The Spurs thread

RobinLFC said:
You can't laugh at his predictions based on the present situations yet somehow out of nowhere suggest that both Chelsea (drastically) and United will improve themselves in such a manner that they'll be top 4 certainties next season, because that's also based on nothing.

You don't know what the transfer market will bring, you don't know how your coaching situation will look like in August, so it's basically just all speculation. In the here-and-now, the top 4 will be unchanged next season because no team outside of it is good enough right know to sneak in. And yes, you can be 99% certain it will be different after the transfer window but right now you can't just guess United and Chelsea will replace Leicester and Spurs because they're the richest teams or whatever grounds you're basing your prediction on.

No, I'm just laughing because it's typical Glaston. He mentions Liverpool because he does that everytime to wind up United fans. If that conversation was with you, he'd be belittling Liverpool then, it's how he rolls. He's been saying shite about Liverpool for a while putting Spurs miles ahead of them but when it comes to this prediction he's fine putting you in top 4 because it's a good wind up.

It's not impossible Liverpool will finish ahead of us next season, I actually think you may well do that. You have superior manager and some decent talent.

Ah fair enough, I don't follow his posts that closely but it's just that your comment came across as a fact rather than an opinion which struck me as weird.

What's weird about his top four is that he's talking about right now yet still includes Liverpool whilst we're nowhere near good enough to make top four at the moment, so you might have a point there indeed :D
 
Sarni said:
He comes across as everything but respectful. He's just a WUM. His response to title loss yesterday was 'United are shit'.

Correction: my first response was to congratulate Leicester City and call it the most amazing achievement in the history of football. Cue a wave of stupid comments from the usual gang of posters - including yourself - who seek mainly to pick fights and engage in what they fondly imagine are bullying tactics, but which mostly come over as childish squeakings.
 
@Sarni you're far from the only one but you come off as a complete cock in this thread.
 
GlastonSpur said:
Yes - right now I'd predict next season's top 4 (in no particular order) as City, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool. But I may revise this prediction as the transfer window draws to a close, depending on player ins and outs at various clubs.

Even in my book they'll be 2nd favourites to win the PL next season after ManCity who should really walk the league.

It's never in a respectful manner. You'd struggle to find many posts where he defends Spurs without a puerile dig at Utd. He gets the responses he provokes and desires.

He turns into a cock because he has people goading him whatever he decides to post. If he posts "good performance today" at least one person decides to wind him up for no apparent reason. He doesn't help himself by biting but it's just boring and annoying all round.
 
Laughed my head off the way Spurs imploded last night. All the bullshit about their squad and its structure collapsed in 20 minutes of unrelenting pressure. When they resorted to kicking out Chelski kicked harder.:lol:

Happy for Leicester.

Just wishful thinking.

Pochettino is special for Spurs, his post match interview tonight was great, he knows what he's doing with this group and I don't think he'll be off any time soon.
Click to expand...

Probably on your part though mate.

Pochettino has publicly spoken of his ambition to manage Real and less than a week ago said he would love to coach PSG. If an offer comes from one of Spains big two he'll be off. Theres not many coaches in the world who would turn either down.

It would be interesting to see what he could do in England if he stayed for a load of years but i doubt he will.
 
I never realised that Spurs were quite so unpopular outside of London.

We obviously know that all of the main London clubs can't stand us but it's actually quite a good feeling knowing how many people on here don't like us either.

We are obviously making bigger steps in the right direction than I realised, especially as we really aren't an offensive club, don't have any real issues with any teams from the north, apart from like many clubs some historical ones with Leeds. I've never ever been aware of any real animosity from Spurs towards Utd, probably because you've done us so many favours over the years with Arsenal and Chelsea. It's quite surprising and interesting to know.
 
Reading back over the last few pages is quite amusing. Poor Spurs showed the entire world (who never really had to care about them) what a shower they really are last night.

The whole Leicester/Spurs 'race' built up by the British media has been nothing short of disrespectful to Leicester. The UK media acted like Spurs were the bigger team and likely to be the cooler head etc, but in all honesty, neither of those teams have any idea what it is like to challenge for major honours so neither ever had the advantage over the other.

Anyway, 2-3 generations of Spurs fans now have never seen their team win the league and I'm sure that will only get longer. I'm sure many will never see it in their entire existence, so you can understand the petulance. I just can't wait to see the excuses coming out, like they did with the Lasagna incident.

I gotta give credit to two people though: Poch and Harry Kane. They belong at Champions League level and therefore, will have to leave Spurs in order to fulfil their ambitions consistently.

I mention Liverpool because Klopp has been appointed and the manager is by far the most important element at any club in terms of footballing performance. His positive impact at Liverpool is already evident, and next time around he'll have had the benefit of the summer to work with their squad, not to mention being at the helm for an entire season.

Nor is there any contradiction with my also having said that Spurs have finished above Liverpool in 5 of the last 6 seasons. That's not talking "shite" about Liverpool - it's a simple statement of fact. I think we may well finish above Liverpool next season also, except both in the top 4.

It's not Spurs I dislike, it's the Spurs fan(s) on this board.

I appreciate how Spurs have become one of the best teams in the country without financial doping, unlike Chelsea. On the other hand, I don't like Chelsea at all but most of their fans on this board are a decent bunch.

People on here only dislike Spurs because they can't stand Glaston and because you were up against Leicester. It's always easier to sympathise with the smaller club. I wouldn't look for any deeper reasons than that.

There's a reason for it though. People didn't just suddenly decide as a mass to abuse him. His sole purpose on this forum is to attempt to wind up Utd fans. Of course people are going to respond to that. If he didn't come in waving his dick around about a team with no league titles in over 50 years then it wouldn't happen.

His win percentage is lower than any Liverpool manager has mustered since Roy Hodgson. The next worse after that was Graeme Souness. It's entirely based on chance of improvement you aren't affording to others.

He WUMs sometimes, but he is unable to post anything without getting retorts which says more about other posters than him. No, people on mass didn't decide to abuse him, but certain individuals like to follow him around and take snipes at absolutely anything he posts. It's not his sole purpose to wind up united fans. He gives his opinion about Spurs and although sometimes it can be silly aka the NFL stadium shite, it only turns into United as that's one of his only defence mechanisms against you lot as its the first time in ages that United have been absolutely shite.

Also, the WUMs he makes? Worse than Pete. People should have a word with themselves for getting so wound up about them.

Maybe you're right, but I've never said a bad word about Utd as I really don't mind them and I have also attracted the pack of hyena's grouping together to attack. Even if some views go against the grain, like believing the reaction to last night is over the top, it's just a view but blimey the old hyena's seem to attack en masse :lol:

He's got them scoring goals, it's the hardest element to accomplish, if he can sort the easier stuff I to think Liverpool will be right up there next season.

He's been doing it for years. It doesn't really matter whether Spurs were better than Utd or not. It's always been the same and I'd say it's more than a defence mechanism. He knows what's going to happen when he posts and actively seeks out comments about Spurs or Spurs players to tell Utd fans they're dreaming if they think some of them would be interested in playing for Utd.

Getting wound up by it would be silly. Personally I find it amusing at times. More so if he actually believes what he says.

Tell that to Roberto Martinez. I think Liverpool will improve too. But you can't say you're basing a prediction on the here and now and then have Liverpool finishing above teams currently better than them.

You're probably guilty by association or something. To be honest plenty on here are acting like a bunch of twats. I can understand their dislike of Glaston as he can be pretty annoying but they take it way too far. One thing I can guarantee you though, if Spurs were up against Arsenal, City, Chelsea or, heavens forbid, Liverpool, people here would be cheering you on.

:lol:

Hate to burst your hubble mate but the only reason so many were against Spurs winning the title was Leicester City. It was such a great story that the majority wanted them to win it. Some hate Glaston so much that even he becomes a factor but I believe they are a minority.

To make it even clearer, had it been you vs any of the other usual contenders, everyone would be rooting for you. Hell, you could go a tier down to the perennial has beens like Pool, Arsenal etc and you'd still be the club people would rather see winning the title.

It's not because people like your club btw but just that you happen to be inconsequential compared to the likes of Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Arsenal etc.

Self-justifying crap. The fact is that some posters don't like it that I challenge the many inaccurate statements they make about Spurs, or what I've allegedly said. Neither do they like the fact that Spurs are have been upsetting the apple cart of top 4 in recent seasons ... because it offends their cosy and snobbish assumptions concerning mega-bucks clubs, even if they'll accept Leicester City as a one-off fairy-tale.

If I were to go back and list all of the ridiculous things said on here about Harry Kane, or Gareth Bale after he joined Spurs, or Spurs' prospects in the CL a few seasons back, or Spurs top 4 chances in any given season, or any number of other things Spurs-related ... it would fill an encyclopaedia.

Honestly mate, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any United fans that actively care about Spurs. I'm a Gooner and Spurs are basically irrelevant to me. It's the same reason United fans will hate Arsenal but not Spurs. Because, for periods, we have been successful whilst you have always been mostly irrelevant for at least five decades.

The reason that Spurs fans have a tendency to come under attack is because many of them seem to have this delusional idea that they are one of the biggest clubs in England and always have been, and anytime something goes wrong you blame everything but yourselves. (Lasagna, the WBA keeper, Hazard being a disgrace for wanting to win, Pulis saying he wants Leicester to win the title etc).

But its important to not get carried away like Glaston does or you will end up looking foolish. Spurs are an irrelevance to almost all big clubs and will continue to be so, whether you agree or not.

He took over mid-season. He's also in with a chance of qualifying for the CL via winning the EL. It's foolish to imagine that Liverpool under Klopp next season aren't going to be a considerable force with every chance of top 4.

They don't like that you continually tell them how shit their club is. Something you've been doing for years despite Utd being vastly superior over that time. It's got nothing to do with snobbish attitudes or you wouldn't have so many people pleased for Leicester so we'll file that garbage you repeat ad nauseum where it belongs.

We can all go back. The other day I went back and showed how you scoffed at 6 year trends when they showed Utd and Chelsea in a good light. Now it's your safety blanket. You have zero credibility and we could fill our own encyclopaedia just as easily. The fact remains that those who have said Utd will be more successful were right and you were wrong.

Yes he did. And has a worse record than the man he replaced. Van Gaal is in with a chance of qualifying for the Champions League too. It doesn't mean he's going to improve us next season. I'm not saying they won't be a force. I'm saying you can't use one rule for them and refuse to use it for others.

Pretty hard to look more foolish than an Arsenal fan right now, their entire fan base are behaving like spoilt brats. Silly little protests, fighting each other, singing about their manager dying, they've become a sad joke.

I don't think you have that many outsides that don't like you. I agree that it's sometimes a bit over the top when you guys lose and most people pick on Glaston, but a lot of the time he's getting back on United rather keeping the topic on his team which irritates a lot of supporters given its United board.

You don't do a lot of service for yourselves with that performance yesterday but given how inexperienced you guys are in the race for the title it's understandable that you'd lose the plot in the last games(although Leicester have done excellent despite having even less experience).

I never thought we had much anti-Spurs sentiment in the north, that's why I say it surprised me what I see here.

As for the London clubs they will try to laugh it off and deny it but all three of Arsenal, Chelsea and the Spammers hate Spurs the most. Just watching Arsefan tv or visiting any of their own forums will confirm that and we're the only club any of them ever sing their little songs about.
