What the pundits & media are saying about us

[spursfan77]

People are sometimes very sly and praising the club on one hand and then having a pop ay the area that is the high road is my point .
If you want to praise the club then do so but you do not have to add the bit about the area because its irrelevant.
There are many grounds that I have been to that I have found the surrounding area intimidating like Liverpool/Everton/Man united/Leeds./glasgow/ but that is not the clubs fault or responsiblety .To mention areas around grounds in the way this man has is trite and his motive in doing so is as I say He praises the club but for some reason brings the surrounding area to mitigate his praise.

You weren’t in the conversation. Trust me, you’ve got the wrong end of the stick.

TBF you’ve explained it pretty clearly already you’re just wasting your time now.

 

[alexis]

Even forty years ago when we first moved just marginally out of London I was astonished at how many intelligent people were afraid of London. Perception is a weird things. Sure in any place there are areas to avoid and seeing people not like yourself is difficult for many people. Personally I find rural communities very scary and can't wait to be back in the safety of London

I find there’s more comfortable violence in the burbs where everyone knows each other.

 

[buckley]

If you have seen some of the journalists together in the pub on a jolly up in one of the old Fleet Street pubs then I think there was more chance of the locals being intimidated . A soft lot these modern journalist's

 

[Shadydan]

So someone dares to say something slightly negative about Spurs and some of you lot get on the defensive even though you weren't in the conversation.

 

[buckley]

If your in the wrong to give your own views no matter how misguided or anaemic then the whole point of these sights is lost .
If someone wants to have a pop at me because of my views I accept the criticism otherwise why bother posting at all .
I tell you the day everybody is in unison with the same views then sites like these are dead.
Its the sarcasm that gets to me the attitude that "I am right therefore you must be wrong"
How about you loosen up a bit and allow people like me to be stupid or ill informed.
The best way to deal with people you don't agree with is discuss the matter and point out there failings without the sarcasm.

 

[Lighty64]

I've had a few mates say pretty much the same thing. They don't like coming to Spurs, it's intimidating. TBH, for some people the place is intimidating at any time

didn't feel like that as a kid. okay I'm going back 45 years and it did start going downhill 10+ years later, especially after the Broadwater Farm riots. as a 10 year old I used to go to the Lane every week 1st team or reserves, now days you wouldn't allow a 10 year old out of your site without knowing they where with someone else. also when I started senior school I used to walk up Bruce Grove to Lordship lane to go to school at Sommerset Juniors.

It didn't feel like it because we lived there but it was rough, fights were a daily occurence even in junior school, I can't help thinking it's not that things have got rougher its that rough has been redefined to where what was normal isn't anymore.

Your average Brit is a lot less resilient than they used to be.

What’s made it worse these days are the fact people go out and buy knives and guns with the intention of using them. Yes when I lived there from 9-13 there was fights between schools or during school, had a few myself, but stabbing and shootings weren’t heard of or if they did they weren’t as published.

The thing is as a kid you don’t notice things and was to busy playing football, cricket, tennis or whatever was happening over the reck

 

[longtimespur]

AFAICR. Knuckle dusters, bike chains, hammers and occasional axe (was going to say chopper but...….) were the extremes I remember from back in my youth. Very rarely a knife and only the likes of the Krays were there guns.

Stop it I'm coming over all nostalgic.

Stop it I'm coming over all nostalgic.

what that many fights

can't even remember the name of the reck/park I used to go to, all I know it was next to the dustbin yard and once upon a time you could cut through to Tottenham Hale. the road at the bottom of my road Carew Rd, used to be a back road from just around the corner which you could get to Pickets Lock from

Tottenham news: Mauricio Pochettino ‘won’t last the season as manager’, claims Tony Cascarino
EXCLUSIVE

Mauricio Pochettino will not last the season as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, according to Tony Cascarino.

The talkSPORT pundit fears the Spurs boss may be the first managerial exit of the Premier League’s top six this term, following his frustrated comments about the club’s transfer policy.

Following Tottenham’s 1-0 pre-season victory over Real Madrid, Pochettino rekindled the doubts over his long-term future at White Hart Lane by admitting he has no influence on and ‘knows nothing’ about the club’s transfer plans.

Mauricio Pochettino has conceded he may need his job title changed from ‘manager’ to just ‘coach’ as he has no say on transfers

The north Londoners broke their transfer record to sign Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon earlier this month but no further signings have followed, despite chairman Daniel Levy vowing to strengthen the squad after signing a new £320m sponsorship deal.

And Pochettino hinted at his continued frustration over the lack of new quality signings after the Real win, saying the club should ‘change my job title’ as he just ‘feels like a coach’ rather than a manager.

It’s not the first time the Argentine has spoken publicly about the club’s transfer policy, having suggested ahead of the Champions League final against Liverpool in May that he may quit his job if he is not backed in the market soon.
And after his latest comments, Cascarino believes he may not last much longer.

Speaking to Laura Woods on Wednesday’s Sports Breakfast, he said: “We all question whether Frank Lampard will still be at Chelsea by the end of the season and if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will still be Manchester United manager next summer.

“But the one I feel is the more likely to go from the top six first is Pochettino.

“I look at Poch and I just feel from what’s happening and what he’s communicating, I’m not sure he’s going to be there at the end of this season.

“I just don’t see it.

“I think it was as good as it was going to get for them last year, with them getting to the Champions League final. They lost 18 or 19 games by the end of the season – that’s a lot of matches.

“I think he knows deep down the team isn’t there to win the title, they’re still 20 points behind the top two and I don’t see that changing next year.

“I think there’s an element of frustration that his imprint in the club is still not where he thinks it should be.

“He’s been at the club a long time and they haven’t won anything and there’s frustration in the way he’s talking.

“When he used the words, ‘now my job is the coach’, he’s sort of saying it wasn’t that when he first joined the club and he had a much bigger say on who came in, but now he’s saying he’s just given the players and is coaching them and trying to improve them, which he is doing.”

Fellow co-host Dean Saunders also said Pochettino needs to be careful about his public comments about the club, or chairman Levy may decide enough is enough and make the decision for him.

The Welshman added: “If you keep criticising your boss in public, if you keep embarrassing them and criticising the way they’re doing things, they’ll wait for the right opportunity to get rid of you.

“He’s got to be careful.”
