Match Tottenham Hotspur Karting FC vs AC Milan 08/03/2023

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Genuinely, all jokes aside, the fact that it seems almost no one is even the slightest bit excited about a Champions League last 16 second leg under the lights against a European giant in a tie that is still very winnable sums it all up really.

Something has gone very, very wrong.

I think its the inconsistency. Everyone knows that even if we win and win comfortably, the game after will likely be back to boring uncreative football where players like Hojbjerg and Perisic can't turn or pass.

I myself am still very excited though, this could still be our last UCL game for a while, you never know
 
I don't think we will even trouble the scorers here and are bound to make at least one mistake at the back so going for a comfortable 0-2 win to AC.

This will bring a lot more people over to the fuck ENIC side as the realisation dawns that another season has been and gone without a sniff of glory.

If we do play out of our skins somehow in front of a home crowd and scrape through I expect the ENIC lovers to be on here giving it the large one to try and justify their increasingly untenable and frankly embarrassing position. But some people just don't know when to give it up.

Of course I hope for a win but reality suggests we aren't going much further in this competition unless we are incredibly lucky, which is not something anybody associates with this football club.

Hate on it if you like but this is where we are.

Yes it has.

For me the point at which the first tinglings of something being "wrong" was the Chairman's statement on May 19 2021 in which he said...

"...I feel we lost sight of some key priorities and what’s truly in our DNA. ......

It has never been because we don’t care about or respect you, our fans – nothing could be further from the truth."

And then he employed Conte who is not and I repeat NOT a manager who has anything to do with the DNA of our football club.

The long term that Mr. Levy talks about is the long term for him. In the long term, we will always be behind the megaclubs one way or another. I do appreciate that he has done exceptionally well in dragging this club from midtable mediocrity with poor facilities to where we now stand. However, I now truly believe he has lost all interest in having a sucessful football team and realises his best chance of increasing the return on his investment is through broadening the appeal of THFC as an all round entertainment brand as opposed to giving the fans what they long for.

76% of this forum wanted Conte...... This would suggest that they have also seen fit to reject the so-called DNA (at least when it suits them).
 
After the last 2 matches I really have no idea how this will go. If we get through, Conte stays a little longer. We have not scored in our last 2 matches and whilst Son does not deserve to start, nor does Richie and certainly not Moura. We need to score twice and it is difficult to see where the goals will come from watching these last 2 matches. We are at home and have played better at home recently and so here’s hoping for something better.

There's a huge spectrum of fans from dyed in the wool to day trip tourist. None of them would I call a cunt.

Not really any need. We are all here to support the chaps wearing the lilywhite shirts surely?

I wouldn't call a decent Spurs fan a cunt whether they were ENIC in or ENIC out.

While I disagree with anybody who still supports ENIC I respect those that pay the money and go and support the team, you will find me putting likes on any of the real fans who say they are going to games.

But he's one of the handful of snidey pricks on here who thinks he is an intellectual powerhouse, regularly talks down to people and is all about trolling.

I call him a cunt because that's exactly what he is.

Utter bullshit.......

Says the same person who commonly and condescendingly (yet childishly) calls people ENIC-lovers.......

The same guy that called anyone that didn't want to lose to Man City not proper fans.

I will hold my hands up. I am 50 years old, and only recently (last 5 years?) have I really taken any notice of managerial style.

I suspect that what you are witnessing in that poll is 'Conte wins everywhere he goes....get him in". What people don't necessairly understand from afar is that he plays really boring footbal with technically excellent players.

I don't think you can take a fans poll, certainly not one where the fans are desperate for their fortune to change as guidance on what people want to see on the pitch.

I'm pretty sure that you don't overly appreciate the brand of football that we have produced over the last 4 years. And we have very little to show for it. I have loved seeing us in the Champions League, pitting our wits against Europe's finest. Barca, RM, BM, Inter, MC, Milan etc... in the last few years. And to be honest that has kept my interest. However, if we fall out of that strata for more than a couple of years my interest might well wain if the football we are playing is dull and defensive.

I'm not sure how invested I'd be in going to see us play Crystal Palace, Burnley, Sheff U, Bournemouth, Southampton etc... if all we can expect is 5 at the back and soak up pressure until we concede before making subs in the 80th minute if there's nothing else to pique the interest.

Yeah we dislike eachother, but the difference between me and him is I don't jump all over his posts putting dislikes and replying I let him get on with it, he's constantly up in my grill.
With silly comments about me being a gooner, like I'd be this unhappy if I was a fucking gooner ffs, this club is killing me.

Anyway I've solved the problem he's on ignore with the other snidey pricks.

That way your good self doesn't have to hear it.

If they're as naive/ignorant/[insert preferred term] then sure; but they should perhaps not pretend to be otherwise at every other turn. We're talking about an environment (TFC) when most people like think they know their shit and what style of manager Conte (or Jose who was also initially a popular hire!) is....

Those same people bitching about DNA is taking the piss quite frankly.
