In short
Post-match reaction to Bournemouth’s 3-2 win over Tottenham, with Spurs fans calling the club “rotten,” blaming directionless ownership/management, and demanding Thomas Frank’s sacking.
Key claims
Spurs have had “terminal” form for two seasons; opponents know they can beat them; the club lacks fight, cohesion, and quality; recruitment has been “bottom-feeding” and too many world-class players have left; Frank is “dull,” focused on self-preservation, and allegedly disrespects fans by drinking from an Arsenal cup pregame (claimed real after checking Getty).
Notable examples
Antoine Semenyo scores an injury-time screamer in his last game before moving to Manchester City; Polinius scores a speculative goal; Spurs concede after going 2-1 up early.

1:28Ugh. details.
1:36If, if there's a narrative to be had, Spurs, well, for the opposition that is anyway, Spurs are, they're going to give it you, aren't they? Antoine Semenyo walks off into the, into the Bournemouth sunset, the hero, give him their first win in 11 games. Is it? of course he scores an injury time screamer against us boyhood arsenal fan spurn spurs this transfer window inexplicably plays one last game for the club after apparently already signing for city or whatever i don't know you know of course that happens of course he scores of course we lose again of course bournemouth win their first game in however long I'm I'm really I'm livid tonight I really am annoyed
2:43I just like there's no there's no fight there's no fight in this lot like there just isn't A bit of a sort of, what, spirited few minutes. Polinius scores again a speculative goal. Pretty unbelievable goal, to be fair, for him.
3:06But then just instantly you feel like something's going to happen. It's going to happen the other way. As soon as they went 2-1 up at the start, you know, we got our early goal. Tell went off script, didn't he? Cuts inside, shoots early, gets a goal. Funny how that happens, isn't it? Shoot at goal. Goal is sometimes scored. There's some notes for you, Thomas.
3:35And as soon as they went, you know, they got their two goals. Was anyone at any point thinking we were going to come back into it? Really? Did anyone think we were going to win it? Honestly, no. is there anything about this club, this team, this manager that makes you think we are that team anymore? And people don't want to hear it. People, when I sort of float this thing for the most part, will say, not a chance. Don't be ridiculous. We're in serious trouble. We're in serious trouble. My whole life we've spoken about Spurs in the 90s, in the noughties, how bad that was. Oh, God, that was the nadir of Tottenham.
4:27And we reflect on that. We talk about how terrible it was. We think about, like, Jürgen Klinsmann saving us away at Selhurst Park, Wimbledon.
4:40And that's always the flaw, isn't it? That's always been the flaw. We build up from there. We're back there. We're worse. we haven't got a Jurgen Klinsmann now. We haven't got anything close to that. We haven't got a Teddy Sheringham. We've got nothing, man.
5:04People can bury their heads in the sand for as long as they want. Our form is terminal. And it has been for two seasons now. We're appalling. Teams know they can get us. And if we don't go, if we're not in serious trouble this year, People say, no, no, no, it's fine. It's fine. This team's worse than us. Are there? Are there actually? Honestly, are there really? Are there teams that are, right, Wolves?
5:34I don't see us as miles better than West Ham at all.
5:41I think you're naive if you think that Spurs are not really in danger. really in a lot of trouble right now. I'm not saying we're definitely going, but what I'm saying is this season can get very uncomfortable. And if there isn't a wholesale change at the club, the outlook, the ethos, the playing staff, all of it,
6:11next season could be the one. It could be it.
6:18and I don't even think this is just reactive Spurs have not done very well today Fan loses his head and says something ridiculous I don't think it's that ridiculous I think it's ridiculous if you I'll put it back at you I think you are ridiculous if you don't seriously take a look at the way Spurs' form has been trending these past few years I think you're ridiculous if you don't consider that we now have people running the club that have minimal experience running any type of football club, let alone a club of this level.
7:02I don't know what to say, man. I know people often come here for the post-match therapy, the funny whatever, talking about a theme hospital or greetings cards or something. I haven't got it in me today, man. I just don't have it in me. Like, I can't take this. I can't take this much longer. I can't take seeing Spurs this bad. It's as bad as we've ever been in my entire life. I can sit here and moan about Thomas Frank this manager hasn't done this it's not just about him the whole thing feels rotten the whole thing just feels done
7:49what can I say other than the things I say and have been saying for genuinely like the past decade like You know, like we just sort of cling on to this, at least many people do, cling on to this naive sense that we're somebody because we're Tottenham Hotspur and we've got this stadium and we're in London. It doesn't matter, man. If anything, that acts against us. That makes people want to beat us. And the problem is now, and people always wanted to beat us, and they tried extra hard to beat us when we actually had a good team. Kane, Son, Eriksson, Ali, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah people people went above and beyond to make sure that spurs didn't actually achieve anything
8:38and what did the club do one by one by one by one world-class player leaves world-class player leaves world-class player leaves transfer window after transfer window after transfer window what are we doing bottom feeding opportunistic deals just packing the squad full of took players and then we're surprised that we end up here yeah Thomas Frank boring Thomas Frank drunk from an Arsenal cup before this game quite weirdly it doesn't it doesn't seem to be AI it doesn't seem to be photoshopped if you've not seen it it's very very bizarre I don't get it. I don't get what, you know, what's going on there.
9:22Like, why is the manager of Tottenham Hotspur drinking from an Arsenal cup before a game? If somehow this isn't some elaborate, elaborate Photoshop. It could well be, the jury could be out, but the signs are not looking good. It's bizarre. People can say it doesn't matter. People can say, grow up. These things do matter. Of course they matter. The optics of it are terrible. We're talking about a guy that everyone's complaining, doesn't understand the club, doesn't get the values and then ahead of a game like this is drinking from an Arsenal cup maybe it's fake I'm not going to waste much more breath on that one if it is fake then it's fake and whatever but it doesn't take away from the point that Thomas Frank is just a strange uninspiring chap um who halfway through a season seems to be more interested in self-preservation than he is actually giving the club some hope giving the fans something to believe in fine all right whatever But again, yeah, it's not all on him.
10:19What are we on now? January the 7th. Really any tangible links for Spurs buying any new players? No. A few 18-year-olds. 18-year-old Brazilian left back. Some sort of left winger lad that we're apparently in competition with Anderlecht for. That's the pool we're swimming around in, you know? Like, that's what we're doing.
10:46You know? You can cling on to this sense that, like, no, no, no, it would never happen to Spurs. It would never happen. We'll spend. Will we spend? We haven't done. We haven't done. We don't. Not properly. I mean, maybe we will. You know, there's a long time to go in January, really. It'll go surprisingly quickly, but... I don't know, man. I just, I feel a bit defeated today. I feel a bit defeated. I feel wound up, I feel annoyed after that game. I think, again, it's another loss. It's another predictable loss. I thought we'd lose this game ahead of it. You sort of give your head a shake. You think, come on, come on, be a bit hopeful.
11:33That's not the attitude, all that type of thing. And then, look, we go and lose. Of course you do. The headlines are Antoine Semenyo scores in his last game before going to Manchester City. it's at Spurs' expense again of course it is of course it is you know I'm just tired of this man I'm tired of it's just being that club that just does that like it just rolls over for for other clubs for other players lets other people have the like the nice ending you know it's constant man
12:16so my phone's making all sorts of noises in my pocket i think it's like voice activated stuff let me just try and sort that out um
12:31do you want man like
12:37I think we're in trouble I think we're in trouble I think the club is directionless I think the people in charge have no clue I think the manager has no clue I think the majority of players in this squad are crap. I do. Can't be arsed to sugarcoat it anymore. Can't be arsed to brightside it. I think the majority of them are crap. I do.
13:04Yeah.
13:09Sort of, I just feel a bit defeated tonight. I do. Delphicronix says, come on, lad, let's get this out of our system. Totti Royal says this should be fun. Echisonic Music says wow, just wow. A team with the muscle memory failure. Yep. Rob Stone says group hug. Can do, mate, if it makes you feel better. El Gajo says every passing day is another drip of water in the Chinese water torture. That is Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Coise McCoy's face says it's time to go.
13:49what's the someone who's just said I've just seen the City score what's going on
14:00and Man City have drawn at home to well Arsenal won the league we know we know Arsenal won the league like they have done like just like don't do you know what I mean get it out of your system now you don't want to hear it you don't like me talking about them but they're a team that have said they want to win stuff they've backed the manager heartily, they've bought actually good players that are high quality, they've given players massive wages. You know? What do you think was going to happen? They've done everything, literally everything, we have wanted our club to do. With their Pochettino, and I hate even making the equivalence between Arteta and Pochettino, but that's what it is.
14:47they have backed their Pochettino and look they're reaping the rewards and they're going to probably going to win the treble or something and we're going to go down you know here's what you could have won
15:03again it's one of those things like you don't want to hear me talk about get over it get over it they're a well run club and they're going to reap the benefits of that that's what it is you know we spend our whole lives getting behind Manchester City and hoping that they you know managed to stop Arsenal that type of stuff we can just accept the fact that they've done it the right way they've done everything that we wish our club would do but we don't because the people in charge of the club are losers they are they're losers and they're fleecing everybody and they're taking the majority of fans for mugs charging some nice expensive prices in the country to go and watch this gruel look at this it's pathetic man it's pathetic replace harry kane with dominic celanke like oh and richarlison sorry yeah an opportunistic deal for richarlison harry kane the greatest player in the club's history
16:07Mr. Stephen Stotch says the worst we've ever had from the tactics to how he belittles the club in press every week telling us we're not a top club anymore to the Arsenal Cup today a tiny thing but get him gone yeah but get him gone and whoever else comes in what Deserby Marco Silva wee great fun Just Keith shocking again not even surprised anymore yep Bill G says he has to go, blood. Dan Strickland says, I hate this team. I was born into this. I'll never stop supporting Spurs, but I hate them. John Benfield says, Charlie Parrish summed it up so well. It's a load of blokes trying to run as far as they can up the field before they're tackled, hoping that they're either fouled or win a corner.
16:56Hashtag Frank Ball. Yep. Pirate Dread Roberts says millions and millions of pounds, Jack. millions he's a he's a millionaire if he gets sacked now he's a multiple millionaire he's going to turn out one of the most abysmal abominable performances a manager has ever turned out at this club he might as well have he might as well have literally pulled down his trousers and pants squatted on the sideline and curled one out and pointed at it and said enjoy that you cretins and he would be a millionaire. He could probably literally do, I mean, maybe that would be gross misconduct and the club might have, I'd be interested to know if there's any legal eagles, any legal boffins in the chat right now, can let me know.
17:46Would that qualify? Would passing feces on the sideline of a Premier League match, would that class as gross misconduct with the club? I mean, it would be gross. Would the club have to pay him off for that? I don't know. Interesting. But yeah, for this metaphorical pile of excrement, if he gets sacked, he will be a multiple millionaire. All those replica shirts and, you know, novelty Tottenham Christmas hats and things that you just sort of think get on a whim. Oh, look at that. Look at those drippy gums they've just released in the club shop, eh? it's got it's it's a blue jumper but he's got an old badge on it here here you go here's 80 pounds of my money here's 80 pounds go on have it have it it's got the old badge on it it's got the old but it's blue and it's got the old badge and yeah there's 80 pounds and you know what that's going in thomas frank's pocket millions of millions of those pounds
18:56Jack Underhill says, I genuinely felt nothing when Semenyo scored except annoyance at Vicario, yapping and flapping as per. Ratchet Rabbit says, the only hope I have after that is that he sacked. Totti Rawls says, October the 19th was the last time Bournemouth won. Ricochet Pig says, to make it all worse, City are doing their best to bottle the title. Yeah, but they're done. It's done. Kugo says, this Semenya stuff doesn't happen to any other club. Also, there's literally no argument to keep Frank anymore. Yep. Ben Mathias says, shocking performance aside, he should be sacked for the picture of him drinking out an Arsenal cup.
19:37Don't care if that's wobble-headed. It's a piss take. I agree, mate. I agree. You know? It's what it is, man. People like, you know. I don't know if you saw like there was some thing with the Celtic manager that got sacked. His tactics board was blue and red or whatever. You know, like the pins that he used. Celtic fans were kicking off about it. Do you know what I mean? It's not. Football fans are simpletons. We are. Like we all are. You know, it's tribal. It's base and it's stupid and it's silly. But without that, we are nothing. It's those stupid, intangible emotional links that elevate this past just, I have an iPhone, I have an Android phone.
20:24Ha ha ha, let's have a minor comical disagreement about the route in which we take to open up WhatsApp or whatever. You know? Like... They say you should learn something new every day. Like how you should only drink Jägermeister at zero degrees Fahrenheit. Ice cold. Like those frozen cavemen they find. Which makes you wonder, what would a caveman think of Jägermeister? Well, if you served it warm, he'd probably throw it in your face, say, Oonga Boonga, and storm off. And nobody wants that. So drink it cold or not at all. Jägermeister. Damn, that's cold. Drink responsibly. Jägermeister liqueur, 35 % alcohol by volume.

You can say it means nothing to see a Tottenham manager, you know, glibly smirking as he drinks them an Arsenal cup ahead of a game when we're, you know, in abysmal, pig-terrible form and he's getting booed week in, week out.
22:20But then I don't think this is a sport for you. But again, it might just be a Photoshop. This all might just be an elaborate hoax. So I need to start. My head keeps falling off about that. It's just a paper cup with an Arsenal crest on it. But it means something, doesn't it? Stel Morrison says, The TV cut from Iriola to Frank. This is where we are now. Mid-level, mid-table fodder. This is Tottenham. Jan M says, Nothing. Nada. Niente. No cohesion. I can't see where we're going at all. Yep. Bang on. Brian Park. Eze Hat-Trick against us. Semenyo farewell. What next? What next? Spurs getting relegated a year, Arsenal win the league again?
23:10You know, maybe. Jack Underhill also says, Tell's effort and attitude is top, top, top, as Frank would say. Mwani couldn't give an F, though, could he? Peter Turner says, We are inevitable. Oli Whitefoot, I'm 44, been supporting since 87. This is the most detached-disillusioned I've felt with the club, maybe ever. don't feel anything for these players right now no and i agree with you mate i'm of a i'm of a similar similar sort of you know era to you and i guess i guess the sort of the the thing is you know that sort of 90s period of being a bit whiffy of things kind of you know on a bit of a slide we were maybe a bit too young to fully appreciate it internet didn't exist then we weren't having Arsenal sort of success rammed in our face in quite the same way.
Read the full transcript
24:05Although, you know, our club captain did end up going there and winning the double. So, you know, I just, I always felt like, mate, even back then there was a bit more hope. Like there was just, there was something, wasn't there? And Spurs have pretty much always had, I've said this before on here, but one of my old mates um Jay if you're watching he he said to me sort of back in the day he said the thing that's annoying about Spurs he's West Ham but the thing he said is the thing that's always annoying about Spurs is you're crap but you always usually have one like world-class player and you sort of you can track it can't you you know whether it's Klinsman, Sherinham, Berbatov, Ledley King, someone aside forth right we've usually always got somebody that's just unbelievable a baller that can drag us out i don't think we've got that i don't think we've got any i don't think we've got anything close to that anymore nothing there's nothing on the horizon is vizcovic going to come through and save us maybe don't know some people worry about his physicality um his ability to adapt to the premier league especially in the sort of systems that are you know implemented in the premier league nowadays but other than that you know Who is that?
25:25James Madison? Does he come back next season? You know, didn't do less than much good, did it?
25:39Area 7000 says he should be fired for drinking from that Arsenal Cup pregame. Stel Morrison says Frank is dull and uninspiring. Watch his press conferences and you can feel the boredom in the room. He looks like a background character from a Tolkien book. Lots of spells, but no magic. Matey B says, biggest group of unlikable, talentless players in all my years supporting. Led by a bloke who is the biggest PE teacher fraud in the league. I hate this club. Pathetic. Honestly, mate, I hear you. I really do feel like this is by far the most dislikable group of players we've ever had. most dislikable ensemble of players we've ever had and they won as Europa League right you know
26:33James Nicholson losing has become normalized not sure how that changes what I would do is give Potch a massive contract for the summer and do the caretaker thing until then yep John Nemitz says I thought that was our liveliest attacking performance in a while regardless of Frank in out I enjoyed watching large swathes of that for the first time in a long time today there you go there's some hope poking through glad you enjoyed it Jordan Juan Hodges says Frank looks beyond lost on the sideline an absolute fraud that being said our team is muck mismanagement of the club from top to bottom for the last five or six years could we go down yeah I think we could genuinely think we could so ecasonic music said just remember that i've dropped a load on three tickets for saturday crap yeah
27:30james reed says we genuinely feel like a club on the precipice of disaster data vibes metrics all of it trending downwards another six weeks of this p.e teacher and we'll be scrapping in the trenches with West Ham. I honestly believe that. I agree with you, mate. You know, our fixtures coming up in February are disgusting. They're disgusting.
27:58Jed Watson says, you're actually spot on about relegation and we deserve it. We've been embarrassing for two years and it says a lot that there's been six teams worse than us in that time. I can't quite believe it.
28:11James Reid also says the whole country will rally together and practically blow the ball into the net every week if that bad thing happens if we get relegated they will celebrate like it's a royal wedding bang on absolutely spot on Totti Rule says Rando Kalamawani is trash I think he's got talent but you know what's the point he doesn't care you know sj booth says are we allowed to voluntarily take relegation um dj tucker says danny rose was right five years ago we've said i mean it's a bit longer than that ago now mate talking about a decade ago now danny rose was right five years ago we signed promising nobody's not one signing has been better than the last player um who i don't know left i guess um ricochet pig says wolves are catching up canine mcgurn says i lost to villa in the fa cup on saturday uh sunday isn't it i think no it's saturday sorry you're right uh lost to villa in the fa cup on saturday and the season is over um alan leslie says that result and performance was worrying but so so predictable i can't listen to a single word frank says brian park says i also think this is the most unlikable spur side of my lifetime we've got a guna ceo our managers a p teacher a mid-table squad we need a big overhaul peter tennessee's on the brighter side if we get relegated we would challenge for a title mate we'd come second and you know we would we'd come back up but we come second i'm telling you
29:59mjbthfc1991 says i'm a lot angrier than i thought i'd be i was disillusioned by most of this season but i cannot stand what we've become it's exactly where i am mate like i just i can't i can't stomach this anymore i can't take it it's miserable don't care like cast whatever aspersions anybody wants to at me about bottle and this and that i'm tired of watching Spurs be this bad it's painful man like it's horrible it's painful
30:32James Glanfield says what is the point in this pathetic club owners, managers, players all pathetic Budget Man United banging trouble Ricochet Pig has also said agree Jack we're on a slippery slope
30:49John Lacks says It's Cupgate question mark. Cupgate indeed. We'll see. Matey B says, it's on Twitter that Van Der Ven gave it to the fans. It's our fault again. Our fault we only score from corners. Our fault we can't defend. It's our fault the players walk around with their hands on their hips. I thought he was. You know, I saw at the end when, I saw him like gesturing and all this type of stuff. You know, like, tired of this lot, man. Like, I really like Mickey Van Der Ven, but that's a serious misstep from him. And let's not forget he's the player that's sulked off the pitch in public, past the manager, whatever we think of Thomas Frank, you know?
31:27Like, he's not exactly showering himself in glory as a professional this year. But it's fine, you know, go and do your interviews with Gary Neville and all that and talk about how you want to be the best centre-back in the world. Why don't you try, like, keeping your eyes on the man you mark him for once? So maybe you won't have to make so many last-ditch tackles, you big, fast Dutch horse.
31:50really 82 says i've run out of ideas and thoughts
31:56um

32:39Phil Mayo I've watched Tottenham Hotspur football club go backwards from a free kick today yeah Brett Nurse says we're the equivalent of an overcoached under 11s team so much potential energy and presumably reasons to impress from our younger players and they've been strangled to death by this manager Bini Guy says Thomas Frank sacking imminent we can only hope so So, Billie G says, no Seth Rogen impressions again until the threat of relegation is removed. Fine by me. I've also been saying, Jed Watson says, I've also been saying to my mates, we're primed to go down within the next three to five years.
33:21Ownership haven't got a clue. Don't go CEO. Consistently bad managerial and player signings. Don't know how it turns around. This is it. I don't, it just feels, it feels like there's absolutely nobody at the club who has a clue absolutely nobody james forster 6882 says this seems to be the accepted norm now with the club it's sad to see how much losing doesn't seem to matter anymore
33:50the g now says the arsenal cup picture is not fake it's on getty i'm just wondering if it's like inception i'm wondering if like the getty image has been faked that's just my last maybe tell you what let me i'm going to look at because this makes for awesome podcasting content i'm going to search now on getty images let's have a look right except thomas frank bournemouth see what getty images okay right so this is all just i've now got some pictures of like the uh the coastline and stuff maybe i need to get to like getty sport let's have a look
34:30here we go right thomas frank bournemouth i'm selling this once and for all because uh you know it's important to do that isn't it what is it 7th of january today isn't it yeah right let's uh how can we sort this out by like the latest i've got loads of rando pictures from newest there we go right so yep it's true it's real i'm i'm literally i'm telling you now i'm looking at getty images right now
35:09i'm going to put the link i'm going to put the link on twitter thomas frank is drinking from an arsenal cup pre-game
35:22that is bizarre here is the link to the frank image for anybody saying that it's a fake get rid of him what's he doing it's stupid and it's ridiculous it's stupid yeah all right i guess you could probably say fans are stupid and ridiculous for being annoyed about that, but that's what it is. That's the rules. That's what football is, you know? You don't come into football and expect to change the rules. Like, fans hate their rival clubs. This manager is, you know, on his last legs as it is, and he's decided to have a big smile on his face and drink from an arsehole cup before the game. It's stupid.
36:10It's stupid, and it feels like he's taking the piss.

38:00Brett Nurse says, everyone stare at a photo at the front of the stadium and say, sacked Thomas Frank three times and it probably still won't happen until several weeks too late
38:16James Regal Comedy says Jack you're unlucky um Alf analogy was spot on just like in the sketch you can see the disaster coming you know the joke will happen and it's always always does that's from the fast show have a look at our knuckle oh boogie um it's just Tottenham you You know, Bob Rudge says, I hate to say this, but the disastrous decision-making of this club and disgraceful attitude of these players almost deserves relegation. I know what you're saying, mate, as a concept, but I don't want that. You don't want that. Fans don't deserve that, you know.
39:01I've got to say I really am sick and tired of this whole like they do deserve it it's some of the most toxic absolute bollocks they're some of the most toxic fans going they charge the highest prices in the country to go to games they turn out they pretty much fill out the stadium week in week out the away end is always full always vocal always Come rain or come shine, that away end is bulging, bulging.
39:34Always in full voice, always behind them.
39:39Yeah, it's become that sort of, you know, the sort of the... The en vogue thing now, isn't it? The Spurs fans this, the Spurs fans that. Let's have a meeting at half-time against the Spurs fans. Thomas Frank telling us who's a real fan or who's not.
40:04Muldie Pickle says, For years I've heard that we're a championship club without Kane and Son. It's not looking too far away now. Yep. Mega Major Danger says, The club culture is rotten from top to bottom. You don't lose 22 league games if it isn't. Frank doesn't have the knackers to turn it around. the players don't respect him call it a day now yep wilson t says it's done jacko but langer needs to follow him as well we'll see
40:36hacker cps says relegation fiorentina are nicking our sporting director ridley82 says when we got xavi over the line i thought it was all change yeah I mean he was pathetic today as well he was awful but you know I'm not going to single hit him I mean I just sort of did didn't I but
41:00it's Greasby said the manager is actively taking the piss out of us now that cup has sent my head to Mars yeah like and too right you know too right
41:28Jack Kenny says Frank is a problem I haven't got fifth with effectively the same squad just need to have some effing testicles and take it to the team our players are much better than Bournemouth's Richard James says, my dude, we are so bad. Supercoys1882 says, remember when we were hearing Kane might come back? Lol. Yeah.
41:54John Lack says, stop buying West Ham level players, but marketing is like Man City. Yep. Richard James says, where's our happy ending? Honestly, mate, it was Bilbao. I've spoken to, I think you won't mind me saying this, me and phil have spoken about this as well there's that part where we're like that was it wasn't it sonny winning the cup we sold our souls for that that's what we got lovely and now here we go beelzebub and all his minions are wreaking havoc upon us the demons are you know
42:43fouling upon the pitch um
42:56jm112 says how come the ball guy that's always on the touchline never gets that yeah like hench brad friedel um yeah i don't know dan strickland says what happened to byob you could use that right now um ben haynes got really famous really famous and really busy so you know it was fun though i loved it i loved doing that but uh you know there we go uh rob doherty said you can just filter to to newest yeah i did sorry that's about the getty thing um ali rajah says so let me get this straight frank leaves brentford they get better we get worse yeah bang yeah
43:45t gardener says the cup has to be photoshopped it's not mate it's bizarre sackable offense genuinely is rob doggy says we're not stupid for being annoyed by that it's a lack of respect for for us it is it is a lack of respect
44:12delpho chronic says i'm a spurs fan because my uncle made me a because my english uncle made me a Spurs fan he could okay right yeah I'm not reading that better um Alistair Gold has just asked Frank about the cup he's not amused Pip Walker says that's a stunning lack of awareness from someone who is supposed to be a details guy um Ali Rajah says top four five is ripe for the taking more than it will be in the future probably this manager just can't capitalize on it
44:53Brendan McGurty says Brentford are smashing everyone and performing to levels far beyond they were under him he was clearly holding them back Zorba the Greep says Tumbleweed I guess maybe I was doing the Getty thing then apologies
45:11Jeremy Kinsella says Paddy Power I've just tweeted, Mickey van der Ven has offered to fight Spurs fans. What a club.
45:23I think I've done, I don't know. I just think I've done enough moaning tonight. This is,
45:34this is, this is a mess. Frank's got to go. Like the cup thing, the cup thing's the end of it. Like it was said there, it's just a total lack of respect. It's a total lack of respect for the fans, for the club that he's managing. You can call it silly. You can call it whatever it is. But that is what it is. Football is stupid. Football is tribal by its very nature. You know, I'm not going to apologize for my head falling off about that.
46:08It's just another miserable evening. We've lost again. We've done the predictable thing. It's just, it's pitiful. It's pitiful. And unless there is a serious overhaul in, as I say, the mentality, the playing staff, probably the backroom staff, all of it, there needs to be a drastic shakeup at this club or we are going to continue to be in a lot of trouble. And the trouble is going to get worse. You can bury your head in the sand about it. you can call me deluded you call anyone else saying the same thing deluded but this has been signposted for quite some time think about all those seasons where harry kane literally dragged us into decent enough positions scoring goals us winning games that we had no right to do he ain't here anymore you know and don't we all know it this is what we're left with it's a it's a shocking state of affairs and it's uh you know it's a it's a it's a managed decline it's an ownership that has taken the piss for too long they thought they were smarter than everybody else they thought they'd always and forever be able to fill that stadium yeah they they ignored the fact they ignored the fact that you know lots of fans i'm not saying this in a derogatory I'm not saying this as a judgement, I'm not saying this I'm just saying it for the pure fact of what it is they ignored the fact that a lot of fans who weren't Tottenham fans came to the stadium to watch Son Hyun Min that's something that kept the stadium full for quite a while, they ignored the fact that people wanted to watch the likes of Son Hyun Min anyway Spurs fans you know, you want to see the best players in the world playing for you, they want to see Harry came playing but transfer window after transfer window after transfer window we hedged our bets we tried to play silly buggers we always missed out on our so-called top targets players were always a bit too expensive wages were always a bit too much spurs are linked with this player all right everyone gets excited towards the end of the I always thought they wanted too much money.
48:31Time after time after time after time. And as I said at the top, our top talent slowly but surely all petered out. The club, that amazing, brilliant squad that we had got whittled to nothing. And we were left with all the absolute dross that we signed in every single one of those transfer windows that we complained about. every single one of those transfer windows there would always be some holier than now knob end that would tell you that you're being an idiot for being concerned about the transfer window but it's all coming back now it's all coming back to kickers kickers square in the knackers or whatever nether regions you have and that's it i can't be bothered to moan anymore i'm just going around in circles and you know bring on the comments about people saying it's negative but you know i haven't got it in me tonight i don't have it in me um thanks very much for everyone for tuning in come on you spurs bye-bye good evening enjoy
