What I do not understand about Spurs fans...

[SpursInPeace]

We are the better aide than Tottenham.

Does anyone here think if we had gone 1-0 up v West Brom and 2-0 up v Chelsea that we'd thrown it away? Especially in this crucial stage. Our game management is vastly superior to Tottenham, it's not even up for debate. We know how to see games out because we actually have bottle and intelligence. The pressure got to Spurs on Monday and they completely disgraced themselves.

They can say what they like about our "boring" consecutive 1-0 wins but we proved that we are worthy champions.

I hate that in this footballing culture being entertaining is seen as being better.

And BTW, they've scored 67 goals. We've scored 64 goals. But listening to them you'd think we are Wimbledon in their prime and they are peak Barcelona under Pep.

We lacked composure in the last two games. Lacked experience. We were crying out for someone v WBA to get hold of the ball and settle the game down. Same v Chelsea. We didn't manage the game well at all. Most spurs fans have admitted as much thst our game management in the last two weeks was poor. I think our result v Stoke and Man United had made the players think we should just keep playing for the next goal instead of controlling the game and allowing it to fizzle out a bit..I have no doubt our young team will learn from this though and be stronger for it next season.

[SpursInPeace]

The pressure got to the team. Playing catch up and having to win three games is a huge ask. City had been through the 'heat treatment' last season - they were used to pressure. There were a lot of factors involved. The fact that Pochetinno (?) is staying will keep much of the squad together. I hope they do - one more team to break the hegemony of the 'big' clubs.

Playing catch up was tough yes. Playing catch up while also playing after Leicester every week made it even tougher in my opinion. The scheduling was crazy. 3 Mondays in a row. Has that ever happened before?

Poch will stay. If we add what we need to our squad I will be happy.

Some of us still remember the images of Spurs fans punching a woman in the face, at Wembley in the cup final.

Spurs I'm sure have decent fans, but have well above average of vile fans.

I had a similar conversation with someone at work re our dislike for Spurs last week.

 

For both of us and probably many more it goes back to that day.

 

It was those images, bottles being thrown at us in pubs where on our numerous trips to Wembley at that time there hadn't been a hint of trouble (Maybe it was their "Manna"). Walking back to Wembley Central after a last minute defeat to be goaded and abused by lowlife crawling out from pubs.

 

It's one thing to be a poor loser but to have so little class in victory is something else.

 

A decent team who have always tried to entertain and play the game the right way but a lot of their support is just something else. Maybe it's the belief they are a big club but 55 years without a title and constantly living under Arsenal's shadow has screwed them up.

 

I know they have some decent fans but they're out shouted by the lowlife.

[WTSGMI]

I am Spurs and Dont know any other Spurs fan who has any resentment to Leicester. Of course there was banter and some got carried away but no more than any other team trying to chase a lead down. This season title race for once was conducted without the normal mind games or bitterness but by two teams built on teamwork, hard work and respect (apart from Monday night at the chavs) led by two managers who showed how things can be done.

Don't let Chelsea high jack you celebrations, because that is all they have left this season, They played a tiny part in it, like every other team we dropped points too. YOU won the title, and for their fans and players to suggest otherwise only demeans what you achieved. I guarantee come the last game of the season they will treat you like brothers in arms wanting thanks for drawing with Spurs so they won you the title instead of acknowledging you and your achievement alone as champions.

Congratulations LCFC I like many Spurs fans salute you.

[Finnegan]

I lost any ill feeling towards Tottenham when Clattenburg blew the full time whistle.

Most on here know I absolutely loathe Chelsea as a club (not got a problem with their fans, I should add), the money, Terry, Drogba and his diving, Mourinho, not a lot to like.

But Spurs were absolutely shocking at Stamford Bridge. To claim Chelsea were anywhere near as bad would be severe denial. Tottenham just lost the plot. Walker, Dembele and Dier could and should all have walked.

The last ten minutes when they should have been sieging Begovic, they were just more interested in fouling Chelsea players. Absolutely mad.

It blows my mind that people questioned OUR mental strength.

[jit]

Hate to admit it but Harry Kane is a good player, he's put in the hard yards in training and will be a consistent goal scorer and future England captain, he'll stay next year then when they miss out on CL football, new stadium, he'll be off then Poch will follow.

 

Spurs moving to a new stadium, selling club. My prediction- Spurs finish 5/6th next year and cash in on players.

 

Long story short, we'll have the last laugh when they have a half empty stadium, shit manager, sell all their players and left with Ryan Mason. Also when they slip down to 12-15th and we're consistently around the top 8.

[Shelf Side Spurs]

I'd like to put you right on a few things, 1st:There were NO wind up tactics from Chelsea, none at all, talk about soft excuses (unless you consider Chelsea scoring a goal a wind up, I do realise some Spurs fans, like their players, think it's just not cricket to score a goal against them)

2nd: You do have a short memory, either that or you're hoping others on here do & won't be able to tell when you are telling porkies. Chelsea fans loved Raneri till the very last day, many complained about the club talking to Erikson behind his back, & many didn't want him to leave. I am a Chelsea fan so I think I know a bit more about this than you, with respect (mock respect, admittedly). Claudio improved our position year on year--6th, 6th, 4th, 2nd. We were disappointed that he mucked up our CL semi against Monaco with his tinkering but our affection for him never waned, how could it, he's a lovely approachable man. 

You mention the gentleman Hiddink returning, well why wouldn't he? As he said, he'd have only done that for Chelsea.

Never ceases to amaze me the outright bitterness you see from Tottenham fans--as a Leicester fan on here says about the 3rd biggest club in London who have achieved very little for a very long time.

Finally--Leicester & Claudio are sure to get a rapturous reception at the Bridge & rightly so.

P.S If you understand anything about English football you'll understand why we celebrated like winning the cup, as you put it (or winning the Lge as Kane put it, although how he'd know what that is like I don't know). It was because we knew we had put the final nail in your coffin in regards to you winning the Lge, your pipe dream was over & it was wonderful to witness.

 

Congratulations to the new Champions, very well deserved.

I'm not going to have a debate with you on a Leicester City forum, especially in their moment of triumph. But I will say this....go and have a look at your 'support' on your own Shed End forum for the match....the first 19 pages are full of bile about your own team, from your own fans, someone even suggested boo'ing them off at half time. That is the epitome of the new plastic Chelsea fan.....not those who have supported the club through the 60's and 70's. You should be asking yourself what happened to your players this season, the multi millionnaires that got the special one sacked and couldn't defend the title.... not trying to bask in Leicester's fantastic achievement. Pathetic.

A lot of this is pretty much accurate, especially the game management bit. We were 2-0 up at home to Stoke, drew 2-2, 1-0 up against Newcastle lost 2-1 and were beating you 1-0 for about 90 seconds.....Closing a game out is a vital tactic to be champions, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all know how to do it, and so do Leicester. It's something we have to learn. The entertaining bit.....meh, you can make argument both ways, but what's the point of being solely 'entertaining' if it never gets you anywhere? I'm not suggesting that everyone should start playing like Atletico Madrid, but you need to mix both entertainment and pragmatism...last season Chelsea were fantastically entertaining up until they lost 5-3 to us on New Years day, then Mourinho battened down the hatches and cruised to the title.

 

Leicester did some of that this year and it's exactly what is required to be Champions. As I've said previously your defence deserves great credit as much as Vardy and Mahrez, for keeping things tight when necessary.

I dont know very much about that day as I was only 10 at the time. But obviously that happened and it's shocking. Behaviour like that is not acceptable in any walk of life, whether alcohol or drugs is involved or not.

But the having class in victory bit grates on me a little, considering some of the vile posts I have read on here and the 'banter' tweet from Vardy. And this post that was made above.

If the shoe is on the other foot and Kane is tweeting that I imagine you guys wouldn't have been happy with it either.

I've tried to look at the way the league has panned out as objectively as possible and it's part of the reason I joined up here. I wanted to get a proper opinion of Leicester fans and the opinions of Leicester fans.

It's been good and I've seen some great posts with objective and fair statements but I've seen some absolute rubbish spouted as well. To be expected but some of the vitriol to us has been nothing short of terrible considering how some on here have taken offence to what has been read off the Fighting Cock.

I haven't defended Spurs to the hilt nor have I said we deserved to win the league. I didn't defend our actions on Monday night, and I congratulated you guys at full time. I've defended our fans because I think some on here have a blinded view of what most of us are like because of the crap posted from the Fighting Cock.

It's unfortunate that some feel this way because considering what both clubs have achieved this season has been incredible to say the least.

I'll finish this tangent by again congratulating you guys on an amazing victory, but please don't tar all Spurs fans with the Fighting Cock brush. It's not who we are.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

I think quite simply there are decent fans of every club up and down the country and there are morons aswell

Spurs are no different to any other club in that respect

[Parafox]

All your success if hollow. Funded by Russian mafia $$$. We are doing it the right way. So we haven't won much lately but that looks very much like changing.

No wind up tactics? They started before the game when Fabregas and Hazard piped in saying they wouldn't let us win the league, basically they would have scored 100 own goals if it went to the last day.

Hope Cesc's hand amputation went well. Heard he had to get Costa to wipe his vagina after the game as well.

I have no issue with the celebrations. It shows how far we've come that the biggest thing Chelsea could celebrate this season was Spurs not being able to win the league.

Also, where was your players fight from Monday all season? Laughable. You'd be right up there with us and Leicester had your players played like that 75% of the season.

 

If you want to argue between yourselves about Spurs and Chelsea don't use OUR forum to do it. Please fvck off both of you

[Livid]

I think quite simply there are decent fans of every club up and down the country and there are morons aswell

Agreed.

 

I just think the bigger the club, the bigger the support, the larger number of morons.

 

We have some of our own!

[SpursInPeace]

Sorry. It wasn't me that started it to be fair. I won't be posting any more 'discussion' with him. Apologies.

[Monsell1976]

Agree Bob, if I was a Spurs fan, I would be very excited, the have a very, very good young team, and their future looks bright.

It's just a shame they have more than most in the moron department.

Those on here present well, but some of the crap that's come from Tottenham and Arsenal is just embarrassing, like our players are on drugs, refs favour us, other teams roll over for us, and it's not the minority saying it.

Spurs should be happy with second as I would have been if it was reversed.

Maybe it's the changing of the norm, Spurs look strong, as do we, and both have money to improve.

And just to finish, we have morons, coming down the stairs at Sunderland, we a group of tossers singing, where were you when we were shit, it only made priority 3, where do they think people where.

[Tuna]

 

This never gets old!

[SpinneyHillRanger]

The thing is they weren't even top for 13 minutes... Because points are only dished out at the end of games, not midway as they stand.

People going on about this spurs team was the best team in the league this year, need to get a grip. This spurs team does play an hard intensive quick style that is very difficult to play against especially for around 60 minutes... But then when they can't press as intensely later on in the game they become half the team.

When it really mattered they gave up 1-0 and 2-0 leads. A clever team, with a strong mentality would never do that. Look how many times we defended 1 goal leads and for how long. Against a fighting Newcastle we scored 1st half and managed the game like chps. Same against crystal palace away where they were desperate to end their bad run.

Surprising that so many of their deluded fans think it was good they showed fight against Chelsea.??! C%mon its 0-0 and their players are indisciplined kicking opponents... What's the need? I would have been much more impressed if they shut up shop after 2-0 and managed the game. If they did that they might have even got a chance to be champs.

[Oxfordfox83]

Spurs are a top side, and they had more nerve than the rest of them when it came to playing catch up. But we're the only team that has shown any bottle leading from the front. People forget that the Man City game was so important because they were title favourites at the time, and that was where momentum could have switched. We beat Spurs when they were the form side in the league, we beat Palace when we were both at the top. We didn't falter at the big moments, and that more than anything is why we won.

Spurs did very well, and Kane is a truly outstanding player. You're young enough to build on this, but there is a note of caution. You lacked a leader. There was no one having a word with your young lads when they got carried away (in fact Kane seemed the only calm head during the brawls, Poch included). And Poch himself has a lot to learn. At 2-0 up, with the win basically already earned, it was madness to let Chelsea back in. You only had one striker, so could have tightened up and hit on the break. It was naive to lose that game, and throughout the season Spurs have been winning unless a win meant something (see also, Newcastle, WBA). Spurs never really got close to us, because whenever the opportunity was presented they blew it. That is where Fuchs, Morgan, Drinky and Schmeichel really stepped up-they calmed it down and saw it out.

I have no expectations for our side next year, and if we can't repeat this then a win for Spurs is great for England and English football. But someone has to improve that mental strength, otherwise all the tactics and skills in the world will count for nothing. I'm not sure Poch is the man for that...

[Jattdogg]

So kane can post a tweet/banter and when we officially make that banter obsolete we cant respond? Come on son. When you chat like that then be prepared to have some thrown back. Its all fun and part of the game so long as its not over the top. If that was over the top to you then you lot are soft.

[SpursInPeace]

We threw away a 2 goal lead and a 1 goal lead in the last 2 weeks.

But don't forget that we have been the team to come to win most points from behind as well.

Our mental strength isn't what's up for debate. It's our lack of experience and I think the last two weeks will stand us in good stead next season. We needed a steady Eddie on Monday night, not a glamorous player to come on and show flare or score a goal, but to ride the storm Chelsea were bringing. A Scott Parker or Frank Lampard say, someone to take it all on his shoulders and break the game up and slow it down.

I was disappointed with our centre backs in hindsight actually considering they'd both won titles with Ajax and Altetico. They should have known how to calm the game down and take the sting out of it but the problem, and I use that word in the lightest sense because I love the unity this team has(it looks the same with you guys), is that they are all so close and fight for each other and have each others backs. We needed an outfield Captain rather than Lloris on Monday night

I already said I have no major issue with it. I can take it was banter but my point was in reply to someone saying win and show some class and grace and Spurs fans didn't in 99. Vardys tweet didn't show any of that either.

Put the shoe on the other foot and look at it from our side. Then let me know how it looks.

And anyway, we all know how the Lion King really ends. The young lion comes back to take over. ;-)

I dont think it was classless to be fair. But we can agree to disagree.

I cant say i dislike tottenham. Sure any team not lcfc can bugger off but i think spurs have a good team. That said if you cant keep your players(not sell them) or emotions in check with those "big" games that will be a downfall and a reason why you will always be a bridesmaid.

I suspect next year we be even harder to win the league.

[Carl the Llama]

Come right off it.  Kane chatted shit, don't be upset that he subsequently got banged.  It's not like there wasn't fair warning.  If the shoe was on the other foot there wouldn't have been any arrogant tweet to respond to in the first place.

 

If you want to come on here and play the measured objective individual card that's fine but you're not doing that right now so kindly stop crying about Vardy winning a battle your man started.
