Topic: Spurs: fucking useless

[RedSince86]

Genuinely think these will be bouncing around mid-table for the foreseeable. Not much to be positive about there.

Saudi FC replacing them in the "Sky Six".

Won't happen and won't happen.

I will believe you, once you give us the winning lottery numbers ...

That would be an easy task if the same numbers kept on repeating.

Good thing Spurs have a great track record of becoming overly-reliant on a British talent, selling said talent, and then spending the profits wisely on a rebuild!

One of them is Eriksen, the other is someone Bobby nutmegged in the Europa semi (Soldado?). I genuinely have no idea who the rest are.

Paulinho, Eriksen, Soldado, Chadli, Capoue(?), Chiraces(?), Lamela

Its funny to think how Paulinho and Capoue were deemed not good enough, let go of and went on to win trophies as starters in Barca and Villareal respectively.

[The North Bank]

They should fuck chelsea over and nab lamps.

"Lamps" with Captain Bellend as his assistant, they'd be relegated by Halloween.

Genuinely think these will be bouncing around mid-table for the foreseeable. Not much to be positive about there.

Pochettino carried them for a few years with a limited budget. Modric and Bale carried them under Redknapp. Kane and Son have carried them the last couple of years at least, mainly Kane this year.

Without Kane they'd be bottom half with Chelsea this season and it looks like he's going. They haven't got the smarts in the transfer market to invest the Kane money well and managers they want are turning them down. These shouldn't be much to worry about for a while.

All they've got going for them is the stadium and the revenues it generates but like when Arsenal moved they still have to pay for it.

[SamLad]

Mourinho took a swipe at them the other day, saying he had a good relationship with every team he's managed except Spurs.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Spurs are like a minor ailment you have, it's there, but has no real significance to your life.

This cheesy spurs thread with its capoue sideburns and fish slapped lamella face is a slot to ask of a man.

Spoke to a spurs ST holder...seemed a decent lad

Got to talking about managers and he said guardiola was 100x the manager klopp was, which I obviously disagreed with while admitting he was a v.good manager

I told him guardiola has never had to build a title winning team with limited funds like klopp had to taking over a mediocre team, then proceed to win it all btw, though guardiola may probably be one of the best at managing elite players.

He tried to say man city weren't great when guardiola took over, I begged to differ especially in comparison to the liverpool side klopp took charge of. Then tried to tell me barca in his first season weren't the best...but if I recall they weren't exactly in that bad a position!
But then admitted he just hated klopp because of statements he's said and how he's contradicted himself in media.

I did try to tell him that every manager pretty much does that, and things klopp does seem to be laughed off with others.

But point here is....not sure if it was just him, a general "liverpool bad" thing but I didn't think spurs fans had a particular issue with us or klopp. Might be wrong!
I know there was some sort of thing when we were both going for top 4 a while back but no real hatred

[A Red Abroad]

For years and years, I used to forget Spurs were even in the 'first division' until we played them. In fairness, there were a couple of clubs that applied to.

Spurs hate everyone, including themselves. The only saving grace is that everyone hates them back.

Nope! See below...

I think you'll find most Reds don't hate them... or even consider them as rivals.

As above, for most of my lifetime, they've been irrelevant.

which is why most fans of other clubs couldn't care less if Everton get flushed or not.

Everton have won stuff though. They've been Champions in four or five different decades. Tottenham are all window-dressing, always have been.

OK but don't know why you're mentioning it.  most fans don't give a shit about Ev's history, or anything else about them.

it’s the issue most fanbases have with him, he’s the perfect manager for any (non Sportswash) team, and they didn’t get him - BECAUSE he builds, because he stays at a club for a lot longer than most managers, because he becomes emotionally imvested, because he coaches good football.

The tune changed in attitudes to Klopp around early June 2019. You can guess why.

Before that he was (almost) universally loved, a charismatic, funny, engaging bloke, who coached incredible football, who took a team in BVB with this vibrant fanbase, that where no threat to anyone, to success many thought was impossble to achieve, and so became the 2nd team of so many.

Despite that success he was seen as a bit of a ‘unlucky loser’ because his BVB team lost too many of the stars he’d helped make, and couldn’t compete financially with other CL clubs.  And then he came ot Liverpool, with that amazing chairsma and fun football, and lost a couple finals. So he was still the lovable loser. Until he wasn’t.

And since then attitudes changed. It must be doubly hard for Spurs fans, as they thought this was to be their journey under Pochetinno, but it wasn’t, and of course it was that CL final vs them that was the 1st trophy the ‘lovable loser’ won here.

[Yorkykopite]

OK but don't know why you're mentioning it.  most fans don't give a shit about their history, or anything else about them.

I do. I like football history. Ours and other people's. It's an important part of the game for me. Probably that's why I mentioned it.

[Red Beret]

The thing about Jurgen is that when he first came to us, because he was such a popular manager for his work at BVB, people didn't want to "hate" him. There was an extended honeymoon period for Jurgen - one Rafa didn't get - where people liked Klopp but still hated Liverpool. To an extent, he suited the plucky underdog tag we had been saddled with.

But once he started winning, and the compliments had to come through gritted teeth, that's when things changed. And once things started to go south - first in 20-21 and now this season, the knives have definitely come out for him, especially in the media. They want him gone, and they want LFC back in their box.

Ironic, as once City have won seven titles in a row - and the traditional "big" PL era clubs, like Arsenal, United and Chelsea, can't get anywhere near them - then things might actually start shifting. As the boredom sets in, and City mechanically go through the motions of winning title after title, treble after treble, they'll soon be wishing there was somebody able to challenge their dominance.

It will still be "anybody but Liverpool" though.

Have to say, Kane getting 30 league goals is incredible, in this shit spurs side, arguably far more impressive than 36 goals haaland. Interestingly enough, they still havent bought Kulusevski outright, hes still on loan from Juventus and will cost 30m. If they decide they cant afford him due to lack of any european football, then for that money hes good value for one of the better teams.

He's an excellent footballer, but very very difficult to like for his cheating and repeated attempts to cause another player a severe spinal injury.

Looks like Postecoglou is the one they want. Would be happy enough that he’d pose no danger. Jury is still very much out on him, he’s coached in bum leagues and qualifying for a World Cup in Asia is no achievement.

It is. I like the look of him myself though. At the very least he'll make them exciting. The football that Celtic play is some of the most entertaining football I've seen in a long time. Loads of people here are huge Celtic fans and they say his football is the best they've seen there.
