It's mandatory self-protective pessimism. Or at least the show of it. Yet we all know they were actually sitting there thinking "we could actually do this, please let it happen for once". They're in denial.Quote:

Oh I did get seriously worried about the league for a while, mainly because despite knowing how Spursy Spurs are, we had no idea whether Leicester would turn out to be Spursy as well when it came to the crunch. Thankfully they didn't.
But we really do make them what they are. They hold on to their "curse" as a badge of honour. Their longsufferingness defines them in their collective self-identity. They hate their board, their owner, their manager, their players, their fans - pretty much everything that's actually tangible about their club. Because only by being so hard put upon can they demonstrate their absolute devotion. I'm surprised the club shop don't stock a hair-shirt replica kit.
I was in the caff yesterday morning and there was a fella at the table next to me with a bright yellow football shirt. On the back up by the collar was a little motif with the words "Echos of Glory". An odd mission statement, I thought, and wondered what team it was. Later as he came back from the loo I saw the badge on the front of a chicken on a basketball.Quote:

We used to talk on here and say we were basically a one man team with Bale, if he didnt perform we didnt. Have we really moved on in anyway with Kane? If he doesn't perform neither do we generally. We can talk about the emergence of Alli and Dembele and the what Alderwiereld has bought to the defence, but Kane is the main man in everything good we do. Have we just spent the last 3 years changing all those players to stand still really. We're hitting the same amout of points, mentally we're still weak, we still don't win anything. I'm sure this will produce a Hazard novella response but I'm not convinced we've moved away from being dependent on one player still. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 08:47AM

Shambolic yesterday and such a deflating end to what should go down as an enjoyable season. Players were a disgrace first half and Poch made 2 changes. Second half we got back in it and at 1-2 v 10 men surely you could only see one outcome. Yes the penalty decision swung it and it was a terrible dive, but I dont understand the change to 3-5-2 when really we had 20+ minutes with 75% of the ball and I'm sure we'd have cracked them. Just went to pieces and played a naive unprofessional immature game and got what we deserved. There are no positives unless you scrape for them. Poch will know (or he should) that under the first xi there isn't much bar Wimmer and the full backs and Son at a push. Mentally we are not quite the same old Tottenham, but it can rear it's ugly head with the simplest of upsets. We're not the soft touch we once were, but we're still fragile. £60m the papers say, if he gets that net I'd be very surprised but I hope he does of course. See you in the CL. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 09:18AM
The only reason we didn't finish second was the fact that our 2 best midfielders got themselves banned from the last few games. Had either played we would have got the point we needed in one of the games. - by Lurking Yid - 05/16/2016 09:24AM
Nonsense. We started collapsing with them in the team, see the west brom game. We collapsed because we have a very small squad bereft of quality beyond the first 11 and the management of that squad in games and especially in training was piss poor. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 09:29AM

Some of us did say earlier on in the season we were walking a tightrope with regard to our discipline. I thought it'd be for picking up too many yellow cards actually, but it just manifested itself in a team lacking discipline in the end. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 09:34AM
I'm sorry but that's *******s. We were playing a side who had already been relegated then who went down to 10 men. We should have managed a point in that game playing the academy side - by Dougal - 05/16/2016 09:26AM
The men at power at Spurs clearly thought that our squad was good enough so we should've beaten them even with Alli and Dembele out(nt) - by Yourconscience - 05/16/2016 09:27AM
I dont see 60m net being enough to be honest mate. The players of the calibre we require are going to start at about 20m and we need at least 3 if not 4. We might get back in about 15 from sales but unless we sell ones we dont want to, cant see a lot more than there. Might get lucky I guess with a surprise a la Alli but by same token, for every one of him there are plently of Stambouli's out there. We need to be shopping at Selfridges not Asda this summer and need to do it before the end of season sale too. I will buy you a stein in Munich. - by MarkP - 05/16/2016 09:23AM
Had Walker stayed on we'd have won, of that I'm sure. They'd caught us on the break several times down that side, and Walker is of course our fastest defender. Obviously he must have been injured but ****ing hell, we only needed a point against 10 men. - by Dougal - 05/16/2016 09:22AM
Unless we're planning to buy yet more players 'for the future' that £60M isnt going to be enough to land the 5 we need of the necessary quality to go in the CL and the league. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 09:22AM

Yes it is. I've really really enjoyed this season. The football has been exhilarating at times and there is something wonderful about watching this team develop. If I'm critical I think we handled the cups badly, the striker situation poorly and the last 2 games have been disappointing. These are things they already know and will address. I'm excited for the summer, for next season, for CL football. I'm worried about the first 4 games with no Moussa. This place sucks. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:08AM

Live by the Banz, die by the Bantz - by JonnieB - 05/16/2016 10:11AM
The stat on the bbc about us and Leicester using the least number of players throughout the season is very significant. Quite simply we don't have the squad to be able to make a push in the league, cups and Europe. Even more so with Poch's high energy style of football. Weren't the Southampton fans saying their team used to tail off at the end of the season as the players were ****ed, mentally and physically? - by Bongoman - 05/16/2016 10:23AM
did you see the motd commentator from our match didnt even mention the dive for the pen, if it wasnt for the fact there was an ex spurs player as a pundit i doubt they would have mentioned it at all - by .TC. - 05/16/2016 10:34AM
Well we lost 5-1 - by Dougal - 05/16/2016 10:56AM
If you're going to play as we do, you need a big squad and proper quality on the bench. I think that Pochettino's methods can work but it's going to require a fair amount of investment. He needs to be able to rotate and for that he needs squad players he can rely on. At the moment we have Son, N'Jie and Chadli who all basically do the same thing, then we have Mason, Carroll and Bentaleb who aren't really very good - by Dougal - 05/16/2016 10:29AM
You're intimating that his methods have not worked this season? nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:31AM
haha, they haven't worked mate? it was a piss weak league that offered us a once in a lifetime opportunity and we limp into third and we had to chuck all three cups to do that? - by Balham - 05/16/2016 10:35AM
Well we disagree then. I'd have taken 3rd at the off. I'd have probably laughed at you if you offered it, but I'd have taken it. You can paint the doomsday picture however which way you want. We choked up 2nd place and fell to 3rd. It's not like choking up 4th and coming 5th. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:38AM
leicester won the league mate. we limped into the season's end behind them and the vermin we'd spent the season taunting. those are facts, not painting anything. expectations change as the season pans out. if united and chelsea are out of the top 4 then of course we ought to finish up there. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 10:49AM
Everyone would have taken 3rd at the beginning of the season. It's as simple as that. - by Glassy - 05/16/2016 10:46AM
Yes of course. That doesnt mean we cant adjust our ambitions as the season progresses though? - by MarkP - 05/16/2016 10:47AM
But that also doesn't mean its justified to go absolutely ****ing mental when those ambitions aren't met - by JonnieB - 05/16/2016 10:54AM
You're wrong. We just got hammered by a relegated side 5-1, who were reduced to 10 men for the final 30mins. The consequences of that defeat meant we finished below Arse*al for the 21st season running after being above them for some 3 months or so. How the **** do you expect people to just shrug their shoulders and go 'oh well, nevermind' given the majority of us are now subjected to the relentless mocking and pisstaking from friends and colleagues? It's a ****ing embarresment. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 10:58AM

was definitely worth throwing the cups for anyway. - by Balham thinks either domestic cup was absolutely winnable for us this season and would have taken that and finishing lower than 3rd all day every day - 05/16/2016 10:28AM
We got more points than anyone else in the league in the 2nd half of the season. This 'tails off' thing is a bit of a red herring IMO. We smashed United and Stoke out of sight and then had plenty of rest. We just lost out on the title and the players lost focus for the last 2 games. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:25AM
I remember teams saying we were like animals and that we were the toughest team they played...yet the way we played against West Brom, Southampton and Newcastle, it seemed like I was watching Spurs of old. We just looked lethargic and I think mentally, they were shot. We needed to be able to mix it up during the season and bring others into the team for the cups and Europa league. As T said, when Kane is off his game, the team don't respond. Kane has played so much this season, its hardly surprising that he couldn't perform in the last few games. - by Bongoman - 05/16/2016 10:32AM
Agree there. Although I think it was more to do with losing Dembele than anything else. Mentality certainly. They were shot, perhaps understandably. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:40AM
we drew a third of our games mate. 16 points from the final 11 games. demonstrably his methods of training don't work with the squad he has. without huge investment and proper rotation it still won't work. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 10:30AM
We had a poor start too. What did we get from our first 11 games? I'm not suggesting that this season has been 'sensational' because we've performed meekly in the cups and fell short on a title bid that was winnable. However we've achieved a top 4 finish which was from most sane observers not on the cards last August. His methods have worked. Spurs have improved in points and league position and performance. We now must improve again. He's had what, one full season with a 'proper' squad? nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:34AM
It's been an ok season. He is an ok manager, nothing more. I'd give him another year on the proviso that we spend a ****ing fortune and do so in plenty of time for pre season. Anything else and it is the same again. As it is year in year out, the small man has a huge summer ahead of him. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 10:38AM
I think you are wrong on Poch. He'll be the first manager Levy has appointed that will leave us for something better. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:43AM
What about the final third of the season? (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 10:28AM
8th in the form table on our last 10 games. (nt) - by MisterT answering for you - 05/16/2016 10:32AM
But 1st if you add in the 9 games before that? We ****ed up the last 4 games. I think as Poch said it was more to do with mentality than fitness or tactics or ability. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:35AM
We went mental when Redknapp threw away a 10 point lead on Arse*al, we threw away a 7 point lead (8 if you include the superior goal difference) under Poch. For all the positivity talked about mid-season today feels like deja-vu. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 10:38AM
Yes I agree there. The only difference is that under HR we lost the bragging rights and the prize. Under Poch we'd already secured the prize and just lost the bragging rights. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:44AM
lost focus in the chelsea and west brom game - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 10:27AM
Agree. In different ways, but agree. V WBA we battered them and started showboating a bit and got punished. Chelsea we had beaten them and the game was won and we got caught up in thier games and fell right into the trap. It's naive stuff. The folly of youth. Also, if I'm ultra critical Hugo as captain is not ideal. Cant really take it off him either. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:29AM
i really cant see anyone else who can do the job as captain. none of them seem to have the personality. - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 10:31AM
I think Harry has but he doesn't need the extra grief. Maybe Alds? Maybe Dier? One shout from left field might be Rose. He's been Spurs for a long time and I suspect (dont know for sure) that he has a strong will to win. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 10:46AM

You know there are special levels of delusion on here when people are STILL going on about AVBs season being better than Pochettino even though we've just finished 3rd and automatically qualified for the CL. How on earth some of you can mock other people for talking **** then come out with this **** it is astounding. Pochettino finished 3rd. AVB finished 5th. Have a word word with yourselves. - by Glassy - 05/16/2016 10:59AM
Hold on, weren't you the one banging on about it was win percentage that mattered, an only that? Under that, AVB is better than Poch, but not as good as your man Sherwood. nt - by fishlovinyid - 05/16/2016 11:22AM
What? - by Glassy - 05/16/2016 11:25AM
Well you could argue that points total shows how you did against all the other teams, but league position also takes into account how well other teams did against each other. So points total is a better measure of how good you are as a side. Of course how good you are as a side doesn't matter because the only thing that matters is where you finish in the league - by Dougal - is not sure that makes any sense but knows what he means - 05/16/2016 11:08AM
It's just people that are unable to accept that Pichettino has been better for us. And is a better manager. All that matters is where you finish in the league. Trying to convince yourself that you were right by comparing the points tallies is just ridiculous. It's not a weaker league. It's more competitive. Everyone agrees it's more competitive, and in a hug key competitive league we finished 3rd. - by Glassy - 05/16/2016 11:12AM
As you say, he has been better for us. We've finished higher. Whether we're a better team is debateable - by Dougal - thinks we're a better team but can see why some people wouldn't - 05/16/2016 11:17AM
For me personally the fact we've finished higher in the league than we have since I've supported us proves he's better. - by Glassy - 05/16/2016 11:26AM
Nobody is saying it's better, people are simply pointing out that we finished 5th with more points, which could point to us not really improving at all and our rise in league postion is simply down to the likes of City, Chels**, United and Liverpool all declining. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 11:05AM
they are just trying to be cool fella. - by shanghai mateys are looking properly silly - 05/16/2016 11:02AM
Glassy, I will try and break it down into smaller chunks. I may well be wrong, but I thought you had posted on here earlier this year that win percentage was the best indicator a a manager's abiluty/performance. This led to a conversation about sample size. I swear you stuck to your guns that a high win percentage was a good indictative measure. If we look at the league win percentage of our last three managers. Poch comes bottom. Got it? nt - by fishlovinyid - 05/16/2016 11:37AM
I think win percentage is a tricky measure because if you beat all the **** teams and get slaughtered by the good teams are you better or worse than if you pretty much draw against everyone? - by Dougal - just wants to finish above Arsenal once - 05/16/2016 11:40AM
If you have two managers that finish 5th in the league, were at Spurs for two years and neither of them won anything then win % would be something you could use to use to compare. When one manager finishes 5th in a full season, and another finished 3rd its just utterly pointless. - by Glassy - 05/16/2016 11:44AM
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? nt - by fishlovinyid - 05/16/2016 11:43AM

No, that would be Sherwood. nt - by fishlovinyid - 05/16/2016 11:40AM

The only logical reason behind what was a very odd selection would either be the story below. Or perhaps Townsend always struggled v Davies in training and not Rose? nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 11:29AM
I'm choosing to believe that, as I think that he would've come on yesterday after half-time if he was in contention, and also because he would not have been on the bench if injured and most likely been a starter(nt) - by Yourconscience believes everything on the internet - 05/16/2016 11:40AM

Mil/JB I feel bad for being horrid to you both. You that I'm a huge fan but Spurs is to blame. I feel like a battered wife, believing his lies and tears. Well, no more. My sister Karen said I can stay with her and John in Canvey. I'm taking the kids tonight and he can rot in hell. No more - by Dack singing the song from Frozen - 05/16/2016 11:13AM

i think england have a decnet team that i will enjoy watching , i think we win our group, i think the top teams are another level to us though and when we face 1 of them we will be out, fair enough - by .TC. - 05/16/2016 12:17PM
its a good side. dreadful manager though and will underachieve - by jimmy hotspur - 05/16/2016 12:19PM
He's an owl of course and I wouldn't want him at spurs but I don't see that hodgson has done a bad job with england really. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:25PM
Hold on a ****ing second. In his second season Poch comes 3rd and CL football. In his second tournament Roy finished last and was beyond embarrassing. ****s sake. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 12:27PM
Haha - by Glassy - 05/16/2016 12:31PM
**** me, he'd only been England manager a month before the Euros! (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 12:31PM
I wasn't judging him on his first tournament, that would be unfair. Same with Poch and his first season really. It was someone else's squad. Roy had a diabolically bad world cup though. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 12:32PM
I like what he's done with the squad and how we play to be honest. I'm confident we'll do well in a tournament for the first time since Hoddle. (nt) - by MisterT - 05/16/2016 12:34PM
Yes I agree with you actually. I just dont like Bal's double standards up there. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 12:36PM
haha. they are both ok managers who have done ok jobs. pooch isn't great, at all, and hodgson isn't terrible, at all. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:37PM
Poch helped hodgson by giving him fine well tuned hungry athletes, hodgson returned them overplayed and broken - by viveledaniel - 05/16/2016 12:40PM
a couple of games broke them? - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:45PM
the 10 minutes in the second game broke them after they had posted stats of the greatest running distances ever by england players just a few days earlier, they were also already playing through injuries - by viveledaniel - 05/16/2016 12:55PM
Look at england qualifying for this tournament. what more do you want from him? - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:29PM
I think 'par' for England is probably semi's of the Euro's and quarters of the worlds. Depending on the draw. Although simb tells me that I'm wrong. Unless you win the trophy then anything else is abject failure. nt - by NTY leans in - 05/16/2016 12:31PM
Sorry, Can i just pick you up on one point there mate, 'worlds'? That's in the main, athletics talk and also very annoying. Please cease ;o) - by MidlandYid - 05/16/2016 12:43PM
par for england is getting out of the group. we are light years from germany, france, italy, holland, spain, portugal and so on and that's just europe. i wouldnt want him at spurs but this qualifying period has has played ten, won ten, scored 31, conceded 3. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:33PM
Qualifying should be a given. I accept we're behind Germany and Spain, but not those other nations at all. nt - by NTY - 05/16/2016 12:34PM
well results and comparable performances in tournaments says different. - by Balham noting that del bosque is terrible too based on spain being **** at that world cup also - 05/16/2016 12:34PM

toby had a ****ing stinker. whatever the ****ing formation change was after walker went off cattled us, they were walking through us time after time. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:15PM
Why did that happen? the formation change? - by Mil - 05/16/2016 12:16PM
walker was injured and he got subbed off for chadli and went 3 at the back. i'd like to say he went 352 or something but i haven't got a ****ing clue what was going on up there. - by Balham - 05/16/2016 12:18PM

he is better for Wales where he doesn't have to cover the whole left side or do much attacking - by c-spur thinks he is a reasonable backup for Rose, certainly better than 99% of the other backup players in our squad - 05/16/2016 12:13PM
My worst Spurs Dad story is letting my boys stay up late to watch the second half of that FA Cup replay against City when we were 3-0 up and they had had a man sent off. What could possibly go wrong, I thought, as I benignly watched their happy, excited faces. 45 minutes later they were traumitised wrecks.

I think my school were a bit ****. They took you to swimming but if you could already swim they just had you swimming widths and if you couldn't swim they had you doing widths with a float. I could swim just well enough to do a width without a float but there was no actual teaching going on - by Dougal - can swim now but is still not very good - 05/16/2016 04:25PM

Yes but I didn't want to do a barmitzvah in the first place. The party and presents are a reward for having to go to hebrew classes for years then sing a stupid hebrew song in front of a synagogue full of people - by Dougal - also did not ask to have his foreskin forcibly removed - 05/16/2016 04:04PM

This is actually very, very close to the true hatred between both sets of fans.
Very similar demographics, and the knowledge that but for growing up a couple of miles away you would have been "them".
