How can this happen? How could this happen? Tony Soprano watching Tottenham
*all subject to us getting relegated. Because knowing Spurs, no doubt weβll bottle finishing bottom three
And trepidation as to whether we can reclaim form and galvanise a path back up. This might be elite copium. But everything resetting will cleanse us.
Surviving will have the club appoint the wrong person no doubt π
Canβt believe this is the catalyst for change; self-sabotage and criminal neglect.
I predict after the horrendous realisation weβre down, it will be liberating. Genuine βwtf happens now?β energy. We wonβt have the seasoned expectations that have absolutely crippled this club (no fault of ours). Weβll only have our unadulterated love for our badge and what it means to be Spurs.
Romancing a pitch invasion, singing for the love of our club, because we belong to it. Our club being us, our fandom, history, mates, family, away days, glory nights. Our memories, not those of a custodian.
We are fucking Totenham so stick it up your bollox
Digging out owners and demanding better is every football fan ever. Stating the bloody obvious canβt be weaponised.
We can pretend they care to listen to us but reality is they donβt. Things change when they decide to sell. This has always been the case.
Relegation will hopefully galvanise us.
Itβs their business model to take advantage of our loyalty. We romanticise what we believe football is when it painfully isnβt. The alternative is to walk away. Can any supporter walk away? Truly walk away?
Additional.
All this is ENIC and Levyβs legacy, not the stadium.
The stadium is a monument, a tower of Babel. Got everyone talking in tongues.
Everyone is going to want to beat us in the Championship, the big scalp. The club needs a reset, didnβt have this biblical narrative in mind tbh. Gonna be disappointed if we donβt go down now π
Onwards. Downwards. Rain or shine or shitstorm.
Up the Spurs
No matter the embarrassment, misery or goading from rival fans, none of us are going to wake up one morning and turn our backs on them. As much as we hate what the club has become, itβs still our club. Every broken part of it.
Canβt control the football, canβt control any of it. So Iβm left with one undeniable truth - I belong to this football club regardless and in spite of everything and anything. They chose me. Thereβs no escape. Itβs my identity. Iβll always support them.

Palace at home. Fail to win and we fold.
Ready the obituary.
Extinction event imminent.
1 mean, you couldn't really write this season in terms of what's happened - Levy

The club has to be sold for it to reset. Nothing else will deliver change. That change is an unknown but itβs infinitely better than the sickness that festers deep in its heart right now.
Gut it.
βWhy do you always find a way to pick apart at my stability?β
Dale Cooper: God help me, I don't know where to start.
Tottenham on my mind.
Just thought about the parade last season. Emotionally, from the highest high to this current apathetic acceptance, itβs surreal and yet undeniable. This football club is the greatest sporting social experiment that has ever existed.
Mad that the only way to get rid of ENIC is to get relegated. Appointing varying managers with conflicting ideologies and never really committing to any of them has absolutely killed the soul of this club. Everything is in a state of death. All of it.
RIP THFC
The extinction event is actually happening
There was a point during the game when I lost track of all the electronic ad boards flickering upcoming concerts at the stadium.
More artists than progressive passes on the pitch.
Can Bad Bunny play in the deep-lying role? βCourse he can, he can do anything.
Football is emotional. I was hurting the other day. Still hurting today. Lots of Spurs on Spurs in the stadium, donβt need it on here.
Club is facing an extinction event. Think itβs okay to lose our minds a little.
50% off season tickets next season tho. When we go down.
I plagiarised it for Instagram, might get some bites
Brilliant π
i hope Gabriel is ok after apparently being electrocuted by Kolo Muani's hand
This is my point. Had I chosen not to include chapter names.
Can we all be friends again?
I missed the replay of the disallowed goal in the ground. Just seen it.
What the fuck man π
Nope. Not you and never say sorry π
β¦ they have all played a part. All chapters in the same doomsday book.
Iβve spent 20+ years talking the good fight, being positive, so please do fuck off and allow me this wobble.
