AVB on home support

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Everyone be careful in this argument, the last thing this forum needs is its own Adrian Durham... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...llas-Boas-wrong-criticise-Tottenham-fans.html

We need to a do a Tumblr for this Thundercunt "Adrian's Secret Diary".

Oh diary today I had to write about those awful racists from North London. They came over here and took all our jobs and brought the migrant plague to Blighty.

God bless the Daily Mail, God bless Joe Hart.

Oh how I yearn for Thatcher.

Cunt. £5 says the female fan is @ sammyspurs sammyspurs mother!

Dembele says so - and he's more famous than you.

Obviously we can argue that the same pitch dimensions have seen great fluid play over the years - but with AVB's particular style of play, and the many non-british players we now have perhaps also not liking the narrow pitch, it could be a factor.

Grasping at straws a bit I suppose, but we really have been unentertaining at home for a few years now - even under Redknapp most 1st halfs were dire - didn't get going until 2nd halfs

Pat Nevins' analysis of pitch sizes and how it contributes to style of play.

With regard to this 1882 thing would it not be better to have pockets of fans all around the ground or even just along one side of the ground - far more chance of those between the pockets joining in.

I can see your logic if you mean grouping 50 together and splitting between each block going across the east upper, maybe it could work but the way the tickets are sold im not sure how you can gurantee we would all sit together. Also, you'd probably find that some fans wouldnt want our kind in their block because we'd ruin their moaning experience innit and ting.

Absolutely true. But these cheese eating, book reading prawn sandwich brigade need to fuck off home if they can't get behind the boys. IMO Stewards should be chucking people out for 1. berating our players mid game and 2. not singing/supporting loudly enough.

A few people getting chucked out for not supporting properly, word will spread and WHL will become an audible delight if even people are only singing to keep themselves inside!
 
I think it comes down to this: Are you a Spectator, or are you a Supporter?

If you're a supporter, SUPPORT the team. Support means help, aid, pick up when down. Cheer on, motivate. Embrace the highs, ride the lows. Pass comment, sure, but be the wind in the sails, not the brick wall in the way.

If you're a spectator, stay at home and watch the game on TV.
 
I don't believe that ticket prices have had that much of an effect on the atmosphere at games; I think there are enough people there who want to sing, but are too embarrassed to be the only one.

How many times have you been at a game and one or two people try to start a song, but you wait for a few more to join in before singing along? How many times have you thought, "A good round of We Are Tottenham would be good right now" but not stood up and belted it out? I know I have, and whilst a lot of you will say "not me" it must be you as well or else we wouldn't have a problem.

The reason this has become a problem is that we used to have a conductor, we used to have one driving force which chose the song and got everyone on the Shelf and Park Lane singing it together. Since that drum was banned, we get little pockets of singing which never quite match time with each other and peter out far too easily.

My proposal is this. Next time you're at WHL (when 1882 aren't), get up, throw your arms wide and sing along with that random bloke three rows down who's trying to get a COYS running. Don't let him be the odd one out and leave him looking like a prick, make the quiet sod (god knows why he's sitting in the PL mind) the weirdo. And when you're someone else nearby and see the second guy start singing, be the third, and so on.

We can sit here all day and blame "those melty cunts" if we like but I'm convinced there are more than enough people at the Lane every game that can more than drown out the miserable twats if they just got together in unison!
 
Mousa Dembele claims the White Hart Lane pitch is partly to blame for his team’s lack of goals at home this season. White Hart Lane is 100 metres long and 67m wide and only Crystal Palace, Fulham and Stoke have smaller pitches. The majority in the Premier League are 105m long and 68m wide.

Although Spurs played with two orthodox wingers yesterday in Andros Townsend and Aaron Lennon, Dembele believes the dimensions of the playing area are restricting the team.

“It’s not easy for us,” said the Belgium midfielder. “We know that some teams are going to come here and make a block, and we don’t have a big pitch so it’s even more difficult.

“A small pitch makes it harder. If we have more space, it’s easier for us but we have to find a way. The manager will speak to us as well, because we always have a bit of difficulty with these kinds of teams. We’ve spoken about it, and everyone was saying ‘wow, it’s unbelievable — everybody is playing like this against us’. But it’s not only us, because these kinds of sides do it against all the top teams.

“It’s maybe a bit easier for us when teams try to attack us. It was a similar situation last year in games like this. We hardly ever win them comfortably but we have a lot of quality in the squad, so there must be a way to find it and I think we will.”

... Oh Mr. Sugar ... please :avbfu:

For the amount of bollocks that Sugar talks you'd think he actually achieved something. The man presided over probably the darkest period in Spurs history and made the genius decisions of sacking Venebles and appointing Francis, Gross, and Graham in succession. That just beggars belief.

Under Sugar our finishes were 15th, 8th, 15th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 14th, 11th, 10th, and 12th. It's incredible that they still even let him come to games. There's no person related to Spurs that I wish would just fuck off more. Him running his mouth about the club is galling.
 
We haven't had a proper, GOOOOOOD S-L-O-W "Oh When The Spuuuuuuuuurs" (3-verse version) for ages...

Definitely need to get that sweeping round WHL tomorrow!
