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.
HR…Are you stareing at me officer ?
PO…No, i have a severe squint,was actually looking at the clock.
martin o’neill’s merry men are creeping up on the arse would you believe.
John Terry`s case being put back until after the Euro 2012 Championship is a disgrace. It should have been heard ASAP to either clear his name or find him guilty. The fact that he is England Captain has no bearing on a case of Racism. The FA are clearly not tough on the chosen few.
With respect: It’s nothing to do with the FA. A criminal court has set the date.
I would think the FA requested a later date to ensure his availability, too much of a co-incidence a week after the Euro`s. Capello was adament he wanted Terry in the squad.
The FA had almost completed it`s enquiries when the police stepped in with a criminal case. The FA could still strip him of the captaincy or tell Capello not to select him in the interests of football. That would have no bearing on the case in question.
It is common for court cases to be adjourned around previous committments such as holidays, and this is applied to both defendant’s and witnesses.
You should also consider that the witnesses against him are also footballers who may have a similar schedule to Terryble and may have already booked holidays for May and June as well as their being the remote chance that they could be picked to play in the Euros. It would seem perverse if they refused to give Terry an adjournment because of the Euros, but then granted it because Ferdinand was in the squad, or alternately, that Anton could not be picked because he has to give evidence against him.
Finally, the FA would not take any action prior to the outcome of a criminal trial for fear of being seen to prejudice the outcome.
Not picking him or Terry voulentarily stepping down would not be prejudicial in fact it would lessen the current furore and be seen as aiding the England cause.

Correction…Erlan Mealla
Sign him immediately :-)
We need to train Def to do that for the next time he over-runs the pass to him.
