The only embarrassing thing here is your childish melting. Do you expect us to win every single game?The last four games completely killed the season for me, utter shambles. The players should be embarrassed, bottling cunts all of them. Poch included.
But they won't be like previous competition purchased; Chiriches, Capoue, Stambouli etc. They'll be genuinely hungry talents that push those in the first team to perform or be dropped. I have faith in Poch.I wouldn't be surprised if we bought 5-6 first teamers in the summer to build real competition after this and moved out the weaker players. It could speed up our development as a team.
I can't even bring myself to read it to be honest. I assume the worst...reading the OMT yesterday was embarrassing.
Walker has been quality. Verts has been part of the best defence in the league this season. Davies as good a backup to Rose as you could expect. Son needs another season under his belt, and more first team football. He'll come good. Calling to get rid of Eriksen is just madness. 2nd top assister and most chances created in the league this season (I think) - and you want rid because of a couple of games? Knee-jerk doesn't even begin to explain it...The way I feel now in addition to Mason, Fazio, Bentelab id get rid of Walker, Verts, Chadli, Davies, Carroll(despite supporting him earlier), Vorm, Son (if he chooses the Olympics) and even Eriksen as I don't like bottlers who go missing when things get tough!
I didn't see the game yesterday (thank God) but the implosion has been grim viewing. Since Stoke we have looked a totally different team.You're not stating anything we don't know. But it doesn't change the pain of the implosion.
Lets get some perspective here, lads.
As one of our own said yesterday, we need to look at the bigger picture. Yes, it's a poisoned knife to the heart to be pipped by our neanderthal neighbours for the nth time too many, but lets try and rejoice in one simple fact that they cannot take away from us:
Spurs just finished 3rd in the Premier League. Lads, it's Tottenham, who just finished 3rd in the Premier League. And, barring the last month, looked bloody exciting doing it.
Would you have taken that at the start of the season? Absolutely
Did you think we'd be in a genuine title challenge if you'd been asked a few years ago? Absolutely not
Can we challenge again for major honours with a couple of quality additions to the squad? Absolutely
Can we offer Champions League football and working under one of the most exciting young managers in football? Absolutely
Do we have a solid foundation of management, coaching, facilities and a world class new stadium on the way? Abso-fucking-lutely
This team is so young and has so much more to learn and grow. If this team, youngest in the Premier League, can finish 3rd...no sky is the limit.
Fuck Woolwich. They've been dealt a huge bucket of paste and wallpaper on offer at B&Q to paper over some pretty massive cracks by finishing above us. Let them keep the expert in failure. Cue #WengerOut next March, as per fucking usual. They are right to fear us. We might have our day in the sun, we might not. Just be thankful you're not one of the legion of gooners who claim North London "has always been red". Know your checkered history. It's all on Wikipedia, you clowns.
Fuck Chelsea. What more need be said about that billionaire fuelled empty husk of a football club. Their esteemed (foul-mouthed, disabled bay using, racist) captain felt the need to dig at us for not winning the league, despite his own club mounting the most pathetic defence of a Premier League title in history. And their fans applauded it. Oh to be so blind...
Chins up, lads. We support Tottenham Hotspur, and we love the shirt.
Apologies if posted elsewhere but this cracked me up
Spurs carry out controlled implosion of season
I've already seen 21 consecutive seasons those... (and I've been around a LOT longer!)
Enough-is-a-fucking-nough now don't you think? ?
