I was also in 133 and I noticed there were too many "families" and tourists in the supporters blocks. A father in front of me gave me death glares for cursing in front of his daughter! Wembley is laughable when it comes to generating an atmosphere. Believe I heard three different songs being sung at once...
Did anyone else see the 'altercarion' (it happened in front and to the right of me) where one guy (to the right of me) was giving plenty of abuse along
these lines;
You worthless apology of a supporter. You sicken me. If you support a team IT IS FUCKING UNCONDITIONAL. If it comes with conditions you are just an onlooker
So keep your opinions to yourself
Why do fans of Doncaster Rovers or Aldershot keep buying season tickets? For the cups and the European glory nights?
You're just a plastic copy of a supporter.
...to the group of lads directly in front of me, for moaning at the players when a(nother) corner/set-piece came to nothing. His gripe was that they weren't singing (enough?) but the to-and-fro that followed really reminded me of the dark days of fans fighting amongst themselves 'cos there's fuck all else going on to cheer themselves up with.
surely we're better than that, no? (BTW, it
wasn't you giving it plenty
Mick Cooper
was it??
I do have to say though,
when the singing got going, things like
'Come on You Spurs' and
'We are Tottenham, From the Lane'...
everyone did get going... maybe it's 'cos they were short and snappy chants that
everyone knows...
it's just the sporadic nature of being so spread out, means that songs only got going when (luck) meant a few people in various parts of the ground
happened to be starting the same chant at the same time,
or some fucker shouted louder than everyone else to be heard...
A loud-hailer would probably work wonders at Wembley... shame whoever had it would probably be told to 'turn it down' by many 'fans' though!!
I think the biggest 'fault' (if you can call it that) when we went 1-0 up, was that it seemed the players (but many of the fans were also guilty of this) thought we would cruise past them from there...
Yes, Eriksen did the right thing by grabbing the ball from the net and planting it firmly on the Centre Spot - always love it when they do that - rather than doing a silly premeditated dance for his 'Twatterface Follwers'... but the 'mood' of celebration around me seemed somewhat subdued... almost like we expected the 2nd, and 3rd (and 4th and 5th) to follow on after it... but of course, they didn't!
Instead, the o.g knocked the stuffing out of us, and just when we managed to get back on our feet, the Red card sent us sprawling again.
Why do
we seem to be unable to cope playing with10 men, when a lot of other teams almost thrive on it!! It shouldn't have made
that much difference to the formation, effectively Harry was up on his own with Eriksen for support rather than Dele... the rest of the team should've stayed as they were...
Have to say, Son changed the game palpably (coupled with Davies going off)
But I have to agree... bringing Janssen on with 2 minutes to go,
still needing 2 goals was a bit of an insult. I wouldn't have expected even
Ronaldo or Messi to be able to make an impact in that scenario, let alone Vinny!!
West Ham at home now feels like a once a season 'freak occurrence'... 2 goals in injury time doesn't happen
that often!
