Would you honestly hate Vardy so much if we were not top of the league i.e. if we were a WBA or Swansea this season? Naturally as rivals fans we have a hate towards opposition players. However, as much as I wish Kane would pull a hamstring for 4 games I still acknowledge what a brilliant striker he has become. Rooney on the other hand I have never rated.


Vardy is a top player, while I think Kane has a better all round game, Vardy's pace is destructive. However he is a chav, you can separate the man from the player. Terry was an amazing defender but he is a dick.

It's not even a rival thing, Ade is fucking crazy and he played for us, Kaboul always seemed a prick. You can have good players who are not the nicest individuals. It is what it is.

And yes Rooney is past it now, I always feel he was a man at 16 and just as he was around 5 years older than his real age back then it's the same now, he is 30 but his body is 35-36. No doubt he will still keep his England place.
 
Bans these days generally seem to be around 1 and only 2 if other reasons but didn't they used to be 3 on average a few years ago or am I going mental?
 
I have mailed the moderators to ask them to intervene as irrespective of who we support we should not be subjected to such pathetic behaviour.

Good luck with that mate. One of the attractions of this forum is that, aside from the occasional intervention when things get too heated, the "moderators" as you call them tend to treat us as grown ups who are free to express our own opinions.

This isnt the sort of site (RAWK springs to mind) where you find self appointed internet thought police intervening all day and every day - people here are free to call you a cunt if they think you are.

Which, judging by the replies you have been getting thusfar, they generally do.
 
oldschool this is the Wild West of Spurs forums full of Spurs fan thrown off other Spurs forums for arguing and cunting.

Generally it's a do as you like unless you get enough sin bin votes which leads to a temp ban or in the case of mad yid post pics of trannies and grannies.

It's why this forum has some of the most interesting but also crazy stuff around particularly in the off topic section.

If your looking for more moderate forums Spurs community and the like would be more suited.

I agree completely and if you read all the sarcastic replies you will see they are always in reply to insults and swearing being aimed at me. I have not insulted one person on here except that silly person and only want decent discussions but you have an issue with the Mrs person constantly swearing at me. I have already asked him to stop commenting on my posts as he only insults and is ruining what should be great honest banter and discussion between us.

On a football note what did you think to WBA tonight. I think you will beat them although I am sure Pulis will not want to lose 2 on the bounce and will park the bus at your place Sunday.

With Vardy out for at least 2 games are you confident in catching us now?
He's mailed the moderators!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Get in. Excellent.

I'm sure they'll be right with you.

Vardy is clinical and has skill and pace. I rate him as a player, never said I didn't. But he is also a nasty fella. I rate a couple of other players at Leicester, but don't think they are cunts because they're not, so I don't hate them. Obviously if Vardy was being suspended and it was this time last year I wouldn't be taking anywhere near as much notice, but my feelings about it would be the same. I wouldn't want to sign Vardy even though he would give us another option because he is the opposite of what I want for my club in terms of behaviour. If he was identical but not a cunt, I'd want him at the club.
 
And the transphobic Huth, and the numerous drink drivers - the most notable being Stephen Hughes who was found to be 5 (yes five) times over the limit last year. Shit players, shit club. Shit fans.
I'm loathe to be a hypocrite, and would like to think we wouldn't get behind any players like that...

Luckily for us, I can't think of anything that anyone in our squad has done to deserve scrutiny. In fact, that drink driving case against Berahino makes me uneasy about the possibility of signing him.

Edit: listened to about five minutes of that Woolwich podcast this week with Alan Davies in it to drink in their collective tears. Had to turn it off when I heard him talking about how much he likes 'Jack' and finds his antics endearing. Would expect as much from someone who once bit a tramp.

Get behind, yes, but ignore no. They love the fairytale nonsense. Rafa was a wife beater and Gazza. Great players, but flawed humans. I don't think anyone would deny that.

Sorry, poor choice of words perhaps. I mean to say 'lionise' or 'hero worship', you know?

Gazza was a bit before my time, so can't really comment on that one. Difficult on the Rafa one... wasn't really an opportunity to see how our fanbase would properly respond to it, considering he was gone by then. At least he was repentant for it, unlike Simpson. (also worth noting that he didn't get love from Spurs fans in the same way ever again)

Holtby went way down in my estimations when he cheated on his girlfriend with that air stewardess. Then went down even further based on his evident footballing talent (or lack thereof).

Weird how the football side of things and personal can both be so good/bad in isolation.
Suarez seems a nicer chap off the pitch whereas John Terry is a professional on the field.

Edit: no, wait, that Anton Ferdinand thing. Err, let's go with Giggs instead of Terry.
