TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Liverpool

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Pool get a lot of stick on here but can't take away your stature or history despite the last few years being rocky..

Personally I don't understand the levels of hate from some Spurs. If you take us out the equation I'd much rather you or Utd (sorry) win the PL than Chelsea, City or arse.
It always puzzled me. I don't like the fact of Liverpool having all these supporters from all over the place who only started supporting them because they were good, but other than that I have no particular hatred for them. I like going to Liverpool/Everton as I like the city and find scousers to be good people on the whole.

City have directed far more vitriol and bile at us over the years than Liverpool have, besides the whole money thing they just seem to hate us more and they love a bit of anti-semitism too. Whereas a lot of our support seems to hate Liverpool more than City? I always thought perhaps it was fans who don't go to away matches but that doesn't seem to always be the case...can understand the older lot hating them as I know it was a dangerous place back in the 70s/80s but people of my generation and younger I don't understand it.

Agreed, I never really get the reputation they have......like there are no scum in London, Birmingham, Manchester etc ffs!
And Liverpool's trophy cabinet has been earned over a century and its one I respect. I'll never see City in the same light though.
 
Some headache decisions to make here for Pochettino. Does he go with Aurier or does Trippier slot straight back in?

Does Dele come back in the team? If so, who misses out? Winks and Sissoko based on recent form don't deserve to be dropped and Dier is simply needed in the middle of the park.

Does he go with the same line up as yesterday and play Llorente to bully their fragile defence? If Davies isn't fit, do we start with Rose?

Does Lamela perhaps make the bench!? Surprise Dembele inclusion?!

Think we have a big performance coming up.

Posts like this remind me of the transfer window when I was (overly) concerned about our depth.

And here we are trying to figure out who to sit. First world problems.
:levywhoa:
 
With regards to the game at the weekend, I think we'd be foolish to high press against them like we tried to last season. We have more than enough going forward to hurt them on the counter and try and sit back and soak it up.

If we play to their strengths, it's a 50/50 game in my opinion. If we play a bit more like we did against Dortmund, I feel we have a good chance of beating them this time around.
 
I hate Liverpool.....

I hate them more than ANY other cub.

bring Irish an living in Dublin you grow around Liverpool fans. and they're the most arrogant, entitled cunts imaginable. they genuinely think they've a right to win the league every single year despite having not won it it in TWENTY SEVEN years!! This arrogance is epitomized in the media -Soccer Saturday 4 days ago Phil Thompson said he EXPECTS Liverpool to win the league every year.... LIVERPOOL... EXPECTS...WIN THE LEAGUE! not top 5, not a title fight, Win the league..

Seriously! The arrogance and these cunts is unparalleled! They thing they have a God given right to success, they supporting their club is a totally different experience to supporting any other. Their fans ring into Sky/BT to complain when there are ads or voice-overs over 'you'll never walk alone' Seriously!!!

They think Football is less without them, it was epitomized by Brenden Rodgers who got them back into the CL for the first times in years, he said "it's good for the Champions League and it's good for for football that "Liverpool FC" (Liverpool Football Club) are back where they BELONG"

Fuck off you cunts, Mark Lawrenson hasn't predicted Liverpool to lose a game in over 3 years! When Sterling wanted to better his career and go to City he was vilified by all the Pool pundits -John Barnes on Talksport "Why would he leave such a great club? where better to be?" OH I don't know John, somewhere it's not the 1980's and he can win a fucking trophy!! Fuck off

it's Micky Quinn, it's Gerrard, it's "Thommo" it's "Lawro" it's ,Michael Owen, it's David James, It's John Barnes, It's Steve McManaman! It's John Aldridge - I hate them to a man! I hate that at the start of every season we finish above them year after year after year EVERY pool pundit predicts they'll finish above us!

I fucking hate them, fuck them, hope we smash them.

Sorry for the rant


Perfectly understandable mate and I agree with every word!

And you didn’t even mention ‘victims’ once!
 
That's quite ignorant. You can't stand at a football ground anymore due the actions of David Duckenfield. And there were many factors that led to Heysel Stadium disaster. Poor segregation and a dilapidated stadium were the primary ones. But I agree with you about Anfield. Turning into a real mess of a ground and they should have rebuilt it from scratch.


Nothing to do with segregation

Italian fans there were friendly and wanted a good time and were attacked by these mindless scum
 
I remember when we got done 7-0 up there. On the way back a big group of them were taunting us. About 20 Spurs broke the police escort and went at them. They all melted. Every one.

Always been mouthy cunts.


I was at that one in the Anfield road end

Also at a cup match a few seasons before where we drew 0-0 and our coach which included many women and children were attacked in Stanley Park by these cunts throwing bricks at the coach as we drove off
Still remember the screams as several windows smashed

Bunch of fucking cowards
