It has been pretty hostile the last 2 games I've been too (Sporting and Leeds). The break has come at a good time but I really hope fans can return in a more positive frame of mind.My brother was there yesterday and said that it was pretty toxic. It's not on IMO. There's a line between frustration and hatred. I think that people need to consider the potential impact that they are having on his mental well-being.
It has always been a tough crowd at Spurs. Remember way back (when we were really s**t) Samways getting the treatment despite not doing the obvious thing and hiding. More recently, Rose was getting similar (and commented on it in an interview iirc). One of the reasons I cba with going to games anymore. Doing more and more non-league, which has fewer moaning c**ts in attendance. Not just pro-rata either.
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you are or at least to anyone that understands football. If anyone thinks he's so bad maybe they should think to themselves why an elite manager like Conte is picking him. It's not because he has no choice because he has options and didn't want to sell in the summer. Then maybe think to yourself that actually maybe you don't really understand as much about football as you think.No I didn't and I would have been stealing a living if I had.
I don't agree with booing players but the guy is crap. I'm not knocking his effort, just his ability and footballing brain. Am I seeing a different player to everyone else here? He is where an attack goes to die 95% of the time down our right side. 1 good pass out of 100 isn't a ratio we should be happy with. He needs to be sold and a player bought in who can actually play in that position which ios vital to this system. The fans are clearly sick of seeing him in the starting line up and the match thread mirrors that.
Little bit too “way back” for me. Just looked him up and found this quote:Emerson gets less stick than John Pratt used to and Pratt scored some pearlers
Little bit too “way back” for me. Just looked him up and found this quote:
“I had been getting it in the neck a bit from some of the sections of the crowd at Spurs but Bill expected his players to be men, and he said that the crowd paid our wages and were entitled to have their opinions. So one day, before I was due to play my first game at Old Trafford, I asked him what I could expect. He replied that it would just be like playing at Spurs, except that up there 55,000 people would hate me, whereas at Spurs it was only 45,000!”
Plus la change….
here are some of Pratt's he didn't do tap ins
Disagree. Doherty has been injured and it’s very possible Spence is not the messiah.I think we can all establish that the blame lies with Conte, when it comes to picking him 24/7.
Looks alright to me. Two footed as well. Shit haircut admittedly. Was that the problem? Did the fans disapprove of his shocking barnet?
I absolutely agree that there is a wider issue at play with the criticism of certain players, maybe with similar distinguishing features, by 'fans'.If your face doesn't fit at Spurs my word can the crowd be difficult. Other players can do worse and nothings said....v strange

Fans regularly make the mistake of thinking if a player is not good enough, then the understudy or just any kid must be better.
No need to apologise.I’m sorry but there’s absolutely zero justification in Emerson starting 90% of the games this season.
Yes Doherty has had an injury & Spence may not be ready, but they should have atleast seen more starts imo.
When you actually look at the amount of starts Emerson has made this season, it’s a ridiculous situation we find ourselves in, where he’s being made to play, week in, week out.
No need to apologise.
Did you want us to play Doherty while he was injured? Do you think Spence must be better right now just because you don't rate Royal?
I just hope at the very least Doherty can earn back his starting spot, because as shown at the end of last season, we are much more dynamic going forward, with him & Kulu linking up.
To be fair - we are much more dynamic going forward with anyone and Deki linking up...
When will fans finally establish that Conte is the manager who has done fantastic with this club in his first year so deserves faith in whoever he selectsI think we can all establish that the blame lies with Conte, when it comes to picking him 24/7.
When he will finally establish, that Emerson is not the answer, I do not know…
