@SpursArmyTweets @FA_PGMOL The comms push the narrative that it’s different fucking hate it

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS??? 😂😂😂 It’s ludicrous. Week on week, @FA_PGMOL shoot themselves in the foot. How can one be disallowed, but the other be allowed??? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ VAR DECISION: whatever screws #thfc

@ChrisCowlin I’ve stopped looking on here now. Too much rubbish aggregating and just depressing at all levels

Sometimes in life you need to defend yourself. I will NOT have my good, professional reputation ruined by a couple idiots online just making ridiculous things up, judging my character and questioning my integrity, my loyalty and love for Spurs. On Sunday, Fulham away will be my 75th Spurs related game on this season, covering the men’s first team, the U21s and the U18s and the Women’s team, home and away, as well as pre-season in South Korea, Hong Kong and Germany. On social media, I am extremely careful what I post, how I post and what I say on various platforms. I have always maintained a good level of professionalism, am also polite and friendly, have never used “clickbait” and have a lot of respect from a lot of professional people who work in the football industry. I am extremely proud that I run and host the most watched and listened to Tottenham related YouTube channel and podcast and with that comes a lot of responsibility, so I am very careful what goes out and how things are worded. In the last few days, I have learnt a lot about people, social media, the people who want to stir trouble, the many individuals who just want to bring you down without even the story, the background, and many of these people don’t even know me or have met me. Most aren’t even young and naïve, they are full grown adults who are jealous, they are here online to hate, be negative and want to cause trouble to others. I’ve also learnt a lot from certain individuals who haven’t said a word, when they know the fully story. Social media, particularly X, can be vile at times, but surely people can have a mind of their own, think for themselves and not be led my idiots, liars, stirrers and jealous individuals. If you don’t know the back story, I posted a video on Sunday, during the North London derby, showing Tudor talking to his defence asking them to “push up”, he was talking to his whole defence and my caption on X was “Igor Tudor is constantly at Micky van de Ven, telling the back-line to push up!” Earlier I posted another post “Igor Tudor seems to be very hands-on early on, having chats with van de Ven, Bissouma, Spence and Sarr.” – NOTHING in these two posts were inaccurate, clickbait or were aimed to cause trouble or negatively, and Tudor himself in the press conference confirmed he was talking to his “whole defence” – as I stated. What happened following the post, people took it upon themselves to create their own narrative, and despite watching the video themselves many went on to criticise and say all sorts, some media outlets picked this up and they also created 1,001 stories. It’s extremely weird how so many have a problem with what I wrote (facts) and if you go onto many of their profiles they have been slating the club all season, the manager(s), the players and the fans, pretty much everything. This season hasn’t been a good one on the pitch and I get the frustration. Anyone that actually knows me knows what sort of person I am and I shouldn’t be explaining myself here; but try questioning the people who created all these narratives, made lies up, created headlines, etc, it simply wasn’t me. The other thing that is extremely weird with some, people assume so much about me, without asking, like YouTube is my job, it isn’t. And only last week I was a “happy clapper” and “he works for the club!” And now I apparently want to bring the club down and slate a player. No, absolutely not. What will it be next week? Some have agendas, I get it, some see I run a very successful channel and they want the same. People always want what you have – that’s life. I work very hard in a professional way every day, constantly evolving in what I do on a daily basis and always try to remain positive, something else I am often criticised for… Would I really have a channel that has had 190 million views and over 207,000 subscribers if I acted the way some have stated? Like I said, 75 games so far this season, and this is also something I get criticised for – how can you get criticised by supporting the club all over?! What a crazy world we live in. Tottenham Hotspur is my passion, I love the club, Life is far too short, want to follow me, fine, don’t want to follow, no problem at all, don’t like what I do or don’t agree with my opinions, I don’t care about numbers, how many clicks, how many followers, etc - no hard feelings at all – just block, we all move on, but have a mind of your own, don’t scapegoat people. This is the last I will say on this matter, and it’s also the last time I write something like this on X explaining myself. And many thanks to the people who have reached out in the last few days. Have a great weekend and let’s hope for three points at Craven Cottage. #COYS #THFC

@fullback03 I mean Tudor has been known to go onto the pitch during a match so we may not be whiter than white from now on

If Arteta sets foot out of his technical area towards ours can Tudor just launch him in the 5th row pls.

@ROTS1882 I just don’t get it, they should not be allowed into the ground. I’m sure I heard no half half’s earlier in the season against Villa

@JoeYids I walked past someone taking my 10yo to football training in his spurs shirt and he booed at us. Ignored him, turned to my son and said “what a prick!”

Some bloke asked me what team I supported last night when I was watching the Arsenal game. I said Tottenham and he said “oh, you support spuds” I got up and walked away. Not conversing with anyone that says spuds.

@SkySportsPL So Foden should get a retrospective 3 match ban then

Dermot Gallagher said Phil Foden was “really, really lucky” not to receive a red card for his challenge on Calvin Bassey during Man City’s 3-0 win over Fulham 😬👀

@RichardNea86395 @1882_Tottenham @FA_PGMOL Var

@1882_Tottenham @FA_PGMOL Foden was lucky with that one. Both are probably in that tricky orange card category though. I can't remember, but did the ref or VAR give the Simons one?

When the @FA_PGMOL mark their own homework regarding VAR, which identical tackle are they admitting they got wrong?

@RyanCurtis111 @SeanDZWalsh He even said it was high and then it clearly wasn’t so he should have looked again…

@SeanDZWalsh From this angle it's even more apparent this should never be a red card in a football match Awful

Crazy foreshadowing/Cristian Romero literally asked for it

@cynodictxx @Footballtweet Depends how much he drank

@Footballtweet He’ll never forget this memory.

📅 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞: Last season, a group of 150 Southend United Football Club fans hired a ‘party boat’ to take them down the Thames to their match against Sutton. On the boat, they met an American tourist called Evan who was sitting quietly by himself. They asked him if he was okay and it turned out that he had got on the boat by accident and thought he was doing a sightseeing tour of London. 😂😂😂 They instantly took him under their wing, got the beers in, and gave him a ticket to the match that ended 1-1. All throughout the game the away fans were chanting ‘Evan is a Shrimper’. 😂😂😂😂🦐 📸 Andy Ward

@RachelVMartin Also was in the film Layer Cake when (if you remember) someone beats up Frank and pours tea all over him

When you find a wonderful cafe in the heart of London, selling delicious, cheap food, with a smile. And then you discover have something special in common….. #coys caferegency.co.uk

@SSpurs1971 @RachelVMartin I believe it’s changed owners in the past year. That said the abruptness of the staff shouting out orders was a part of its charm

@RachelVMartin Yeah loads of complaints

@dougbagleyfdl It’s weird as the atmosphere seems to be better at these lower attendance games. Possibly due to the winning 🤣

On the long train journey home. Really pleased with the result and things are looking good for a top 8 finish. Congratulations to all of our players. I thought they played for all the Spurs fans in the attendance of 52,713 and those watching on TV. Spurs won! Come on you Spurs!

@FBAwayDays I don’t think it’s needed. At very most take one beer bought before the match/second half to your seat. Last thing I want is people getting up and down all half to get beers.

A senior EFL official told MPs that they should consider trialling football fans being able to drink alcohol while watching matches. Would you welcome the move? 🍻

@H0H0v Me cause they’re both slow

Which runner will finish FIRST?

@Thfc_RR Jurgen klingsman is the only answer here

Name that Tottenham player?

@FBAwayDays Been there 3 times and never really felt in danger

Have you ever visited this place for an away day? Is it as intimidating as they all say?

@JackPittBrooke By far the best player on the pitch

Adam Wharton makes passing the ball forward to a team-mate look like the simplest thing in the world. Which is strange because Tottenham's midfielders generally make it look like trying to solve a niche branch of quantum mechanics.

@SpursOfficial we need stewards in the 511 area when we play the bigger teams. People celebrating all over the place today and no one to take action. Also please blanket ban half half scarfs they just encourage this

@matthayesthfc Still away fans in the home end and yet I’m the only one calling them out when they celebrate the goal…

Best atmosphere I've experienced here all season.

@THSTOfficial Junior concessions on sale all round the ground this time??

We are pleased that the Club has listened to our representations on ticket pricing and extending concessions to young adults for the FA Cup game v Villa #FillOurHome, Find Our Voice tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2025/dece…
