Had to be at my pickup point at 7.30 this morning for this one. I've never had such little enthusiasm for a game and for the first time I'm questioning why the fuck I bother.

I honestly don't know if I can keep this financial and physical commitment next season.

Narratives are dead now imo. They can only destabilize or offer excuses.

Now the only thing that matters is results. The Bournemouth result means nothing this season really. AZ means everything.

We need a win against Bournemouth for some positive energy going in to AZ but ultimately the only thing matters is winning against AZ
Exactly & I completely agree - this is why I'm not going today I really cannot be fukked watching Bournemouth.

I'm glad it's an early game so I can have some lunch at home watch the match & get on with my day without having to trudge through Seven Sisters.

the AZ game is El Sickico for me if we're out I'm fully Ange out.

Same mate - I gave this one a pass & I only live an hour away from the stadium on public transport.

After this season I'm honestly re-thinking about renewing my ST.

Have fun though! The players owe you & any fan there a good performance.

Don’t see the point watching Bournemouth today either.

Tbh I’m running out of reasons to watch football at all. The type of football every team is trending towards is now some kind of ultra transitional hybrid of Pulis and Jose ball with athletic robots in every position.

It’s just uninspiring and unwatchable for 99% of games and on top of that we are shit anyway and only exist for internet banter for the big broadcasters and publishers.

I absolutely agree, although being in Australia it's a commitment of rest (or lack thereof) more than anything. Most matches are scheduled from 1am-4am... leading into a Monday morning, it's an awful way to start the week watching our shapeless capitulations.

Respect to you and all who make the journey/s to support the team. This is the worst I've felt about our football in 20 odd years.

Agreed - the PL this season has been, in my opinion, the least entertaining it has been in years & I watch 80% of the games on matchday so I'm not just talking about Spurs. I can't remember more than about 5-6 games that were 'Amazing' ok some big 'wins' yes but there's no tech in the PL, dribbling doesn't really exist anymore, I don't think I've seen more than 5-6 quality 'runs' or 'breakouts'. I'm sick to death of seeing the following phases in teamplay :-

  1. Play from the back wth lateral passing waiting for the opposition to become out of position
  2. Short passing into the midfield while being pressed waiting for your players to create space
  3. Medium ball or tikka takka to a winger only approaching from the wings or losing the ball then a counter from the opposition
  4. Winger takes it & crosses into the box whether step 3 is in possession by either side
  5. Striker tries to score
This is why I watch other Leagues mah dude

Absolute respect to you and the other loyalists.

You deserve so much better.

The enthusiasm bit is echoed by many I suspect.

Agree. The PL has somehow evolved to a point where teams that win don’t need to have any elite passers, elite dribblers or elite shooters from distance.

Every goal is high xG and exactly the same as the others.

Cunha might be the only player im seeing playing anything other than analytics, robot ball.
 
I'm just getting ready to leave for the game , I'll be singing loud and proud trying to be the 12th man . We really could do with a win today , so I've got everything crossed and my lucky pants on . See you on the other side and up the spurs .

COYS...&...TTID.............CSWY
 
Morning Yiddos!!

It's a FINE, BRIGHT SUNDAY in London.

The Sun is shining, off to the ground in a bit... The joyous walk up the High road, sampling the sights, sounds, smells and taste of a matchday...

Treading the time honoured, well worn steps of our forefathers...
Walking the same street they did over a Century ago...

We are STEEPED in History, and Tradition.

Regardless of the status of the individual game, the opposition, or our own great club, it's STILL a Match day at Tottenham Hotspur's World Famous White Hart Lane (naming rights tbc!).

REMEMBER where we all were 5 years ago, suddenly deprived the routine of a match going experience, the escape, the excitement, the blind optimistic joy that brought EACH AND EVERY PRE-MATCH??
It made us appreciate the mundane, the normal, the RITUAL.

THAT should NEVER be forgotten and we should cherish it always...

Come ON you SPURS!!!

We are Tottenham, super Tottenham, from the Lane!
Post match Edit:
0-0 ENIC/LEVY/ANGE OUT!

Angeball to serve up more dross, although there needs to be a reaction so I wouldn't be surprised to see a good result considering we're playing for nothing.

Maddison to be dropped to the bench is my prediction, after his recent touchline convo with Sonny slating Postecoglou shouting "play" as his only instruction.

Drop Maddison for being honest about Ange? Nah fuck that.

He needs to start. We literally have 0% creativity without him.
