...then your mate ain't really a fan.....
Yeh but in truth if I’m an opp fan and Romeo does that Im calling for a red
You could be right tbh I don’t know
Yes.
That would be very exciting.
The most memorable and best feelings in recent times for me.
Bale Hatrick against Milan. We lost the game, but those goals made it feel like a win.
Lucus late hat trick vs Ajax. They dominated and ran Spurs ragged for much of the game.
Nobody will care and talk again about a 2-0 win over Everton at the weekend. Done and dusted at half time, and park the bus in the 2nd.
Now….. if spurs nick a 95th minute equaliser to secure Premier League football next season….we will be talking about the game for years to come.
...or, more likely, he has no mates and he made it all up....then your mate ain't really a fan.....
Really?
You don’t play for Spurs. You don’t win anything.
We are fans. Here to be entertained. To get the blood boiling. The adrenaline pumping.
Think of Movies…..to be entertained, we need to believe the hero might lose. We need to see him fight adversary, against the odds. Would anyone have enjoyed Rocky movies if he won each fight by first round knockout?
The excitement comes from overcoming the odds. If you approach expecting to win….the only emotion you have possible have is neutral (we won) or disappointment.
Personally, I prefer to watch a game where spurs are fighting till the final dying seconds than being 3-0
Up at half time and then controlling the game. YAWN!!
The players get $$$ and medals. The club gets $$$$$$. As a fan, my reward is entertainment. That’s it.
You're trying to change horses in midstream, but it doesn't work. Splosh.
You were excited about us being behind and being about to get relegated - weird, as I've already said.
Now you're excited about us scoring and turning things around. Two completely different scenarios mate - and your new scenario is not the one we've been discussing up until now. Splosh.
Face it, you're a complete mental mess - and soaking wet too. Splosh. I'd stick to the Ange thread if I were you.
You’re not a spurs fan though. You’re an Ange fan.
Why the fuck are you still here
Oh dear - you're digging the hole ever deeper. Reality not your strong suit?
It's probably in Moyes interest for West Ham to get relegated. It would give him leverage in contract negotiations as he can point to West Ham to the Everton board as an example of what can happen if they get rid of him.
In that case I can see him setting up for a draw which should help us if they aren't playing with much intensity.

No mate - I've read your posts. You're not a fan, you're a fanboi. There is a difference.
This is how some of us like to spend our time until Sunday.Imagine being baited by Harry7
Moyes? Setting a team up for a draw? Moyes?
You know, you could be right.
No.
And no offence, you clearly claim yourself to be a Spurs fan and that's fine, but that means different things to different people, and I think that perhaps your notion of it differs greatly to the general one.
I watch Spurs because I have an emotional investment in the club, I watch the games wanting a Spurs win, and hoping for the best for my club. If that's a win in a game that isn't overly exciting then so be it, if I watch a great game of football and we lose then I'm disappointed, the entertainment observed is no consolation really.
I don't look at my son and hope he has a really hard life in order to keep it exciting, similarly I don't watch Spurs hoping for it to be an ordeal in the name of excitement.
We need to be leading as it goes to 90mins. Unless WH are losing. We just cannot have it hanging on each Everton attack.
Hmmm, would certainly be a strategy...
I imagine Everton could quite easily make the counterpoint that Man Utd sacked Moyes and haven't as yet been relegated, on top of the fact that neither Wolves or Burnley have ever been managed by David Moyes and are relegated.
A series of corners and free kicks around the box for the last 10 minutes.
