Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

MoTD not even showing the Andre 2-footer is a crime against football.


I may be more pissed they didn't even show it, than I was when the red wasn't even given.
 
Honestly lads I couldn't give a fuck. I just assume they ALL hate us. You know when they were quietest and we got the fairest shake? When Pochettino had us terrifying teams, left right and center. Quietest I've known it in the media. Dembele Wanyam Eriksen years they all ran out of banter. The fear of a Tottenham planet was palpable. They then set about Pochettino to United or Madrid lever. But that's what I long for, the seriousness back. The terror in their eyes that we were about hit dominance

Words cannot describe how much I hate this loudmouth prick and the fact that he's our voice in the media

That's WHY he's "our voice" in the media .. the media KNOW how much of a prick he is, and are happy to let him represent us...

A nothing much midfielder, who, like Janie Redknapp was never good enough to get into proper management, but who spouts off sound bites thinking he's speaking for the people!

I can't WAIT until Maddison finally retires from football and goes into the media... A job he was born for!

Gell talk sense, (and favourably) about us for years if he gets the gig!
 
Hmmmm

TalkSPORT had a tweet where ‘Angelina Kelly’ whoever that is said Newcastle should purposely lose to West Ham to send us down….

They’ve since deleted it.. I wonder why

Yeah I posted it and it got deleted.

Funny how people were going on about lack of integrity to Villa when they played a weakened team and yet the media and everyone and their dog are pining for Newcastle to do the same thing.

I think they've stopped even trying to hide their hatred of us...

I really DON'T wanna push the Anti Semitic button... But the more I see online, where EVERY clip of Jews (which are merely posted for others to laugh and point at) is usually followed less than 3 or 4 comments down by: "just Spurs fans going about their day" is kinda starting to grate!

I genuinely think that the Nations current hatred of Jews via their ignorance about how most Jews ACTUALLY feel about Israel is getting mushed and merged with Tottenham = Jews = Israel....

It's all linked, and they fucking hate us!
.there. I've said it!

FFS man this narrative is so boring...It’s not antisemitism. The reality is we’re a massive club and people want to see us fail because it’s a huge story. A big six club potentially going down completely changes the landscape of the league and gives other clubs more of a chance to progress up the table.

There’s also the fact that from a neutral perspective people would find it hilarious because it’s something we’ve never seen before. It becomes one of those historic football moments, like Leicester winning the league - people are drawn to chaos and massive stories and let’s be honest we’d be exactly the same if one of our rivals was in this position.

If you want to use the antisemitism angle that’s only really become a talking point in the last couple of years online anyway, we were getting disrespected, bantered and hated long before that. It's just football tribalism more than anything else, at the end of the day people love seeing big clubs struggle.

I'm not saying it's the ONLY reason, but it's becoming a factor...

The fact people just assume we're "The Jewish club" cos of the Yid thing, fail to realise WHY we were tarred with that slur (and yes, it WAS a slur when directed AT us) for DECADES before we started using it...
Tottenham were despised, calling us YIDS was the thing Chelsea, West Ham, and even Woolwich fans (despite having. MASSIVE Jewish contingent in their Fanbase themselves) threw at us to reinforce their hatred....
They HATED us AND they threw that at us...
No other club (other than Rangers & Celtic) have a religion associated with them so blatantly, and as such WE are facing hatred that goes beyond why people claim they hate Man Utd or Liverpool.. Teams whose SUCCESS breeds a jealousy amongst other fans that morphs into hatred...
What Major, SUSTAINED decades of success have WE had that's earned the same level of jealousy...? None that's what. Yes we're a big club, but no bigger than Everton or Man City (pre-Oil money) yet the levels of vitriol and bile aimed at Everton are miniscule... And THEY'VE WON the league in relative modern times.. We haven't! So why the NATIONAL hate aimed at us?

Why do clubs like COVENTRY, WOLVES, LEICESTER, SOUTHAMPTON, VILLA seem to ALSO have a problem with us... we're not their rivals, yet they seem to hate us as much as some London clubs
.. What the fuck have we done to THEM?

It just doesn't make sense to me, and I'm desperately trying to find a common reason why....

I know many, many Newcastle fans. And I can tell you now every single one wants us to go down because we are perceived as the BIG 6 club. Probably the biggest, certainly the wealthiest club to ever be in this position in the PL era

But.....I can also tell you that every single one of those same supporters dislike Woolwich, Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool more than they dislike Spurs.

Edit: we all know quite a few Man Utd supporters. And for whatever reason a fair few I know (not all) would prefer West Ham to go down.
Seems bizarre, but there you go
