Do you know what I love about this? He seems genuinely happy to be here and sees this job as an honour. A refreshing change from certain other managers that acted like they were doing us a favour. More power to him
#COYS
Absolute embarrassment. This was 10 mins ago just before I left the fanzone. And spare me the “few idiots” line, there’s thousands here singing it. I hope
#Eng
lose and I’ll happily watch it from the comfort of my own home nowhere near any of these morons. Shame on you
#EURO2024
I have genuinely waited my entire life for Arsenal to be this bad after decades of misery inflicted by their title-winning-ways... So you’re damn right I’m going to enjoy it while it’s happening 😝
#COYS
I will make absolutely NO apologies for being this excited.
@GarethBale11
brought me so much joy in a

shirt and I always hoped one day that he might come home. And quite frankly this year has been shit, so I’ll take any bit of joy I can find

Dear
@SpursOfficial
. Thanks for the hundreds of pounds worth of flights you just cost me. Nothing but a FULL refund (not ticket “credit”) for EVERY match not played at White Hart Lane will do. Your lack of communication in this is an absolute disgrace
#COYS
Utterly pathetic. You can blame poor officiating all you want but we were awful and deserved nothing. And also to our "modern" fans: this is a lesson in why you don't EVER get cocky before the derby
#COYS
When you celebrate so hard that a little bit of wee comes out. Holy fucking fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#COYS
PS to the supposed “fans” that left before full time: serves you right you twats
#plastic
German telly currently raving about Harry Kane and how he does so much more for the team than just goals. Why do certain sections of our fanbase still refuse to see what seems to be so clear to everyone else? 🤷🏻♀️
#ENG
#EURO2020
What a gorgeous antidote to all the bitching there's been on here. Here's an idea for transfer window moaners: how about you stop wailing about what we don't have and start recognising what we DO have - the best Spurs team in many of our lifetimes
#COYS
Some of the reaction on here are absolutely embarrassing. Sometimes it’s ok to just admit you got completely battered by a much better side, rather than constantly looking for a scapegoat. Grow up. Congrats to City, thoroughly deserved.
#COYS
#CarabaoCupFinal
Not one Liverpool player goes to Karius. Left to the Real players to console him. Yes he’s had a mare but the lack of class there just shows every reason that team doesn’t deserve the trophy
#ChampionsLeagueFinal
The fact that certain fan quarters on here really believe Bayern are basing their transfer strategy on how quickly Spurs did or didn’t submit a bid for a player is absolutely hilarious 🤣
Bottom line - if he wants to come to us, he’ll come. If he doesn’t, he won’t. Move on 🤷🏻♀️
I know that Poch doesn’t owe us anything after how terribly we’ve treated him, and I won’t hate him, BUT my football heart (what’s left of it) will break into a million pieces when it’s announced 💔
I’ve watched a lot of shit Tottenham in my 34 years as a fan, but I really think that might be the worst half from us in the derby that I’ve EVER seen. Appalling. Embarrassing. There are no words
#ARSTOT
#NorthLondonDerby
#COYS
The way a lot of Spurs fans behave on here has really alienated me from sections of our fan base. When did so much abuse (either to other fans or our own) become some acceptable?
I’ve just finished watching the whole of this and I can’t stress enough how important an interview it is. Please watch the whole thing, don’t just read headlines.
My heart goes out to Dele , I wish him nothing but love and success 💙
I’m struggling to find the words to put with this post but please watch my most recent interview with Dele. It’s the most emotional, difficult yet inspirational conversation I’ve ever had in my life. Watch the interview on

#ChampionsLeagueFinal2019
Absolutely love to see what mental gymnastics the Mourinho fanboys will attempt to defend that shambles tonight. Bad selection, bad tactics, bad heart. And it’s NOT a one off. This is bigger than any one player now
#COYS
While I massively sympathise with members trying to get tickets for new WHL am not entirely sure where all this new outrage is coming from. Has ALWAYS been this way - as member for 15 yrs before I got my ST I well remember hours spent trying to get tickets for any big game
#COYS
It doesn’t matter anymore whether you rate Mourinho or not still want him at the club (or not)
That team is either paralysed with fear of making a mistake or he’s lost them altogether.
There’s no other explanation for that embarrassment tonight. He cannot stay
#COYS
Honestly the state of some reactions on here. Last night was AWFUL make absolutely no mistake and I’m still fuming. But questioning Poch’s future and suggesting we’re in decline? Get a bloody grip
#perspective
#COYS
I tell you something though - we’ve come a long way that it’s United hanging on for dear life - time wasting, faking cramp - against us and not the other way round
#COYS
Half and half scarves at Wembley is an absolute bloody disgrace. Was very close to smacking the one guy I saw buying one 😐
#COYS
#NLD
#NorthLondonIsOurs
The fact people are blaming Vorm for the loss is pathetic. Without his saves it would have been 5-1. Formation wrong and most outfield players poor today. THAT’S what cost us
#COYS
I think the saddest thing for me about Eriksen’s impending departure is that I don’t feel anything. There was a time I’d have been devastated but he’s been so in effect absent the last 12 months I’m just not bothered anymore (1/2)
#COYS
Had to summon every bit of willpower I have not to go on a massive rant. So. Just this.
Dear Spurs:
You want us to believe you’re different from our teams before? That YOU Poch are taking us up another level? Then bloody well PROVE it. Win when it ACTUALLY MATTERS
#COYS
#Spursy
The journey was incredible, the memories will live with us forever. It wasn’t to be this time, but we’re only just getting started.
Thank you for your incredible support, we hope you’re as proud as we are.
We are Tottenham, we will be back.
I do wish some of our fans would actually listen to our manager....
"If we cannot improve our squad it’s better to keep it together. We believe in our squad”.
He has a point
#COYS
#DeadlineDay
Seen some incredible hot-takes on Kane the last 24 hours. He’s not staying because he wants to, he’s staying because City won’t pay what he’s worth. To think anything else is naive. I’m glad he’s staying because we’re stronger with him. But still
#OneOfOurOwn
? Not so much.
#COYS
I think flying back for today’s game is right up there with one of the stupidest decisions I’ve made but hey ho..... to dare is to do 🤷🏻♀️
#COYS
#TOTLIV
#GettingBattered
7 points clear of 5th in the league and playing Watford at home next. So I don't see justification for Palace selection. We could afford to drop points on Weds but we HAD to win on Sunday. I maintain my love of Poch but his lack of respect for the cups continues to pain me
#COYS
I like to think of Postecoglou as the new Martin Jol…. Cuddly, loveable and easily able to lamp the Arsenal manager should the need arise 🤣 here’s hoping for some fun on the football side too 🤞🏼
#COYS
People blaming the ref need to get a grip. WE as a team were utterly embarrassing today from missing chances to the red cards to the woeful defending at the end. Stop making excuses it wasn’t good enough
#COYS
Gave it 24 hours so I didn’t go into a massive Twitter rant. But so disappointed with a lot of fans in block 249 (where I sit). Constant criticism of almost all of our players and precious little singing even when we were on top. Why can’t people just back the team? (1/2)
#COYS
Big Ange is just so wonderful. No bullshit, complete openness and clarity, despite this whole situation being a baptism of fire for him. I think I’m in love 💙
#COYS
You can bang on not having strikers all you want Mourinho. But if you can’t set up a back line to properly defend at home AND if you do concede change the set up BEFORE 77 minutes it’s YOU that has to take responsibility for this one
#COYS
#shambles
Harry Kane says what most people know to be true (and say themselves) about our club and half our fanbase lose their minds….. if you think he’s directing those comments at the fans and not at Levy and the owners then your head needs a wobble 🤣
#COYS
On the way to Madrid Airport. As the taxi went past the Metropolitano our driver started chatting in Spanish about the
#UCLFinal
. We managed to explain we were Spurs and were there. His immediate response (direct quote):
“No handball!” 😢🤷🏻♀️
#COYS
Also (and I can’t believe this needs saying), there is no excuse to ever single out just one player for booing. Disgraceful treatment of Davinson today (following hot on the heels of Emerson earlier this season). Awful behaviour.
What is with all these Spurs lads fanboy-ing over the Gooners? Get a fucking grip, we’ve gone into derbies far more substandard to them than we are now (hello 1990s), they deserve nothing but hate and hopefully a humbling on Sunday (I can dream 🤣)
#COYS
That last 30 minutes has taken at LEAST five years off my life. Car crash of a performance. But oh my god ALL that matters is the result. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. Top London club. And 3rd place in our own hands. I need a lie down

#BringOnSunday
I ADORE Poch. I’d have him back in a heartbeat.
BUT (and it’s a big but) it’ll only work if Levy has learned his lesson and listens to people who have a better idea of how to build a squad that can compete, including when to cut your losses on players that don’t fit
#COYS
(1/2)
A massive MASSIVE win. Total carnage in places, red card undoubtedly changed the game but who cares really when it helps us score beautiful goals like that?! As for Bergwijn..... 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
#COYS
Huge HUGE credit to our boys tonight. They just kept going and going.... and going. And sometimes that’s what it takes. Thank god they don’t give up as easily as some of Spurs Twitter - we’d be doomed! 😂

Genuinely surprised to see so much negativity around Timo. It’s an easy loan, he’s got great mentality and personality plus he creates a fair bit for us. Add some more goals next season hopefully and its a bargain 👏🏼

I’d have 100% taken 5th at the start of the season and despite the drop off of the last couple of months there’s a lot to be excited about. Roll on the Ange years 🎉

Honestly all this constant raging about transfers is so exhausting to read. Can't everyone just have a bit of patience and assess things at the END of the window?! Pleeeeeease?

#WishfulThinking
So SO disappointed in Kieran Trippier. Playing for our club got you into the World Cup and the Champions League final. Poch improved you immeasurably as a player and fans wished you well when you left. Shitty shitty interview

Bayern Munich played in the

making a mockery of football. Shameful.
Following a request from Arsenal FC, the Premier League Board met today and regrettably agreed to postpone the North London Derby, due to be played at 4:30pm on Sunday 16 January.
Full PL statement ⤵️
Spurs have given me some of the moments and friendships of my life. I wouldn’t change the last 30+ rollercoaster years for anything. But if these European Super League plans go ahead, and Spurs remain a part of them, I’ll be done for good. Feel sick to my stomach today
Spurs are such a mess now it’s hard as a fan to feel any connection to the club at all. For all the business good Levy might have done over the past two decades, he’s utterly destroyed any legacy with his footballing decisions over the past 4 years. Awful.
Geeky personal tweet, but I've just successfully translated my first press release from German to English for a client, and I'm feeling really proud. 2020 has sucked, but improving my German skills to this level - given that I left school 20 years ago - is a big moment for me
