i'm guessing these are your comments from the facebook page then :pompous:







/:pompous:

to be honest, the only embarrassing comments i see on that page are those. god forbid we have fans showing support for one of our players, who fucking cares if it's swamped with algerians showing their love for bentaleb, it's certainly a whole lot better than stupid negative comments like these.
Bang on, I was just coming in to say whats wrong with a proportion of our fans having a love in over a player of ours?

What is embarrassing is seeing some of the stuff Spurs fans write about their own players on twitter and on facebook.


I bet they are the same people who moan about the youth players not given a chance as well[/quote]
You know it.

I think this is a typical thing in the arabic part of Africa. As people already pointed out it was the same with Mido, and also my local Norwegian team Aalesunds FK when they signed the Moroccan striker Abderazzak Hamed Allah last year. Everything the club posted, whatever it was about, got "spammed" with arabic posts, and even though they sold the player to China last month it's still lots of "Hamed Allah blabla" in the comments.

So this isn't so much about the players playing in a big league, it's more about the support they give for individuals in that part of the world compared to other places. Support is probably not the right word, it's more obsession. Quite fascinating.

So what kind of contract have we got young Nabil on at the moment? And is there a clause in the K that says 'if Tim leaves I am going with him'? :D

Do you guys have the spurs news feed in to your Facebook pages?

Everytime they post a photo, a bunch of Algerians start fawning over Bentaleb.

They all think we're lucky to have him!

He's not even in the picture half the time ffs.

Thanks for that Tim.


So we've a 19yr old who isn't bad at playing football on our books, and you've discovered a page online, that is all about singing his praises.

Ergo, Sherwood is a ****

:unsure:

Some people don't miss an opportunity to slag him off. I'm just waiting for someone to blame him for the second world war.

Would have been funny if he went with France.

Just shows how spoilt we have become when we sneer at a country for supporting one of their own players.

Good detective work. I'm just winding the Algerians up.

You think that's bad? There is a gooner on Twitter who immediately posts questions like "where's Bale", "where's Modric" and "where's VdV" after @SpursOfficial post a team sheet
Can't we do the same to them?
Just post driving directions back to woolwich each time they're at home.

Interested to know how you would describe Bentaleb, or should we give youth a chance.
Average.

He's neither great nor terrible.
Would i miss him if he was dropped? No.
Is he at a level of man love as players such as Sandro or VDV?
No.
Will he ever be?
Who knows.

bit foolhardy, considering there's a much longer list of players who have left the Woolwich and won trophies since they last lifted one.

It's funny we haven't attracted the hardcore Belgians yet...
Belgium are well represented in our league and other clubs have higher profile Belgians I suppose
