Glorious Defeat

[r-u-s-x]

I feel whole again - being successful is not what being a spurs fan is all about.

proud of the players.

Onwards and upwards

I pos-repped you, not so much out of any major argeement, just didn't see why your post deserved to be negged.

I think I understand what you tried to say in your first sentence, which the other individual didn't, namely that you stick with the team through the good times and the bad.

 

[sammyspurs]

I dont get it

 

[tricky]

I suspect he is trying to say that his support is, was, and never will be purely contingent upon some notion of success.

Something I happen to agree with.

 

[dmartins13]

If you only support spurs for success, I wouldn't bother. We are Spurs, that's success enough

 

[Poi]

We all love Tottenham, I think we get it. It's normal to feel overly optimistic when we're winning and dissappointed when we're losing.

Now stop with the sentimental bullshit, it's football.

Spoiler

Yikes, I'm a miserable fucker today.

Dreadful post, being successful is what being a fan of any team is about...we all strive for success and when overpayed shit cunts like Adebigwhore fuck it up it's nothing to be proud about.

No idea why he's been neg repped

No idea why he's been neg repped

Maybe because he's making it acceptable to be shit aslong as we're putting effort in.

I just don't feel we are always aiming high enough these days. Aiming high, yes, but high enough?....

I wouldn't call us 'successful' as such. We don't win trophies year in year out, Man United are successful. The mentality of our fans have changed drastically. We may be going for higher boundaries but its still Tottenham Hotspur, I don't see what's changed. You can even see this in the atmosphere at WHL. People are expecting things when we're in a transitional period but still doing well.

I expect a minimum of 10 neg reps, but I hate that quote. Ironically, it justifies failure.

Id rather win the FA Cup, than lose the CL final.

Point is that are we aiming high enough? Aiming high enough would have seen Lloris instead of Brad, showing that we mean it (for example)

I disagree, mostly because of the word 'overpaid', but partially because you have condensed an opinion down to one aspect of being a fan, and then go on to state that it 'is what being a fan is about'.

You appear to suggest that no-one else has any possible other reason for being a fan, for example being born in a particular area of the country and supporting the local team i.e. being born in China automatically qualifies you as a Man U fan.



I could say that 'Hyperbole' is what it is all about, as evidence seems to suggest that it is increasingly becoming that way.

But I won't.



Because I suspect that you would have to google 'hyperbole'.

 

[Audere]

I suspect you won't have to look up the words 'patronising cunt'

 

[Belgian Brownie]

Ah, fuck it!

I am SO pissed off that I don't think I'm making any fucking sense any more!

True, but it also says (to me):

"If we aim for the quadruple every year, and fail every year, its still glorious"
