This is just ridiculous mate.
Of course we all want to see success, and of course we want to see the club progress. And no-body is "defending" the window, there are just a fair few of us who don't see it as a complete disaster, and still won't if we sign nobody.
A "farce of a window" or a "shit show" would be selling our best players and replacing them with rubbish, and we've seen far too many windows like that. This doesn't look like one of them.
Some of us are actually going to enjoy where we're at, because let me tell you, for most of my time supporting Spurs I didn't even dream we would be in a position like this- great players, a world-class club-grown striker, a manager who oozes class, challenging at the top of the league, regularly in the CL, one of the best stadiums in the world about to be finished...
Of course we all want to see Spurs win things. But there was a time when it looked like the club might cease to exist, there was a time we were relegated, there were times when we never had more than a single quality player at the club, there were times when we were managed by complete idiots... I'll take where we're at now and be fucking grateful for it.
If you think that an inactive transfer window is a bad thing, that's your prerogative. But to accuse other people of holding sanctimonious views because they don't whine like spoilt children about it is a bit much.
I've lived through the times you've mentioned, that's why when an opportunity like this comes along we have to grab it. We can't act like we're in the throes of impending doom when we're not. Now is the time.
Some of you seem contented to be a nearly man club forever. When will some of you forgo this madness of next season we'll be a step closer bollocks, and just think fuck it let's just go balls deep THIS SEASON, and just try.
This spin doctory bullshit of finacial austerity because of the stadium or someother such crap irks me. We've been frugal for years. The banks know that unless some unforseen catasptrophic event occurs, Tottenham will always be able to pay back it's loan. We've got plenty money we just refuse to take ANY risks. It's embarassing.
What would you call someone who sits on their high horse and insults people with a different viewpoint. To me that's sanctimonious.
Spoit children.....embarrasing.
