I don't think that your statement about me is unfair. It does put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth to be crucifying a player one minute and then potentially celebrating their successes on the field the next.
There are certainly players that have played for Spurs that I don't like. An incomplete list off the top of my head would consist of Pav, Hutton, and Huddlestone. In all honesty every player on the team has quirks and deficiencies that bug me and I probably mention to my mates during matches.
However, when the lineup was announced earlier today and you listed it out instead of writing Adebayor you wrote "wanker". Then you continued to bang on all throughout the match thread about how shit Adebayor was. Some of this was fair other parts were not. Overall, the personal attacks on players just don't fly for me.
The thing for me is I'm fine with constructive criticism but just bitching about a player is not productive and it is actually just annoying for others to read. Especially in the case of Adebayor when he is the only healthy player at his position. There is nothing that can be done about it, it is whining for whining sake.
Finally, it was mentioned on the podcast this week that every month Spurs fans create this pantomime villain to blame. This year it has been Walker, Parker, Adebayor, Sigurrdson, Dempsey and I'm sure others. It is just so tiresome and boring. Also, just bashing players isn't really the style of the Fighting Cock. I knowFlav has said it before that this is a different type of forum not like the other ones. Personally, that is the reason why I love it here because we support the shirt and players unconditionally and don't bitch all the time.
I won't bash a player that wears the Spurs badge as long as he is out there playing hard. Personally, I think Adebayor has played hard and has had some tough luck. If you want to provide some constructive criticism instead of labeling him wanker even before the game has started that is fine but the tiresome name calling and blame game just isn't worth the time and I think this forum is above it.
Whatever. I didn't participate in any of that gay shit. You guys are fuckin disgusting.
You're too cute to spray such language
Not only does he score amazing goals, the lucky shit gets to be the filling in an AVB-SuperJan sandwich.
