It just shows how fucking enormous us going down would be. Like nothing the Championship has ever seen before.
This is really good! Beating Leeds and not losing to Forest and it can go down to the last game of the season
Yeh noticed that. When Villa and Newcastle went down it was big but this is being built up like it’s the Leicester title win event, like something huge.
Was talking to a Villa fan yesterday. Feels the same way about the premier league as we do, even though they are in a top 4 hunt. Games are boring and prescribed.
It’s an interesting question about the impact of Spurs going down could have on the premier league. Financially it would be a big hit but I think it might be an even bigger hit for storytelling and the media. Very few clubs create as much interest as Spurs, even from other clubs loving to hate us.
They built this “Spursy” narrative up so much that it’s one of the biggest and most compelling stories they have to tell every week. I’m not sure the PL can replace that easily. Especially during a period when everyone is so done with the product on the pitch.
He was referencing all of it. Us fans too
I think that the club should pump Maddison and Kulusevski with whatever drugs they’ve got to get them back on the pitch for the Sunderland game at the very latest, but I can’t see the playing this season tbh.
It would certainly be a lesson that you're never that far away from being relegated.
All it takes is complacency and thinking that it'll never happen to you.
It’s the lack of fight that’s the biggest worry for me.
All those teams around us seem to have players that are willing to run harder and get stuck in, whereas ours look like they’ve already given up.
I wasn’t in favour of binning Tudor too soon, but if he’s not getting a reaction then we have to at least try someone else rather than wonder what if after it’s too late (& none of this get Redknapp or Hoddle in bollocks).
Train longer, harder and more often. You come up against a team that you know you’ve worked harder than during the week. You’re not going to let them swan in and take points off you imo. Needs something like that mentality shift and inner fire. Everyone else wants us to get relegated.
Yeah that is where I am at too. I cant stop thinking about this relegation fight though. Fucking annoying.
"Solanke has revealed that the Spurs players have acknowledged their position in the table and it has prompted some honest discussions.
"We've just had a big conversation," he said.
"We know the position we are in is definitely not where we want to be so we need to figure out how we are going to get out of it as soon as possible.
“We know there's been difficulties but we're not in a position to make any excuses anymore.
"We need to do the job on the pitch. It is easy to say we want to be better but we want to be better on the pitch. We need to fight and realise the position we are in.
"We know the club is not used to being in this position so we need to understand it and understand it's not going to be easy and we need to fight every single game, every single minute, to make sure we improve."

Our players are like Harry Carpenter.
They just talk a good game.
A great point. But if we go down and ENIC do not sell the club, then we need to burn the fuckers down.
Quite right. My assumption is we go down. ENIC go or we dam well do the right thing and finally force them out.

Those are when the players are due back. I havent counted Madders and Kulusevski because I dont think they will be back this season.
We need to get through the Forest game without losing then be ready after the international break to go for it.

Don't upset people with the truth, you'll set off their Jose alarms.
Villa and Newcastle didn't get relegated after winning a European trophy and barely winning a home game in 'the best stadium in the country' etc.
Lots of us remember Newcastle getting promoted after being down for fuck knows how long.
It would be fucking huge and would concrete the definition of 'Spursy'.
Bollox to players having knocks or sore throats. You're playing!
