Info graphics from spurs at the moment are nice to look at but make terrible reading, the last lot showed our 9 goals in the league stat and this new lot just show how terrible we have been against united in the PL

big game tomorrow, not sure how it will go to be honest especially with no discript football of late, anyway COYS

Can't help but get excited by this game. I know we've been less exciting to watch than a slow motion video of grey paint drying, but if any game is going to see an upturn in our performances, it's this one.

I can live with a defeat. There's no shame in being beaten by United. I just want to see some spirit, some belief, and a sense of urgency.

Yep. The fans need to be up for it from the start, but the team needs to come out guns blazing too otherwise it will dampen the atmosphere.

It's why I don't fully agree with AVB's criticism of the crowd. It's very difficult to maintain a positive and passionate atmosphere when the team you're cheering on are taking a slow and steady approach all the time.

I want AVB to come out wearing this and riding a horse. I want his last words to be. On my command. Unleash hell!!!

Come on you fucking Spurs, we need some intensity, tempo & aggression for once. We need to bring the fear factor back to WHL.

I'm hoping for a fast start out of the blocks and a performance that says we want to win this game.
If that happens and we lose a 5 goal thriller I'd still back AVB.

FACT! Just 4% of Tottenham's shots have been inside the penalty box. #THFC

Here is a fact to cheer everybody up

Including penalties!

Hopefully that will put to bed the bollocks about how we're creating more chances than any other team. We might take wild shots to nothing from 25 yards every time we get the opportunity, but that's not the same as carving our clear chances.

Now that's more like it. All this shit about us having the most shots in the League and people trying to present it like we're creating the most in the league.

Completely underlines what I thought, loads of long range shots due to frustration with our inability to break teams down.

I don't even think I blame the players too much to be honest. You could put Xavi, Iniesta and Alonso in this team and it would not make a difference.

I pray to God we win tomorrow, for AVB's sake, because if we play badly and lose, well I know what I would want to happen. If we win, it could be a turning point but only if we go on a unbeaten run and keep it going, like after the Everton game last season (which was at a very similar time)
