Shame that, quality player.

Yeah. I remember our game there last season. He was happy to have a battle with Joelinton. Surprised he hasn’t played more, TBH.

High ankle sprain isn't the same as a normal one. Likely means torn ligaments above the ankle.

In which case I feel somewhat duped by the name…

We have 14 players unavailable tomorrow. It would be so frustrating at the best of times. Apparently Odobert and Kolo Muani had some kind of car incident but are both ok so it could have been 16, but it may as well be 15 with how unmotivated Kolo Muani has been lately. 
 

It’s proper laugh or cry stuff at the moment.

Was gunna say, I'd have assumed sprained ligaments. If his ankle ligaments were torn, they'd say 'Bergvall is out with torn ankle ligaments'.

My manager supports Spurs and he always laughs about them singing "sideways and backwards, everywhere we go". I hadn't watched them properly but after watching tonight - my God they were awful.

 

I actually believe they have a fairly talented side but they're just really mismanaged and probably have a few bad apples with the wrong attitudes.

 

Kinda feels a bit like Man United - where the players think they've made it just because they're at Man United. No - you've made it when you're winning at Man United. With Spurs - I'd say it's the playing for a top London side and having the nice lifestyle in the capital. There's just a whole entitlement thing about them for me.

 

I would have hounded out Steve Bruce every day of the week cause he was a lazy bastard and a plastic Geordie to boot, working under Mike Ashley and defending him. Pardews abuse was canny extreme and harsh like but he also got into bed with the devil so kinda got what he deserved (to some degree).

 

I generally don't like seeing how much the media stir and revel in the demise of managers though. TNT desperately trying to get soundbites out of Frank tonight and bait managers. Howe the other day looked desperately sad. These may or may not be great managers but they're certainly trying and at times it's nothing short of bullying how folk go on.

 

Granted - they get paid the big bucks and get another job of similar stature if they fail like, but aye...not sure there's the need sometimes.

 

Anyways...back to Spurs...they really are in a relegation fight and really are likely to go down imo. They just have the worst attitude of the teams down there. They look void of ideas and void of confidence and their leader is getting suspended when they have endless injuries.

They are really terrible now but their injury list is truly horrific. 

 

Not sure which came first but I'm not sure a new manager is going to come in and these 12 reserve players knocking down doors in the PL.

 

Might at least run more I guess. 

[Danh1]

Never really got the dislike people on here have for Spurs. Saying that, it would be very funny to see them go down.

 

That new stadium not the springboard to success that people would have had you believe it was to be.

I'm sure these were the excuses made last season too though about injuries. Maybe they need to be looking at what they're doing in training and the pitch quality etc.

 

Maybe they're horrendously unlucky...but it all just seems a bit strange.

Was similar for Arsenal, took them ages to win a trophy after moving to the Emirates.

Mad is it may sound it could be the cause of their demise.

 

Is the pitch quality not as good because of the other sports and events played there? Is the atmosphere worse than White Hart Lane? Are the fans a different demographic? Are ticket prices driving iut proper fans? Is it full of folk who wanna go for a nice afternoon out of entertainment? Has the money been spent on facilities rather than sufficient quality and strength in depth?

 

They're pretty much the example of a modern club not being the be all and end all that modern football would have you believe is required to succeed. Relegation could be catastrophic for them.

They'd be fine if they only went down for 1 season.  Actually benefit of the tight ship that Levy ran for decades.

I went there last season and it just didn’t feel like a football stadium, more of an arena. 
 

Surely that home advantage is what it’s all about. I done a stadium tour of SJP the other week and they were talking about the big differences between the home and away changers, then you have the slope on the pitch (love that quirk) and the general working class feel we have at SJP, it is our home. 
 

Spurs roll out the red carpet, make it nice and comfortable. Stadium mainly full of tourists, people filming and corporate types. 
 

And as stated, it hasn’t helped them.

Spurs are not getting relegated.

Wouldn't want to see this lot relegated purely on the basis @leffe186is a canny guy.

Question for @leffe186 that I'd been wondering about, have the Korean tourists dropped? Son was pretty much a modern legend for Spurs and so that might be sustainable (for a while) as an income source.

[Wallace]

Apparently they put the prices up for the game tonight - not sure if it was the top band of prices but I heard £86.  Fans are struggling to pay the prices asked and the performances are not helping.  

[Theregulars]

I think they’ve already won too many games and have enough good players so will be fine but it’s ridiculous that they’re about where they were last year for the transfer and wages spend and incredible advantages that being a Sky 6 member should have given them. 

The thing that might change it is if the injuries don’t let up or get worse, it is genuinely mental to have the same numbers off sick as last year.

 

What doesn’t help them is their ticket prices, can’t charge elite fees for markedly unelite fare.

 

im also not sure they spend money at all well when they have it. None of the modric, bale or Kane windfalls have been reinvested that well (looking from the outside and with some background knowledge as my mum supports them).

[TRC]

Not more satisfying than watching a team you hate lose against us.

 

We have an incredible run of playing team that I personally fucking hate.

 

Villa, City, Everton, Man U, Chelsea then the Mackems.

They said that about us under McClaren...

[Ben]

Hoddle mentioned it a few times in commentary that they dont move when they haven't got the ball, nobody is looking for space or actively pulling opposition players out of position, which means they are really easy to defend against.

Why all the hatred for spurs? living in North London for 20 years and my flat mates etc being spurs fans I prefer them than any other London club personally as my levels of hatred for Chelsea and arsenal are off the charts, West ham and Fulham are meh but always liked talking football with my spurs mates as they give you a two way conversation and it's not just all me me me.

The NFL and other events use a different pitch underneath the football pitch that rolls away.

 

I’m not sure about atmosphere, but considering it’s about 1/3 bigger than their old stadium in capacity, and the stadium is designed to keep noise in, an they have that huge single tier stand, I’d say that’s on the fans.

 

Their income from the new stadium has massively increased their commercial revenue, and so think they get something like double our match-day revenue if not more. If anything, the stadium should be helping them have a better playing squad, and they also have a brand new state of the art training ground to go with it.

 

Their issues stand firmly with the players and management.

I dunno  They’ve only won 2 games in the league since the end of October and haven’t won a single game in 2026.

 

Their next game is Arsenal so every chance that record extends into March.
