da imperador bet：
da casino： Our own fans
This is not a personal attack on any particular Tottenham fan, but there is a tendency for us as a collective to be too fickle and expect too much right away from players, managers and the club in general. It’s not really helpful for very obvious and vocal nerves to be echoing around White Hart Lane only forty minutes into a game against lesser opposition that we should beat, but the score is still 0-0. Also a lot of Spurs fans have too high expectations, last season’s 4th placed finish was a fantastic achievement but I far from expect it to be the norm. Obviously there is nothing wrong with aiming high, and as fans it is our duty to aspire for our club to be at the top, but to start demanding more than what is realistic is detrimental to the club’s stability.
A leaky defence
It is beyond infuriating how incapable we are of closing out games we should have won. Having not kept a clean sheet since the opening day of the season, just the sheer nerves that the team can concede a goal out of anything is a source of tremendous frustration.
I suppose on the flip side it ensures that no games are dull as we never know when a game’s safe and won, and I’d much rather we participated in exciting games where we score and concede than dull 0-0 or 1-0’s, but there is a time when it just becomes too much and all I want is one measly clean sheet.
Every youngster we buy tipped to be the next big thing is always rubbish
Countless times, Tottenham have unveiled the next Zinedine Zidane or Diego Maradona only to discover that they share none of the qualities of the previous two except occasionally the arrogance of the latter. Taarabt and Dos Santos are the first names that spring to mind but you can add Kevin-Prince Boateng and others to that list. I remember hearing that apparently at 17 Dos Santos was better than Lionel Messi. Well he certainly hasn’t kept up with the Argentinean! And Taarabt’s only link with Zidane is he’s a Frenchman of North African descent.
Having Man Utd take our better players and stop us kicking on to the next level
I think we will be able to tell a lot about how far Tottenham have come if by this time next year Luka Modric, Rafael Van der Vaart and Gareth Bale are all still at the club. Over previous years our standout player has been tempted to a big money move up the M1. Both Dimitar Berbatov and more importantly Michael Carrick were our best players when they left and their departure had a huge impact on the team. After Carrick’s transfer the team that was lasagne-gate away from reaching the Champions League, suddenly lost all cohesion. They managed to finish 5th again the next season but it was far from convincing and built around a late charge up the table after slowly coming to terms with the loss of Carrick. Berbatov’s departure was not much less dramatic, leaving a gaping hole in a previously potent strike force.
No getting away from the fact that our north London neighbours are more successful than us
Finally the ultimate irritant to all Tottenham fans is that the Gooners have, particularly over the last 20 years, experienced far more actual success. What really rubs salt into the wounds is that lately it has been done by stealing our brand of football! And as much as we can argue that the gap is closing and the like there is simply no getting away from the fact that they have dominated us competitively for a while now. It’s depressing!
