Why would you not want to see Spurs play under the most successful manager we've had in the Premier League Era?

Lambert has a 100% scoring record for England. Guess that makes him our greatest ever striker.

Well, maybe not just Sherwood, but if the current state of the club stays the same?

Personally I have found myself less reluctant to go as the season has progressed. I even found that I elected to go to Ledley's testimonial over the last game of the season because I'd enjoy it more.

Just how frustrated is fandom feeling right now?

It's our awful fans that stop me going, not the manager. Apart from the brilliant 1882 movement, overall I think we've one of the worst set of fans in the country. They make going to the Lane depressing and invariably I end up getting in a row with some of them, so I just don't bother anymore.

Maybe the new stadium will change things, maybe.
 
After we got relegated in 1977 the fans invaded the pitch and wouldn't disperse until the players came out on to the directors box and took a standing ovation.
Pat Jennings later said you would have thought Spurs had just won the league rather than just been relegated.
That incident is one of the things that made me most proud of being a Yid.
How times change.

Only thing that stops me going is the price and awful fans. I used to go sit in any stand; now I will only want to go if it's in park lane and even then it's often shit in there.

if anyone doesnt go to watch there team 'because of the rubbish football' then you need a reality check, should watch your team through thick and thin, anyway, the main reason to not go WHL anymore is the boring cunts who turn up every week and look at you with a weird look when you try to get a song going

I'm with you three. It's the (lack of) support that's going to stop me attending. I'm getting bored of the woman in front of me putting her hands over her ears when I sing (I'm surely not that out of tune) and the cunts to the sides of me slagging off the players within 30 seconds of kick off. I'd rather we went back to being mid-table, if it got rid of all the entitled cunts.

I do genuinely find this astonishing. Thanks for posting though.

In answer to the OP. Yes I'll be going. It's what being a supporter is. I remember a season not that long ago where were playing Barnsley at this time of the year and it was a genuine relegation 6-pointer.

It's quite possible that Spurs can win our remaining three matches this season, thus giving Sherwood stats of 45 Premier League points won from a total of 66 available (68.18% won).
This would equate to around 78 points for a full season.
And yet there are still plenty of Spurs fans that think he's not good enough for us.
I simply don't understand it.

Probably because pro rating a small sample size out over the season is about as meaningless as it gets.
Watching the crap he serves up is probably a better thing to judge on.
 
i had my season ticket during the Sugar years.
compared to that, this even a season like this, is like being blown by Scarlett Johanssen whilst Zooey Deschannel gives me a prostate exam.

For numerous reasons (mainly location, money, and time) I haven't been able to get to the Lane this season. However whenever I have the opportunity I always do what I can to go to games, and Sherwood being in charge wouldn't affect that.

For me it's still a magical feeling, and a privilege, to take my seat at White Hart Lane. I always remember the hundreds of thousands of people that would love to be there if they could, and how I have the opportunity to play my part in supporting the club. Doesn't matter how much I might moan about players online, I always give them my full support when I have the chance.
 
By the same token he's probably got one of the worst records in our history for cup games.

Because we're not looking like a good team? I'm a stats man - my job is Head of Research at a respected agency... but I divorce win stats from how I watch my team performing. I better indicator for me is goal difference, and we're barely in the positive.
