is there anyone that doesn't know, deep down, that this is the case?
it doesn't matter who is in the shirt, or the dugout, Spurs gonna Spurs

And yet we are the 3rd highest scoring team in the Prem.
Which says a lot
- We have a really good attacking lineup (everyone knows)
- When we do attack (the 2nd half statistics bear it out), we can be a better team

In which opinion would Conte be right in? That we have selfish players? If we did, why didn't he drop them?
Is he right in the opinion that the club is used to mediocrity? Maybe. But what does he mean by mediocrity? If he means that a proper footballing vision and operation behind it is not in place, he would be right. But if that was the case, then what the hell was he doing taking the Spurs job to begin with? For someone with his experience that would be something that would be easy to identify before accepting the job.
Nah, Conte was right because even a broken clock is right twice a day. I'm not saying everything is perfect at the club and that changes aren't needed, but what Conte was pointing out are not it.
Clearly questionable source, but, tf? -> 2km runs BEFORE matches and negative talk: How Antonio Conte's Tottenham reign turned sour | Daily Mail Online
Conte often had them run 2km before matches. Players wouldn't dare moan in his earshot, but privately they were baffled.

Due to a large part, not to the manager, but because we have arguably the best striker in the world playing for us. Without Kane, I am sure we would be mid table this season. The manager's tactics have reduced Son to a shadow of his former self and Richalison hasn't had a look in.

2km sounds like a gentle warmup for a professional athlete

There’s not enough context to know. Was it 2km in the warm up? If so, sounds reasonable. Was it 2km in addition to the warm up? If so, sounds like a lot and explains our sluggish first halves. Was it 2km the day before a match? If so, sounds extremely dumb.

Arsenal have 69 points from 28 games which is 2.4 points per game. At that rate they will finish on 93 points. So no they aren't doing well because everyone else is failing a la Leicester, they are doing well because they are playing well and winning matches. With their points total they would still be challenging City or Liverpool even in their best seasons and would likely win the PL in the majority of seasons assuming they do not collapse at some point.

I've often wondered which journos and TV heads support which club. Well, award-winning wit Jonathan Liew has just put forward a very good case for confessing to be a Spurs fan.
Or a fanatical researcher.
C'mon. What sort of scribbler creates detailed banter about Leandro Damiao? One that follows Spurs close enough to be called a fan. Welcome, Jonathan.

No injuries, no serious European competition to concern them, morale building easiest start to the season any club has ever had, all but one refereeing decision their way (and that guy got sacked to scare off the others).
The things outside their control could not have gone better for them this season.
On top of all that, they've had a midfielder that they shouldn't have had for reasons I'm still not allowed to mention here.

Maybe they don't need a manager, really, because I find them easily baffled: they didn't like Mourinho, they didn't like Espirito Santo and they didn't like Conte either. And in the end, they wouldn't play for Pochettino. If these reports were true - fortunately, they're not - they'd be a tough crowd. It's the same crap everytime a manager is sacked. When it's someone they like, readers don't believe it; when it's someone they don't like, obviously, it has to be the truth.

It may be down to meeting consumers demands but I find little match reporting in the articles I've read over the last decade, it's mainly about individuals or club status, the whole world appear to be focused on personality rather than facts.

And.... They've also been the best team in the league this season, playing positively and deserving to win every game they have won.
I disagree. City have been far better without the same level of fortune from events outside their control.

I’m not sure there’s the same need for match reporting in the way there was even 10 years ago. Now anyone with a smartphone (basically everyone) can see the important moments in a game 10 minutes after the final whistle.
The focus has therefore turned towards comment even in match reports - which, to my mind, makes them a more interesting read anyhow.
It's standard fare, the reasons things go wrong is because the players aren't connecting with what the manager is doing, and if the results don't match, it becomes self fulfilling, i.e. I don't understand why this guy is asking me to do this, and result doesn't work out .. see? i told you so
Again, not buying in 100%, but the commentary below is horrendous, if I knew my boss was paid £13.5M/yr and he asked me to solve his problems?
Towards the end of January, Antonio Conte gathered his Tottenham players at the club's Enfield HQ for a heart-to-heart. The Italian wanted to get to the bottom of the team's run of one Premier League win in five, including three damaging defeats. As the final player arrived, Conte walked out - telling his players he wanted them to find the solution to their wretched form. Among the squad, there was a sense that performances and results had been hampered by Conte's rigid and defensive tactics. When senior players reported back to Conte after the crisis talks, they pleaded with him to release the shackles and be more expansive in their attacking play.
