I think that's society in general tbh but yeah this is going off topic and will end up down the political route so let's leave it there 😆

Talking of the youth part , I have nothing against it - it worked well with Poch its just we didn't see it through and keep adding experience, that Summer window with no new players killed us - also signing Dud's like GLC and Ndombele didn't help either.

I struggle to see how that is stopping the extremists going out there and protesting or starting a movement, I struggle to see why those fans attack other fans for not following their lead?

Attack? I haven’t seen anything like that on this forum or at the stadium

Anti ENIC fans like to state their views but i haven’t seen any attacking going on

In fact you’re the poster I’ve seen attack people the most on here

Because it's the same point made over and over again and it's just a bit boring. Perhaps you don't feel the the incessant repetitive posts, and negative posts that bash our team and don't allow for nuanced discussion are toxic, but they kind of are.

Evey single club leaves themselves short in areas, every single season in this league bar 1.

Every club in the top 6 has finished outside of the CL and had below par seasons in the top 6 the last 5 years or so bar 1.

This is football. When you're winning games, it's easier to enjoy, when you're not, fans of every team regardless of how much silverware their owners have won for them complain.

And every single top 6 club has won a trophy, most have multiple, even in their "barren years". Apart from us.

Well you said that people who aren't moaning are 'happy clappers' which is just a load of nonsense...there's legit fans who are aware of who we are owned by accept that they will run the club however they see fit but just want to do the noble thing of just supporting the football club and getting behind the fucking players, weird thing for a supporter to do I know.

Also incessant moaning is boring and just spreads a load of negativity around the fanbase and ends up seeping into the stadium affecting the team, because we know what happens on match days, the feeling around the stadium of a set of fans who are drained, fatigued and not getting behind the team is felt by other fans and felt by the players. All those boos to certain players, all those murmurs, all the frustration at misplaced passes from a group of expectant fans affects the players so much so they play within themselves.

So I say all that to say this, if you're not happy then go and legit to something about it, like get up off your backside and fucking protest at the very thing which is making your life a misery but you don't want to do that do you because it's an inconvenience in your life so you'd rather just bitch online.

Well sorry but you're a bunch of self entitled selfish lazy arseholes because you have the temerity to moan every day on social media and call others happy clappers for not following your lead yet you don't do a fucking thing about it and when there is some form of an actual protest barely any of you are there to be seen, it's embarrassing and what's more the noise is only loud when we lose or going through any sort of perceived bad moment™ as a football club.

The ENIC thread for example was bumped on Monday because we drew a fucking match of football....where is that same energy wheh we win or do something good?...It's not there and the same clowns who moan and heartily mock their own club and other fans die down until the pendulum swings again, funny that.

Because Spurs fans always do this...they moan and moan and moan at the board but nothing happens, nothing ever happens, nothing will happen until those fans actually do something about it so if you wanna blame anyone blame yourself, you have the power to start to make a change or at least affect and you choose not to use it so its on you..fans generally deserve the owners that you get in football and therefore you totally deserve ENIC.

Lastly you just need to respect those who treat football as some form of escapism and not everyone is an online freedom fighter or keyboard warrior, fans generally are deluded or those who want to live in a delusional world and live in hope we'll just let them, the vast majority of football fans live like this, if that's what makes them 'happy clappers' then so be it.

What a load of bollocks. Moaning about our shite transfer window isn't relevent to any of that, it doesn't make us self entitled selfish arseholes. You are so way off it's funny. When Spurs win I'm as happy as anyone.

It is considered we overpaid for Solanke or in your words flashed the cash. This deal would not have happened a few years ago. What happened 15 years ago is irrelevant it is what has happened in the last couple of years. Yes we should have bought more but not injury prone ones in Neto.

I think 65m for Solanke is probably the going rate for a PL forward coming off the back of 19 PL goals.

Weird that you can remember that and not remember us getting VDV, a better player than either.

Steady on mate. Skriniar was a top class CL defender.

VDV still has a lot to prove this season, he needs to show top class consistency before he's talked about like that. He does have all the attributes to go right to the top and I do think he will get there.

Okay you don't like the word but whatever my question still stands, how do these 'deluded fans' stop you from protesting?

This response tells me that you didn't read that in its entirety, just saw some words you didn't like which happen to trigger you and you got in your feelings.

How do you equate moaning about our transfer window to wanting to go out and start a movement? Hahaha.

As a bit of balance, last summer window I thought we did really well. So I am not someone who moans for the sake of it. I criticise when I think the club fucked up, like I feel we have done this summer. You just need to deal with that, just like we have to see posts we feel are deluded.

I don't think Levy is evil, but I do think unfortunately he is too cautious in the transfer market and getting deals over the line and it has hamstrung us for two decades.

Nothing we can do will change his MO until he decides to sell up. But then who knows if the next owners will be any good, they could be even worse.
