Yes!! A new Ange / Spurs follower!! You get it!
Ange is more than just a coach. He’s a continent.

You are Levy manna from heaven.

Be honest. How much money have you spent on Spurs merch to date??

Personally...Nil.
Why do I have to spend money to be a supporter?

I barrack for the Yamba Buccaneers RU team and have a jersey to wear to the games.
I also barrack for the Wallabies and have a jersey to wear to those games.
Plus I barrack for the Manly Sea Eagles in the NRL. All I've got of them is a towel. Am I going to drive ten hours to watch them play? No.
I also back the Aus swimming, cricket, hockey, surfing, darts and tiddlewinks teams, but I don't have any of their merchandise.

Does that mean I'm not a supporter?

The beauty of the cups absolutely anything can happen in a one off game.

Ask Moussa Sissoko.
The Spurs players who finished 11th in 2008 but beat a Chelsea team who lost the league just by 2 points.

Or even anybody who played for us in 1987. I know a lot of Coventry fans now. None of them expected a win.

We are the underdogs for sure this season. Let’s all hope for that football miracle. Not much else we can do as fans.

Well said.

We are a pretty dangerous underdog as well because we can beat literally anyone on our day

I’m afraid so.

You’re just an Ange follower. Not a true Spurs supporter. Definitely not a fan(atic). Not even close.

Us lot are in for hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands at this point.
That’s the burden we carry following this club for decades.

This stadium doesn’t pay for itself you know!
Who do you think pays Anges wages?? It’s us paying fans you fruitloop.

Imagine being happy we have a manager that’s lost 24 of his last 50 league games.

Anyone that thinks we are going to suddenly hit form in cup finals is massively deluded.

We are going to lose at Anfield. It’s likely we’ve got to have a play off if Europa. And it’s not a given we will beat Villa.

Question still stands. I know the "law"
But that came from the 80's or possibly even further back.
The entire world has moved on, and football is now a mega global event, not some local nonsense.
The fact overseas plastics can watch every game, but lifelong committed Spurs fans can't is unacceptable.
It's even worse that there are games that aren't 3pm Saturday games and they're not televised either.

the 60s actually. It was intended to protect the lower league clubs on the premise that if you couldn't stay at home and watch a Division One match you'd be more likely to go along to your local club's match. It is rooted in some truth as well, football league club's attendances are generally higher for midweek games when there are no PL or CL matches broadcast vs when there are, likewise more attend on Saturday 3pm than Sundays.

Definitely a draconian law for this day age.

What is the reasoning behind not televising games and depriving people from watching.

I'd love to see a full on poll on this.
I've never gone to another match because Spurs aren't on TV and never will. I listen to games on the radio if I can't watch it.
I am a Spurs fan. I do not watch anyone else. So kick off time makes no difference to me.
Maybe lower league teams should kick off at 10am to keep the fans going, rather than the big boys having to compensate.
