Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

By the way, well done to Wolves; highly organised team attempting to play with some flair. Not sure they have the attacking players to push for top 4 but their manager has got them playing some good stuff.
 
So obvious 75 to 80 per cent of team arent good enough. Think i said last wednesday it was 3 years ago around this time poch lost his rag at burnley as was frustrated he couldnt get anymore out of team. Here we are now and saying same thing. Out of entire squad would keep regulion unless he goes back to real madrid on buyback clause, romero, skipp and front three. The rest can go. Terrible state of affairs atm. Wolves didnt have to break sweat today. Lost two in a row now to mediocre teams now. Honeymoon period worn off now for conte. Think the players looked overtrained and flat today.
 
Most depressing thing about today was the thought that 10 man Woolwich beat them at their leisure at Molineux the other night.

Nah, keep Skipp, Benty, Kane, Son and Romero. Maybe Dier. The rest are just rubbish
 
I just don't know what to say anymore.
In the space of 4 days I have spent over £200 to watch and support the team I love, only to leave the stadium pissed off and thinking is it all worth it.
Even after wednesdays loss, there was still a buzz around the place, we were behind the team even after going one down but when you have to sit and watch a bunch of players who don't give a fuck and are incapable of playing the simple basics of football it just drains any enjoyment you have or had.
Top 4 is there for the taking as no o ne seems to want it but our bunch of headless chickens don't seem capable of knowing it's there, despite being crap for the majority of the season.

In the past we knew we were shit and losing was the norm but when you have one of if not THE best manager in world football, one of if not THE best striker in world football and indisputably the best stadium in the world, it's ok to expect more.
There are no excuses for being so shite, there are no excuses for mincing around without a care in the world..We the fans deserve so much better.

How in the name of fucking God can anyone pick Winks game after game, he is the worst footballer I have seen at this club for many years, Doherty is not far behind either,.
How have we gotten into this situation? It beggars belief.
I'd rather see Devine, White or anyone from the under 16's in place of Winks, ho can anyone be so bad at football?

All we had to do was win 2 home games against 2 average teams to get one foot in the top 4 and make the other teams believe that we are the team to beat, but we naused both games up without a whimper.

I just hope the players go home embarrassed but I truly believe they won''t be as they couldn't give a shiny shite.

Sort it out for fuck sake you over paid uncaring bunch of Dossers.
 
Im at a loss with this football club. Just as things looked on the up after we beat Leicester, we were playing attacking football, scored last minute goals and were unbeaten under Conte in the league....

Then we lose three Premier League games on the bounce. They are so inconsistent, I'm actually just gonna write this season off now and pray to god that the club have something exciting lined up in the summer with getting players out and signing some half decent ones.

It's fucking painful.

We really have built up this loser mentality recently and it will only change when a select few of these players are moved on.
The problem is, will any half decent players want to join us without european football?

I would quite happily consign at least 5 of that team to the 'never to be seen in the shirt again' pile including;

Winks, Sanchez, Doherty, Davies, Sess..

That's 4 of the back 5 that started today .. Some of the body language on show today (not for the first time) was an insult to the people like yourself forking out a fortune to turn up in the pissing rain to watch them. This was about 20 minutes in by the way!
 
Couldn’t agree more. Prime example once again is Diaz. Dither and fuck around like we do and he ends up at Liverpool. Already looks a top player, whilst we buy a back up target in Kulu. And we wonder why we struggle ? I am so sick of it
Thing is we missed out on Diaz for whatever reason but did we really need to buy kulu? Especially if the reported fee is correct of £8M loans plus £32M in 18 months. Simple maths tells me that is £40m. Why could we just have paid that for Diaz early doors before pool jumped in? This guy is nowhere the sane level as Diaz from
What I have seen. Diaz would have gone straight into our starting 11.

This is the thing. Everyone keeps going on about conte and how much of a hard nut he is and winner. Yet he seems to absolutely stand by this pile of crap. He keeps playing them regardless. I keep saying it but surely Harvey white , Rodon to name but two couldn’t do any worse. Ffs give someone else a go! Try 433 or 442 with berg and Lucas wide. Anything but this Jose mk2 shite of coming out and playing not to lose and trying to hit teams on the counter. Strange but in the 2nd half , partly due to wolves just not bothering too much, we actually tried to play with some pace and intensity. That’s all we ask and that should be from the get go not when we are desperate. We all hope conte can turn things around but give us some hope pls of at least trying to setup to win a game rather than try not lose. Look what happened 3 times v chavs and all he says we are not at their level. Ok I’m teens of spending not but surely he can set up so that we are t going into the gane already with belief we can’t win. I’d love to know what he says to the players before games.
 
When people say we had a good window it’s because we made first steps to get rid of some significant deadwood at the club and signed a couple of promising players - I don’t think anybody really thought our squad had gone up a level.
Promising players in whose eyes Patricia? No one else thought these last minute buys were promising. Certainly not juve who were happy and glad we or should I say patrici helped them out. They weren’t what was needed.

That in a nutshell is our transfer strategy. Have good first choices, be cheap, faff around and miss out. Then just go for someone thats available regardless. Reminds me of missing out on Mane, then baulking at the £30m for Zaha before signing Sissoko on deadline day for the same price. A fraction of the player in a different position.

Almost impossible to buy impact players in January.
Didn’t happen for United, West Ham or Woolwich either. Possibly we added by subtraction but no more than that.
Did anyone realistically expect us to get Diaz or Vlahovic? If you thought it was on, PM me, I have a bridge to sell in Brooklyn.
 
Heard conte tore into players after saints game. Probably did as well at half-time today. Ohara reckons was worrying signs seeing players out after half-time. That was shit.
I wouldn’t be suprised if he has already lost some of the dressing room especially with his constant putting down tactic of saying we will struggle to win 3 points in most matches. Just the thing players want to hear before going out. I can already here him going on about citeh. I don’t hear many other pl managers doing this?
