You seem under the impression that I automatically think everyone that doesn't like the owners is a miserable, bullshit merchant.

You'd be wrong about that..... Only certain people.

It's not your obsession with other posters that I question. Its that you genuinely seem perturbed by the strength of feeling against the owners for whatever reason. Frenchie is a hobbyist. I don't think he really cares just likes to be contrary. His national intrest radically out weights his care for Tottenham.

I just think you dont get it. Im stuck with this thing like Nutter-Naylor Nutter-Naylor Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman Spurs64 Spurs64 the other lifers. But I am also very mindful of the clubs emotional future because I volunteer in the shadow of the ground with boys who can never ever afford to go, its their club too. We are not the well run concern that Enics valuation suggests. And by the way more needs to 'change' than the 'change for Tottenham ' lot seem awear of.

Curtis.

Fuck going to Liverpool to sign that wee prick Elliott. You gonna give the dippers big money so they can afford Isak, splash it on a kid who's actually a very good player.

He'd start week in week out here (well, if we hadn’t brought in another opp in Palhinha), whereas he's gonna struggle for mins at Anfield.

he's "proper Scouse" though, I'd say it'd take a lot for him to leave.

Put a tonne of dosh into the turnstile over the years thx.


Why not now ask the same question of the likes of John Thomas; if being a current ST is a license to do nothing but piss, moan and frequently lie....?

I think that poster is genuinely on a wind up

I feel angrier returning from a game having endured dross as opposed to watching at home tbh. I can take bad performances but the complete lack of ambition and direction, have worn me down

That's an interesting one. I like both players. But given the choice I'd probably prefer Eze...just.
Both a good fit, but Eze comes across as the kind of flair player born to play for Spurs.

On Eze, I think he might be an even better fit than MGW because of his smile. The club has just lost a pretty special bloke when it comes too EQ. I feel like we have a few characters that do better around guys able lift their spirits. Read Sarrs goodbye post to Sonny and you see what a fulcrum for that dressing room he was. Think Eze can help with this.

Good cos "obsession" would be bllx.... I just give as good as I get when it comes to some of these cunts.

.......Although my name is never too far form your lips; is it?

Wrong again......

Most of the off pitch stuff you listed; I concur with and criticised in each case.

I just don't buy a lot of rhetoric around our spending.

(I know I'm wasting my time here cos I've said all this over and over and none of it sticks.......... You and other's judgements anf preconceptions are set in stone.)

Politely; you're way off........ I'm a lifer thx; the only reason I'm not still on those terraces every week are deeper than the kind of shit I'm gonna divulge willy-nilly to randoms like you (even if I have explained at more depth here in the past).... I couldn't care if you think I'm proper or not.... You're just playing the "real fan" card here and I'm perfectly content that it doesn't wash.

That sucks..... 1) I was originally price out of the stadium in 92/93 and 2) I work with youth myself.... So I get it.

My interest is piqued, but I sense you won't/can't share on that front.

100%..... And the longer the journey the worse it is........

I've done 3hr trips home from WHL... I've done 30min walks home from WHL.

I still spit in the face of the "you don't have an ST so you don't truly care" sentiment though.


We have overseas fans that get up in middle of the night to watch our games on TV...... That's a damn sight more passionate than some ST holders that just basically go cos they can afford it and have nothing better to do.

Ha ha sue me, my good man.

No but seriously...if our in-house geniuses had got a plan together end of May and knew their footy, going after Jones + MGW + Eze should defo have been on the cards. All are English, young but experienced, quality players. And wouldn't break the bank either.

Jones - Sarr - MGW as our starting 6, 8 & 10...with Palhinha, Bergvall & Madders on the bench...I mean that's solid and defo something Spurs can afford.

There’s a lot spurs could’ve done and we’re always up in arms about what they end up doing

Some of it is akin to self harm

Let’s see if we can go some way to rescuing it before the window closes

Not you though. You have been the same level of miserable the whole summer. Some will have had a happy period, feeling some hope before we go back to being miserable. Who wins?

Who wins? I guess we’ll find out. The thing is that I will HAPPILY admit I am completely wrong.

Even if the floodgates open and three fantastic players show up at the last minute, it will still be great but we now have to bed in these players with no preseason.
