Tottenham Thread - 2022/23

I bet he still wonders what might have been.

Every day of his life.

 

[Gabriel]

Brentford (H) and Leeds United (A) to close the season and to amass a maximum of 63 points, which might not be enough to secure any European football. Quite a drop from 4th last year with 71 points, and I wouldn’t consider any of their three major signings (Richarlison, Romero, Bissouma) to have been roaring successes.

FOYS!

And I think—if they manage to hold on to him, which is a big if—I reckon we see a drop of from Kane, and an even bigger one from Son, next season.

Can we all take a minute to laugh at spurs?

Can't I'm afraid. Haven't stopped laughing at them for a good few months.

I just can’t see them selling Kane. It would be adding insult to injury for their fans, so I could see them renegotiating a new contract in the summer to give the illusion of a rebuild. They need a new manager whose playing style is more progressive and they desperately need creativity in midfield. It’s ten years since Modric left for Madrid and three since Eriksen left for Internazionale, and they’ve been relying on stamina and brawn ever since.

I tend to agree.

The drop off in production from Kane and Son that I expect will be a big enough blow to Spurs and their fans, though.

Reckon Haaland’s season was to Kane what last season was to Liverpool.

Scoring 27 goals and losing the golden boot, and not having real European football on top.

It’s going to break him.

I actually think that they could have a good League season next year if they don’t have European distractions. We can see from the success enjoyed by Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion that the fewer the distractions, the closer you can get; I also expect Arsenal and Newcastle United to have teething problems in that regard. However, any Spurs improvement will be conditional on them appointing a decent manager and signing creative midfielders. Kane’s pain with not winning trophies will presumably be assuaged with a bumper salary increase.

Their fans will be happy tonight at least,they'll be pissing their sides

Is this shower of a club still looking for a new manager, I fucking despise these cockney wankers, a trophy dodging club on a par with the fucking rags.

 

[Ste68]

Still not forgot or forgiven 81 , always enjoy watching them implode. Have same animosity towards Luton and am hoping if they get promotion it will destroy them through overreach and I get to see them drop all the way back out of the league - lovely.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Let’s all laugh at Spurs.

Lost 3-1 at home to Brentford and now 7th in the table and level on points with Villa who play at Anfield today - if they scrape a point, Spurs will drop to 8th with a tough game at Leeds away to finish on. No more points for them this season, I reckon.

What an implosion. If 'arry goes, they need a complete new spine - and more. Can't see them getting back near the top for a good while.

Oh dear; how sad; never mind.

 

[bluethrunthru]

There was a song I think early 80's "nice legs shame about the face" - could substitute ground for legs and team for face - may not scan as well but the same meaning

 

[bluethrunthru]

Also a great result coz Levy is going to ask north of £150m for St Harry of Hotspur so the rags will spend more than £100m for a pair of 30 year old dodgy ankles

 

[give it to gordon]

I seem to be very popular with the spuds fans today

Spurs are like the Rags, hampered by their own arrogance and distorted image of self.

The difference is, the Rags have something to be arrogant about, albeit their glory years are behind them. Spurs haven't won a top league title since 1961! I am an old git, and I can just about remember it. In fairness, it was a double with the FA Cup, a huge achievement at the time. (No one rates mere doubles now, but it used to be seen as amazing.)

Spurs need to come down to earth and build the club from the ground up. It can be done, because they have very decent revenues. Very decent. They just need better management and a more realistic attitude.
