‘Sissoko has been atrocious for the last 2/3 months’
Honestly you need your head examined. If we didn’t have Sissoko this season we would truly be mid table, if we didn’t have Eriksen (which we basically haven’t as he has been comfortably our worst player since Christmas) we’d be exactly where we are in the table right now
100%
There should be standing areas for people who want that.
But it's a bit harsh slagging someone off for wanting to sit in the seat he paid for
I don't understand why people think that they can't sing or support whilst seated, I can do it without a problem.
This deserves more love!
Singing standing up feels much better....
Fact is, physically, is it's more conducive to singing.
Did you go the game you sad fuckwitt? Or were you one of the 5-7 thousand that had been crying for the stadium to open , but when it did you were actually at home washing your har. Fucking retard.
The funny thing is - that he actually believes that he's right, and that we are all wrong.
But he probably has some zen level stat that tells him he's right and he's dumb enough to swallow it
When you sing like I do, you keep your head down
Yeah, without Eriksen's 11 assists, 6 goals, double the key passes of everyone except Trippier, seeing more ball than Sissoko in games, tackling the same amount, we'd be where we are now. And without Sissoko's 1.3 tackles a game, inability to make an incisive pass if his life depended on it, inability to receive the ball under pressure - and point a lot - we'd be fucked.
Bollocks.
how is halfing the ticket cost make better atmosphere - still same guys but a little richer.
It's fuckwit
You fuckwit
Haha... Noone said it was gonna be pretty.
OK, maybe make tickets more available to the masses after halving the price. I know plenty of people who could not afford the £80 the ticket cost last night for me. I think you knew what I meant really.
Absolutely right, the good supporters in there will be surrounded by moaning twats and tourists
During the game Arli White said “the problem with the big stand is the groans also sound louder” he wasn’t wrong
Just heard crooks on the BBC podcast saying atmosphere was tense during game, so I get people there may have sung but doesn’t seem to be universal and I definitely know what I heard
Things will get better though hopefully more positivity and support will grow
not really - i think tickets on the door first come first served will improve. In reality generally younger males grouped together generate the noise but i cant see anything to encourage this in the short term.
I agree with this 100% mate but you are going to have to make your peace with it as it's with us to stay and probably will only get worse. I'm talking about the corp tickets here, it's not just football but every sport from Cricket, Horse Racing to Motor Racing. However, whilst they have eaten large chinks of the ground up at least this new stadium is for the 'normal' fan, albeit still with hugely expensive tickets.
If you really want to get angry then the problem is 100% with the people who sell their seats on, I'm not talking about those that can't make a game and use ticket exchange, I'm talking about those that hold an ST with the sole aim of selling on, with the sole aim of making money out of Spurs fans. These cunts are the ones solely responsible for the deterioration of the atmosphere and the increase in the price of tickets, they are the ones that are creating the market.
In my experience they are also the ones that winge about the cost of their ST going up and the atmosphere, you couldn't make it up. Utter wankers.
In England it's all about the away fans. Our away support is great and normally singing through the whole game (I've never actually made it to an away game but seems like that on TV anyway).
As someone said here before maybe having all these areas to drink and sing before and after the game will get people sing other songs other than just the common ones.
I don't know why we don't sing more songs about ex players and managers during the games. Should be singing about ledleys knee, Martin jols (lack of) hair and rafa vdv every game!

When have we had singing from all sides of the ground? Was opposite the south stand, it was incredibly loud.
