Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The only thing that will stop all this nonsense is if we win the league. Even then, it may not be enough.
Things will change when we move to our new stadium. We will be able to afford more wages.
Nothing will stop it. The problem is the people themselves. Until you have pro-Spurs people in pundit and broadcast positions, you will have us always facing the same narrative.
 
Gotta say... Roy Keane' s comment about ArseAnal last night:
:dembelelol::allitongue::eriksenlol::levylol::pochlol::sonlol::vert::wanyama:

Always KNEW He was Spurs... even if the tv companies told him not to be... to suit their narrative!

Now we're any good... his true colours are coming out... and there's not fuck all Lee Dixon, Ian Wright, Martin Keown, Nigel Winterburn or Paul Merson can do about it! Fuck the over-opinionated, self-entitled Gooner voices in the media... TOTTENHAM are shouting loudest right now! So Fuck the lot of ya's!

What did he say about the scum?
 
What did he say about the scum?
This basically:
He said Tottenham are rock solid and have arrived in the champions league. He then said most of the premier league is better than Woolwich when Dixon said Spurs are better. Finally when Dixon said Spurs are better than Woolwich Keane butted in and said miles better than Woolwich.

Basically said we are a proper football team....and they are useless.
It's like he's been waiting his whole career to lay into them (and praise us)... and now they're shit (and we're good) enough for him to get his chance!
 
Jealous Woolwich fans may say otherwise but Spurs have shown they belong in the Champions League
Tottenham’s towering performance at Real Madrid was a milestone for Mauricio Pochettino’s young side

Anyone who tells you that it was only a point will not understand.

Anyone who tells you that it was only a group match doesn’t get it

Rival fans who claim the praise is over the top might just be a tiny bit jealous.

Tottenham’s towering performance at Real Madrid was a milestone for Mauricio Pochettino’s young side.

It was the statement display to suggest they could yet be regulars at the top level of European football.

As Woolwich’s Gold Card for the Champions League expires, Tottenham’s is being readied. They now look to be north London’s representatives for the future.

The key word is consistency. This isn’t the first time that Spurs under Pochettino have pulled off a top result. Theirs was the best defence in the Premier League last season, remember.

Over the past 12 months they have beaten Manchester City without Harry Kane. They ended Chelsea’s record-equalling 13-match unbeaten run in the Premier League and they saw off Manchester United in May.

This, at the Bernabeu, was even better. Yes, Real were without Gareth Bale. Spurs were without Dele Alli, Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama.

Danny Rose only came into the game as a substitute in the last ten minutes for his first appearance since January.

Harry Winks, alongside Eric Dier, looked set to be passed to death up against a midfield of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Isco. Genuine high-class ballers.

The Hemel Hempstead Iniesta came out with so much credit you wonder how he could possibly be dropped for Liverpool on Sunday.

Moussa Sissoko finally justified his massive outlay and the decision to keep faith in him. Young Davinson Sanchez was outstanding as a part of a Spurs defence.

On more than one occasion before Pochettino’s arrival, Hugo Lloris has suggested he could leave for a club better equipped to compete at the very top. He now has that club in Spurs. His incredible saves on Tuesday were pivotal to the point that leave them on course for the knockout stages.

One critic suggested to me that it came against a Real side whose start to the season hasn’t been that great. Really? Look at the numbers: One defeat, to Real Betis last month, two draws and ten wins.

Tottenham are showing a steel that Woolwich no longer have. A character not seen at the other end of the Seven Sisters Road for some time. A promise that suggests they can indeed fulfil their massive potential and their desperate wait for major trophy success.

Nobody is saying that they are going to win the Champions League off the back of Tuesday night’s performance. They still have to address the concerns around the financial futures of Kane, Alli and their other top stars.

What is not in doubt, however, is what that performance in Spain will have done for the squad’s belief.

It will have shown them that they can live with the best. That they can go toe to toe with the cream of Europe. That Pochettino is a coach able to improve them to such an extent that they needn’t have any fear.

It will help too in the title race despite suggestions it is all over bar the shouting with City admittedly sensational.

Last time Spurs were in the Champions League, during the 2010/11 season, they reached the quarter-finals. This team is better. Far more exciting. The ride from here on in will be fascinating.
 
From what i've heard the PR lounge is going to be like a private members club, their own restaurant, bar, casual bar/coffee shop, private desks, interview rooms and all the cheese you can eat. He's Liverpool supporter ain't he?
He is indeed a dyed in the wool red Scouse fan
 
Ashton was a bit salty about Pochettino on Sunday Supplement...has to be seen to be believed.

What used to annoy me greatly now gives me a massive sense of satisfaction.

The Press is going two ways. On one side, you have those who want to be taken seriously, and so there are much more articles giving us credit.
On the other side, there are the bitter cry babies who's triesome "all Spurs players will leave" mantra has started to look like a ridiculous agenda, even among rival fans now.

Where gooner journos belittle Spurs, gooner fans are livid at their own club. They find no joy in bullshit articles about a club that has overtaken them.

Certain oulets will just ignore us, but whats becoming more obvious is that the opinion of certain pundits and journos that we will fail, is no more than baseless, desperate hope, that we will fail.

Even the most bitter Liverpool, Utd or Chelsea fan are starting to see through it.

Thank God I can't get Sky. 24hrs on from the revelations that Harry Kane would like to remain at Spurs all his career, he has written an "EXCLUSIVE" in The Sun today saying that Real Madrid are 100% confident they will land their man Kane this summer. He also scribbles that Barca will sign Dele and Eriksen.

I recall him years ago tearing into us on the radio, not for anything to do with players, or managers, or even how we are playing (good or bad) he based on for a full hour discrediting the clubs honours page on our website. We list every single honour we have won since were were formed, so when we were a non-professional team. For some reason this made us "small time". An hour long show!!!!!

He's the type of jorno that blames a teams loss because the players were wearing gloves.
