I can't see their money men being happy they keep missing out on the CL with a billion quid stadium to pay for.

Maybe not, but if they were banking on that they were pretty naive.

From a Spurs forum.

"Are the current Spurs squad better than the Villa squad? I think yes. Outside of McGinn and Watkins who else would you want from Villa?"

I know all fans are deluded to a point, but that's a shocker.


Missing the point that the sum of the parts can be better than the individual parts.

I doubt they were banking on it, but they'd most likely have wanted better than once in 5 seasons,

They probably have got a good few players who would improve our squad, but that's not the point. Our squad is massively more than the sum of its parts and that's predominantly down to the genius of Emery.

Only when you have Unai Emery as manager, or Tim Sherwood (obviously).

I've been enjoying that forum for a while. They've been massively overconfident on Villa falling away and Spurs qualifying for the Champions League for months. Chickens coming home to roost now. They'll be in full meltdown next week. Make sure you tune in.

Yeah but I think we’re talking in the context of what Postecoglu has done this season. I’d imagine most sensible Spurs fans would see he’s done a pretty good job.

I think it's called coaching.

I’d take Van Der Ven for his pace. No others and I definitely wouldn’t swap their manager, stadium, fans, history or anything else for theirs.

Any Spurs fan who spots this would know it’s the truth.

Spurs have made an application to Haringey Council to increase the number of non-football events to 30 per year.

No longer a football club, more an entertainment business with a football team attached.

Maybe they can get the American hyperspurts franchise to pad up and replace gutless turds like Maddison, Holberg and Richarlison.

Just as the other Spurs are becoming more of a 'sawker' franchise. https://twitter.com/SpursCulture/status/1784686164479299788

Us and Spurs both suffered from being managed by the latter.

He's such a Spurzzy Spurzzy guy.

For his benefit and theirs I hope they take him back.

Let him have carte blanche with transfers as well. They deserve it.
