I don't get the logic of resting players for a champions league game in order to play a Premier league game where our realistic goal is to get into the Champions league.
Because as soon as we get into it everyone says we won’t win it and should concentrate on the league in order to make sure we get into it again next year.
 
This is what happens when people experience their football through memes. Its beyond boring and unfortunately infects everywhere there is football discussion online, hence us retreating to tfc
TFC - A place of safety.

Price isn't so much of a problem as the 'members only' policy is......

One-off purchasers that often take up the slack for cup games aren't allowed in.
Most of them have friends that can buy using a ST or membership and screenshot the ticket?

Got to make use of the squad and utilise it. I would hardly call it going weaker by drafting Bissouma in would you? Struggled a little in the Westham game, but 2nd half he was slowly getting there. Need to rotate a little dude and not burn everyone out.

Agree we should play the same 11 every week. Leave Richarlson on the bench until December, until Kane does a hamstring. That will motivate the Brazilian ahead of the WC. I don’t even know why we both name subs, should just have a bare 11 like in the good old days when men were men.

A Tottenham fan commented: 'We don't help ourselves do we,' while another Twitter user wrote: 'Cowards should have kept it up'.

The post came just days after Antonio Conte's Champions League record was called into question.

Conte has featured in the Champions League five times - having guided Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan through their respective European campaigns.

He failed to make it out of the group on three occasions and was eliminated from the competition in the knockout stages twice.

Another said the memes 'write themselves' for Tottenham after making this mistake before

Conte will be eager to hit the ground running with Tottenham as he looks to end their quest for European glory.

Tottenham are set to visit Marseille for their Champions League clash on Wednesday evening.

Conte will be looking to maintain his unbeaten start to the 2022-2023 Premier League season by kicking off their Group D campaign with a win.
Is this what constitutes journalism now? Twitter quotes? Amazed this type of tabloid hasn't died a death.

Why even bother posting this shit?
 
Why even bother posting this shit?
It's all about clicks, isn't it? I'm wholly uninformed, but I think including links to other SM posts improves SEO? This type of "article" is widely used these days.

It definitely engages an audience that doesn't actually want to read even short form journalism anymore. All anyone wants is a tweeted headline they can use to spout their own opinion/joke and/or get into a Twitter argument over.


Edit: Also, we definitely should have left it up. The cover up is always worse than the crime. Now everyone gets to make their bottle job jokes and laugh about us as runners for taking it down. Inept day in the marketing department all around. The internet is forever, why people ever take posts down (unless they're offensive), I'll never know. It's still out there in the ether.

You clicked "agree" on a reply to my post that said, "Why even bother posting this shit?" Yet now you are making an in-depth analysis about something you agreed was a "shit" topic and unnecessary to post :cool:
Why do you then bother to make a comment on a post that I should not have bothered to post coz it was shit?
