It’s been a strange old summer.

There were points where many of us wondered if we’d even appoint a manager.

We all know about what’s going on with our best player and talisman.

Another couple of remnants of the Pochettino era, and all it meant to us, have been dispersed with, as has even poor old Coytey.

And now, we have a couple of highly rated young players to bed in and we have several players of various ages who, fitness permitting, should be better for us than they were after gaining more experience either at Spurs or on loan. Lo Celso, Ndombele, Sessegnon, Reguilón, Bergwijn, Tanganga, Rodon, and more.

Then we have a few remaining remnants, some like Lloris we hope can keep up their level a bit longer, some like Son who we expect to, and some like Dele, Lucas, Winks, Sanchez, Dier, who are currently still with us and such we need to perform better than they have in a fair while, but probably also need to support better than we have in a fair while.

And now, after 18 months of watching almost completely from a distance, we can give them and all the others that support, that twelfth man, that impetus again. I’ve missed being there terribly, and I’m sure many of the rest of you also have. Some may not have and some may not even be returning. I hope to be returning as a better supporter, one who knows what he’s missed since early 2020, and will treasure just being there again.

Yes, I want to win, and yes like all the other supporters who attend I spend a high price so want to be rewarded with good football and with success. But I’m not entitled to it, and if I don’t get behind the 11 I’m our colours each and every time they I’m there, I don’t deserve it either.

So tomorrow

whatever happens

however you feel about the owners
the choice of manager
the signings or lack of
or any individuals stepping over the white line at 4pm

once those names are read out, you’re in your seat and that whistle goes, get behind the team, let the opposition hear you roar, and believe that in a match of 11 v 11 men, success is always possible,

Come On You Spurs!!!

great post, photo, everything.

But even though I’m back in London this month I’m not going, and I’m not paying to watch the coverage either.

Prices too high relative to the average players wearing our colours on the pitch. And an opponent who will hog the ball.

Every respect to all of you going?

After the Wolves game, the final game before Lockdown, I had decided to return my ticket for the first time in over 20 years as I had become so disillusioned with the state the club was in, Mourinho et al. We’re still in a state but we’ve taken steps in the right direction. Looking forward to getting there tomorrow and shouting at something other than my kids.

And then everyone groans "ffs" when Dele gives the ball away in the first minute, and the misery comes flooding back. :D

I'll be there though, cos I'm a chump.

Love it, great post. I can’t wait to get back tomorrow.
Our views would seem to be quite similar, but mine is not quite as posh as yours ?

This is the view from my seat. I haven't sat (well stood in front of it actually) for what seems like forever. COYS!

Love the article but I temper it with a degree of realism. Clearly Spurs are in the beginning of the great rebuild and there is so much to do. We start as clear under dogs against City but what I am looking for is passion, fitness and a positive / aggressive team spirit. Things could go wrong due to bad luck but whilst results clearly matter the return of the attacking style of old is so very important. I want to be entertained (so lacking under Mourinho) and proud of the team. Spurs have a long way to go with, in my mind, at least 5 more quality additions to the squad to be made. Perhaps the hardest part will be to get rid of players who have no future at the club. Sissoko, Aurier & Ndombele need to be removed quickly if possible with Doherty, Clarke and Carter-Vickers who as much as I like some of them they are not of the highest standard required. I will be patient and forgiving provided Nuno and importantly Paratici set us on the right path.

The top 4 seem so out of sight now it's going to be difficult for fans not to be angsty once the initial optimism fades. But we really need to settle down after the last 2 seasons and have a proper strategy again. We won't catch to top sides in the coming 2-3 seasons if we flail around changing managers. As the last poster said, good entertainment and some proper steel and pride in the team would cover over many shortcomings and set us on a good path.

We the fans need to make a difference this year.
The wall needs to make the constant noise that was intended when built.
Too often those 'for ffs Dele' and groans when Lucas loses the ball have more impact.
Hopefully this will be a full season at the new ground. We have to make it an intimidating fortess, with fans backing the team.
With Jose gone, DL taking more of a backseat on transfers and leaving it to Paratici, i am looking forward to giving my all in the Paxton End and am actually optimistic about what the future holds.

No mate. I don't feel that ever.
