Value your thoroughness but you really undermine the issues our club have faced in a time where we have to really grind it out for the greater good.
No home advantage
No pre-season for the majority of our first XI
Ten important players missing at key moments so early in the season already - Lloris and Vorm - at the same time it needs to be said, Aurier, Rose, Vertonghen, Wanyama, Dembele, Dele, Eriksen, Lamela has missed a couple and is in form & Son, let alone the lack of form from key players when they have been fit and available.
No transfers during the summer
And did I mention we still have no home advantage and experienced a very deflating moment when we were told our return home was further delayed?
We cannot judge until we are back at Spurs, back in the rhythm, back to feeling like we have a place to generate such a swagger and with the lack of ins & outs, stadium disillusion, tweaks and knocks and nowhere to stamp your home turf mark it really has been a boost in the arm and all the fans should see it like that, even if we know the football hasn't been champagne football like we experience 12-24 months ago.
With all of these things well and truly in play for us recently results have been the only thing that has mattered and that's what we have mustered.
We all love Spurs, we want to see them do well and do it in style but at the moment it's purely about keeping with the pack, pure grit and grinding is all that's required until we get all things settled and smoothly moving along, possibly for another month or two in my opinion dude
Brilliant post. Good to see the majority know what it’s about.
Still a fair few morons of the opinion “if we won every game we’d be top” floating around.
The sort of people who think it’s the end of the world because we’ve been disjointed but winning......while the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, City and Utd have surpassed us....hmmmm.
As far as I’m aware, City Chelsea and Pool have been playing at peak levels. Yet here we are level with one and just two points of the others. So what about a little optimism for when we click then?
As you point out, just so many injuries.
Right now playing without Dele and Eriksen, but apparently our squad isn’t good enough despite, again, sitting just two points behind the in form teams and level with the other.
So what gives?
The reserves should be playing like Brazil 70? Grinding out wins is only good enough for Klopp? Or a gritty City?
We lost two games and it was meltdown.
Now 1-0 wins are beneath us.
I watched the game again today, minus the stress. We were excellent. There’s good things to come, the squad getting fitter, and sharper, and far from shitting my pants over the next 22 days fixture list I can’t wait.
It’s always nice to make a post after beating the wankers that are West Ham, it’s becoming as satisfying as beating the goons recently.
But having said that, I enjoy my life as a Spurs fan so much more when not invested in this place, where optimism comes to die.
“I’d take a scratchy 1-0 win.......but we didn’t win 4-0 so I’m livid”
You really learn to fall back in love with it all when you’re not constantly exposed to the opinions of negative Spurs fans all the time.
Special shout out to KingDawson......would you still rather have Fabregas than Winks?
Not so funny now is it. Too many can’t see past their own noses (or Ndombeles cock hehe). That’s why you get awful shit posted like the OP in this thread.
Back the squad, watch the games, and dare I say, try enjoy supporting your fucking team once in a while.
Or just continue sounding like a failed writer who lacks knowledge of the sport, I really don’t care.
Keep up the good work all you true lot

but the point is these are the players Pochettino has to pick from. We have to do with them until January at the least. I know we have our favorites and our not so likeable players but it becomes an agenda when we can't acknowledge someone having a good game without adding an irrelevant caveat. Take that to the player threads and keep the rating threads about the game in discussion. Sissoko could perform a Zidane vs Brazil performance and he'd still get no more than a 6.5 from many because he's Sissoko.
