Tottenham 1-3 Crystal Palace
Spurs fan Harry, who left yesterday’s game at half-time, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live: “We’re in big trouble right now. I don’t know where anything good comes from this right now.
“The simple thing is it’s one constant in all the manager changes and it’s the board, it’s ENIC, it’s the Lewis family. You have to think that the neglect that went through the team where we have a board right now that cares more about money than the football on the pitch.
“It isn’t just this season, you could go all the way back to Poch [Mauricio Pochettino], where we didn’t invest in that time – it’s nearly seven/eight years since that happened now, and we’re reaping what we sow.
“We can get out of it but I don’t have any faith in those players.
“I look at the squad now and think to myself, ‘Can we even do it in the Championship?’ The Championship is not an easy league. A lot of these players are going to leave, a lot of them don’t have the mentality for it. And who’s going to be left to fight for us? I don’t know who that is.”
On why he left at half-time: “The reality of things is I’ve been going to Spurs since I was three years old, I’m 28 years old now and I’ve never left early. I’ve never been that type of fan.
“But I felt dejected yesterday. It was a case of it’s been very toxic in that stadium where fans go at each other and stuff like that. It was awful last night. It felt like an emptiness last night.”
