Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread - Game 37 - KO 6:00pm

[Gb160]

Burnley are 2-0 down and have literally nothing to play for. But they're playing with verve and energy even in the 81st minute. They understand what it means to their fans.

West Brom are already relegated and are playing better than we’ve played in months.
Every player is at it 100%

What I’m saying is we should bring fat Sam in.

Danny Rose was awesome in the champions League final run.

[Tiberius Gracchus]

Tonight I became "Levy out" for the first time. And I want the majority of players gone too. Only 10 or so of the players came out at the end (I can only remember Kane, Bale, Toby and Moura), and 30 minutes late

Durong that 30 or so minutes the mood got progressively worse, just boos ringing around the stadium in front of an empty pitch

I don't normally take photos or videos at the ground but I've never seen anything like it

Edit
@Blackcanary has posted a link to the photos, including those who came out for the lap of honour, if anyone does feel like checking

 

[The Opinionated Lurker]

I admit I have been a massive Levy fan and by and large he has been good for the club in putting the infrastructure in place but the club looks tired now.
It was clear tonight that we are coming to an end of a chapter.
It’s time to go in a different direction and I honestly believe that the winds of change will blow through in the near future and that we will be under new ownership within 18 months.
Recruitment and squad management has been truly appalling and whoever is in charge is going to need to take a big financial hit if we are going to get back to the top table but it’s going to take at least 3 years, especially when you take into account the financially doped clubs we are up against.
Pretty depressing picture to be honest.

Stressing that I’m not wishing ill will on Lewis but no chance the club has new owners until he dies tbh. At this point the club is a cash cow for ENIC, no way Lewis wakes up in some sunny place wherever the fuck he is and goes ‘fuck I’m actually actively holding the club back now’.

 

[SpursSince1980]

Phew. Glad I didn't watch this. What a bloody shit show. I don't have an opinion obviously on the game, as I didn't watch. But clearly, the result reflects the effort of the players. And our last home game in front of our own fans (who haven't been in there for months), to a team that has nothing to play for, when we still have a chance to finish 6th... it is a fucking disgrace. Top to bottom.

This is funny to me only because of the image of Sam being on the touchline for us. He's never had a problem motivating his squads, that's for sure.

 

[Stoof]

All of them ****s. All of them can get in the bin.

 

[Phil-spur99]

I’m still stunned/frustrated that fans went, £60!!! Levy taking the royal piss. Large demonstrations outside old Trafford and we run to give him our money to watch that shite!!
We’ve been utterly shit for a long time now, he tried the ESL and we haven’t got a manager. He’s shown Sheer contempt for us fans, he knows we are like little crackheads who will feast on any scraps he leaves us. I’m so over his shit. The best stadium and training facilities are useless if you have a shite team.
“Taken our eye off the ball”
Fuck off levy, you knew what you were doing, hoping you could wrangle more out of a spent squad despite 2 managers telling you we needed to rebuild.
poch said it would be painful you’ve made it fucking excruciating!!

It is the old stadium and furniture point Poch was making. We’ve got an executive home and have patio furniture in the living room, a lilo in the master bedroom and a bucket in the bathroom.

 

[dondo]

But the sad reality is he knew there would be 10000 fans prepared to pay £60. If he new rhe fans wouldn't he would have reduced the price

Unless 42000 season ticket holders do something collectively nothing will change. But I'm also aware it's impossible to do that. There will still be 42000 season ticket holders so there's no impact to him financially

100% right but that’s not the way it should be, there shouldn’t be an endless line of mug punters

 

[sundanceyid10]

Been a fan for 47 years ive never been so embarrassed as i feel now as a Spurs fan!!! Ive not been on here for over a year because i over the years was always called out for being anti Levy but i could see what was happening in 2010 when we got Saha and Nelson on loan when we were flying and needed two top players just imagine!!! But now on reflection im not renewing my season ticket as there are more important things in my life the money could go on.. Enic and Levy have fucked our club right up, under Poch we will never see it ever again that good until the club is sold!!! Which aint happening because the fucking Spurs fans have no back bone the only club out of the Elite 6 not to really stand up against Enic the other 5 clubs put us to shame embarrassing. Tonight was the opportunity to tell Levy and Enic to fuck off refuse to go in the ground after charging £60 a ticket fucking shocking!! When clubs were charging £30 and sone letting the fans in for nothing!!! Our football club is a fucking shambles from top to bottom and me and you as fans are just as much to blame!! We are a fucking laughing stock!!!!!!

That sums ENIC and Levy if we ever do get close they wouldnt sanction a player to put us over the top. They would just think we are doing quite well revenue is good, all is well, maybe there is a lone we can look into.

 

[UncleBuck]

Temporary walkouts would be good. You don't even need to organise, much. Just say that at a particular minute in a game, all those who want to make a statement walk off the terraces for 10 minutes (no, not at half-time! ). Maybe the 61st minute. And do that a few times. The optics would be noteworthy.

Or boycott the concessions within the stadium. Don't spend any time on the concourses and spend your money on the High Road or the local area before you go into the ground. Go to a pub for a few drinks before the game and then congregate there after the game. Book a table at a local restaurant with some mates and have a sedate lunch. Or pick up a takeaway on the way. Don't buy any merch at the club shop.

There are things fans can do to impact revenue without having to boycott actual games, although that would be the best option.

It’d have to end with a 1, the 1st minute would be a great statement!

 

[TURKISH69]

Turkish - was wondering where you had gone to my like-minded friend!! Good to see you back!!

Yeah gave it a massive rest due to our club being so negative as ive been telling everyone for over a decade what was Levys plan but got ridiculed and abused even banned on here for telling the truth of the bigger picture. Enic and Levy have never had ambition on the field for our club just wanted to keep us there and there abouts to rake in the coin thats all it was for and still is for them a cash machine made billions off our badge our club which none of you me included have stood up for fucking disgraceful!! Well one trophy and most expensive tickets in Europe to show for it!!! Shambles laughing stock embarrassing fuck off Levy and Enic

But he get frozen out because he had the same thoughts as us fans. - The team is shit and we are t improving.

I've seen hoards streaming in 5 minutes after kickoff. Who'd notice???

And good to here from you also sorry for my manners???

 

[UncleBuck]

If there is all this secrecy about the new manager because he (or she) is in a job already then it better get announced as soon as this horror show of a season is over otherwise the poisonous atmosphere will take over all summer and into next season - we need to start with the purge and treating the infection - no time can be wasted!

Trouble is we’ve got all this England nonsense coming up now which really doesn’t help us.

 

[Aphex]

I would hold on. Today was the first time the majority of the crowd turned on Levy. If he doesn’t react after today then we really are in trouble. He simply has to. I can completely understand if you do but I’m going to give it one more year. I’ll see who we appoint first next week though before doing it.

Nah, nothing will happen, Levy has been here 20 years it's always the same old story. No doubt we will sign a few more Doherty's in the summer on cheap money. We won't compete with the top 4 in the transfer market. This isn't just a reaction to tonight either. I've thought about it a lot as was very close to doing it last year, I won't be going to many games at all next season so what's the point in renewing. I won't be able to sell my ticket on the exchange so it's just flushing money down the drain. It's an arse of a journey to the stadium anyway, and frankly I am sick of the sight of a lot of the squad.

That 1600 I won't be spending on the ST is earmarked for much better things. If somehow we get better again, I'll be watching from my sofa with no less enjoyment than if I was there.

I get football ownership run it a a business snd want to earn money but ENIC are really taking the piss in how blatantly they are doing this in the last few years

You make a more than compelling case!

I just can’t stand watching us on tv. I absolutely hate it. Watching that on tv today must have been horrendous. I wouldn’t have been able to do it.

 

[DiamondLites]

I honestly cannot fathom how another manager started Harry Winks in what was a must win game. Staggering
