the North London Derby does not really interest me that much. Both teams are underachieving, and after last week`s limp capitulation at City, I have had enough. Half the team is injured, the selectons by AVB (and I have backed him fully thus far) are getting stranger by the minute, Lloris cannot get in the team in front of a 41 year old, complete joke that one. Even if Spurs were winning with 10 minutes to go, we all know the outcome, almost certain defeat. The team has no mental strength these days, and I am fully expecting the team to roll over to a pretty average Arsenal side, if the truth be told. Too many of the players are just happy to take the money, and not put in a full shift.
I know you should be fully behind the team when the going gets tough, but this team need to start giving something back to the supporters, instead of constantly letting them down with half-hearted displays and defending that you would not see up the park. I am one not very happy bunny going into tomorrow`s game, and have decided not to even watch it, that way I cannot get annoyed when it all goes wrong again.
Rant over, best of luck to the team tomorrow, but I fear it will be the same old same.
For the first time in over 50 years

Evening mate, no this is definitely not a wum article, I really am fed up with the attitude of the team, and their ability to keep shooting themselves in the foot, and not being able to keep a clean sheet, hardly fills me with confidence. They may surprise me, but I doubt it. I have a feeling there may be some trouble in the camp, hope not, but all the signs are there. The goalie situation for one has to be one of the strangest ever.

Sandy ...they need a rocket up them for sure ...it does smell of disharmony in the camp, lets hope its just a general malaise that will pass

Is that not the definition of a plastic? We aren't doing well so I'm not going to watch. So, if you guys get on a patch of form (which to be honest I think you will) or say get to a cup final, would you not watch then? Thick and thin mate, as a supporter you have to be there

I'm sorry, I don't buy that as a true supporter of a team you would ever contemplate not watching a game like the NLD, regardless of current form. How long you have been watching them shouldn't be a factor

Yeah Sandy ..all those years spent watching Spurs at their best and at their worst dont count ...DoubleDoubleDouble has got a point, and the fact you have spent your life supporting Spurs is of no consequence ...and pestering the old boys when you were a lad to tell you all about the '21 team of the club you loved isnt a factor - you are as plastic as a nail

I'm just asking why a supposed die hard spurs fan would not watch a NLD. As a proper fan you dont really get to pick and choose when you support your team you just do it. Are you watching the game?

Sandy - I agree with your sentiments our mental resolve at Spurs is like an egg shell and a few articles ago I mentioned that top class sport is played in the mind and our players are mentally weak.
When you see giant killers in the FA Cup they win through sheer guts & determination which is sadly lacking at WHL.
Self motivation comes from within and you can have the best sports psychologists in the world but it is down to the players !!
