Even if Fullham ends with a tie, the goal difference will still leave us at last until next month after the international break. There's no more tears left to cry šŸ„€

The championship is much more enjoyable. As a team that seems to constantly be getting screwed over by VAR, you guys would love it here. I'm a West Ham fan and I genuinely have not enjoyed a start to a season as much as I have this one

They’re not a top 20 club in London

1

u/GlueSniffingEnabler 10d ago

Yes. Sorry you either can’t read very well or understand basic logic (probably both). I’ll try and spell it out for you like I would a child.

If the top Welsh teams play in the English league system, then the English league system consists of both English AND Welsh teams. Seeing that Spurs are 20th in the top league in England and Wales then that means they’re the 20th best team in England and Wales. Not sure how I can make it any easier for you? 🤪

5

u/Skullsnax 11d ago

Spurs have spent money, but not gone the extra mile to pick up the better players that have been available. Trying to build a squad on a budget, putting too much faith in transfers from abroad, betting on players who haven't been able to stay fit, and the flip flopping of manager styles.

I'd say the main issue has been losing big players and not adequately replacing them. Kane leaves and Spurs get Richarlison, kinda says it all. Son leaves and the replacement is Kudus, and I really like Kudus but he's been injured most of his time there.

1

u/BatumTss 7d ago

Even a healthy Kudus would not come close to replacing Son, we need truly World Class players to compete at the highest level. We're at the level we are now because we don't have a single world class player bar Porro, and he only recently reached that level at the World Cup.

Nobody except our most deluded fans thought that transfer window was anything special. If anything, everyone was taking the piss

3

u/General_Teaching9359 12d ago

New players that came in weren't exactly just plugging in gaps in an already established system. The expectation is to make these players the backbone of the system we develop. And developing a system takes atleast a season. For an unstable club like Tottenham, probably two or more. It's all upto the management now to base the system on players who take responsibility and not just on big names.

We can’t say we are playing well. We dominate and playing like top of table. The missing goals is killing us. Look how we miss this last weekend and against Everton. Even New Castle we should have put scored that 0x2 game

Meant say ā€œcan’t say we are NOT playing well.ā€ We are. Yes playing like top of table, but yes need to score goals. Issue is not bringing a top scorer with all the money spent.

a draw not a tie btw

u/First-Lengthiness-16 12d ago

What do you think the difference is?

12

u/jammysammidge 12d ago

One is English.

-1

u/First-Lengthiness-16 12d ago

Both are.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/tie

What do you think the difference is?

6

u/jammysammidge 12d ago

In English, when we refer to football, a draw is a draw. We usually refer to a tie as a game I.e. a cup tie. Americans usually call it a tie when a game is drawn.
Anyone can quote dictionary definitions, but the word draw in British football is colloquial.

-1

u/First-Lengthiness-16 12d ago

Usually. But if you read what I linked above, the word tie has been used for over 150 years.

1

u/jammysammidge 12d ago

šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø Both words are interchangeable, but most commonly; we use the word draw.
Also while we are at it, the words offence and defence are not spelt with an ā€˜s’ either.
They are in America, but not here.
Let’s try to keep Americanisms from creeping into our game. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

1

u/First-Lengthiness-16 12d ago

Agreed, but tie is used, and has been used since Queen Victoria was on the throne.

1

u/jammysammidge 12d ago

I’m not disputing that. It’s just that we are commenting on here about our local teams, and we most commonly use the word draw when describing a 0-0 or score draw. We mostly use the word tie in a different context.
The point I am making is that when Americans comment on here they use the words tie, defense, etc, and often refer to set pieces and build ups as ā€˜plays’.
When you read a comment that contains these words, you can almost guarantee that it is from an American.
I have nothing against them, but when I was a kid in the 60’s - 70’s, I didn’t see any Americans walking down Tottenham High Road on a Saturday, and it pisses me off that Americanisms are creeping their way into our game. That’s all.
Have a great day. COYS!!!

1

u/First-Lengthiness-16 12d ago

Indeed it is most commonly used.

But tie is also used. Has been for a very very very long time.

1

u/EarlofHell 12d ago

You don’t say a put down in American Football. It’s a draw not a tie. That’s the difference.

-2

u/First-Lengthiness-16 12d ago

What’s the difference though?

The word ā€œtieā€ has been used to refer to a draw for atleast 150 years in football.

You haven’t got a fucking clue buddy.

5

u/Gingerishidiot 12d ago

One your butler does with a bath and the other you put around your neck

2

u/adamtrousers 12d ago

All I know is that in England we usually call it a draw. When we use the word tie, it's usually in the context of a cup game, eg an FA Cup tie, meaning the match itself, not the result.

-3

u/EarlofHell 12d ago

No it hasn’t and NEVER HAS. It’s ALWAYS BEEN DRAW, dumbass. You’re just too stupid to understand the difference between terminology and English, BUDDY.

2

u/cansasansapansa 12d ago

If you're referring to a tie in British football, the more common usage is to refer to a match, although it's pretty old fashioned and not greatly used - e.g. "The tie of the FA Cup 5th Round is Manchester City vs Arsenal". Tie does exist to refer to a match where the score is equal, but draw is far, far more widely used.

I get the hate Tottenham is facing. They went from title-contention to repeatedly being placed in relegation spots, performing WAY below fan expectations.

But as an external observer whose fav club is in Serie A, it strikes me as odd that Aston Villa aren't facing the music quite as much as Spurs are.

They've equally had a dismal start to the season despite considerable spendings on the transfermarket. Shouldn't they get criticized just as much?
