Is Harry having a dig at Spurs fans?

Harry Redknapp has had a slight dig at Tottenham fans after they watched their side slump to their first Premier League defeat of the season.
Wigan’s Hugo Rodallega netted an 80th-minute winner to give the away side and all of their 40-strong travelling support something to shout about.
Harry said: “I fear these games more than any other games. These are not games that you enjoy.
“People turn up here today and they expect you to walk all over them.
“After two minutes, we give the ball away and they’re, ‘Ooooh’ – they’re on your case.”

You're a tit.
but we need new players cant beat wigan at home its a disgrace
It was a tired performance but the boos at halftime were a little harsh.
Harry what u have done so far has been spot on however 2day was a disgrace total lack of effort! I don't mind losing if we try and to be honest he should have seen that 2day and to mug the fans off is beyond believe sort the team out Harry! +bring in a top striker we r short!!!!!! Need someone like drogba but with a spurs heart!
We’re not far away, but not there yet.
No team has any divine right to win anything and we all need to be behind the side for every single game. This is going to be a long, long season and the 12th man will be needed at every game.
I agree the performance was not good enough and as we have seen for the last few years (Wolves last year) we struggle to break teams down. However how much of a lift do you think it gives teams like Wigan when our fans start getting on the backs of players. We need to have the best atmosphere regardless of winning or losing.
Just to point out as well Chelsea lost 3-1 to Wigan last year but went on to win the premier league! these things happen and whilst annoying at the time they are just a blip in a very long season.
COYS
Wigan did not want to play football for 80 minutes (in fact there were 2 comedy moments in the match where the ball broke for Wigan and no-one dared venture into our half). But the ref a) allowed their players to waste time from the 2nd minute b) ignored constant shirt tugging, leg tapping and obstruction c) only gave us or them a foul if a player went to the floor. I think Harry took Lennon off because he was in serious danger of lamping the pr@t after getting clattered for the nth time but not getting anything.
I'm not saying "he didn't give us…". Even the decisions he did give us were awful!
we pay our money and desire effort for the team…
I say a teams fans should push their team all the way to final whistle, in particular when there are no goals or just the odd goal in it. Im a driving instructor (stick with me) and it always amuses me that if a learner has stalled the car at lights or a roundabout that some mindless individuals choose to voice their frustration by sounding the horn, which has the clear effect of unsettling the learner into making more errors and, therefore taking twice or three times longer to get the car in motion again. This is just like when your team is struggling to make headway in a game (eg: wigan at whl 29-8-10) – after a while patience wears too thin and the idiots start booing or jeering or singing negative songs. This has the same effect as tooting that learner driver at the lights – its un-productive, uninspiring, even soul destroying at times.
So fellow spurs fans, next time you feel the urge to start booing at our own players, think twice, because if we collectively continue cheering the boys on we'd be far more likely to scrape a result from the jaws of victory, and as manchester united have proved, that can be the difference between falling at the final hurdle and making history.
Ihave been a season ticket for god knows how many yrs ,Harry i dont like,but he was right talking before the game we said he should maybe freshened it up thats Harrys perogrative .They were poor yesterday but get used it it quickly Harry and others .
What my concern is i am havin to sit in the paxton for my sins, i thought the support from the park lane and shelf was resonable ,but the booing ath at half time was a F******G disgrace we new they wernt performing you could tell and they new it ,but to boo at half time was un-belivable i except this from the the part timers at the effemanites[scum] and chelski i know it was only a few not hundreds but still i hope they are proud of the BOOING their own team
Plus when we move i hope our PITCH IS A LOT BIGGER becaused they done the same as young boys and doubled up on bale and lennon and left them no room with two defensive midfielders[which we didnt need] we ran out of ideas also CROUCH premier league know how to play him yet again ineffective hardly won a header [but harry luves him] long balls garbage build up allways to slow
also i agree those beloved fickle geordies!
ALSO PHIL DOWD U ARE A DISGRACE handball u dick!
coys!
So bad why can’t Harry see this. ?
so if the average working man forks out in our world "big money" on a ticket,they have EVERY right to boo the team if they are playing crap.some people only get the chance to go and see one game a season because financially they cannot afford it.so if that one game happens to be wigan then of course he or she can boo the team!!
i think sometimes these big paid managers and players lose the sense of reality and dont realise how easy they have got it! i would quite happily pay to get a game in front of the faithful and i know for a FACT if i was to get the chance to play 38 games a season in the prem i certainly wouldnt put in a half decent performance at any time,as the players did against wigan this season..and AS they did against hull last season,wolves last season and stoke last season!!!
NO EXCUSES 'ARRY…PULL UR SOCKS UP
got to win these games to get a sniff of top 4 this season.thank god money city lost today
Learn the songs (about our own players), make up some new ones, and sing them to lift the team. That's what "support" means. If you're having a cr*p day at work, what works better – somebody cheering you up and lifting your spirits, or someone telling you you're useless and a waste of space? If you're feeling tired, would a silent library fill you with energy? Don't let inferior opposition capitalise on an atmosphere of nervous silence.
Yes, the team played poorly at times on Saturday, but that's when they need us the most, to drive them on and fire them up in the right way.
Nothing wrong with sneaking a last minute goal on an off-day, some of us need to realise that you're not going to get an ideal performance every game – yes I was frustrated during the game as well ;p but we should be lifting the team and encouraging – I'm sure none of us would perform if we had 36k people looking over our shoulder and moaning at every mistake or missed opportunity, instead of supporting you.
