Bizarre post.

A fambase as large ss ours will also have a massive range of differing emotions at play.

If we are considered to be playing well short of expectation, what do you think is a likeky response from some of these fans?

It comes with the territory.

What is "bizarre" about me having an opinion?

I'm fully aware that some of our fans love nothing more than to call managers or players cunts and boo them and even racially vilify them on social media via anonymous accounts.

My opinion is that I don't particularly like it nor understand it most of the time.

YMMV
 
Hard to watch this and reconcile it with the anger and vitriol coming from sections of the fan base. I mean you may not think he's the right guy but he's just doing what he was hired to do. We had 8 years of Brentford to know exactly what we were hiring when we appointed him.

But then I've never understand the vitriol directed at any of of our managers/players in the past (with the possible exception of Ndombele when he started taking the piss).
I'm the last person to direct vitriol at any manager or player. In the dark last days of Conte I just stopped watching.

I think I've found myself more understanding of the boos now than I ever have though.

I get needing to be defensively strong but we seem to have completely lost any urgency to attack.

So many games lately where I've actually yelled at the TV as players reject the chance to play forward and instead play it backwards. There is no urgency. There's no excitement.

Our games...and our team...is boring.

That is unforgivable for Spurs. It is simply not good enough.

Agreed, but what if you aren't the last person....
 
H - Sunderland
A - Bournemouth
H - West Ham
A - Burnley
We'll draw or lose to Sunderland. Same at Bournemouth. Draw or narrow win vs Spam. Draw or narrow win at Burnley.

So between 2 and 8 points out of the next 4 games. Unless we pick up 8 or more, and we've done so by playing better football...sack the eunuch seriously. But I bet even if we pick up say 2 to 4 points, they'll still keep him.

After that run, the next 4 are both Manchester's, Newcastle and Woolwich, fortunately 3 at home.
If Frank is still in the hotseat, we'll lose to City at home, draw or lose to United away, draw vs the Geordies at ours, then obviously get beat by the thundercunts at the Lane. Another 1 to 2 points to add to the board. Brilliant.


Ps: let's not forget the Villa cup game (H) + Dortmund (H) and Frankfurt (A) in the CL. Reckon we get knocked out by Villa, draw vs Dortmund and same away at Frankfurt. Might even lose the last one...know we won there in the EL last season, but they would've scored about 5 if their RB wasn't so shite.

This squad, as it’s currently built, is a managerial graveyard. There’s ability in the squad, but the football IQ and cohesion simply aren’t there. Change the manager if you like – after a brief honeymoon, the outcome will be exactly the same.

The worry with Frank based on what I’ve seen is that you could give him prime versions of Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Kaka and Zidane and he would still fancy playing Bentancur and Pahlinha ahead of them as it’s all about the clean sheet mentality
