Despite Spurs form, I have been trying to get tickets for Arsenal and City this morning, and all tickets were sold out in 20 minutes.
The fecking ground aint big enough anymore. Everyone game is selling out this season in double quick time for some reason.
Highly frustrating, that for some reason everyone seems to want to go to watch Spurs this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The size of our support despite the lack of recent trophies and us being a hard watch is incredible. Those who pay a fortune to watch the dross we generally serve up (during a cost of living crisis) deserve great respect and have every right to boo the team off.
It seems the more unsuccessful we are the more we gain support, it must be gallows humour!

Yep. We win nothing, yet are so well supported.
The majority of our CBs and WBs are so bad on the ball. Their touches and passing and general technique is painful to watch
No manager could make the likes of Emerson and Sanchez good with a football. Then again Conte is the one picking these players
I'm not sure what the solution is. Rationally I think Conte is doing a good job with the players at his disposal. But I don't feel that excitement when we win. As a fan I should feel that
Levy needs to take a leaf out of Arsenal's book and accept taking hits on a lot of the duds we have. We can't rebuild properly while certain players take up spots and wages

None of them can play out the back apart from Romero and I suppose Lenglet. All of them are f** useless.

The defence is bad…
Lloris cannot kick a ball, takes far too long to either throw or kick the ball out.
This puts pressure on the defenders when they receive the ball from him.
The defence themselves panic when they receive the ball… with the exception of Romero. Sanchez actually looks petrified of the ball.
The wingbacks aren’t doing their job, they’re supposed to do..
Doherty, Royal, Davies,Sanchez are nowhere near good enough for a team playing champions League…
Dier is just average, but organises the defence… Romero is decent. Don’t know what to make of Lenglet.
The team still needs major investment. Conte is right about this, for sure!
I cringe whenever Lloris gets the ball to his feet and so do the defenders. Even the crowd feels it. I have never known a keeper to be so poor with his feet.

We tried to sign better centre backs but no one wanted to sell the players we wanted, the club tried, can’t force someone to sell.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is funny how other top 6 clubs rarely have any problem acquiring the players they want, they go out and pay what is required, even if it means paying slightly over the odds. If you want top quality you have to pay for it, this is where Levy fails every time, he is too tight to go the extra mile for top players.
Every player has a price but Levy rarely meets it. It is also a vicious circle, we won`t pay for top quality and then get cheaper alternatives who turn out to be rubbish and we end up stuck with them.
Even Woolwich have had a better transfer window than us and they had no CL to offer players, vintage Levy.
