It says club staff (car park attendants, cleaners, kitchen porters, Facilities management, IT support, security guards, trainee lawn mower drivers;
who knows? Certainly not the author) who may have even been Spurs fans (that's a quote from the article BTW)....were overheard by BAP suggesting that Spurs play their youth team against Citeh.....or they may not have been Spurs fans, or even football fans. No one seems to know....

Yep. Gooners crying

You lot might get a few more points if the whole club can ever stop obsessing about what they're doing

Not just the supporters, club staff as well. Recent events seem to have “revealed a fair bit” to Postacoglu about issues outside and inside the club

Culture of mediocrity

I've been revelling in bitter Arsenal tears all evening. Keep posting, every time I see stuff like this it brings me more joy.

I'm not sure he's read it himself as it's behind a paywall and I doubt he's subscriber.

Those who know don’t have to subscribe to read it..
“Normally, Postecoglou is an expert at shutting out the external noise and focusing on his job but this time, the narrative became unavoidable, even inside the club.

He made his views clear in Monday’s press conference that he has no interest in “bragging rights”. After the game, he could not hide his frustration at the subdued atmosphere. He was even caught on camera angrily shouting at a fan behind the dugout whom he had heard using abusive language. Contrary to suggestions that the fan in question had told Postecoglou to throw the game, one witness told The Athletic the fan had asked Postecoglou why he had not shown the same animation earlier in the season rather than just against City. The fan was then ejected from the stadium.

Most aggravating of all to Postecoglou was the sense that a few club staff — many of whom are Spurs fans — had been relaxed about losing because of the title context. While the majority of club staff had been focusing on their work as normal, the prospect of losing to City had been a theme of jokes among a minority of staff for the last week. When one member of the support staff joked that Spurs should play a youth team against City, the manager was furious. Tottenham deny this.

Postecoglou’s mood had deteriorated in recent weeks given the bad results, but this dynamic lit the fuse in him. The whole notion of being happy to lose a game had shocked him.

What great day for Spurs and cause for much celebration among their faithful. It really doesn't get any better than this

Many before the season were saying top 6 would be good with so many new players, the loss of Kane, wasn't sure Richie would do well...
Then we got giddy with the good start..

Finishing 5th in a building season is OK, just need to work out now how we strengthen the squad and do it properly over the summer. Get the signings in early

I think when he retires and has time to reflect on his career, if he is being totally honest with himself, deep down I think Kyle Walker will regret that he left the Spurs

Can't believe they are all jumping on a plane this morning to fly to Australia to play Newcastle.

I suspect Modric will have bigger regrets.

Bale’s regrets were so huge that he came back.

But apparently the league is overloaded and managers can't cope with injuries....

[Guvernator]

Let's face it, they aren't going to be busting a gut. It's a lads jolly, paid for by work.

They will then have a few weeks off.

Don't see the issue.

End of season piss up. I'm sure BFS blagged a seat for the trip to help get on the turps.
