I know it costs a lot to watch a football match but that has no bearing on the ability of any player. The money we spend and amount footballers earn has no reflection on how talented they are. Your decision to abuse should not be in relation to cost.

To be fair, I paid to use the bus the other day. The driver took a corner way to slow for my liking. As I was leaving, I staunchly called him a twat. Since then, I've received a letter of thanks from from TFL, praising my extensive knowledge of the situation. They also informed me that the driver has made a marked improvement since.

I'm absolutely positive Ramos is capable of instructing the players what it is they are doing right or wrong. The players don't look to the crowd for guidance, they look for support; for us to lift the team as the twelfth man.

I'm afraid it's generally the naysayers who are more vocal. My applause usually gets drowned out by their vitriolic screams.


Well said!

Fotball is very much a confidence game and by booing a player when he knows hes not doing well only brings the player down, dont interpret that as me saying cheer him for doing badly just think about what your doing when your booing and think about how it affects OUR team/players confidence.

Never boo and the majority don't. Unfortunately a few people start to boo and it creates a louder noise than that of us who are moaning and having a go at those booing.

The booing surely must be for the structure of the club as a whole.

Anyone who is short-sighted enough to boo the players who are picked at this stage should go and support wet spam.

I have a suggestion..............how about, when the booing starts next, the great guys who kept the singing going yesterday, drown them out with a rousing "Come on you Spurs" or "We love you Tottenham"?

You never know, the booers might join in with the singing!

Footballers aren't meant to be the brightest people in the world but to think that they need to be booed to know that bottom of the league isn't good enough seems a bit far-fetched to me. And as for thinking that those who aren't booing are 'sheep-supporters', that's nonsense, the support during the second half of the game yesterday showed exactly what encouragement to the team can offer. No, we didn't score during that time, but the performance did pick up and I'm sure the atmosphere made it more difficult for the opposition than our home team, something we should be trying to achieve. Then we'll get our monies worth out of the day.

I'm so glad this point was raised as the SUPPORT (ERS) singing in the second half really did make a difference. The East stand is full of moaning w&*kers tbh.

I had a fat bastard and an old lady constantly moaning through the whole game they kept looking at me in the hope I would join in, and join I did to the echoe of "We Tottenham super Tottenham we are Tottenham from the lane." They were giving me all kinds of looks so much so I brought a ticket in the North stand today block 48 in hope to get away from the boo boys.........

I live close enough to the Lane to hear the cheering and singing. I heard fuck all on Sunday until Lennon came on, with a weird slightly-delayed stereo effect with the radio.

So some people's idea of 'support' is to boo the players (or whoever) at half-time, having offered zero encouragement (and intimidation for the opposition) for the preceding forty-five minutes? Great. Whoopyfuckingdoop. Some thick pie-munching ****s' idea of support, anyway, has always been to spend ninety minutes slagging off one player or another.

'I spend a lot of money so I have the right to boo.' What pathetic self-righteous claptrap.

I only boo the opposition (when a enemy player does a dirty tackle and later has the ball), never Tottenham players though...

Are you suggesting that a lot of our fans are shit? that they only sing when they're winning?, that they can only work up any enthusiasm when the team is doing well? That they don't know how to raise the team when they really need it? and that they are becoming part of the problem not the solution?
How dare you? I would like to take exception to that; sadly I can't because I currently have absolutely no evidence to the contrary.

I dont think i booed but if i did it was at this;

5am out of bed, shower, coffee.

7am check in at Dublin airport

8am - 8.45am sitting in a plane on the runway

8.45am - 10.15am sitting in a plane

10.30am - 1pm London public transport system

1pm - 3pm couple of pints in Brickies then the B & H

3pm - 5.15pm witnessed a shite game of football but in fairness Row 3 in the Park Lane was kinda cool, right behind the goal

5.30pm - 6.00pm pint in the Brickies

6.00pm - 8pm London Public Transport system

8pm - midnight travelling back to Dublin and home and bed...

It was a long day to London and to the Lane and back again...Shite Shite game of football...If I booed it was because it JUST WAS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT

Well, you'll know for next time :)

That's pretty much the same as an away trip to Newcastle and we rarely do well up there but it's a good day out because of the atmosphere and banter and like you say, the Park Lane was a highlight, so all the more reason not to boo.

I have to say the only time i personally boo is if a player were to throw their shirt down like Ghaly did. Otherwise, i never boo one of our own.
