, he left under the fucking burger van.
