I'm not sure I'll go that far, I'd like to think we're all hardcore spurs fans first and want our team to be the best, and also want the best for our team. We just have different strategies of how to get there.
I wouldn't want us to get relegated, though, but I can understand that some people don't have reached their limits; and some of us are just plain anarchists (I am too, at times).
But, I'd like to believe that we're all spurs fans.I'm worried aboutShadydan
Still missing
I'm thinking of putting up some missing posters down my street
Does anyone by any chance know if he was microchipped ?
Probably done what a few of us should do, and take some time out.
Right now, I think Newcasle and us are in virtually the sane boat. Note Villa have done zero so far unless it's passed me by.
It's the weirdest window I can recall but there is also little doubt that without 2 or 3 quality sognings, it will have to be considered poor.
I think it's important,t, regardless of who h way you sway re: ENIC/Levy to recognise when we are not showing enough ambition,over being taken the p!ss out of us as a club.
But we have some leverage and we have to use it.
Our youngsters,some of whom look promising have to learn by example. I am unsure how that can happen with this current squad.
It needs improvement.
FFS grow up mate, how do you know the circumstances of the move failing?
We won the EL last season, this "It's been 25 years. It's too long" bollocks sounds like something a child would come up with, were you stomping your feet when you typed that?
MGW move collapsing to another club isn't a one off, and happens most seasons for whatever reasons.
Better the player backs out now than wanting out mid-season.
We will move on to another player, by season start this bollocks will be forgotten, and rightly so, but blaming the club without knowing the full facts is something that fickle fans jump to for no good reason but to show their immaturity.
"We are pleased to announce Paris Baguette has signed a new 3 year deal"
If you are talking about the players Scouse, Woolwich, Chavs and United have signed none would have come to Spurs, so we are not really "languishing" behind our rivals.
The time to judge is at 3.00pm on the first day of the PL season, when we kick off against Burnley.
Nailed it!
My first thought was if we get absolutely battered maybe we'll actually sign some players, but I doubt it would make a difference. We still won't pay the wages for anyone decent.
He's currently locked in a 2 day seminar hosted by Levy on how to defend Levy despite all the evidence against Levy.
I'm open minded on the topic and whilst I defend the right of all to criticise or praise as they see fit I also selfishly claim the legitimacy of opinion for those who pay through the nose year in year out.
Doesn't mean the 'armchairs' opinions have no value but it is often the non attenders imo who appear to be the ones who shout/incite the most yet rarely get off their 'arris to do anything about the current situation when they should be the people out there organising and leading the protests.
I accept the cacophony is often generated by a mixture within the no show group of those unable to attend and those who gave up going for a variety of reasons but maybe it is time to call them out and suggest they either do something about it, stop repeating themselves or STFU.
One player means we shouldn't sign anyone on big wages again?
TAKE A BOW, SON !!!!!!
MASSIVE MASSIVE POST
EVERYBODY SHOULD READ THIS
Exactly we wouldn't be prepared to pay for decent players.
Levy isn't bothered if the team gets battered, only concerned with, getting the right price and wages low as possible.
We all know that we won't be competing with Scouse by spending 130m on one player.
We all know that Levy (unlike Woolwich) will be spending a billion pounds in five seasons on players.
We will never be giving incoming players eight years contracts like Chavs.
It's not "depressing" if we look at our transfer policy with some realistic expectations, given our history.
We have no Knight in shining armour racing in to buy the club, and even if there was, that doe's not mean that they will spend, spend, spend.
Let's look at the squad after the transfer window closes, we have made five signings so far, and can debate their worth now or in the future, but these signings were agreed by Frank.
Why not trust what Frank wants rather than us all playing Fantasy Manager and scatter gunning a wish list that is unrealistic player targets that will never happen.
couldn't agree more. i'm almost more mad at myself than the club but it's the club that's taking advantage of my love and that makes them worse. i truly don't know how to go forward with this club anymore. it's an athletic competition and we don't compete. how are we supposed to get behind that? aren't we making it worse by supporting them?
after the disaster of last season, if we go into this one with one new starter level signing then what is the point of watching this shit again? there can be no doubt about where the ownership of this club stands at this point. football is not their priority and unless you just love big concerts and go carts, what is the point of being a spurs supporter?
