My burning question this morning is who are THFC are selling home tickets to these days? Did anyone else feel the hate in the room last night? We seem to revisiting that whole ’emotional investment’ conversation again and again.
Look, I’m not advocating we routinely accept daft results like only taking a point off habitual losers like Sunderland at home. But we perhaps need to think about what support actually is.
I cannot recall an incident where a football team either collectively or by individual player were booed into playing better. But going to the The Lane these days there seems to be an upward swing in the volume of those who are outraged not only when Spurs don’t win but when a specific pass or shot falls short in the ‘magnificent’ stakes.
The internet is different. That’s what I told the cops. But it is. Brutally sledging Bob Keane online is a victimless crime. Nobody dies. Traveling to north London, paying £30 and standing on tip toe screaming despicable and vile abuse at someone wearing the Lilywhite shirt is bordering on psychotic.
Bentley of course was savaged. But his refusal to burst into tears and flee the pitch only served to provoke more hate. 3MP got his. Then Bale, then Modders.
The arrogance amongst our support is becoming increasingly suffocating. Try this for size. Ever heard the phrase, ‘As I Am You Shall Be‘ ? It’s a rough approximation of a not uncommon Roman grave inscription, Quod tu es, ego fui, quod ego sum, tu eris.
If Spurs fans continue along their current path, then they will become an arrogant foul mouthed version of the Woolwich Wanderers down the road.The Gooners haven’t won anything in a dog’s age. Their path instead has taken them on routine qualification for the Champions League.
We laugh out loud at Arsenalization, but you can’t help but wonder if some of our fans were put in charge of Tottinghamization at wherever our new home might be, complimentary scarves draped over seat backs would be replaced with placards marked, ‘W*nkers!’ and ‘F*ck Off Back To Wales!’,
So yes we lost two points. And excuses like our 3 best defenders are out and we haven’t got a striker you can rely upon are boring to hear. But we stand to lose a hell of a lot more if we aren’t careful.
Check These Mothers Out!
:sick: Nick Clegg on pride of Britain, can they not give a guidance notice before allowing that cunt on my TV :shocked2:
Just watching the bore draw manc derby, neither of these sides are any good period.
No daring to do with these cunts, both play 1 up front shite – chelsea or the scum for the title this season.
It could have been us, we could have been contenders
Yeah we could have been somebody, if we had a good manager
It was you…
Bloody awful game. For once in my life I was sober.
Be fascinated to see how many Citeh fans pick up on Gray’s awful Yanited bias.
Phil Brown’s quite good at the pundit gig.
That said, wouldn’t want to be the floor manager if my daughter was fit.
This comment relates to awful, beyond nice and unsubstantiated rumours that Brown knobbed the chairman’s daughter at his last club.
Just hit my ‘awful’ hat trick. Hate sobriety.
Nytol.
trouble is we’ve had it pretty good for the last year or so and now we are having a sticky patch ( for numerous reasons)not to mention teams coming to the lane to sort of park the bus, we are an expectant bunch of fcukers more than ever with expectation an all that brings with knocking around with our new big four mates!
fact is we aint no different to other fans with any ambition- you should of heard those fcukers from up the road calling into radio stations calling for wengers head & slating fabregas and wilshere after they got turned over by the toon at home
