All Spurs fans inherently dislike the fact Tim Sherwood is our manager. Ok, so maybe that’s a sweeping generalisation, but as I look down my chauvinistic twitter feed I see little love for Timmy.

I could never quite put my finger on why I disliked him as our manager. Yes he’s a PE teacher and all but here’s a guy with a record to rival AVB’s: a winner of some pretty memorable matches (Old Trafford for the second season running); we’ve got a worse team than previous years, he’s not been afraid to bring new players into the fore and our points tally speaks volumes.

Well sitting here as an armchair fan digesting another dismal performance against West Ham has given me a lightbulb moment as to why I detest the post-Harry (who is apparently now el- diabolo) ‘Tottenham way’.

We have no tempo. No fucking tempo, and it’s boring as hell if not fucking infuriating.

Keeper gets the ball. Rolls it to a wing-back, who gives it to a centre-back, they’ll pass amongst themselves until all the happiness in the word drains away. Maybe, eventually they’ll chance a forward pass to Sandro (BEASSST) (if Sherwood isn’t being a petty tit and picks him). He’ll probably pass it wide. Ok we’re getting somewhere. Let’s drive at their defence, pummel them with explosive pace, get them running towards their own goal. Nope. Instead we’ll come back inside and pass in front of the opposing defence with the intensity of a decayed sheep carcass. We’ll do this until all will to live evaporates from spectator’s bodies. Is the game plan to send the opposition to sleep and stick it in the net of the unconscious keeper? At this point we might try something remotely attacking but we’ll probably just lose the ball and be vulnerable on the counterattack. We’re very easy to figure out, hence it’s a massive chore beating every fucking team even a West Ham team who haven’t won since Yugoslavia existed. So fucking frustrating.

You watch Liverpool or City, even fucking Arsenal and they distribute the ball quickly and FUCKING PENETRATE! You know what the result is? Fucking goals!

So let’s get Tim the tit out at the end of the season. Let’s get a manager who’s style is aggressive play. Let’s give him some money to buy some fast, but composed players (Lennon’s lack of it frustrates the shit out of me). Let’s get a ’20 a season striker’ and let’s put in some performances in that don’t make me wish to emigrate to Yemen and forget all about the previous weekend. Because right now, the ‘Tottenham way’ is a load of shite.

Fuck off Tim. You are tactically inept as shown by this performance. Should never have gotten rid of AVB. — Gemma (@gemboreeee) May 3, 2014

Fucking shit from 1st minute to last. Anybody saying they want Tim Sherwood to be our manager next season, quite simply, is wrong. — Jonny Walczak (@Jonnywol_) May 3, 2014
