Match Tottenham Hotspur v. Manchester United - F.A. Cup Semi-Final

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

All the people excusing the defeat because Utd have more money and can buy better players....is Lingard now better than Dele than? Lukaku better than Kane? Pogba better than Eriksen?
Jones better than Jan?
It’s bollocks. Utd are average, but that little fucking badge on their chest means something to their players.
Our badge says stepping stone.
100% agree with you.
Its a rotten mentality running through the core of this clubs philosophy. Until it's addressed from the top downwards days like yesterday will continue. And people will still talk about the project

So many issues to address but this fairytale is slowly killing me inside.
I’ve believed in it strongly and take so much pride in it, and every year some player shits on it and wants out, and the team go on a kamikaze mission.

Today I’m actually the most angry I’ve been for any of the last three seasons. The Leicester season is boiling my blood this morning after watching yesterday’s game.

Sorry but bottle job is fitting. Could have won the title that year but we thought we’d leave Huth unmarked on the 6 yard box with 3 minutes to go after wasting 26 shots AGAIN.
And we could have won an FA Cup, but no, yesterday we decided that 1-1 was all too much, and gave up.
Despicable. Sick of them.
 
You say this at every step along the way. Over the years on here I've heard, Levy's got an itchy trigger finger, he'll never stick with a manager: wrong. We'll never be a consistent top 4 side: wrong. The stadium won't be built: wrong. We'll never mount a title challenge: wrong. We will never keep hold of our best players: wrong. The progress may not be at the speed you like, but it's the best progress of any club in Europe. Children always want things now, now, now; it's the role of the adults in the room to tell them to wait
You have said it a million times .
Nobody is greedy but many realise that it will not be good enough , it will slways leave us short , self deluded to think under todays strategy we will win the league in the next decade.
If the players don't believe /media then you live in a golden tower of fantasy.

You've just summed up the psychology of a few on here perfectly - it will never be good enough. And that's exactly right, even if we won the quadruple for five season in a row, you'd still bitch and moan. You're a no hoper, and it's you living in the fantasy land. I would tell you to go support Real Madrid, but you'd melt if you supported them. Competitive sport is not for you.

Absurd pompous drivel , blind delusion and self righteous superiority of a cretin.
 
United absolutely killed the game as it wore on. It was horrible to watch. I said when the ball went out of play on 77 minutes that United would not have it back in play till at least 80 minutes and so it was, that game management know how is important and I am surprised we don’t do it more ourselves, even though I hate it, all the top side do these things, not sure we do enough.

Overall, reflecting on the game, the players did let the club down yesterday. But I am still more pissed off over Brighton in the league than I am over the Semi.

I’ll melt down if we surrender 4th - this is my biggest fear - but I have long since accepted that the FA Cup is part of our history that is as reflective in failure as it is glory. Hard to write that, but it’s how I feel. We have now lost as many semis in a row as FA Cups in our history. Swallowing that down is hard to do.

Things will change now, the team has to change (Jan and Hugo getting older, Toby and Rose gone) maybe it’s rinse, repeat or maybe the addition of one or two new faces will really kick us back on.

Yesterday. Not good enough. Nor was Shity nor was Brighton. Stoke away was shonky. Somethings up. Time to sort it out. 4 wins and get over the line and regroup
 
It's the hope that kills you.

I really thought in the last few years we had potential to win things.

At least when we were dog shit throughout the 90,s and 00,s we knew we were dogshit.

Oh well, least it will be easy to get tickets at the new stadium when we get our Tottenham back.
 
Was saying to my mate - it's amazing how quickly the mood around the club turns, and it puts the new ST prices into perspective somewhat. Things have to be pretty special (ie our CL group stage form) to remotely justify them. Knowing you're paying through the nose for spells like the last week or so won't sit well with many.
 
How's the farm... sorry, I meant how's the delusional psychosis coming along?
Very well thank you. We have a young Dutch couple in one holiday cottage. The barn has a family in who have a small boat at Walberswick harbour They tend to be out a lot and the other cottage is empty as it's still low season.
Your be pleased to know that we have kept our 4 star gold award , and Rose award , as you are asking .we have 40 acres of grassland which we cut in early August for animal feed . Low maintenance and means my guests can use the land for walks as we are dog friendly. We are very near Latitude and surprinsly had a couple of members from Mumford and Sons stay. My 9 year Genevieve played harp for them , they were very kind.

Time consuming but not hard .

Their badge says "We'll pay you a fuck load more"

You think if we could offer players £150K pw more than United they'd still choose them?

Yeah, we should be beating that current United team, but the point is, in the long hall the team with the bigger budget always comes out on top.

Mate, we have lost 8 semi finals in a row. 2 or 3 and maybe you could put in down to bad luck. 4 or 5 and you'd be stretching it.
But EIGHT!!
Come on. Surely fans have every right to question this so called progress you talk of. For a club as big as Spurs with the fantastic support we pull from at home and abroad, Something within the clubs philosophy cant be right mate.

Walberswick and Southwold are absolutely beautiful. I went there many times with my clinically insane ex. Lovely stuff.

SUPPORT SOMEONE ELSE THEN!
JUST FUCK OFF
Why are you making the rest of us suffer with your constant whining? You start and prolong fights with Spurs supporters on here, you denigrate and whine about the players, the manager, the tactics, the supporters, the singing
You make out you have the answer to everything - and yet you refuse to take over the leadership of the club and take us to the glory we all crave.
Why is that?
Is it because you are just a massive gobshite?

Support the cub or just fuck off
