Good afternoon.
You’d think all being part of the same tribe, that Tottingham fans as kindred spirits would be all get on famously. This is the supposition of a naive child. The idea you put ‘x’ number of people in a room who all like cheese then making the bizarre assertion that they will share other commonalities.
I spell this out before I am accused of an irrational contempt for those some would call, ‘fellow fans’. Fans yes, but the idea that the common love of Spurs is some sort of mystical egg capable of binding people who are total strangers is farcical.
So that’s the perspective I give you in order to understand my utter boredom with the behaviour of too many home fans.
It seems that the pretty insufferable arrogance has increased the better we’ve played. Watching the game last night from home (‘cos you ain’t a proper fan are u aitch?’) it was evident that the first goal was in some quarters, ‘owed’, the second ‘due’ and from then on in the team were largely a bunch of wasters for failing to bury Martinez’ gang in an avalanche of goals.
So what’s my beef then? Wanting to win by a cricket score? No, believe it or don’t I can cope with that. It’s the sneering, swearing and snarling at the lads who are by and large playing some of our most exceptional football I’ve witnessed in my lifetime that grates.
Modric playing total football. Bale looking like a demi god, PNB looking like the sort of chap had he been in the trenches – the Great War would have been over in about three quarters of an hour. But still the know it alls groan.
Internet for whining, going to games for cheering. Hardly complex, is it?
Forget head cams on stewards. I’d take it one step further. Identify the loud mouth know it alls who behave as if they own the place and I’d serve temporary bans them. What’s the charge? Oh I don’t know, being dull in a built up area, wasting a seat that someone who wanted to be there would have been grateful of?
Anyone who has been to away games knows exactly what I’m talking about.
I’ve had reason to make contact with a good number of overseas supporters of late. Christ, I’m still working through the pile and my apologies if we haven’t spoken yet, we absolutely will. But I tell you this. There are not only some extremely likable but perhaps even exceptional folk out there whos passion and appreciation is so refreshing it leaves me buoyed beyond belief.
So viva the redevelopment of The Lane. A cheer for the bulldozers and a chinking of glasses to celebrate the marginalisation of these anti fans wasting tickets and wasting our time. Watching great football is a privilege not debt that THFC suddenly owe you once you buy a ticket from them. If you can’t cope with that, please give your ticket up to someone who can.
I have a feeling that if I was to log onto an Arse blog tonight, there will be gooners on there saying, “Don’t worry about Spurs, they still have to play us, cheatski and the scousers away, as well as Manure at home. They are only 12 points ahead. When they lose those four games, we will be right up alongside them”.
This time last year, they were 11 points ahead, and now they are 12 points behind. If I were Arsenal, I wouldn’t be thinking in terms of “we are only 12 points behind”? I would be asking “how bad my team is that we have suffered a 23 point swing to spurs in one season”?
So HH, as we have been generally very polite and civilised tonight, can you post that stat as a headline in your next blog, and we can then have the pleasure of giving the gooners who drop in, a cyber kicking.
Oooh! If we’re doing gooner stats, how about these?
Only Wigan (27) have conceded more goals on their travels this season than Le Arse (25)
or
Sunderland (19) and Fulham (22) have scored more goals at home than Arsescum (17)
or
Wenger’s harem have taken more points away from home than any other team.*
*Except for United, Shitty and Spurs. And Chavski and ‘Poo. And the Geordies. And West Brom and Villa. And Stoke. And Everton.
Talking about Sunderland, you can still get 16/1 against them finishing in the top 6. They are 6 and 7 points respectively behind the carthieves and Arse who have both still to play at Sund.
Not saying that Sund will catch them, but on current form, it’s doable and 16/1 is a decent price.
Hey Dub, it`s not even a match night and you`re wetting yourself, give the gooners a break they are 7th and might qualify for the Europa Cup by the Fair Play Card if one of the 6 teams above them win the FA Cup.
gooners -fair play?not in the same sentence :daumen:
Just thinking, wouldn’t it be great if Van Pervert was to do a Judas and join us on a free because he wants to play in the CL. He’s only got 18 months left on his contract.
creme de la creme :daumen:
Swansea are currently top of the Fair Play league, so even that might be too much of a stretch for them.
I have no love (or even liking) for Newcastle, but it would be chuckle-tastic for them to nick a CL place at the expense of the Goons and Chavs.
And it would probably get Pardew the England jobbie in the process :shifty:
the possibility of that scenario was suggested as a not unrealistic outcome today and caused much mirth and merriment in my conversation with a fellow yid.Both had a good chortle at that,hope no one was watching. :lol: :-D :freu
Well done to Spurs yoof tonight, bring on Barca…. :daumen:
