Topic: Spurs: fucking useless

[Drinks Sangria]

I didn’t realise that Ndombele and Lo Celso were ever coming back. I had in my head that the Ndombele loan was a year after which Lyon could buy him at a knockdown fee, though it looks like that was a fiction, it was €65m they would’ve had to pay. No wonder he’s back at Spurs.

Lo Celso reportedly wants to stay playing for Villarreal but because Spurs have priced him at £30m, they will have trouble shifting him to most teams on the continent. Looked a good player in Europe last season.

Conte on Tottenham signing Spence: ‘The club decided to buy him’
https://theathletic.com/news/conte-tottenham-signing-spence/SJzeIDOcKzvt/

Started already

[afc tukrish]

It's already been noted, but "a snide little Playmobil haired gimp" ranks awfully high on the pointed barb list...

[Yorkykopite]

I haven't really been following the transfer window movements outside our own club, but had a little check today. Tottenham's acquisitions seem very odd to me. It looks like they are purposefully setting out to buy a team that could comfortably reach 8th or 9th spot. I suppose, so long as Son and Kane remain they will do better than that. But not by much.

[jillcwhomever]

It's all going to blow up, always does with Conte in the end.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Sir Lord Harry of Kaneshire did score two good goals in their friendly yesterday to be fair, however Rangers made their defence look awful in the first half, they should have been about 3 up at least by half time.

[DonkeyWan]

Amazed at how bolshie Spurs fans are getting. 21 points behind Liverpool they finished, and they are now saying they will finish second this season and possibly win the title. That was on the radio too (Martin Lipton). Richarlison got 11 goals last season adn they are trumpeting him as the second coming of Jesus. Meanwhile the actual Jesus got 13 last season and has moved to their rivals. Add to the striker from a relegation threatened side they added a BHA defender and a Championship player, how is that going to make up the 21 point difference and 39 goal difference?

Jesus only got 8 league goals so to be fair it's not a daft comparison.

[Dim Glas]

Not saying they’ll challenge, but no excuses not to do well this season, and I’d expect them to bar a Conte meltdown.

Bissouma should improve their midfield considerably, Perisic for the short term should be good for them. Richarlison is a dick, but he’ll add even more snide to their already snidey team, and with Son and Kane there, they already have one of the very best attacking duo’s in the league.

They’ll be horrible to play against.  Took ‘em a while to get going under Conte, but finished the last 2 or 3 months strongly.

If they don’t challenge for the title Conte should be sacked. They’ve got all their best players at their peak and spent big.

I'd be surprised if Richarlison is even a regular starter to be honest. Kulusevkski has been fantastic since joining in January. I'd expect him, Son and Kane to be the regular front 3 this season. 

And I don't think many Spurs fans are talking about winning the title. I think 3rd is a realistic target though. Chelsea look a little vulnerable.

Was at their stadium tonight for a gig …best stadium I have ever visited. Brilliant music venue as well with great food and facilities.

Arsenal also spent big last summer, and this one, so will you accept the same for Arteta. Challenge for the title or get sacked?

You can't give players being young as an excuse.

Arsenal are further behind than Spurs at present.

Why not , this Arsenal team  will get better and peak in 2026.
This Spurs team will get worse and peaks this season, I wouldn’t sack Conte if they don’t challenge for the title next season, but this season it’s a must, they won’t get close again it’s now or never. 
If they don’t challenge then at least top 4 and a trophy. They haven’t won’t anything for 15 years so they need to deliver.

[PoetryInMotion]

True, but I was pointing out that Arsenal have spent as well, when The North Bank was talking about Spurs' spending and therefore concluded that they must compete for the title.

It was more to do with where Kane and Son are in their careers, not just the financial backing.  Newcastle have spent 200m since Christmas I’m not expecting them to challenge for the title.

Romero is a proper dickhead, isn't he.





I know Maguire and James aren't RAWK favourites, but you should have a slither of empathy for your fellow players and not scream in their faces after your team has scored against them.

Twat.

[The North Bank]

He gets away with it every game, that should’ve been red yesterday, and he got  away with a shocking tackle against Southampton.

Anyway, I’m not interested in teams below us in the table.

[thaddeus]

MotD2 tried to make out that Richarlison was the catalyst for the Spurs comeback then went on to show a highlights reel of him chasing around and blocking a clearance for a throw-in.  That him being on the pitch split up the best strike pairing of last season and relegated Son to left midfield wasn't mentioned (Son being on the left was also the cause of James's goal and the sitter that Havertz missed).

Conte will drag some results out of them for sure but I think they're behind Arsenal in that chase for top four.  I guess it depends on how fragile the Arsenal mentality is.

Lump on Spurs then!

[The North Bank]

Joking aside , the referee was an absolute disaster. I’d be going mental if I was a Chelsea fan, he didn’t even book any Spurs players. Spurs really got away with it yesterday .

They are a very irritating side to watch but a draw was the best result from our (and your?) perspective so I wasn’t too unhappy. Mouthy, cheating pricks everywhere you look though. And then they add Richarlison.

I always want Spurs to lose, but Chelsea looked the far better team yesterday so them starting with 100% record may have got them on a roll. Good result in the end.

that's how I saw it.  I hate both those teams but that was disgraceful "refereeing".

[Dave McCoy]

Romero definitely has some weird ref ju-jitsu going where he is extremely aggressive and violent while playing but is never carded.

[stoopid yank]

They are a very irritating side to watch

Irritating? They have become the Atletico Madrid of England. "Atletico Norte de Londres. "Can't see how that is good for the league or the sport. Absolutely dumbfounded the ref and then the authorities that be don't punish their antics, let alone the hair pulling.

[4pool]

Has Dermot chimed in on the hair pulling yet? Has the PGMOL text him on what to say, yet?

Well if anybody knows what it’s like to have their hair pulled it’s Dermot.

interviewer to Kane: “250 goals now for spurs, can you put that into words?” as insults go that’s a stiletto through the ribcage…

  Yeah,obviously.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Unfortunately they have the best #9 in the league and that will help them to finish in top4

[The North Bank]

These lot were shite again last night. Hanging on at the end. It’s amazing how bad their football is with the quality and depth they have. If I was a Spurs fan, or Dave McCoy , I’d be asking some serious questions about the ambition of the manager. There used to be the Spurs way, play good football regardless, now they’ve gone full Stoke, Antonio Pulis, it’s killing Son’s game, and 60m Richarlison has done very little, apart from those keepy uppies
