Match Tottenham vs Forest Monday 21 April 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

People be posting shit about xG, Possesion stats and all that shit again proving me right that those stats mean FUKK ALL in a game of football.

All that matters is a Win, a Loss or a Draw...
Some of us have been banging that drum since all this nonsense raised its ugly head. Up there with VAR and half and half scarves why the modern game is the pits. Just my opinion.
 
50 years ago -2days i saw my 1st game at WHL.Season ticket holder since 87-88.
I don't reconise my club anymore.
Big match Revisted this week-end was Liverpool away 1985.Players playing for the shirt putting their bodies on the line.
Where are our so called leaders.
Forest tonight were a team with a plan and we were a bunch of individuals.
I will not be renewing my season ticket Danny and Donna.Coys
 
But look at the team he made at Forest -
It was like looking at Mourinho's, Nuno's and Conte's Spurs teams. Utterly eye wateringly shit football to watch. The equivalent of a proud fighter who trades blows and fights to win, and the sneak thief shithouse with a knife who stabs you in the back and acts like he punched you to the ground.
If all we crave as a fan base is to win at any cost, then we have sold the soul of our club.

I want us to win, I really do. But I want to be proud of the way we win. Not to shuffle away, mildly embarrassed, as if we were clapping someone who just mugged someone in an alley
Get where you're coming from, but it's so bad at the moment, that I just want to win some games, as all these losses are draining, both for the players and for the supporters.
 
I'm seeing a lot of people here who went rethinking their season ticket renewal...I understand...

Y'all know I'm done with mine, I can't watch that shit in person anymore & I know it's not you're throwing your toys out of the pram it's that Spurs' Level of football is soo fukkin dire it's like pissing money down the drain for me.

Before I decided not to renew mine I had a long talk with all my football & non-football friends/family does the cost warrant witnessing this utter drivel in person? Do I go to all the matches it covers? Do I even care?

I'm saying think hard about it - I cannot face another season of being a 'hard core' fan anymore I'll go to games now & again but these last two seasons (I wonder what the common theme is???) have been the biggest drag on my monetary support for this club - the only reason I bought a current Kit was because of a bet I won because I went to the game & said Vs Man U while I was DIRECTLY behind the Goal :-

'If Sonny scores this Olympico for the win I'll buy the bastards shirt'

he scored now I have the ELITE one yknow with all the badges n shit plus they were 40% off...this club aint getting a fukkin penny out of me till I see actual progress...I even went to some of the pandemic games ffs...

Paycheck over pride. Levy's instilled a poor mentality and low expectations in this club masked by hollow slogans and PR. More concerned about the executives and catering to the half-and-half tourists than honouring the club's football pedigree.

Prem football has also become passionless entertainment, which hardly helps. So many shades of grey. No surprise so many are flocking to lower league games where it feels like community still exists.

(This is how I perceive it from being outside England, btw)
 
100%.

I'll take the trophy win and a disappointing season but it would still be a shit decision to keep him on. We're seeing what he's actually got against our actual peers weekly.

Beating teams in the Europa League when you've prioritised the Europa League is not a fucking achievement.
Exactly and the quality of the oppo has been poor. It’s not as if we have been tearing it up in the Europa either. For the most part we have played poorly. I remember the first two games where literally could have been spanked given the number great chances we gave away.
 
So we are in the place where a manager can stand up post game and say he planned to pull his Centre Backs at half time, irrespective of the situation, because he wanted to get some minutes into their legs.

And we pay for this shit ?

This is up there with the con trick of half the youth team being claimed to be first team squad members, when they should be in the under 23’s.

It’s horseshit of the highest order.

Romero has been to Argentina and back just last month. What’s he need minutes in his legs for ?

As for VDV. Guy can’t head the fucking ball and I am seriously confused as to why that’s not being discussed more. Danso is a better defender overall. And it gives me no joy typing that.

I can head a ball thank you :)

But yes 100% this post!!!

Two more losses & this will be breaking Spurs Most Losses Record of All Time in The League...

Ange Post Match

"It's a game we should never lose, another we have let slip," the Australian said.

"I don't think we deserved to lose that game. We had enough chances and our football was good.

"That has been our problem all year. It is not about our football but about maintaining focus and concentration throughout the whole game.


"There are too many games this year where we have lost in that manner and that is why we are
