Spurs in Thailand

[Number 6]

It's not good prep, feel like we need something else added into the schedule now, though can potentially just go more full strength for the Burton game.

 

To be honest I'd be putting in a fairly local away game prior to Cov. Something to highlight to the players what we're in for this season. It's not fancy trips abroad, get them in a grotty changing room somewhere with cold showers.

All jokes aside, I think we've done well there.

Clean sheet.

More likely a bukake'd sheet

Is Foxestalk really in meltdown because of a cancelled friendly?

 

 

that’s a new low, surely…

I think it’s just more of the domino effect of the continued shit show.

 

Not changing the squad when we needed additions.

 

Selling players late so you end up signing completely terrible replacements. 

 

Keeping Rodgers long after 80% of this forum realised it wasn’t working.

 

Not playing your best players and allowing people like Amartey and Ward to continually play whilst we had Soyuncu and Iversen sat on the bench.

 

Not selling players and losing millions, thus allowing us to progress. Then allowing assets walk away for free. 
 

Buying a continually load of “duffers”, causing our playing squad to go backward.

 

Potentially the worst free fall in English football, getting relegated with the highest ever wage bill.

 

Taking out loans again the club future TV money, which we no longer have.

 

More injuries than the Leicester Royal Infirmary ER unit. 

 

A total deluded take on our current predicament. 
 

Shirt price fixing, which we got off fairly lightly for. 

This visit to Thailand, just tops off what is basically, what on Earth are we doing, trying to parade us commercially to a demographic that really doesn’t care about us. 

 

All of this whilst having the communications skills of an astronaught, shouting into a vacuum.

Ward still let a few in though

It's unfortunate, but it could have been a decent workout. Quality, but potentially beatable, opposition in front of a big crowd before coming back to play Burton and then Coventry on the opening day.

 

Planning this in Thailand during monsoon season was questionable, but numerous PL teams do exactly the same every year without a hitch. It hasn't worked out, but it's not really cause for some of the Jonestown reactions we're seeing here. 

 

I never bought into this argument that it was like the ICC just after we won the league where we played two world class teams in two different continents over a matter of days; I just saw it as a bit of a cash cow that we could have regretted had a key player gotten injured, but the same happened in our own backyard when Fofana got injured against Villarreal so the location didn't really come into it.

 

As it is, we now have a gap in our preparation that will need to be plugged with decent opposition to see how we gel. A behind-closed-doors friendly at Seagrave against decent Premier League opposition would give us an idea of where we are in terms of progress.

Normally I wouldn’t be too concerned, but we have a new manager and squad, we need to play matches before the season starts. Otherwise our players aren’t going to be able to remember what a ball is or how to put on their football boots! 

But we are playing..plus not reported games behind closed  doors( maybe manager wants it so) Club has to honour certain promised ties,plus marketing and games.

[SafewayFox]

A bit of perspective - Brighton who 99% of us (myself included) rave about how well run they are have FOUR pre-season friendlies planned with 3 out of the 4 being in the US.

 

I know we’re all bitter about last season but a bit of perspective is definitely needed.

That's just too sensible.

The only positive you can scrape from the bottom of the barrel is at least the game was called off and Ricky Ps legs were spared.

Way i see it everyones had a few months of pent up anger to get out of their system. 

 

This is crap, but although not unheard of they got really unlucky with the weather. I wish they cancelled this tour but i presume it was being planned long before relegation was a serious proposition. Still doesn't make it right but i think there are some overboard reactions. Hopefully there is enough going on behind closed doors to get us ready. 

I have a lot of pent up anger,but get pssed off,when everytime some know-alls ,

so much up there own arse..just throwing out dish water complaints and yapping..

When logging in…No matter what topic..

Time is up…time to get on with life..And actually time to “support” club,manager, & squad….

Not disputing that but merely stating that if you look at it this way from a Brighton perspective -

 

1) Their first ever season in Europe and the least amount of games in pre-season with two of them against Chelsea and Newcastle so could have some awkward score lines that may (may not) knock confidence.

 

2) One of their star men is missing due to transfer links to Chelsea, with them (Chelsea) not meeting their valuation of Caicedo.

 

Makes you realise that some of the unjustified hate Top and co. is actually happening in supposedly well run clubs.

I will take Fuchs' advice and head down now. No promise there will be moaning though, more a few sighs of disappointment.

@old koppite still in favour of this great trip are we?

Just in case you’ve made plans and to warn you, the Burton game is between the Coventry and Huddersfield games, not before Coventry. 
 

We’re off to play Liverpool in Singapore next weekend, so not back until next Monday/Tuesday when we’ll probably be jet-lagged.

Doesn't mean I have to like it?

 

And also, can we actually go somewhere where we have fans?

It's going pretty badly for them out there and they have an extra week before the start of the season.

How did you manage to get mahrez to go?

[SK3Blue]

So we've had 45 mins per player at Northampton, a jog around at the sister club and a stroll around Bangkok posing for photos and high fiving. 

 

They'll be blowing out of their asses against Cov.
