haha, true!
If I had loved my ex-husbands as much as I love Spurs, they wouldn't be exes!
I have done in the past, but it never stops me talking to anyone who sits next to me.....poor bastards!
Spurs always. However, the World Cup comes around, my passion and desire is just as strong. I love my country just as passionately as Spurs. Football at the moment is crap so there's no comparison.
What an ignorant opinion to have
For "neutral" matches, I usually gravitate toward one team, as the action unfolds, and it can sometimes be as silly as the colour of the kit (as some have said)
Nonetheless, unless there's an impact on Spurs, the final outcome never really bothers me. Unlike watching Spurs, which is usually followed by either :eriksenlol: or :walkercry:Every other team is irrelevant. Spurs results are all that matters. I have soft spots for one or two other teams. Having been to watch them some years ago. I have never understood or accepted supporting the British side in Eutope. What crap.
Well explain how it works then, unless you pick your team when you are a kid through peer/parental influence i cant see any other way it would come about especially at an older age.
If you sprout your first pubic hair and still don't have a team then you really shouldnt be allowed full stop.
Tottenham all day long.
Nothing sader than a Liverpool fan in the office getting all excited because Chelsea v Woolwich is on the box that evening. Had some Liverpool fan try to give me abuse for not knowing who some qunt who played for Swansea or Norwich or something was. IMO if you watch those teams more than twice a year you need to evaluate your life. More than anything I simply don't understand how the hell people have time.
At uni one of my housemates wanted SKY. One of the arguements he put forward was "Spanish football". Told him it could be Barcelona v Real Madrid last day of La Liga season, winner takes the title and I wouldn't be watching. I stand by that - I simply have no desire to watch something that I don't give a fuck about.
The only other football I watch really is in the lower leagues and then it is with a passing interests, brought on through community (Luton, Stevenage, Bedford Town), or on Euro jollies. But with those it's more about the crowd, atmosphere and culture and sampling something new, really couldn't care about the actual game.
If Tottenham didn't exist would develop interests in other sports and activities I imagine.

I absolutely love football, there is rarely a day when I don't play or watch it and although I'm a lover of sport in general, football goes above that. The drama and excitement is unparalleled by anything for me - I can't deny that I cheered when Aguero scored THAT goal. Football dates are what I look forward to - I know when the Champions League Final is and when the World Cup starts and the only time I really feel confident speaking to relatives I haven't seen for years or friends of friends is when the topic of conversation is football. Maybe this makes me a bit sad but the beauty of football - the drama, the skill, those moments of absolute perfection on the pitch make it special.
And yet, I still voted for Tottenham. I can enjoy football as a neutral - the Dortmund vs Bayern game last year was great for me and I followed Spain before all the hype (blatant) when everyone chose a side instead of England for Euro 2008. However, nothing can replace the passion I feel when Spurs score. When I watch Spurs, something about me changes. I have been brought up on it and although I'm young, I've still been around long enough to experience the most thrilling highs and crushing lows. Yet every week, even when I tell myself not to, I still feel an inkling of optimism that everything is going to click and we will start to win and win. It's this blind hope that gets me out of bed in the morning and gets me through the week. All this makes my life sound very lonely and sad but Tottenham is a part of me and that's why I voted for us.
Oh and by the way - don't worry for me, I have a cat and lots of ice cream.

Bit unfair. What if you've got whatever Duncan Goodhew has?
Here's the logic.
If you love football and you love THFC, by implication you love THFC more than football. Don't ask, just think about it.
If you don't love THFC and you love football, you're not a THFC fan, and you obviously love football more than THFC.
If you don't love football and you love THFC, you're a simple stakeholder, and obviously love THFC more than football.
If you don't love football and you don't love THFC, the only reason you're on this forum is that you're a bot, and no-one here cares which one of the two you don't love more than the other.

There is nothing sad about loving football in and of itself without the need for tribalism of fandom. I personally can't fathom how anyone who likes football wouldn't get excited for something like the CL final or the WC regardless of the teams involved.
I wouldn't watch the CL final if it was in my back garden. I might have a butchers at the WAGS & that would be the extent of it. The CL & TV have turned the sport i used to love into nothing more than a money generating business where fans are seen merely as a revenue stream & not as its lifeblood. It is Sky/BT subscribers that 'love football' more than a specific club which is why we have to tolerate shit kick off times which are changed at the drop of a hat - its all about the football loving armchair 'fans'.
Just a few of the reasons why i will always love THFC more than football.
i think the thing that sums it up for me is the FA cup final. i remember when this was the highlight of the football calendar. Regardless of who was playing id be there 3.00 watching it....now....i honestly could not care the stupid kick off times...the way prem games are played on the day just has taken the magic away from me
Or ever posts there except in the come laff freds.
On the other hand, I wonder if this aggrieved AMF sentiment has encouraged people to pick Spurs in greater numbers.
