Poch told us this a couple of months ago...
Sadly, too many cunts wanted to mock him, slate the chairman or defiantly double-down behind their 'right to criticise'
"...As if players read or give a shit a out social media etc."
Honestly, the self-serving ignorance of such comments is astounding.
I think it will change but fuck me as a fan base we make it hard for ourselves.
You know what it comes down to? Two things. Firstly the current group are paying the price of chairmen, managers and footballers who flaked before, pretty much through the nineties and 2000s which really isn't fair and secondly and I think his is the most important, supporters love to say I told you so and that they were right.
Our OWN fans plant seeds of doubt in the football club, it's absolutely insane! Until the club shifts and starts believing they'll make history and change the fabric of the club it simply won't happen. So many supporters demanding signings, demanding a new stadium, demanding 3 points every weekend yet they forget the most important thing, to back the club along the way.
Maybe I'm being a little harsh on supporters, maybe the whole football is trendy has attracted these get rich quick scheme thinkers, maybe the real fans have been priced out and we're left with the pisstakers who knows.
It's a shame as I loved the club for its uniqueness and its tribal feel. I look at how entitled West Ham fans were last season, revolting against their poxy little club, how Woolwich supporters treated Wenger when in reality he transformed them as a name in football. Chelsea and their back stabbing ways I loved that Spurs fans had a brain and didn't on the whole feel snide. Sadly whenever I log onto Twitter for example literally every Tottenham post I see is a Tottenham fan taking the piss out of something at the club, be it the chairman, (who has it must be noted been the only person in our history to steer us to the Champions League 3 seasons in a row), Sissoko, Waiting to pounce on a stadium issue be it delays, cheese rooms, ticket prices blah blah blah the usual bollocks, it's a joke.
I back the club, I don't bad mouth them when it's not justified or deserved. I do my part to try and get the club to where it strives to be. Some people think that because they pay their ticket price they're doing enough. Spoilt, self entitled and make too much noise. How would they like it if they kept breaking personal records at work, only for their boss to take the piss out of them? A little repressed and a little less bounce in their stride I, guessing so surely the same applies to the players when they hear terms like Spursy when in reality we are the leagues biggest over achievers based on revenue to productivity! They forget that the players are human as well. As a supporter of the club it's not on and it happens too frequently in what has arguably been our most promising phase since the 60s.
I know and knew this season was a long shot when it came to winning the league but you've got to give your backing to the boys to help get them over the line instead of doing what most do which is to lurk in the shadows until there's a slip up only to boast that they were right all along. Pathetic, moany & undeserved support for a great club with a huge heritage that deserves better
