Match Fulham (H) - 29/11 - 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Booing the team as a collective at the end of a half is one thing, booing an individual while he's on the ball I don't like sorry, and nor does it do any good.
Not sure where I stand on the booing... don't think I ever booed a player except maybe Dean Austin once in a while... I get the fans frustration. They've paid their money they can take their choice but Frank saying we need to all be in it together then laying into the fans doesn't sound like someone sticking together. His whole interview was a joke. No anger or hurt in his emotions. He even smiled through part of the interview which would suggest he doesn’t really care. He's already got one eye on the settlement figure
 
I was out this evening, so I choose to watch replay without knowing result. After 2nd goal I was so angry I decided to skip to the end. And there is Danso long throw into the box. I almost broke my TV.
Frank can fuck off and his stupid set-pieces tactics. I’m sick of it. I was sick of it when we had results here and there. Now we lost 5 out of 7. TIME TO GO
 
I'm not going again, until things change - others in the same block seem to have already made that decision. Lots of empty seats.
There were more there than I expected tonight; I assume many who had listed their tickets turned up when they failed to sell, but there were still a lot of empty seats.

I’ll be there next Saturday, but I’m not looking forward to it.

We have scored 1 goal from a long throw in 20 games annd that was in the super cup!!! 19 games since we scored from it Utterly pointless tactic.
 
But most of the same players.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig.
Our new midfielder...

Vicario is the single reason why we aren't ALREADY in 15th and worrying about Leeds.

But even if he'd been having a poor season rather than the very good one he has had so far it still wouldn't justify booing him in game for a mistake.
Yeah and I'm going to think all that when he's just cost us a second goal in 3 minutes, aren't I? I don't know about you, but I get emotional at a game. And to repeat myself - I stopped myself from booing because I don't like it - but I can fully understand why passionate Spurs fans did it. Maybe you're just not as passionate as them.

That wasn’t booing a player ; it was booing a shit-show provided by-15 or so multi-millionaires who only.have to turn up for work for a few hours once or twice a week; in front of the the poor sods who pay their wages .

Too much too ask ?
 
I disagree. This squad isn't a dumpster fire. I'm sorry that you think they are all useless but we won the Europa League last season with these players + we've added 200m in players + 2 full internationals on loan. If you think that this level of performance is the absolute best this squad can do then thats on you. I disagree and think with right manager and some confidence they should be top 5 or 6. Thats my view and I'm not shifting.
Where did i say they're ALL useless???

And i know you won't shift your view, you're an idiot!

Well at least it wasn’t a total disaster despite being an utter mess and a complete fucking shambles .

Apologies for my language.

I watched it in a pub .

Utter wank-show . IMO .

Any positive takes on this evening’s entertainment would be very welcome.

I know TF and the boys are doing there best . F - em basically.

Despite the performances, which I think are a result of this, the goals conceded seem to be constantly some kind of 'mean machine' calamity mistakes.

I don't feel like this is as blatantly hopeless as the results last season, where we're being totally ran over - the last 2 games especially have been like we have several of our back 5 playing for the other side

Did he legit smile or was it nervous? Reckless if the former. Just need a stale window for him to call out the board and get his manager bingo money.
 
The pressure of playing fir this club is overtaking the ability to thrive.

No other way to explain it.

It's perplexing and painful.

Frank will be running out of ideas and time at this rate.

It's shocking.
There should be no pressure as we are not a top team regularly challenging for trophies. Hence why said Frank should have used this season to work on building the team and squad trying diff players and our youngsters. Either that or he was bought in to take us a step forward after winning EL.

Calamity Goals happen ; I get it .

But why the 80 odd minutes of non-football that came after .

Explain that .
 
The most annoying thing about this season for me has been not being able to bask in being champions. I wanted to be able to gloat.
My heart sank walking in to the ground near the south stand hearing a bunch of Fulham fans sing champions of Europe, you’re having a laugh.

The icing on the cake was getting covered in beer thrown by disgruntled home fans at them.

Haven’t enjoyed being champions at all. This club man.
 
Just got in from the game , well I call it a game but it was more of an embarrassment . 0-2 down after 6mins , we didn't have the fight in us to wrestle the game back in our favour . We were just static , no movement and no desire . I can sum the game up in 5 words :- "We stunk the place out".

This is not the first game this season where we didn't have any class on show . We're supposed to win our home games and try to win some of the away fixtures . But instead we're having some success on the road but just curl up at home .

The songs :- well we sang "when the spurs go marching in" but before we could get any songs going we were a goal down then 2mins later we were 0-2 down . They on the other hand sang all night . It's difficult to get songs going when your head is in your hands in disbelief . I could say that the ref was suspect but I would probably get slated for trying to make excuses for a disgusting display . How can we go toe to toe with scum and PSG for large parts of those games but can't cope with a misfiring Fulham .

Questions were being asked at half time with our group unanimous that Thomas Frank is not good enough to get a song out of - what 20 odd International players ? I thought we were suspect last season and we're now borderline relegation material .

I'm not going on Tuesday , I have family things to do , I'm quite relieved as I don't fancy our chances against a rampant Toon .
