Match Tottenham v Chelsea - December 8th - 4:30pm KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It’s ENIC Bill.

We’re long suffering fans that have been conditioned to accept our lot. Nothing wrong with that; we’ve had some great times.

But ENIC are an anachronism. They have no interest in the casino like gambling of high stakes football. They hedge everything, always plotting success just over the horizon, a Xanadu that never arrives.

Nothing we can do about it, of course. But with different ownership, we would be an entirely different beast.
Absolutely spot on.

Unfortunately, for the all the mockery that came their way, Chelsea as a club have come out the other side of their biggest crisis in the premier league era and already shown why they will always be a bigger club than us for as long as Levy is involved.

We aren’t cursed, Levy and ENIC are our curse. Until we shake them off, it’s always going to be like this.
 
It just needs completely new ownership.

A group of individuals that come in and entirely change the expectations of the club. We buy a different calibre of player. We pay the requisite agent fees. We cut those that don’t make the grade. We assemble the best coaches in World football. We demand success.

No single man can change the direction of travel.
I think you're right, but you can't blame how shit we are under Ange on spending. We're far underperforming the level of the squad.
 
So the only silver lining today is that I listed my ticket on exhange yesterday never thinking it would sell, then someone bought it at ten past midnight last night (can only assume they had just arrived home pissed up).

So £84 in the bank for me and saved a few quid getting there and back to watch that shower of shite, and also now don't have a 2 hour journey home. Yay!



Though I did buy my Elfsborg ticket this Morning, so that will no doubt teach me..
Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. You owe that poor sod an apology.
 
I dunno, I'm pretty much out of here.

I hate seeing Spurs fans at each others throats. I hate the "I called it" mob. I hate our team at the moment. Everything about them.

I hate the fucking lot of it.

I'll probably be sucked back in next week, like always, but for now I'm going back to writing my best-selling novel.
Do hate the mindless followers of kant. If your house is on fire staying positive is a very flawed strategy. Enjoy your sabbatical, let's hope we have hired someone who understands this game to a higher level than Ange Postecoglou before you return, because positivity won't make this work.
 
We are so owned by that cnut club it's untrue.

Some real fcuking sh!t must have been committed in yesteryear.

I swear they could play kids and we would still lose.

Either way fcuk every single blade of grass that stain of a club cover.

I will never applaud anything they do.
 
Listening to former Swedish national team coach Lars Lagerback(whom I respect very much) on Swedish TV.

He says he can't really get a grip on our club, Winning against anybody and losing to anybody. And says we are missing a spine in the team, and has no characters who can get things going!

He´s not wrong!

Going 2-0 up, brain farts on the pitch, missed chances, Fraser keeping us in it at times, three injuries in the game where players have had to go off, two stupid penalties and so on. But this wide open play that simply allows the opposition to just come at us time and time again is soul destroying. That cannot go on.
