Any spectator giving the people in front of them anything other than a usual/greater level of support on Sunday - by virtue of the transfer window - is a fucking wanker. A lot will depend on the game itself, obviously, but if we go behind, anyone that gets OTT angsty/protesty, or turns their back on the side, wants shooting into the sun. The team and coach deserves far better than that. Hopefully we'll play really well and it'll be a moot point. I'm saying regardless of what you think of anyone not giving their usual level of support at SJP tomorrow, it's natural and inevitable that the level of excitement won't be what it could be after that shit show of a transfer window. Put it this way, how buzzing would you and everyone be going into tomorrow if we'd had a successful window? More than we currently are? The same? The excitement, buzz, and motivation of the crowd would be off the scale, so it's hardly surprising that when the transfer window has been shite that the excitement, buzz, and motivation aren't at that level.

Some fans were saying it was happening during and after the second half of last season. Conveniently ignoring (a) that he was brilliant at the beginning and (b) he’s been playing and travelling a crazy amount and of course had the Asia Cup mid-season. I think he was simply knackered. He’d been playing through some knocks for Korea and us, plus we didn’t have enough cover and Richarlison gets those little shitty 2-3 game injuries all the fucking time. Age and wear and tear are obviously taking some toll, but just look at his goals against Everton. Cleverly slows his run just a little to fox T-Rex arms then turns on the afterburners. Then late in the game runs half the length of the pitch keeping pace with fucking VDV before tucking the ball away. As long as we can give him enough rest this year and next I think he’ll be fine. That’s why it’s so galling all our strikers are fucked right now. Edited Saturday at 07:37 by leffe186 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Lack of additional excitement should hopefully not = actively being twats to the people who've represented the club brilliantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted Saturday at 08:26 Share Posted Saturday at 08:26 While I completely understand disappointment with the transfer window, surely now is the time to get behind the lads, particularly after Howe's comments yesterday. After all isn't that the whole idea of attending? It's Sunday 2PM, so it'll probably be subdued regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, I'm allways confident about this fixtute. You lot must be hating St James Park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted Saturday at 10:03 Share Posted Saturday at 10:03 Dreading this now. We have been shit in all our fixtures so far, and been lucky to get the results we have got, against opposition that is lesser than Spurs. On top of this we have the fallout of the transfer window, the fans will just be waiting to let out their frustration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted Saturday at 10:25 Share Posted Saturday at 10:25 Hopefully actually getting to a big match at home will be a relief to people and they can vent their feelings on Spurs. Tough game though, not a disaster if we don’t win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago was just a joke - we had completely given up and the first half was arguably the worst performance any Premier League team has ever given anywhere ever . Last year was more telling. Your set-up is like Kryptonite for us if we’re not on it. That’s why missing all three of our centre-forwards is so irritating - they’re so important to how we play. Bottom line, we’re actually quite good but a couple of players short. You’re quite good but a couple of players short. We’re high-risk and your game is a perfect counter to ours so it could be any result at all really . It’s hard to tell a lot about how either of us are playing based on the first couple of games. I haven’t been to a proper away game in a while but the only thing I really dislike about St James’ Park is the away fans being hidden up in the rafters.

Aiston Posted Saturday at 10:51 Share Posted Saturday at 10:51 Would start Trippier, he should be able to take advantage of the Spurs highline with his balls. Barnes, Isak, Gordon should also abuse the hell out of the high line too. Confident of a win here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
