Having been to almost all the grounds I agree with him,apart from Everton which is massively overrated.

Don't really disagree with our spot. It's not far off being true. The list is overall ok. Chelsea are too high up.
And Liverpool in third?!?! :ross: :ross: that is clear and utter BS, Anfield at 90% of league games is just as quiet as WHL or the Scum or Cheatski. It's just complete and utter bs 'the Anfield roar'. Even against Real in the CL i wasn't that impressed.

Emmanuel Adebayor: Tottenham fans’ booing means we’d rather play away
• Spurs striker says players ‘finding it hard in the head’
• Tottenham have lost four of last five league matches at home
• Pochettino admits urgent need to improve
Emmanuel Adebayor has admitted that Tottenham’s players are struggling with the pressure of a negative atmosphere at White Hart Lane while they strain to get the message from their new manager, Mauricio Pochettino. “Instead of booing people, which will make it even worse, I think it is sometimes better to support them and give them what they need to perform on the pitch,” he said. “And right now, to tell you the truth, I think a lot of players when they put on the shirt and go out on to the pitch, are finding it hard in the head.”
Tottenham fans are understandably airing their frustrations – they have seen their team lose four out of the last five Premier League games at home – and it was telling to hear the PA system blaring out music with conspicuously sharp timing the very second the referee blew the final whistle in the weekend’s loss to Stoke. It seemed like the club were conscious of the possibility for an outpouring of disapproval and did their bit to drown it out.
Adebayor says the players are feeling the heat. “It’s kind of hard when you know the first bad ball you make the fans are going to boo you,” he said. “When you are playing in front of your own crowd you want them to support you. But now it is like going through a sad moment and your family not welcoming you home. That’s the worst thing ever because you have nowhere to go. At the moment I don’t know whether we should play at home or whether we should play away. Obviously I was on the bench against Stoke and, though I could not see everything as clear as night, I could see that nobody wanted the ball. It’s hard for the players. It’s not their fault and it’s not the fans’ fault either because the fans want to see a result, the fans want to see a response and things are not going our way at the moment. We just have to fight as a team and as a club to find a solution. The quicker the better.”
Adebayor suggests that is proving difficult for Tottenham to adapt to the methods preferred by Pochettino, the latest chosen one in White Hart Lane’s white hot seat: “He’s a good manager and we just have to find a way so that we can try to understand what he wants to tell us and how he wants us to play and put that on the pitch. If every player could do what the manager wants then we would win the Champions League. But at the moment we are not getting the message. To me, he is a good manager and a good man – we just have to get what he is telling us.
“We have to get used to him. He is the new manager and it is tough. Tactically, he is working hard, he is trying to make us understand what the opponents will try to do and what we have to do to score goals and win the games. But at the moment there is a blockage somewhere. Hopefully we can overcome that. Football is a funny game. You play one game and score one goal and everybody says ‘Hey, things have changed for you.’ Maybe we can go out and win the next game 3-0 or 4-0 and that will be it – the fans will be back enjoying Tottenham again and we will have it like it was when I first came here on loan. Then, every weekend I was happy to come in and play for the club because I knew I was going to have fun and enjoy it. Now it is not fun anymore. The critics are there and I welcome them – I take them in a good way and hopefully I will do my talking on the pitch. At the moment things are not going our way, but it cannot go any lower than this. Things can only get better.
“Obviously all managers bring their own philosophies, the way they see football, the way they see games and everything. But come on, this the third or fourth manager in two or three years so we just have to stop it now being about the manager.”
After the international break, Tottenham ’s next game is at Hull and according to Adebayor, it will almost be a relief to be away. “To be honest, I think so,” he admitted. “At least you know I am going to be having the majority of opposition fans booing me rather than our own fans booing me. And I am not just talking about me, I am speaking on behalf of all the players. I think it might be better to play away from home at the moment because at least we know beforehand we are guaranteed to be booed because they want their home club to win. But when you are playing at home and your own fans start booing you after a few minutes then it is harder.”

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor
I agree, it's no more than fair comment. Obviously, it makes it harder for them if they anticipate getting booed for making errors; it's unhelpful at best and I never do it myself. Human nature means that you are going to try and avoid that happening, but trying to deal with it by abdicating responsibility and "not wanting the ball" only deepens the negative spiral. They're the ones earning tens of thousands a week to play. Man up, ffs.

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor
The guy is picking up 100k a week and having a go at people paying £1,895 for a season ticket to watch his half arsed performances this season.
The same guy that was supported by his fans at Arsenal then decided to celebrate in front of them when he moved clubs for money.
The same guy that give the 5-0 gesture on twitter because he was ****ed off at AVB.
He has no right to have a go at paying Tottenham fans.
They'll still be there when he's off playing for West Ham or QPR.
"Then, every weekend I was happy to come in and play for the club because I knew I was going to have fun and enjoy it. Now it is not fun anymore."
He's paid to go and perform. Not to ****ing enjoy himself.
"we just have to find a way so that we can try to understand what he wants to tell us and how he wants us to play and put that on the pitch. If every player could do what the manager wants then we would win the Champions League. But at the moment we are not getting the message."
How ****ing thick are our players?

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor
Mate actually listen to what he is saying. He is completely right. Support, and the confidence that comes with it, is a vital part of what should constitute home advantage.
This isn't an argument about who earns how much money and who has the right to boo. This is a point he is making about how the atmosphere at the stadium affects the confidence of the entire team. And the reason he is likely made one of the vice captains, is because he has got the balls to come out and say this, and take the flack, on behalf of all the players.
He's completely right,

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor
Of course he's right, seems some think because they earn a pretty penny they are robots who won't be affected by constant moaning everytime something goes wrong?
Our fans have been called out a lot, from all angles - the players, manager, media, on these forums. Maybe its time to take a look at our 'support' on a matchday at WHL...

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor
I don't think he's having a go at the fans with those comments. He is just stating the obvious, really.
And no matter how much money players make, they are still human beings. It's only natural that booing has a negative effect on them.

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor
Half the people on here having a go at the 'support' weren't at the game.
I don't have a right to complain about paying fans and neither does a guy with the history Adebayor has.
