Ever since I was young there has always been a section of every fanbase that talk about being a "REAL" fan.

This idea ranges from going to every game, buying the shirt and even includes fighting.

My conclusion, anyone who uses the word REAL fan to exclude people is a dick and not worth conversing with. The idea that you can describe your self worth by how "passionate" you are about the club is downright stupid.

Nationality, race, religion and how many matches you watch should have no place in football. If people start trying to tell you otherwise they're probably wankers or Chelsea fans (or both).

Maybe I've misconstrued people's interpretation, but when I've mentioned tourists in the past, I don't mean spurs fans who don't live in or aren't from London, or even football tourists who like to just go to football matches because they're footy addicts. I fall into both those categories.

I've meant actual tourists, like sightseer's. Visit London so go see one of these Premiership thingy's. There's definitely been a feeling that the new ground has targeted that day trip demographic with the high prices, skywalks and go karts.

And even then, when I've made that remark, I'm usually being glib and old man about it.

Following on from this, it seems Levy and co want going to Tottenham to become a 'day out', similar to going to the cinema with the kids.

I've come to terms with the big stadium premier league games being more akin to concerts and the like now. All the light shows and hyyyyyyyyype. It's why I follow the lower leagues.

Anyway, Ange Postecoglu. Top bloke.

Not being decisive with the substitutions played a huge part in our downfall today. Bissouma and Maddison were miles off it and both needed to be hooked at half time.

Yeah lack of changes between 2nd a 3rd was a joke.

Ange's two worst games of the season , both at Fulham

Add Sarr into that too, should have all been off after 30 minutes. Today was on him. I will say it now we will never win a trophy with him. Love the man but not good enough to win trophies in England

We've had managers recently who are proven winners in England, but they didn't talk about playing an attacking brand of football, so fans turned on them.

I love Ange but you could see Fulham were set up to thwart us in the first 10 mins and he didn’t react tactically. Also Bentancur should be playing when the midfield is congested.

It’s do or die with Ange. Love it or hate it, he offers up absolutely zero tactical flexibility or ingenuity. His idea of in game management is making like for like subs and hoping his substitute has more of an impact than the player he started.

I realise that sounds pretty harsh on the man and by no means am I calling for his head, but his naivety needs to stop soon.

Love Ange, so happy with his attitude and how he made it feel like my Tottenham again but he fucked up tonight. He’s not above criticism despite how big of a fan I am. His decision making was wrong, completely wrong

Mate, he's in his late 50s - what you see is what you get. He may succeed or he may not but I wouldn't be expecting him to change his approach at this stage of his career.

You could argue a change or two was warranted even at HT.

But what killed us was not changing after two nil. Honestly was amazed he didnt.

We started the second half liked we finished the first, and gave a cheap corner away immediately.

Not a good sign the HT post mortem was having an affect.

When the third went in it killed it. Then the changes came too late.
