Ah, that cunt was a Liverpool fan


Mystery solved!

People want to believe this shit so badly.
One season wonder
Tap in merchant
Cheat
“X”,”Y” or “Z” is better

Quite why, I cannot explain other than one obvious reason...sickening, green eyed envy is torturing them.

Every single one of these cunts (& that is the only word to describe these pond dwellers) would give a testicle to have Harry in their team. Every single one of them.
My neighbour (the die hard hammer) sent me a one line message after the game. It read “Harry Kane, pure class”. That’s what they should all be saying. But they can’t bring themselves to. They are in denial, grievously jealous or simply don’t have a fucking clue on the subject of football.

Fuck ‘em all

Woolwich fan tv praise Spurs
Click to expand...

"We are shit" We are Shocking" "we can't compete", "we're miles behind".
Q: Can we can beat Citeh?
A: Yeah, 2-1; yeah, yeah you heard it here 3-2!!

"Spurs, Spurs, Spurs, Spurs".....

They have been feeling the heat from us for years now, with each year that has gone by that has ramped up more and more, until they are feeling an inferno.

Right now they are done, that victory against Real Madrid has killed them dead. Make no mistake, they all sat and watched that game in their millions, around the world hunched over their TV screens, red chino's and knock off Woolwich tops worn as some kind of defiance, from London to Scotland, to LA and Nigeria watching helplessly as we battered Madrid. Before the game all messaging each other about how we will get hammered (as one excited caller on TS so eloquently put it), sharing popcorn gifs and replying with The Goodfellas laughing gifs.

As they all settled down in front of their TV's with their carrot juice and Foie gras beside them they would have heard the CL anthem kick in, that would have made them swallow, then with the music blaring out and the camera panning around the stadium they would have seen that Wembley was full, with 30,000 more fans than they claim to get at their place. They would have also heard us, heard us sing at the top of our voices, create a noise that they can only dream about. All this pain before they even see us kick a ball.

Not getting over run - pain. Us popping the ball about - pain. Dele's goal - pain. Hugo's save - pain. Dier's block - pain. Ronaldo's through on goal, their heart beat races, they are on their feet, "c'mon Ronnie" "C'mo......." Vertonghen's tackle - PAIN! Dele's 2nd - Pain. "Oh when the Spurs" loud, very LOUD infesting their living rooms, penetrating deep into their souls - PAIN! Eriksen's goal - PAIN.

Feed off that pain, rejoice in it, wallow in it. A woolwich fan on a string.

That's the problem with the new generation of fans. You can't discuss anything about the game without their rabid dogma.
R.I.P. old school bants.

It’s not even the new generation it’s social media.....everyone can hide.

Imagine a scouser standing in the Kop and saying Lukaku is better than Kane.
Wouldn’t happen would it, in the real world.
In Cyber land anything goes though, like cunts wishing death on their own goalkeepers family.

Liverpool fans at the CL final would have kicked his head in if he actually shouted it out.

If we were ANY other club, doing things the way WE'RE doing, promoting youth, NOT spunking shitloads of cash on anything that moves, we'd be lauded and applauded, and backed by every single football fan who didn't support a team going for the title....

But we're not, we're still loathed, and treated as tight fisted bottlers, who steadfastly refuse to spend to 'guarantee' our success... and as such are always being treated as outsiders....

Why IS that?

Why are a team who are going about things the right way, and building (a state of the art ground) for the ffuture, STILL so widely mocked and ridiculed as being 'Spursey' when we've clearly moved on from that....
So why exactly does that shit stick?

Because us doing it the right way puts all of those who don't to shame and removes the excuse that they can't reach such heights because of a lack of money or stature at their clubs.

Newcastle, Villa, Everton, West Ham etc etc they won't say how impressive our footballing and financial rise has been because of raw bitterness. We've had to build what we've built over a sustained period of time and it's come with aches and pains but we've kept moving forward to this present point. Other clubs & fans just want success and equate money spent with a greater chance of getting it.

Brains over money spent gives you your identity, keeps the clubs traditions intact. All of these Managers saying we didn't spend blah blah blah and giving it as excuses as to why they didn't achieve when talking to the media, their Directors etc can get shot down in flames when anyone points to how we are growing at a club, which leaves their finger pointing to keep their reputations going redundant.

The media want a story and a more interesting read is who you're being linked with, who you couldn't or didn't sign etc. That makes a quicker buck for their click bait than reading up on a clubs organic growth year on year or who is performing well in the youth setup, how the club is engaging with their community.

Sex sells and how we are doing it is safe and sustainable and not very sexy in the eyes of those that write the tabloids.

We should be praised for safeguarding the club whilst pushing it to grow, instead it's a pisstake because we didn't throw all of the season ticket holders money at dross. The club has a real backbone to it and doesn't get taken for a ride but as I said it's easier for others to throw money at manic signings or to push what we are doing under the carpet as it upsets the modern day narrative of spending = success
 
If scoring tap ins was that easy everyone would do it. Kane scores those types of goals because he anticipates where the ball will be and finds space in the box. People only look at the goal, they don't look at all the work Kane does leading up to it to make the goal look easy.
 
From Barney Ronay in The Guardian writing about yesterday’s match:

“...Tottenham are, for reasons that remain unclear, the most widely chastised of the Premier League’s high-achievers. There has always been a certain jeering unease in the top flight towards a refusal to spend money, the kind of response you might expect in some sweaty, booze-sodden Friday night saloon bar as you sidle up to order your third Orangina of the night.

The urge to cast shade on this fine footballing project is evidence of how simplistic the narrative around football can be. Chuck in the reliance on coaching and youth systems – Spurs spent £18m net in the past five seasons – and it is either idiocy or mischief to conclude Pochettino has done anything other than an excellent job.”
 
I don't like the positive vibes coming our way, just not used to it. I don't trust the media one iota, they'll be on our backs as soon as we hit a bump in the road.

I don't mind the media hating us. They're mostly shit fanboys with agendas and biases.

The ones that make me laugh are when teams like Luton and Sheffield United chant about how 'shit' we are.

Muppets.

Fuck em

And fuck people like Joe Cole who obviously don't watch football saying "you don't hear the champions league theme played much at White Hart Lane"

Fucking prick...... We've been in the champions league 6 years out of the last 11 and got to the bloody final only to be denied by the shittest of reffing displays


How many times have West Ham been in it?


Oh that's right.....fuck all.


Although they are champions of Europe for the 'Primark Europa Conference League'

Wanker.
