Sorry to the USA born folk on here, but I do find it mildly hilarious that a pair of Americans have bought a reasonably stable club, sacked their young manager, stuck the US equivalent of Steve McClaren in charge (worse, actually), and have turned the club to utter pants in all of 6 months.

:myword:
 

"I want to help the club achieve things, win trophies and get in the Champions League, but when you feel like you are working hard, training hard and being professional, and then for some reason you are not playing, it is difficult," Defoe told Sky Sports News.

"It is frustrating. At the end of the day I am ambitious. I want to play in every game and score goals, especially when you score goals for a fantastic club like Tottenham. I have always been like that from the first day I walked through the door and I truly believe that if I am playing games I will score goals. I think my record shows that.

"It has been really, really hard to be honest. Players come and go, that is just football and it is out of my hands."

The 28-year-old insisted he remains committed to Tottenham, but admitted he may have to reconsider his future if he cannot get back in the team. "If you speak to any of the players and the fans, they will tell you that I am committed to the club," he said. "I love the club and I still get the same buzz that I did when I first walked out at White Hart Lane, which is important.

"But for me the main thing is playing football and if I am not playing football then I am not happy, because I love my football."



Absolutely nothing wrong in that for me. Did an interview and told the truth while giving his utmost respect to the club. Better than questioning tactics, the manager and the direction of the club.

I dont see it as whining, but some might. Cant please everyone I suppose.
 
I think that whole unbeaten run was causing us too much pressure, one loss and suddenly we look free.

I know it was only Swansea and they've been shite this season, but a win like that is great for confidence.
 
It's stating that people often call us pessimistic pricks who only post because we lose.

Then we win 5-0 and people hint there's so few posts because there's no "melting, pessimistic cunts" in the thread.

Expect there is, supposedly. So

Maybe the forum isn't just about you?....

Anyway, a much needed comfortable win.

Sissoko looked so scared of the ball apart from his assist, can everyone just get off his back? The scapegoating is pathetic and completely counterproductive - Eriksen also suffering from it.
 
Take Alli. He's been quite poor too this season, wasn't even too good against Swansea, but rarely gets a quip from anyone.

Not sure how you can say Ali was poor yesterday? Granted the penalty was a bit dubious but I think this was only given as the ref knew he messed up with the Kung fu kick on walker.... but to say he wasn't very good? Did you watch the full match or just highlights?
 
Siggy always felt like a player that we didn't ever use properly. Didn't feel good about us letting him go, but the issue is that to get the best out of him you'd have to essentially build your team around him (like Swansea have), and that was never a realistic option for us

Agree. Be lovely to have him now though. Imagine having a free-kick edge of the box and you just KNOW it's going to hit the net instead of hitting Bob in the Park Lane.
