That’s pretty harsh from ange. That 2-0 loss is spurs supporters biggest result in like 20 years. Let them enjoy it.
Cant imagine being a current player or a future player and having to put up with a tinpot fanbase that actively cheers for your own demise. Absolutely abhorrent. Good luck attracting winners to a team like that. Ange has figured that out it seems
Imagine being a potential Spuds signing and seeing the fans reaction to the last few days. Not getting behind the team, not wanting to win, not turning up at the stadium and then selling your tickets to a better club. You’d wanna me mad to want to go there.
So annoyed at this childish mentality from fellow Spurs fans. If you really can’t take banter from your coworkers or whatever your reasoning is, you’ve got other issues to worry about. I don’t root for my team to lose. Maybe it’s not the popular opinion today, but I’d love to see that change.
Gotta say I’m a little surprised. I can certainly say I wouldn’t be *happy* if Tottenham won the title thanks to some help from Arsenal, but damn if Champions league football, money and new prospective signings were possible as a result of that win, I certainly wouldn’t be *cheering* a loss.
People joke about being “spursy” and having a losers mentality, but for the first time, we saw it plain and clear from the spurs fans. This is a mentality problem from top to bottom, and if this was Arsenal, I’d be genuinely more worried about my club culture than anything else at this point.
As a fan, seeing my club winning games, and making progress towards or winning silverware is the #1 priority for me. I’d much rather see Arsenal win than Spurs lose.
I would rather Spurs win the league and get Top 4 than both of us lose out. Imagine if we lost to Leicester in that 2015/16 season and celebrated in front of Wenger because it hurt Spurs…
It’s pretty wild seeing this. It’s one thing to post in twitter, it’s another to pay money to go, and to then celebrate losing in the stadium in front of your own players who put in a great shift today.
Seen clips of Ange snapping at a fan who was behind him, who was apparently telling him to throw the game. Not even in our lowest of the banter era would this have happened at our place.
He is right that it is really bad how much they were content with losing this game. Seen plenty argue in the coys sub that they threw games away earlier in the season so why is Ange suddenly wanting to win this one, I just have to wonder if they know what a winning mentality is? It isn’t something you can just switch off, even if you are failing in it.
Good first season for Ange but that press conference is him feeling what every Spurs manager ends up feeling. A culture change is required, whether he will be allowed to do so before either the fans or the owner force him out remains to be seen.
Only took him the entire season to realize exactly what Spurs as a club are, and what their fanbase is lol. I’ve followed multiple different sports for decades and I don’t think I’ve ever held a fanbase (or club, but really the fanbase) in as much pure contempt as I hold for Spurs fans.
Conte was right.
I like Ange, which isn’t saying much because I like most people, but he seems like a sound guy who has walked into an existential ambush of biblical proportions.
You Cannot Fix Spurs.
Spurs Are Spurs.
It reminds of a sketch from that Chris Morris show ‘Jam’, when there’s a couple with a dead baby and they call a plumber to fix it with pipes. You cannot fix this. Dead is dead. Spurs are Spurs.
Say it for the one millionth time this season my dudes; “Lads, it’s Tottenham.”
He’s out of touch with the fans imo
He’s a good manager but I knew from when he mentioned that nonsense regarding referees that he plays up to the media – we’ve suffered for it since
Hopefully he learns when to and when not to say this stuff
The number of ‘premier league’ flairs in this sub that are just Arsenal fans trying not to look salty is so funny
Spurs let you down? Welcome to the club mate
Should look at himself losing all them games and refusing to change tactically. You cost Tottenham top 4 not fans not caring losing to City
I hate when someone celebrates at our stadium. Five losses against proper rivals speaks for itself. Arsenal and City showed highest quality throughout the season, so Arsenal winning the league after City would have dropped (sorry for grammar) points at THS would be that shiny, ceremonial knife put into already broken heart.
I know you can’t be too aggressive against City at any time of the year (specially now) but lack of skill in attacking play was painful. And silent stadium just deepened it.
I am not local so I don’t how it looks like to live
in such deep rivalry from childhood but it feels kinda sad that hatred can poison one’s mind so much. And I am not saying Spurs fans are the worst, because I don’t expect other outcome from THIS scenario in e.g Rome or Glasgow.
Incredible tinpot club mentality! Imagine celebrating your own loss so your rivals won’t win the league rather than expecting to win and have a chance at UCL football. Shambolic!
Postecoglu has essentially been calling Spurs fans losers for 2 days given their mentality towards this game and some of them still shamelessly cheer getting beaten by City to confirm they’re not in the CL. More worried about Arsenal than themselves.
What was it Conte said?
>”Why? Because they are used to it here, they are used to it. They don’t play for something important, yeah. They don’t want to play under pressure, they don’t want to play under stress. It is easy in this way. Tottenham’s story is this. 20 years there is the owner and they never won something, but why? ….Fight for what with this spirit, this attitude, this commitment? What? For seventh, eighth, 10th place?
Think we know the answer.
The fans that are celebrating the loss are probably the same fans that are moaning in the summer time about the lack of money to invest or the caliber of players signed for the club.
Arsenal fans acting as if the roles were reversed that they wouldn’t want the exact same thing lmfao.
Tonight was not a mentality issue at all, Arsenal not winning the league is infinitely important than having a small glimmer of a chance of Champions League football next year. No one will talk about this game after this week but Spurs gift wrapping Arsenal’s first title in 20 years would’ve gone down in history.
We do need to be better as a club and are in the middle of a rebuild and hopefully Ange can get us where we need to be.
At the end of the day, Spurs gave it a good go. Fans can feel whatever way they want, can’t do much about it.
Bit embarrassing from Ange to be fair.
Talked all season about how top 4 wasn’t important and didn’t like the questions. Then he completely bottles it and says nothing. Suddenly pipes up trying to win their biggest rivals the league and slags off the fans.
Spurs won 3/9 after beating Villa. They don’t deserve CL football and the problems are with Ange, the club and the players.
Spurs were right to want to lose. They had nothing to play for.
I’m hoping this hissy fit is to make a point and clear out some garbage from the club. But blaming the fans when they’ve been great all year and supported him win lose or draw is just dog shit.
They might have had something to cheer about and play for if you hadn’t fucked it up already “mate”.
As neither a spurs nor arsenal fan this whole circlejerk is pathetic.
Both sides get to blame each other for each others inadequacies then get into a meltdown squabbling with each other. It’s gloriously pathetic.
But please, continue
Personally I don’t understand anyone who is more interested in hating your rival than supporting your own team so can understand why he is annoyed.
Postecoglu is deflecting from his own poor performance and refusal to adapt tactically this season. We were there for the taking when Spurs beat us 0-4, but Postecoglu spaffed away that opportunity. He’s perhaps the most overrated manager I’ve ever seen in the Prem. I’m not sure why the jurnos love him so much.
That said, two things can be true at the same time. Spurs fans remind me of those blokes that flirt with a lass and then slag her off when she rejects them. They started the game tonight cheering and supporting their team. But they really started partying when they were losing, pretending it’s what they wanted all along.
I’m a Villa fan, but seeing some Spurs fans celebrating the City goals was baffling to me. Not a good look at all.
