Most yank bastards don't like this move. Tottenham is pretty disliked in the states. Yedlin is likely to see little game time. If he gets on the field, you'll be glad he was signed. He'll light the place up. He's a beast.Feels like he'll be signed to appease you Yank bastards
I'm always kind of surprised when people don't know the club considering how often fans of other teams go out of their way to shit on us.
If you aren't Utd, Chelski or Woolwich and Pool a small tier under, the most casual of fan won't know you are. Man City, maybe, but they have only been relevant a few years now. The four mentioned before have had a large presence for the last 20 years.
If they are knowledgable the first question I get is why?
Sad to hear 'we're pretty disliked'. Is that because there are a lot of Woolwich fans over there, or some other reason(s)?Most yank bastards don't like this move.

I not sure that we are that disliked- I like all of the 'Yank bastards' on this forum, even Tennessee if he is really behaving himself!Most yank bastards don't like this move.

Where are you getting this from? Actually a recent NBC poll indicated that Spurs were the most supported Prem team in the U.S., which is a fact I'm sure the club is acutely aware of. The poll results were:
Tottenham 22%
Woolwich 14%
Manchester United 10%
Even if you question the scientific accuracy of the poll, there is still no basis for saying Spurs are "disliked." Granted, there are more combined fans of clubs who are not Spurs, but there are arguably as many supporters of Spurs as there are of any other single club (especially when you eliminate the most casual fans who shrug and check the box for ManU but couldn't name more than a handful of teams).
Link?This stat was very early on in the survey when spurs were getting all the media for nbc's new campaign. By the end of the survey we were nowhere near the most supporte team
