bridgeman Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 I like looking at other teams boards and my brother is a spud so I keep an out out on them. I didnt really have a problem with them when i was growing up cause i thought they tried to play good entetrtaining football like us. While othr teams like arsenal, wimbledon and watford were typical knock it long merchants. but after all the whohare with Hoddle and all that i started to see them for what they were just an average sized club trying to hold on to past go glories for about FIFTY years an d being left behind by the really big london teams like arsenal and chelsea (ive also got an chelsea brother for my sins) If spuds were not from london they would be no diferertent to clubs like wolves, villa and forest who were once big teams. to me they are knwo bigger than us or any team aprat from the top four but to listen to the average spud you would think they were up their with man utd and real madrid. They reckon they can take any player of us they want now yet they havent got a chance of getting none of are players now. why are spuds like this? is it a london thing where they cant see outside of where they live or are they just deluded and living in the past? spuds have listed 10 ways they are better than us http://www.thfclatest.com/2015/07/09/saints-dont-like-us-spurs-dont-care/ and most of them happened before tvs were in colour. do you now any spuds and our they all so cocky and living in the past? we was above them for most of the season yet to here them talk you think they won it and we went down. i hate them more and more as i get older and i hope they never get that new ground built. they just like in the past they should be caled tottenham history not hospur.

Colinjb Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 I don't hate them, I pity them. It's quite funny that they have no modern ideas of their own so try and steal those of others and always wonder why it never quite works for them. Better to follow a team that punches above it's weight then one that will always aspire to more then is achievable. The unexpected is always more enjoyable then the events you feel entitled to.

S-Clarke Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 They're a decent sized club, with pretty nice backing - and taken advantage of some strong commercial oppertunities. It'll be interesting to see what happens if they have a sticky start this season. I don't think Spurs fans were too taken in by MP last season, I think they were all open to ''giving him time'' - but next season will be interesting. The knives will be out if there isn't notable progress, in my opinion. It'll be interesting to see how they feel when they're travelling to Milton Keynes for their home games.

Mr Biscuits Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 Liverpool fans are far worse. Especially the plastics (the plastic fan who lost it and sobbed on Talksport about how much he loved Liverpool for example) Your average Liverpool fans sense of self entitlement and how unfair everything is when they aren't winning is far and away worse than pretty much everyone else - including the skates. Not helped by the media pandering to them every season. (The w*nking going on over Gerrard this season is a good example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 10 July, 2015 Share Posted 10 July, 2015 Hmm, I'm not so sure. I remember reading a forum once of a league one club that claimed that Had only ever finished in the top 4 of the top flight once in their history. Yet many, many of their fans were indignant that they were on an unstoppable march to the champions league. That their fan base catchment area covered everything south of the line from Liverpool, through Birmingham to London. That they needed a 50,000 stadium to fit all their fans in that were going to watch their team of brilliant academy graduates who would never leave the club sweeping all before them as they destroyed every club between here and Babylon with their brand of Soccerball.

Wes Tender Posted 10 July, 2015 Share Posted 10 July, 2015 Their main, and only song is actually ours. An utter irrelevance. It amuses the hell out of me that they cite the example of Man Utd taking "their" Glory, glory song and claiming that it is the same thing as them adopting our song and claiming to make it better. Only an arrogant imbecile Spurs fan could fail to ignore the fact that the song is "when the SAINTS go marching in" and that we do not need to change the title to have any other British football fan know that the Saints are us. They are also stupid enough not to realise that when they sing their version at our ground, that it sounds as if the whole ground is singing our song in unison.

You can't rule out the "human element", well you can but it might be foolish to do so - we only have to remember the Italian referee scandals of not that long ago, when Juve were quite severely punished. For example many Liverpool fans used to be very derogatory about a certain Mr Howard Webb, most particularly when they played Man United, something I took of course with the proverbial pinch of salt and a wry smile. That is until one day I discovered by chance he was / had been a serving police officer with South Yorkshire Police, a body primarily responsible of course for the continued and ongoing Hillsborough Disaster "cover ups", armed with such knowledge I was never sure again that he was not err shall we say somewhat biased?

StAndy1970 Posted 10 July, 2015 Share Posted 10 July, 2015 Well said Mosin. I live in Poole, always supported Saints. Started going on my 8th birthday but had been for as long as I can remember. My dad was born in Romsey and have family scattered around Southampton even now. In fact St Mary's we even have a paving slab stating our family loyalties date back as far as 1898. But hey if you think you have a Devine right to belittle everyone who doesn't reside in Southampton that's your prerogative. However you are totally wrong and need to grow up.

van Hanegem Posted 10 July, 2015 Share Posted 10 July, 2015 I remember Feyenoord - Tottenham, the final of the Uefa Cup in 1974. It was the first time Holland learned what hooliganism meant. 4.000 drunken Spurs fans who saw their team getting beaten by a superior Feyenoord and started to riot. Those mf's came with knives out, innocent people enjoying the game were crushed, there were 150 people wounded and it was a miracle nobody died. Since that day Tottenham is the most hated English club amongst many Feyenoord fans, especially our own hooligans, the ones without brains and always looking for a thrill shouting they're "Feyenoord till I die!" Monkey see, monkey do... As a Feyenoord fan I have no problem with Tottenham Hotspur, you can't judge a club on a small part of their fanbase as I wouldn't like others to judge Feyenoord by the idiots who tried to destroy Rome this year.. However, I do feel more tense when we're playing them ('83 and '92) then usual. Even at a friendly game 10 years ago! But hating them because there are some fools amongst them who look down on Southampton? This sounds a bit childish to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
