Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham

[KingHotspur]

It also calls into question the fact that we went into the season without like-for-like cover for Udogie, and without replacing Son.

it’s just who we are mate

I think we have to bear in mind that Spurs fans paying to watch Spurs will have a different perspective from fans like me who just watch on TV. They are entitled to be severley pissed off by the dross served up.

Vicario is a very lucky guy to have his job considering his beyond amateur understanding of football. Porro needs to keep stum he is no position to criticise fans. Most of our players are young and inexperienced so I forgive them. Frank's job now is to stabilise the team and appreciate who he has available. Frank needs to focus and stop reacting to fan and media comments. Build your team.

I'm a match-going fan and I'm pissed off, but I'm also pissed off at fans booing Vicario.
He made a mistake and it's fine to criticise him for doing so.
Booing him and sarcastically cheering his clearances is bullshit, though.
How the **** is that going to help?
I expressed my displeasure to some nearby fans that disagreed...

Our average season ticket costs about £1,300, I think.
We've won 3 home league games since Bonfire Night 2024.
That's over £400 per win.

We played 3 games in 7 days last week and lost all 3.
We changed the system and formation for every game.
We pulled one back against Fulham and instantly made 3 subs and changed it again.

People around me were actually quite annoyed at it when it happened and I would concur it's totally counter productive.

Thanks for giving the cost break down as well, the wife asked about it and I lied.

If the club is bothered about "real fans" then they'd stop taking the piss with the pricing of memberships, season ticket, spurs play and match day tickets.

People paying £35 - £60 for tickets as it was at white hart lane and wembley aint gonna feel so distant from the club.
Pensioners and their families wouldn't feel so disconnected if there was still discounts in the long term for them.
If fans weren't charged £55 to be members only to be priced out of Category A games where ticket proces START at £70+ they might not feel disconnected.

I love going...my girls love going with me but we havent been able to go to a single league category A game since we moved... we regularly saw league games v Arsenal, Chelsea, City, United, Newcastle, Liverpool etc but thats a thing of the past for us.

Then there's the lunacy of management choices and sackings.
In the 18 yrs since Jol was disgracefully sacked we have had just 3 managers who have managed us for 2 complete seasons (Redknapp, Ange and Pochettino)...we've had 5 (Ramos, Sherwood, Mourinho, Nuno and Conte) who all failed to be given a whole season and one who lasted just over a season (AVB). The club disgracefully treated Pochettino, bizarrely sacked Mourinho a week before a cup final to distract fans and the media from their part in the ESL stupidity and approached 2076 managers before appointing Nuno, who was given 3 months. How they expect fans to keep patient when they behave this way is beyond me.

I never boo ... but if the players and manager don't like it then show passion and commitment on the pitch.
We have not turned up against Newcastle, Villa, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Fulham, Palace or Brighton home or away in well over a year...and by not turning up I mean put in shameful performances...this coupled with losing to Ipswich and Leicester at home and failed to beat wolves at home this season. Three wins in the last 20 home league games is disgraceful...so rather than slagging the fans off they need to take a long hard look at themselves.

It's a ****fest and in all honesty it'll continue until we properly support a manager in the long term

I agree with everything you’ve said but on this matter, whilst I do agree with the sentiment, I can’t see Frank as being the manager we need in the long term. He’s too similar to the man in the cloak.

You never rated him? Or just what you’ve seen from him at Spurs so far?

"Where's that fecker, Vicario?"

Things could have been a lot worse for him than boo's....

Sorry, I’ve never really rated him but I was hoping to see him do well at Spurs. But there’s nothing so far that convinces me he is the solution.

I appreciate he did well after 7 years at Brentford but he didn’t exactly excel in the PL with them.

I’m not calling for his sacking though. He needs more time to prove himself and he needs the Board to sign some players in January.

He’s meant to be a great defensive manager but our defence has gone Pete Tong recently.

That’s fair. I think he’s is lacking quality with the players he’s had available so far.

I am a bit worried about the defence under him though, I too was expecting things to be much tighter.
