They all claim to be new and different, but they're not. I know what you mean, but I sort of wonder a bit. When new stadia started sprouting up a while back, there was Huddersfield's ground and Bolton's and Man City's which were sort of different to what went before, with all curved roofs n'that. There were the likes of Derby and Boro and Leicester and Sunderland, even, which are generic sort of stadia. I think the Arsenal one is a step on from those (Maybe you could add the expanded Man City one into the same category, now). They're another progression, but still a bit featureless - symetrical, 3 tiered... The New Spurs-o-drome, to me, looks like yet another step change. They've taken what Arsenal did a decade ago and done a bit more. Sculpting it for Sound, having a big home end. Yes it's got all that corporate cheese-sniffing room milarkey, and being London it'll be horrendously expensive to get in, but if you're going to build a big new ground, they've sort of gone about it pretty well, IMO. The days of new grounds being 4 different sheds are long gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Shame Chelsea were not allowed to move forward with their Battersea power station stadium plans as that would have been a bit different indeed. Then again historic landmark yada yada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I don't think they'll get top four this season. I think Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd. will all finish above them. Hopefully it leads to Ponchettino leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Don't understand the dislike for Spurs at all. Well run club, invested sensibly (on the whole), developed some really bright talents, don't just throw around ridiculous money for the sake of it and yet still able to compete with the top European clubs. I hope they have another good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they have another good season. Maybe it’s partly because they’re doing what we should be doing, or at least we should be at that level. So maybe a bit of envy perhaps. Possibly it’s because they receive a lot of attention, adulation etc but don’t actually win anything so the praise isn’t completely warranted. Or maybe it’s just Levy. I like Spurs, my dad is a spurs fan so I like to see them do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad isn't a Spurs fan, but I like them too. Ideally, of the realistic clubs who could, they'd win the league this season. There is an element of that, anything other than winning something is a failure. It’s not always correct obviously, and Liverpool losing a champions league final to Madrid is not what I would call a failure. But in the case of spurs, when did they last reach a final? (just looked it up - 2015 league cup final loss, the one prior to that was 2009, another league cup final defeat). Let’s face it, when they were in that two horse title race with Leicester which was probably their best chance, they still somehow finished third. I’d like them to win something, but it’s getting to point where I would say them winning the league isn’t that realistic. How much this contributes to people disliking them, I don’t know. It’s probably various factors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather they did well than teams like Chelsea and Liverpool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 My dislike for them was fuelled by having Glastonspur on here a few years back with his arrogant and deluded ramblings. Never mind Real Madrid winning 3 Champions Leagues in a row, Spurs would have won the last 10 if their actual abilities matched what he thought they were. I know fans will always defend their own side and always be overly optimistic about their potential, but he took it to another level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
