Bitterness

The season cheats DID prosper, thugs bullied their way to victories and Rascists ended up as winners.

Before i expand, i just want to say i have followed Spurs since i was five years old when my dad took me to a reserve game and later a Pat Jennings testimonial, where me and my dad chatted to Glen Hoddle, just a young reserve about to break into the first team, must have been a full ten minutes and an autograph on the match programme, those were the days. Just want you to know i have been there ,done it ,wore the suit bla bla bla.

Anyway, regardless of tonights CL final result i had already decided that i was done with football. This is not knee-jerk, been thinking about this for months.

How can you have a sport where so much is wrong with it?
Everybody has been saying that this is the best season ever and maybe for excitement and unpredictability thats true.
For me, its been the worst season in history, both from a Tottenham point of view and also from a moral footballing point of view.

CHEATS

I have watched divers and phoneys attempt to bend the rules to their advantage almost at will.
Watched Didier Drogba(great player that he is) dive and cheat his way through games, the Barca games were embarrassing but there he is scoring the winning penalty for his team and collecting the CL as well as the fa cup after Mata fooled the ref into giving the ghost goal with his phoney celebrations.
John Terry and Ivanovich nobble anyone in their way, knees and forearm smashs at will.
Watch every Chelsea player foul by any means to stop the opposition and generally go unpunished. Some of the treatment the Barca players and the Bayern players received was disgraceful.

I have watched players surround and hassle refs and get decisions later on through applying psychological pressure, while my team played by the rules for the most part and got sweet FA! How many times were we 'Foyed' this season?

So much for the respect campaign and the fair play league(which we are normally near the top of), whats the point of it all? What does it mean? Whats the reward for playing clean and fair? Playing the best football is almost irrelevant.

The Ballotelli incident, was it cheating or thuggery or plain assault?
All i know is he was in retrospect found guilty and banned but he was still on the pitch to get the penalty and score the penalty that cost us the game and the point that cost us CL football. Don't forget it also cost Man Utd the league title, while he celebrated a PL title. You see, cheats and thugs do prosper.

RASCISTS

I dont really need to elaborate on this, just to say Luiz Suarez has a league cup winners medal and John Terry has two winners medals.
Has there been a more sickening sight than seeing him lift the CL trophy tonight?

UGLY FOOTBALL AND BAD LUCK

See, it's not just about us,although we have been adversely affected by many of these incidents.
It seems that football has lost this season, Chelsea somehow knocked out Barca despite being the vastly inferior team. We have missed out on CL despite largely playing by the rules.
Ugly football (in Chelseas case) has won this season. Thuggery has won. Defensive,awful football has won. Maybe corruption has won?
Fulop,Lasagne,Webb,Foy,Ghost goals, Goal line technology.......can all these things possibly go against us?
Are we jinxed or are their darker forces at work?
I mean, after missing out on CL because of dodgy lasagne the Arse went and lost the CL to Barca.We would have made it that year.
When we do get fourth, Chelsea win the thing! It had to be that way didn't it? Arsenal would have have won the CL if we had got fourth under Jol because that's just the way it is being a Spurs fan.
Chelsea were the luckiest and dirtiest winners of the CL i have ever seen. Basically one or two shots and one corner in both semis and the final.
How incredible is that?
For example in other sports you get what you deserve right? Baskeball for instance, you run up and put the ball in the basket, the best team nearly always wins.
Cricket, you score runs or you get out. If there is a doubt, then the review system corrects it(most times). 99% of the time the best team wins.

I have made up my mind, football isn't like that. The inferior team can win by luck, cheating, intimadation and yes, possibly corruption.
The rules just don't work, they allow for huge margins of error, no system to correct mistakes and constant fouls and cheating that goes unpunished.

MONEY

I think the next time an Arab or Oligarch buys a football team they should ask him and the club what year they would like to be given the title. Let them choose the year and give them the trophy. Everyone gets a year off, fans,players,managers. They will win it at some point, it's a formality just as Cheatski and Man City have proven. So why not just give it to them and be done with it.
We in the UK, live in a society that (used to) encourage fair play and believed in cheering for the underdogs.
Unfortunately, these new generation owners don't do romance. They come from a place where money talks, corruption rules and there is no room for sentiment and dreamers.
How do you think Roman got where he is? Do you think he cares if he bought the CL?
Where he comes from it's a way of life.
Believe me, i have worked and lived all over the world.There would be no feelings of guilt or cheating if success was bought with wads of cash in brown paper bags.

The greatest game/sport there is, has become massively flawed.

As i said, its been a diabolical season for football and for my team Tottenham Hotspur.

I am not going to put anymore of my time or money into football.It's not the fault of my team, its football in general, it stinks from top to bottom.

Sorry for the rant, this season has just been too much. The football gods must have taken a year off, i think i will do the same.

He has to be one or the other his explanation in court was that he could barely read and write = clueless. Or he was lying =crook.

It is certainly not beyond the bounds of possibility that he is both.

I feel a bit sorry for spuds but like most have a bit of schadenfreude where Redknapp is concerned.

Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

Remember when the same thing happened to Everton when Liverpool won? UEFA found an extra place for them. I'm smiling, but not laughing just yet.
 
Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

Spurs are fucked in the short term. Bale and Modric will go and City will sell Adebayor to someone like PSG or Malaga.

Plenty of money there to rebuild with though.
 
Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

Can someone on here please tell me why the absolute hatred some people have of Rednapp? Don't get it myself. Yes the media wank all over him, but that's not all down to him. He plays a very canny game with the media, so fair play to him on that. Yep, he's a tax dodger, but by Christ he's nowhere, absolutely nowhere near as bad as some others. I thought Spurs played some good stuff this year, although I would argue the toss with anyone who said they were as good as us at times.

If Spurs lose Bale and Modric it is just a perfect example of the thing that was alluded to in that Independent article that someone posted on here a couple of weeks ago. Basically it stated that City had to do it the way they did as it was impossible to break into the top four, or fight for the title unless you had a sugar daddy. Any team that did it the right way, by bringing in players on the 'cheap' (not always) and building from youth, or taking a chance on someone who hasn't worked out somewhere else, would inevitably get raped by the big boys if they became succcessful. The example was Spurs doing well a few years back then losing Carrick and Berbatov to the Rags. Well it seems like this will happen again doesn't it.

As a football fan, it isn't really that good if Spurs lose their better players, it just goes to show that you can't beat the teams with oodles of cash. Bit of a shame really, regardless of your opinions of Rednapp.

I dunno, I quite like seeing them pretend they are too good for the europa league, drop out of it early then go on to complain that too many matches was the reason they slipped back in the league. Arrogant idiots.
 
Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

I hate this guy with an absolute passion.
So funny that he did not get the England job and Chelsea won yesterday.

100% crettin

Why?

Their fans constantly discredit us being champions,
Their manager constantly bitches about us buying players they are after
VDV kept calling us fucking bottlers
Walker called all our fans glory hunters

It's Karma

I disagree. There isn't a more graceless bunch in football than Spurs fans. Constantly bleating on about what a small club we are and yet they haven't had bigger home attendances than us for a decade and they haven't won the league in over half a century. The word "massive" springs to mind.

The other thing is how much they pontificate about "doing things the right way" and how the state of modern football's finances is grossly unfair without any apparent self-awareness that it was their club that was at the vanguard of creating the monster we see today. They were perfectly happy to give a big "fuck you" to the rest of football when it looked like it would work in their favour, but now it's not working out it's "boo-hoo it's not fucking fair".

Fuck them. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
 
Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

No, winning because you are the best and you did it through your own efforts is all that matters.

Its like asking if you want a satisfying, loving relationship - or want to pay prostitutes. You get sex either way, but one fills your soul with love and pride and the other leaves you loveless and ashamed.
