Competition The Race for 4th

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Woolwich and UTD fans already getting back to levels of smugness that nearly made the prem unwatchable.

No clue why but feels like this season has a long way to go even if all the top 3 have that boring sense of inevitability about them atm.
I think City pass Woolwich, but I don't know that it happens soon enough for the wheels to completely fall off. Probably shade second, but they'll stumble to the wire.

I think we'll catch United, whether it's for 3rd or 4th I don't know. Hopefully the Saudis drop off after their cup final defeat.

Well I suppose utd fans are of course happy, with getting trophy over the line, something that a lot of clubs have trouble doing.
As for Woolwich, they believe they can win that title, unfortunately for us spurs fans I think they will hold city off and win it.
 
We’re getting mocked again all over social media. Every time a team wins a trophy and there’s an article on it, the comments are just full of utter losers mocking Harry Kane and Spurs. It’s literally constant. Weghorst is the next one now 🤦‍♂️ obviously Eriksen doing the rounds. Obviously we don’t help ourselves i get that, but why are we as a club so ridiculed world wide? Can you imagine if we do finally start putting trophies away? They literally wouldn’t know where to look. I want to know why Newcastle don’t get mocked for now going 50 years without a trophy? It’s literally us constantly and mostly Harry Kane

Cause we're a big club and we're underperforming. Newcastle aren't getting mocked, because they aren't a big club, and they don't have to deal with the expectations we have to deal with.

For some reason, we are the butt of many jokes when it comes to this sort of thing.
As a club we haven't helped, when the team has been in finals they have crashed and burned.

It winds me up because why don’t Villa, Everton etc get mocked ? They are big clubs and win fuck all. I get we have had opportunities to win trophies, but we in particular and Harry Kane get mocked regularly all over social media.

Honest question, why do you care so much? I've seen you complain a few times about people online making fun of us and I really don't understand why you're so bothered about it.

Winds me up because i like to contribute on social media and all i see is Spurs getting slated constantly. It’s become a trend to slate us and our lack of trophies. Don’t get me wrong, our trophy record of recent is pathetic I’m not disputing that, but i wish other big clubs got the same level of stick we get. I’m just desperate to see us win a trophy and throw it back in everyone’s face. Can’t help how i feel.

Plus, i feel Harry Kane for all his fantastic personal achievements gets zero respect. People slating him because Weghorst won a league cup 🤦‍♂️ Just annoys me.

I mean Jesus, we even get slated at the darts with Westham, Chelsea and Woolwich fans rimming each other singing “Tottenham get battered”. Just interested to know why we are so ridiculed and why it’s become such a trend to single out Spurs.

I can assure you that nothing will change even if we do manage to win a trophy. All thats going to happen is that goalposts will be shifted.

Rival fans will instead say something along the lines of 'You've only won 1 trophy in 15 years'. This is the exact same thing that happened to Liverpool, got slated for not winning a league title and then when they finally win it it goes to 'You've only won 1 title in 30 years and now you're giving it the biggen'.

Also I find the darts thing hilarious, the fact that we're living in their heads at the fucking darts of all places.

Oh it’s hilarious being rent free in their heads but I’m curious why? Everton, Villa are all big historical clubs with rich history don’t you agree? Their trophy haul of recent way worse than Spurs. Why don’t they get slated? Liverpool still don’t get the level of stick we do because of their success. If we start winning trophies, i feel they would have not much to say because we can throw a trophy picture back in their face. Harry Kane thing winds me up because the lack of respect as he hasn’t won a trophy is astounding. Everyone completely disregards his achievements purely on trophies alone. I’m so desperate for him to win a trophy with us.

Flattered you thought of me, but not interested in the beef. I'm just enjoying the wins while they last. Don't make me ignore you again please.

I think the club doesn't help itself, the team might be on a good run, then we play say Woolwich or Chelsea and the inevitable usually happens, they blow out causing laughing from all quarters.
The club has a reputation for being smug, yet, we don't deliver anything, which again leads to piss taking.
Tottenham are just a club, that for a few reasons is the laughing stock of many of the clubs, even the shit ones are at it, going to have to take something big to silence the mockers.

No I agree and i have said 1 league cup in 23 years is pretty abysmal for a club of our size, but Everton and Villa are also big clubs terribly underachieving. Both never get in Europe and never win trophies. I just like to understand why Spurs are so universally ridiculed? On social media mostly, but just in general. Our trophy history recently is terrible i get that and trust me, I’m one of the biggest advocates at criticising us for that, but we are champions league regulars. Surely people should be applauding this? Considering we ain’t an oil club. Just baffles me why Spurs in particular are hated and laughed at.
 
What scenario would people choose:

A) We finish 4th, win the FA cup and get to the finals of CL again but Gooners win league.

B) We finish 5th, win nothing and Chelsea somehow finish above us to get 4th place but Gooners finsh second.
C) We finish 3rd, Goons finish 5th , We win the FA cup and CL, Putin sends a very small Nuclear war head that lands just on the emirates, no one is hurt but that stadium is destroyed, we see this as a sign and its decided that the goons move back to south London and start again there, in the national league! :contethumb:
 
Cause we're a big club and we're underperforming. Newcastle aren't getting mocked, because they aren't a big club, and they don't have to deal with the expectations we have to deal with.
Newcastle are a big club, its just there Rivals are Sunderland, so they get a free pass from other fans, as we are a London Club we are rivals with all the London Clubs, which i'm including united in as well as the majority of there fan base are southerners!
