We fucked up bad in the summer of 2013. We fucked up so incredibly badly. We bought some talented players, but they were absolutely not the right batch for what we needed even positionally.

Eriksen: good buy, but no idea what's gone on with him this season
Chadli: figured he'd be a squad option, but he's surprised me
Paulinho: said from the beginning he was a poor idea and not what we needed
Chiriches: knew nothing about him
Soldado: preferred Benteke, and even Remy
Capoue: was excited about this one, looked very good in Ligue 1
Lamela: poor decision despite his talent - way too much money even despite his potential, we needed to address the left far more, he still hasn't shown signs of being physically and mentally capable of consistency for the Prem (and can't compensate with pace), the money we spent should have addressed other positions such as left back, and if Baldini were so desperate to repair his relations with Roma/help them out financially we should have bought Pjanic which would have thereby alleviated the Paulinho problem

We fucked up so badly.

Poch will turn it around.
He won't have the chance to.

Negativity at/around the Lane is a powerful thing to overcome. It's accounted for many a manager/player/fan.

Don't think the players are mentally strong enough to play in that atmosphere.

So scared today that simple things became (seemingly) impossible, then the passing the buck and hiding from the ball starts.

I would love for poch to turn it around but I cannot say with any believe he will.

A new man will have the same problems though unless he gets off to a flyer and never has a bad run of games...

We need to retire some of our more well-known fan twitter accounts because they are fucking embarassing and we'll end up witha a COYS Meltdown twitter account of everyone taking the piss.

Right


Spur's biggest problem is us. Fickle, moany fans causing a horrible atmosphere to play in.
Selling Dawson was a bad day for the soul of this club and left us with no one senior who gave a shit. We deserve fazio for being so souless.
Sherwood deserved to keep the job. Not least for all the great stuff he has done with our youth set up previously. How much of what he said was wrong? We should have celebrated one of our own and supported him.
Commoli is a fucking genius compared to whatever twat is in charge of transfers currently and I would welcome him back.
Selling gylfi was bad
I hate the type of football we try to play. It's so fucking boring.
I'm disparate for a man crush player but not one of ours match up.

I cringe whenever I hear the word "philosophy" in regards to a football team.

I cringed at it when AVB was appointed, all through his tenure and again when Poch was appointed.

To me, it's just a byword for "I have an idea, but if I don't have exactly the right players or exactly the right conditions then we're all fucked."

I dislike going to WHL because of the awful, poisonous atmosphere and the entitled moany fans, some of which are just so so stupid to compound matters as well, more than the dislike I get from a shit performance.

Genuinley, our atmosphere and fans make me less excited about going to the Lane than rubbish football.

Would love gylfi, daws, defoe, Hudd, Holtby, Sandro back.

We might not win fuck all but at least they were spurs players. Not fucking randoms like Fazio and Co.
