As I have constantly explained, I have supported my beloved Spurs since 1964, through all the good and a lot of very poor seasons, BUT if you are a true supporter of your club you show it every day. Big Ange needs our support, he most definitely needs and should expect 'Daniel's' support, this man should be the future of our club and as such should be supported by the club and given the 'Furniture' our beloved Poch should have been given. Come on 'Daniel' show up to challenge. 'Audere Est Facere'

[@kcplumbingservices]

Tough times get behind ange and the boys

[@mikechase7448]

I have also supported our Boys for many decades (since 1958 actually ). Levi needs to back Ange, this coming window will not see many quality players moving, so he has to be given the whole of this season - then Levi should back him again to reinforce the squad with a few experienced, quality players. COYS

[@kentcapers5058]

Support this manager through these tough times. We’ll get through! Have faith! COYS!

[@epec20]

We've gone from 5th in the first season, to 12th in the next. Poch got sacked for those same stats, even though he'd challenged for the PL title and just played a CL final. Poch went 3 windows before a player came in. Ange has had 350mil spent over 3 windows, without the PL and CL titles challenges. He's shown his level, unfortunately

[@michael1882yt]

Poch, Jose, Nuno and Conti all had a 30 goal a season phenomenon too.

Get behind ange and the lads at this very tough time

[@diggint9199]

A true supporter offers support when times are tough so when things are good its all the more sweeter. Ange will never walk from a challenge. Nobody is going to make a difference without time and players coming back into the squad. The Ange and Levy out brigade have become boring. They only appear after a loss with no alternative suitable solution that will make any difference. Ange is a gun coach, he and the team need help and all we can do as fans is be supportive and get behind them. COYS

[@epec20]

A true supporter goes to home and away games

[@diggint9199]

@epec20 if I could I would, not everyone fan can even afford to go. Does that mean they can't be a fan? Sounds like someone is a bit entitled.

​@@diggint9199don't take it personal you know what he is trying to say

[@epec20]

​@@diggint9199 I'm suggesting that those who pay for home and away games and make the effort to travel up and down the country to watch their team, have more of a right to their opinion. Even if it seems 'boring, to you. You should respect it. As its their money and support that is paying for the team you claim to support

[@diggint9199]

@@epec20 @epec20 I know what your suggesting. Your saying those that pay to go to the games have more of a right to an opinion than those who don't. Which to me sounds like the comment of someone who feels like they are more entitled than someone else. Every fan regardless of their income, race, religion, gender, age is entitled to an opinion about their team not just the select few who go to the games. In Australia we have to pay to watch our team, on several different broadcasters. Everyone still generates an income for the club not just those who attend the games. merchandise jerseys all generate an income. Without everyone involved Tottenham have nothing.

IM LOVING BIG ANGE INSTEAD! And through it AAAAAAALLLL!

[@deandrury4330]

Personally I cannot believe the criticism and agenda on trying to get this man fired the last few games we have been playing with a backup keeper that’s no spring chicken a backup right cb that’s talented but needs to improve on the ball and an 18 year old midfielder playing left centre back a very big injury toll to an already small squad and an agenda from pundits and the like saying he only plays 1 way when clearly over the season and a half there has been a few different ways we played ie man city he has had to come into a club that has a mentality of being defensive and not being able to win anything buying young players and yet you all think he should be fighting to win the league with maybe the sixth or seventh best squad albeit not very deep and nearly half of that squad injured😂😂😂

[@tarotmarshall717]

We lost to Ipswich with a full team. We have kept 4 clen sheets since midway through last season. Its not just the last few games.

Far more determined than Levy, that's the problem.

[@ross4970]

Great to read positive comments from Spurs real supporters. A line in the Paul Kelly song about Bradman sums it up. They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn.

[@paulscrase3877]

Not only has Ange got his first choice gk & cb's out, but all his leadership group are either injured or woefully out of form. Yet apparently it's all Ange's fault. Spurs have only one quality striker in Solanke, Son is sadly now a liability offering nothing offensively & is frankly terrible defensively.

[@michaelb6241]

Not knocking Solanke but is he top quality? I know it's not possible to find another Kane but Solanke is nowhere near him. For years we had H picking up the slack and getting us out of a mess, AP doesn't have that luxury.

🤬 Son is kind and always fulfills your requests, so you isolate him on the left, use him as bait to benefit other players, and sacrifice his abilities just to develop the right-sided players? Meanwhile, Spurs fans blame him alone, claiming he’s “not the same as before.” Who do you think you are to disregard his ten years of dedication and turn it into nothing? It’s absolutely disgusting! Stop blaming the players for your failures. Four center-backs with hamstring injuries? That’s on your ridiculous high-line tactics! How much longer are you going to isolate Son on the left, give him no support from teammates, and sacrifice him tactically? Do you think Son and his Korean fans are just a joke to you?

[@TS-zc4gg]

I genuinely hope Ange resigns and takes the opportunity to join a rival club, leaving the delusional Tottenham fans to face the reality of their situation. This club is a shadow of what it pretends to be, and Ange deserves far better than to lower his standards for such a mediocre organization. Look at the history-managers like Conte and Mourinho have come and gone, all of whom expressed disdain for the club. It's clear that the problem runs much deeper than just the manager. Tottenham fans seem to be living in a fantasy, believing their club is something it’s not. The truth is, Tottenham has never been a great club. They’ve flirted with success but consistently failed to deliver when it counts. The persistent cycle of underachievement reflects a toxic culture that no manager can fix. It's time for Ange to recognize that he’s in a place that will only hold him back. He should seek a club that values ambition and success, rather than clinging to the hollow pride of being a "big name" without the substance to back it up.
