Just 5 days into the 2020/21 season and Spurs will begin their treacherous ascent of the Europa League. Thanks to our friends from Woolwich winning the FA Cup for the 14th time, we will now embark upon a qualifier route of 3 games, which then lead to the start of tournament proper. Our journey commences on September the 17th with the 2nd Qualifier Round.
One the 24th of September is the play off for the 3rd Qualifier Round, and then all being well, the play-off for entry is on October the 1st.
All this is very definitely European football, but a far cry from the advertising fanfare that the club ran back in 2018 threatening supporters with ‘the only place to watch UEFA Champions League in London’.
This ill-advised campaign earned THFC a wrap over the knuckles from the advertising authority, who like many others predicted that the stadium build wouldn’t be completed in time.
A combination of ongoing Coronavirus concerns, plus opponents that few English fans might readily know, is likely to make ticket sales challenging, to put it mildly.
A billion pound stadium – we’re living the dream, eh?
Yep. Kids/grandkids. Nothing Tottenham till the owner/chairman leaves. “What’s a chairman grandad? Grow up mate
Had a nightmare last night. The little old lane was still there. Looked out the window just to check and it wasn’t. Phew.
Spot on.
Ask yourselves this; If you’d have been told when the stadium plans and the demolition of WHL was revealed that our present situation would be what it is, would you have believed it?
Mourinho in charge, boring football, Ropey League, no signings for a whole year and 1bn of debt, 17th highest net spend in the Premier League over 5 years.
Kept that lot quiet didn’t they? 😂
Levy is taking us for c*nts, always has done…
How would you define ‘made’ or ‘broken’ then?
I like to keep that out there to remind people, other hashtags are plastered everywhere so why not that one too?
We are told ENIC are going nowhere and that we shouldn’t bother trying to protest and I kind of agree to an extent Does that mean we should remain silent? Not on your nelly mate.

Two years later and ‘the only place to watch the champions league in london’ is ruddy stamford bridge! That Russian guy pulled out of building the chavs new stadium. He said it was too dear in the current climate…. Never afraid to spend big on players though…. Priorities.
I know. But that is the excuse now
Good grief I have just been perusing the list of possible opponents.
My FC Cheeky Metalist Lokomotiv Clnj has come back to bite me on the bum. How the mighty have fallen.
Poch out
We didn’t spend like a Champions League club when we were in the competition.
A drop in ticket sales will. That’s if the supporting sheep can stop going baa and withhold their money.
Daniel Levy, the Mr Bean of the football world.
The Irish Cup Final was played in Belfast on Friday night and 500 invited guests were allowed in. Even that small number made it feel less like a training ground game. How many socially distanced fans would be allowed in Spurs stadium? Five thousand, ten thousand. On the Spurs shop noticed the elite man’s shirt is priced at the increased cost of £100.
Great to see that even with Covid some things don’t change. Though as someone said you don’t have to buy it.
IMO it’s another make or break season!
Blame Daniel!
I find it funny “we can’t spend like a CL club when not in the CL” yet ticket prices have not dropped to match our new status.
Agreed, drifting along as we is if following a poor start to the season likely to ignite a swell of discontent surrounding ENIC!
Demonstrations and petitions won’t bother ENIC,it’s all water off a duck’s back.They are impervious to criticism.
Sadly they will be gone when they determine the most advantagious time to do so.
That certainly doesn’t appear to be any time soon what with the club and the stadium standing still financially at best.There is a lot more heartache ahead for us unfortunately.
There will be no ticket sales anyway as fans won’t be allowed into stadia. No chance the restrictions will be eased in time for September. The number of cases of the virus are going up not down.
It’s deja vu Easty. Whist I fully concur with your sentiments, you sounding like broken record as if I habe never been away, don’t talk about it. Activate an online Petition / demonstration, me lud, but anything other than keep saying ENIC OUT!!!
Chavs will now do duplicate poster of their own, no doubt about it.
I just couldn’t understand the joy expressed by Jose sad his staff at getting in the Ropey. It can only mean that Levy has given up on returning to the Champions League anytime soon and that he’s hoping wooden spoons like the Ropey League and the League Cup will satisfy the dumb f*cks and con them into thinking that the club is moving forward.
We were moving forward for 5 seasons under Pochettino, now we’re all being told to calm down and accept that we were getting way above our station to expect that to continue. Poch did it without even having a home ground ffs…
Levy & Co have saddled the club with almost 1bn of debt, of course we can’t compete you silly people. Time to lower your expectations whilst paying some of the highest ticket prices in the world to watch a team with 29% possession at home.
Levy is killing the club, slowly, year after year we become a property portfolio rather than a football club…
