Let's Get Behind The Team

I've got a couple of spare tickets today if anyone wants them.

Rap where u having a beer ?

"Let's remember we're playing a good team today and try to be patient with the players."

What, as opposed to bottom of the league, without a win, West Bromich Albion? Just saying.

I agree the supporters should always get behind the team, but it has to be a two-way contract. If the players are happy just to stroll around without giving a feck, why should the supporters not get on their backs. You have to give something to get something back. Too many Spurs players are just not putting in a proper shift.

I think the players and the crowd atmosphere may not be the issue here. After watching Spurs, and their attitude toward the game, with intent over the past few years I have a theory.

People on here are saying "so and so isn't a good player" or "that caaant needs to get out of the club".

I don't believe it's the players talent and ability that is the problem. I think it may well be something more sinister. For example that attitude behind close doors, and maybe in Tottenham, Haringey in general.

Think of it like this, you are at work, and your boss is a right controlling arrogant beach who doesn't give a shieet about you. How is your work ethic going to be. You feel like you are expendable, replaceable, not worthy. You are not going to put your heart into the job at hand. You came to the job feeling proud, but what you ended up experiencing in real life was not what you thought.

You can't just switch it on when you want, or demanded to. You may have the talent and skill, I may be a seks god, but if I am not in the mood, my wife isn't doing it for me at the time I won't perform well.

And for players to see how their team mates are treated right in front of them. Consider Defoe, Pav, Krancjar, Sandro, Dempsey, to name but a few.

Open your eyes, think outside the box, and see.

Not sure I entirely agree with this. If players are strolling around the pitch then it's the fault of the manager. It's his job to motivate and sub under performing players.
If true booing the players is booing Poch.

Players are bought and sold by every team. That's life as a footballer wherever they choose to play.

If you consider the way Ade, Lamella, Rose, Soldado, Verts - to name but a few - are treated, it would seem that Spurs' management are more than loyal/patient with the squad.

Hi Raptor, I am running late today. Have a top one my man

We are due a performance at the Lane that is for sure, so many players are yet to hit form, Ade, Eriksen, Dembele etc, it is time they took a game by the scruff of the neck

I hate our negative fans nowadays, we've done fack all to have this level of expectations and frustrations
