No-one's doing either of those things.
1. You'll find people against booing in every fan-base.
2. This only became a topic as Conte just mentioned it.
I don't think anyone is saying that booing is a uniquely Spurs thing, and I agree that everyone has the right to voice their displeasure.
Booing certainly leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I hear it, and hopefully the team got a managerial rocket up them after such a poor half.
Each to their own.
Yeah they are. The posts I'm responding to are directly saying our players struggle at home because our fans are so bad, or the reason we've lacked success is because our fans are toxic.
& that's fine. You can be against booing, whatever. But it's not the cause of any of our problems, just a side effect of the demands & expectations of modern fans. And Conte can be annoyed at the fans if he likes, but the fans reactions are just a reflection of the quality of football being served up.
You don't say?
Should've won that, second half was among the best of the season. Hit the post at least twice, referee refusing to give us anything.
Bissouma was great.
Urgently need two CB upgrades, a new RWB and a creative midfielder. Tired of Dier's routine 1 mistake per match.

responses in this thread. The happy clappers won't be happy. I literally posted this and got about 10 disagrees for it, after the marseille game when everyone was wanking themselves silly with celebrations in the changing room. Don't get me wrong qualifying for the next round was critical for us. But we acted like a team that just won the competition.
I'm just watching the NFL now. NY Jets who are perennial losers just beat the team tipped to be the best in the league (Buffalo Bills). The NY Jets manager in his post match conference said to his players don't act like you've won the super bowl, this should be the norm. Expect to be better and do better, this is just another game. Muted celebrations, for me that's a manager instilling a mentality change. The exact opposite of what we have at spurs, it all stems from levy though.
Real ones know that against any half decent team, unlike Marseille etc we will get put out of sight in the first half and today showed that along with Newcastle. We learnt nothing from that. I said instead of going overboard with the celebrations the players and staff should be reflecting on that shit first half performance against marseille because we won't keep getting away with it. Did we reflect, like fuck we did and we paid for it.
The same could easily happen in the R16 until we start playing from the first second.
Actually I know why we dont press and its contes game plan. The same fn game plan he has played for fn years.. No pressure on the ball, dms in tight to 3 ch no space in between the lines and hit on the break.
Our back 5, for that is what it is when we don't have the ball is not that slow, it's maybe not the fastest but it should be able to position itself correctly.
Everytime we lose the fucking ball Conte has us retreat into his defensive formation, while other teams try to win it back up the park we surrender territory and procession in a 1980s Italian style... . Today when contes plan failed again we had to head over the halfway line and press and badabing badaboom we took control of the midfield.... Still next game it will be the same old shit again....
Yup. We were all very happy when the groups were announced. It was the easiest group out of the 8.
All things considered I thought we played close to a perfect game. The lineup was wacky, but if Lucas and Kulu aren’t fully fit we couldn’t do much different other than Doherty in. On another day we win that 3-1.
For me the penalty incidents weren’t even debatable. Both were stonewall fouls if outside the box.
I know there’s no room for sentiment in football but I kind of feel bad for Dier. Chance to be a big part of the World Cup and it seems he’s completely gone off the boil.

The guy next to me (in a premium seat,because mine is right next to them) spent the entire first half videoing the game on his phone. Felt like telling him to watch the game with his eyes and not through a camera. Also, as I was walking up the gangway to go to the bar, an American asked me where the gift shop was! I mentioned earlier that I have never seen so many half & half scarves on display.
I know that everyone is entitled to enjoy a game in their own way, but so many tourists around these days, who just see it as another experience like going to the Tower of London.
At least I got to the noodle shop after the game, the only thing that eased the pain.
And that’s the point
Teams like Liverpool do get penalties for that
We fucking don’t!!!
At an elite level little things matter.
We were not exceptional but we were in the game and it was going to plan.
But you can’t account for a bullshit var call. We equalise there and it’s a different game.
The dier goal you can account for because inevitably one of our defenders switch off and gift a team a goal.

Gutted, but a few positives to take away.
Bentacur, Bissouma and later on Kulu were great.
They were just hanging on at the end, and as has been mentioned at infinitum, we cant afford to start so slowly.
I am a massive Conte an, however the continual selection of Royal has me baffled. He was woeful today.
By games end, I thought we at least deserved a point.

1970s porn star....
And the alternative is Sanchez....roll on the January window but we've been here before so I don't expect much...I think the January window will decide whether or not AC will stay and if he goes, then I think Harry will be taking German lessons....
