Not sure if I am supposed to reveal this, but once a season NYSpurs has a shroom day. It's usually against one of the shit sides, but it's a fucking blast. Nil nil and the shrooms kicked in is often sung at the pub. Last year - I stared at the ceiling fan, threw up at half, and then walked home 10.2 miles through some of Brooklyns more interesting neighborhoods. Happy days.

I thought I had some crazy drunk stories. Billie is next level.

The Nelson Mandela song would be great if we sign the other dembele.

twoooooo mous(s)a Dembeles

 

[joespurs]

Couldn't agree more with I think Flav about singing the 'you're shit' song I think it's fucking embarrassing singing it whenever we are winning !

 

[Nick "Trevor" Sharp]

It was good for the West Ham game though. Funny there and then. But as with everything, it keeps getting repeated until it's not funny any more and it becomes embarrassing.

I used to think, when Lamela spent all that time trapped in Levy's basement/dead & buried/possibly just injured and nothing else to read into it (remember that? Good times) a "Freeeeee, Erik Lamela" would have gone down well

 

[Method Moran]

That Dembele/Mandela song would be amazing if we can get it making sense. The your shit song is an embarrsement. Cant be we just hold it back for West Ham every season?

I said to my mate against Sunderland that it's quite telling that we haven't really sung it since we went 1-0 up away at West Brom.......came back to bite us that day

I really should start going…

Ép's pedantry corner:

Flav , Thelonious , et al., on the "ch" in "Pochettino", there's a simple answer: "Pochettino" is an Italian name (I think it means "a teeny little bit"?), and in Italy the "ch" would be pronounced as "k" like in "gnocchi".

In Argentina, however… the Italian name is Castiliannated, and the "ch" becomes like the "ch" in "Chile".

You see this often in Argentine names (because many are of Italian origin). So which is "correct" is hard to say—you should err on how the person says his own name, like in the US W. E. B. DuBois is called "Doo Boys," though no one in France would ever say his name that way, but that's how he said it.

Another example: according to AC Jimbo, Shaqiri prefers the "Swiss" pronunciation of his name ("Shakiri") over the Albanian (something like "Shachiri"), so I've had to just start calling him that!

[El flaco]

on the subject of hated spurs players - nobody mentioned Adebayour. I always thought he was a cunt, even when he was shitting on newcastle for us. the only time I've not thought he was a cunt was when he scored that goal for man city and ran to the scum fans.
Another was Kevin Scott who ossie signed and was without doubt the shittest player I've ever seen in our colours. I hate him because he was shit, he added to our shitness at the time, and he was getting paid to do that.
Finally, I'll throw in the name of Hossam ghali. Shit and disrespected the club. Cunt.
