The fact is that you can lose or win but you 've got to fight, to demonstrate your devotion to the cause. We have had worst roster, also in early days, but they never play with this lack of passion
And i'm afraid to watch...........................
I'm going through one of Ade's 'sad moments'
the ball is round lolYes yes yes, the pitch is too small, the fans are scary, the climate is cold.
Not to be funny ade but no one cares you are a huge let down this season you need to leave I just hope the board stick with the manager and back him in the market for his players because that squad is so far apart it is unreal the lot of them need to have a good look at themselvesThe negative atmosphere created by Tottenham's fans at their White Hart Lane home is damaging the players' confidence, says Emmanuel Adebayor.

Redknapp knows how to put a team together, but got tactically found out sometimes and also had two consecutive downturns in form in the second half of the season. There was a manager who could put a team together and was tactically astute: Rafa Benitez was my first choice, but he wasn't Levy's choice, bizarrely despite the good jobs he's done in the EPL. However, MP is a good manager and none of our competitors is doing well. The end of the season is when it matters, so if he gets his style then it will be fine. He has improved players who were thought to be beyond the pale, eg Naughton and Rose.Only a few people are reading the headline instead of the qutoes, which is a small mercy.
It's one of the frankest and harshest interviews with a Spurs player I've ever seen. Once you allow for English being his second or third language, it's positively eloquent. Adebayor deserves some credit for apportioning responsibility where it belongs - to everyone.
The players are good. The team isn't working. As someone who thinks Mr Harry Redknapp is the biggest bullshit artist in English football, I'd propose that what we are pining for is someone who can get good players to play like brilliant players. Someone like Harry.
There are a lot of people here who insist that Redknapp only did well because of the players he had at his disposal. Bollocks. He knew how to get those players playing together, at a level higher than each individual's talent.
Now we have a manager who, in 10-20 years, might well have those skills - everyone who works with him gives his personal-management skills a glowing testimonial - but he isn't there yet. He's taken on a task to inculcate his style into players who are not well suited to it, unlike the more impressionable Southampton squad.
As I keep posting, over and over: it's going to take awhile. We'll have to grit our teeth. But I thought the football would at least be entertaining while we were adjusting, not a cross between AVB's sterile unadventurousness and Sherwood's chaos.

Ade is right
stop bloody booing.
You try going to watch that fucking disgrace of a team then. They deserve a fucking slap, let alone a bit of halftime/fulltime booing!! That first half on Sunday was the worst performance I've seen at The Lane in twenty years, no bullshit.
I really think we need to place more emphasis on intelligence when signing players. These players couldn't understand what AVB wanted & now they're struggling to understand what Poch expects. They did well under Harry, who kept it simple & gave them quite a bit of freedom. Mind you Harry did have VDV, Modric & Bale to provide the x factor ....You can bring a horse to water but you can't make him drink! That's the horses job.
Our players have the inability to take in what poch is saying, they need to learn and learn dam quick!
