With Sol Campbell, y'know, for balanceThere's no way I'm watching Sky's broadcast of the derbys today, cos you just know ours will have Alan Smith, and the scouse one will have Carragher - two of sports most unbearable voices.

Woolwich (a record 13-time winners) - 2
Chelsea (reigning champions) - 12
Liverpool (seven-time winners) - 22
Manchester City (Premier League champions) - 23
Manchester United (12-time winners) - 24
Norwich City (Championship leaders) - 28
Guiseley or Fleetwood Town - 45
Wrexham or Newport - 47
Tranmere Rovers or Southport - 48
Solihull Moors or Blackpool - 51
Woking - 54
Lincoln City (became first non-league side in 103 years to reach the quarter-finals in 2017) - 56
Barnet - 59
Conk faced has been Phil Thompson slagging us off again. Says 'we don't support our team'. What is this cock on? No idea what we have to go through with Wembley, did he say anything when we had 80,000 for Bournemouth? I would like to smash him in his vile scouse face.
I think its a combination of jealousy from rival supporting journalists/pundits, sadism and the simple fact that the likes of the BBC and Sky would be terrified of Spurs taking the limelight away from the Scouse, Yanited, Woolwich etc who like it or not do make up the majority of their audience. Add all these together and you get a lethal concoction of hoping that Spurs fail. What I used to find even funnier though was when the likes of Lyall Thomas(remember that prick) used to come out and try and deny it, even when he was tweeted concrete photographic evidence, such as Poch's pic being inexplicably left out of the "top managers press conferences" etc. Truly laughable stuff but hard as it may be we need to rise above it as a fan base because it seems by highlighting it we're merely feeding the trolls.I find it really strange that the media don't find the THFC story more sexy. Here's a Club that has worked tirelessly over 10 years or so to gradually improve the squad, the training facilities, the stadium, maintaining more than any other team a consistent top 4 position in recent years. Unlike all of our competitors, we have never bought the so-called world class players (other than Hugo who at the time of purchase was considered to be so) to provide immediate - if very expensive - improvement in standards. All this with a current squad that is very likeable and provides the spine of the England team, yet it seems everyone is waiting, even hoping, that the wheels will fall off.

Makes me so mad. Had more at Wembley on a Wednesday night against a very poor team than Leicester managed on a Saturday evening against us.
Think Spurs fans been unbelievably patient waiting for the new stadium when a lot of us thought that by now we would have been well and truly ‘home’.
That we built a "too small" new stadium to make it look like we are selling out when we should have gone bigger or something stupid like thatWe don't have a 'home' ground ... Wembley is utter shite ... we don't 'add' 10,000 to our gate numbers by including all ST's sold ... and yet we still come out above City and the Dippers .... but the Media says 'we're not turning up' ....
When we sell out NWHL every single game what will they moan about then?
Manchester United 74,490
Woolwich 59,947
West Ham United 56,903
Tottenham Hotspur 54,514
Manchester City 54,020
Liverpool 52,553

I was going to make this point too...it's all about pandering to the fans of the most popular teams, that's why the top 4 is now a top 6, with United floundering it'll be a top 8 soon...I think its a combination of jealousy from rival supporting journalists/pundits, sadism and the simple fact that the likes of the BBC and Sky would be terrified of Spurs taking the limelight away from the Scouse, Yanited, Woolwich etc who like it or not do make up the majority of their audience.
