on the basis of a few bad results.
Here here. :clap:
Where? Where?
Admirable of you but positivity is not always a solution to the harsh realities of life (and of our clubs current predicament).
Only a win will do this Sunday. Nothing more nothing less.
I think the calls for positivity fall into two catagories
(1) Support the team on the pitch.Try to make the crowd an extra player as they do at Liverpool. Make WHL a fortress as they say not a place that players who are struggling fear to come to.
(2) Use the forums to try to analyse the play and the players and think of ways forward. Slagging the team, individual players,Levy or Comolli off in terms such as Jenas,Bent or whoever is 'crap' gets us nowhere.
It might make you feel better briefly but this a Tottenham fansite not a therapy exercise. Perhaps we should have a separate thread for people to swear and slag Jenas off.
Im not saying don't criticise but lets have some reasons and discussion and solutions.
Bent is a limited player but he was bought to score goals and he has before and will do so again.Just to say he is 'rubbish' is of no interest or benefit to anyone.
Now is the moment to support the team, its easy when you are winning.
In every team performance and individual players for that matter there is good and bad.Nobody is 'crap'for a whole game or a team
Lets pick out the good bits,criticise the bad and take the situation forward.
I often get negative,walk round the garden swearing and looking for a cat to kick when we lose to a late goal. But when I post on here I try to get things into perspective,and after coming up for 60 years as a Spurs fan, perhaps I have a bit more than some.
Before someone posts 'But Jenas is crap' I'll get in first. He is not.Disappointing ,not reaching his potential, not as suited as vice captain as say Woodgate maybe. But without him over the past three seasons we would not have achieved two fifth place finishes or the Carling Cup win.
Thats about the third time you given me some 'rep' but as one untutored in the ways of Spurs Community what does it mean? Does it go straight into my bank account or arrive throught the post? Where the hell is it?
But thanks anyway.
While I agree with your analysis of the press, and it's vested interest in creating drama, I see no more analysis or thought in your article than in theirs. I admire your intention; but where is the analysis? "Give it time and it will all come right"?
You say Levy, Commolli and Ramos are doing all they can and that therefore this is not their fault. Nonsense. Of course they are doing what they think is right. The question, and one you completely neglect to address, is: is what they think is right, actually right?
You ask us to be patient; to give it time. That short sited, short term reactions to temporary problems are no way to achieve long term success. I couldn't agree more; and was saying exactly that this time last year.....when Levy decided to fire Jol for only managing to come 5th, two seasons in a row. How can you expect the fans to take a long term view when their Chairman patently and expressly took such a short term one? When he decided, utterly prematurely, to undermine Jol and dismantle his squad on the premise that Jol had "taken us as far as he could". It was his hysterical (greedy) management, not the fans, that sacrificed all the progress we had made since the Hoddle era. We were still singing Jol's name ffs.
So before you look at the fans as the source of knee jerk, short termist, get rich quick attitudes try looking at the people who, long before this crisis, decided that the right thing to do was duplicitously and unscrupulously undermine the man who had brought us the most success since Birkenshaw and dismantle the sqaud that won us our first trophy in a decade.
I absolutely agree. Although I do agree with one aspect of the opening post...and that's that fans should never boo the players under any circumstances. If they have a problem they should focus it at the manager/DOF/chairman triumverate only.
