Unpopular Opinion thread

The champions league has ruined domestic football. It shouldn't be be called the champions league because teams that finish 4th, even 5th are in it ffs.

Marginal 'offside' goals, that would be referred to var, should be given without doing so. Give the benefit to the attacking side. Encourage goals, not borefest football.

Old handball rule to be reinstated. Hand to ball, none of this 'unnatural postion' complete nonsense.

Scrap the title 'premier league' because its pretentious and wank. Division 1, 2 etc etc. Its just a name but I've always hated it. It inflates the egos and makes a romance of what is essentially just a sport.

Sissoko is still a bang average footballer. He hasn't had a resurgence and pochettino didnt work miracles. He just changed his position. He is a monster athlete, but he struggles to do anything productive with the ball. (Occasionally). Hugeky overated.

Aurier is a car crash. I prefer Trippier. Dont see the fuss about kwp.

Come.at me bitches.

1) The only way Lloris is replaced as number 1, is if he leaves for a bigger club than us.
2) Our fans are delusional/don’t understand football and don’t realise how lucky we’ve been to have him for as long as we have. When he goes, if we replace him with Gazzaniga I’m tearing up @SargeantMeatCurtains’ season ticket. We would need to spend at least £50m to adequately replace him.
3) Trippier has never been that good and the only reason he looked semi passable a few years back is because we had a midfield that took the onus off the defence. This year, he’ll probably look better as there’ll be less defensive responsibility - doesn’t change the fact he’s the worst footballer at the club.

I think Lloris' form was at one point a big concern, but for the last few months of the season he's been back to his usual self a bit more. We'd really miss his ability to come out off his line though, there's only Ederson in world football who can match that ability from what I can see.

When Lloris does eventually decline, is sold or leaves then it makes sense to sign a keeper and let them battle it out with Gazzaniga who has deserved an opportunity. In that first season we can then assess who the 1 and 2 should be.

I still think Lloris wasn't punished harshly enough for the drink driving. Stripping him of captaincy for the rest of the season should've been the bare minimum.

I'm very disappointed. I thought my Sissoko point of view would cause outrage.

I'll try again.

Davies is a better all round player than Rose. (Just wish he was a little quicker). I do like Danny though.

pochettino wants kane to do too much. He cant play such a deep lying role and score goals like he did. Put him in the box and leave him there. Regardless of his passing.

Erm... I think there's a little Argie bias with Lamela. His injuries have severely hampered his progress and I've not seen any reason to keep him around, certainly not last season. Surplus now.

He pulled off some worldie saves in the CL quarter finals and semi finals

He was one of the main reasons we made it to Madrid in June

Any Spurs fan, except Spooky from DML, that says Spursy needs a slap.

A striker who is not content to sit on the bench and thinks he can beat Kane to the starting XI should be our taget in the next 2 windows.

Harry Kane cannot be trusted to tell the truth about his fitness.

Grown men, most of whom have the dress sense of Noel Edmunds, moaning about the kit designs is kinda sad

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

We have a devastating, long term, underlying, heavy injury issue that extends far beyond "bad luck", "normality", and "all clubs have injuries".

We have a very, very decent FBs and actual, obtainable upgrades that would satisfy Spurs fans are far and few in between.

Transfers have largely been mismanaged every year under Pochettino.

Lloris is outstanding.

 

[dtxspurs]

Too many of you see Spurs with rose tinted glasses,
Trippier will prove he is one of the best right backs in the country this season (if he stays)
Rose is not as quick as people think and is vastly overrated.
If Eriksen was world class, he would be able to get past the first man at corners and score more than on free kick a season.
Lloris is on his way down, his distribution is abysmal and he goes down too early for one on ones.
If our training ground/facilities are so good, why do we have so many fucking injuries.? And why can't we score more from dead balls?

We scored the second most goals from set pieces in the league...?

Judging by the top 40 download chart I’m going against the grain here and saying Ed Sheeran is a boring ****.

Either this or Poch dropped a huge bollock for the CL Final starting lineup.

Davies was carrying an injury/hernia problem but played thru the pain and he will be the better for it next season .
For me Rose was not with the programme from the " google the name " time and we would be better moving on with Davies being ok as no 1 left back.
Trippier for whatever reason regressed last year and his moving is not a disaster and Foyth will prove that he is a player to be reckoned with .
Unpopular opinion I know and I go as far as to say we will be better off without Rose and Trippier as they seem to be muddying the waters.
Just as Eriksen made it clear he wanted a career move and his mind was on Madrid and not on Tottenham then he to will not be missed as much as some seem to think and if De Celso rumours are true then we may be better off as I see Eriksen as a person that divides opinion dramatically as some se him as the Messiah and some see him as a player that has not been playing to the ultimate for more than six months plus he seems to have a demeanour of a miserable git who can't be asked to put in maximum effort.
For me I will never be able to forgive his ( could not care less attitude ) in the champions league final because a player of his ability not playing well you can forgive but playing like he could not care less I cannot forgive .

 

[punkisback]

We should have cashed in on Dele and Dier, I don't believe they have the technical ability or mentality to improve and take us to the next level.

True, i absolutely love him but he does piss me off when he does this, especially as he’s usually crap when he tries to play when clearly not fit.

 

[Clive Wilson]

Skipp will end up at Millwall or somewhere

Most of our fans will be disappointed with Ndombele this season

 

[Clive Wilson]

Every fan of every team thinks they are bad at set pieces and their main free kick taker is shit. One day hopefully it will sink in that the odds on scoring from a set piece are minimal and people will stop moaning.

 

[Spurger King]

The ‘You’re fucking shit’ and ‘Arsenal fan on a string’ songs make me feel ashamed to be a fan of the club, and embarrassed to be associated with the fans that sing them.

I think people who talk about the good old days of firms and fighting are knuckle-dragging pond life. Angry simpletons that should be behind bars for the safety of more evolved humans.

I agree. He does seem to have got away with it looking back on it. I thought he was treated leniently at the time but maybe it would have caused more problems at the time by making an example of him.

This is insanity - Dele is up there as having the best mentality at the club.

 

[punkisback]

I don’t think he has a bad attitude. In fact I think he has a very good attitude. But his lack of development in basic areas of the game, such as ball retention and passing make me think that he lacks that intelligent and focused mentality that someone like Kane or Rose have.

I loathe the "Arsenal Fan On A Stick" song too. It's childish, derivative and celebrates stupid mindless violence. And there's a much better song to the same tune.
