"It comes to something when the level of discontent at Tottenham had people who have spent all season watching West Ham wondering if it was all a bit much. There were cries of mutiny whenever Guglielmo Vicario tried to play out from the back, jeers at half-time and, of course, sustained boos when another home defeat for Thomas Frank's nervous wreck of a team ended with one last cross from Djed Spence drifting sadly out of play in the ninth minute of added time."
"Somehow, the malaise at West Ham felt mild by comparison. At least the anger in east London tends to be focused mainly at the board for the failure to kick on since swapping Upton Park for the soullessness of Stratford in 2016. It is not targeted at the team or the manager as much, whereas the grumbling at Spurs seems to fly in all directions."
Tottenham supporters showed intense discontent with cries of mutiny at Guglielmo Vicario trying to play from the back, half-time jeers and sustained boos after a home defeat finished with Djed Spence's final cross drifting out in added time. The stadium atmosphere felt poisonous and unsettled. West Ham's problems felt milder, with fan anger largely aimed at the board over the move from Upton Park to Stratford in 2016 and poor matchday experience rather than at the team or manager. Tottenham invested £1bn in a spectacular ground, yet fan frustration spilled into a small protest outside.
