You have that spot on Nutter: We do have several players that need to go or have a very radical rethink about club loyalty and tradition.I was hoping it was a piece by Trevor Tanner.
As for this
Forget about ENIC, forget about Levy, and forget about our position in the league table during a match. Just show the players on the pitch that you love that badge on their chest and that you believe that they can succeed wearing that badge.
Problem is, several of them are not fit to wear the badge &, more to the point, dont want to..
it,s a culture thing , many of us have Spurs in our genes through family ties over
many generations . Many North Americans cannot ,no matter how they try,
understand the depth of disharmony , worthlessness , and despair many feel .
Enic/ Levy have created the crap team we are today. , Both go hand in glove.
Why no atmosphere ? Ask Teflon Dan,
No Star of David , no flags with message ,
Young overpriced , full of grey pounders , or the old and fat .
Any one good sold , cheap alternatives .
No direction from board level, stub hub rip off.
Aggressive stewardship , loud p.a. System to mask fan discontent .
Foreign day trippers , etc etc .
The club want a passive , high spend on tat , happy clappy , international bland support. They are half way there .

This is the main reason for the discontent. Ive seen many people both on here and twitter saying that if you can see a player has given everything, Left everything on the pitch then they will back them all the way get behind themI was hoping it was a piece by Trevor Tanner.

It seems like the club wants our fans to be similar to our squad of players. A bunch of yes men!

why do you think dawson got such a good send off when he left?
Yep Dawson may not have been the best but when AVB wanted to flog him to QPR and he refused and wanted to fight for his place that showed you all you needed to know about himDawson obviously was aging and was not top half prem material by the time he left us but what a heart he had, good mentality every game, I wish the passion of Dawson and the talent of Verts could have been combined. Loved Dawson, Benny to be fair used to give everything and he was from France so I don't see why our foreign contingent can be excused for being weak which is what they appear to be.
You're not wrong. As a relatively young Londoner the £35+ to watch substandard football every 2 weeks is a bit of a sacrifice. One I'm more than willing to make but a lot of other young football fans who are either a bit less fortunate or passionate just can't justify it.We all know the atmosphere has been close to shit for years now, and this is due to a number of reasons - being seated, poor on pitch performance and the change in the type of fan being just to name a few.
The club are shutting out a lot of young people that cant afford to attend games with today's prices - people that would make an awful lot of noise and are now consigned to the pub.
How do I know that? Step into any pub and youll find everyone singing (where I live anyway). These people should be at the games but are priced out.
International fans encouraged to come in, and some of them dont make noise, theyre just there as a tourist (btw I welcome anyone to the Lane), but that also contributes.
In the 80s we regularly had new songs, which came and went but were often great - my favourite was the "we'll take more care of you, Archibald."
Spot on mate. I'd sooner see characters like Dawson, trying their heart out and failing, than some "world class" unpredictable, disinterested diva going through the motions.Dawson obviously was aging and was not top half prem material by the time he left us but what a heart he had, good mentality every game, I wish the passion of Dawson and the talent of Verts could have been combined.
