Out of curiosity, how old are you?
Not answering that first one directly as I can’t bring myself to type it (!) … but I have been going to matches since 1989/90. Went to almost everything in the 90s as a member and then STH. Back then a member could get almost any away game apart from goons and all the home matches. At times, it was utterly miserable at WHL and not at all fun. For every occasional surprise win there were plenty of depressing defeats! Away matches were generally fun, even when we were crap, and you got good gallows humour along the way. But when you’re trying to believe that Jose Dominguez is a quality little signing, you know how desperate it is.
I think the age thing is important in the 90s debate.
I actually did believe that for a while.Or maybe it was cas of wanting to...
Yup, we were bloody awful back then.
...but remember, before Levy Out, there was Sugar Out!

Football fan banned for shouting homophobic slur 'willing to make amends'
A fan who was convicted of shouting a homophobic slur at a football ground tells BBC Sport why he wants to make amends.
I almost spat out my Schmaltz Herring and Gefilte Fishl!!!!
OF ALL the 2 clubs to be embroiled in all this... and it turns out it's THIS way round?!!!
Don't get me wrong... It's not that homophobia isn't outdated too...
Or more recently kicking a black man off a metro carriage while singing "We're racist and that's the way we like it".
But those finishes are what I call financial finishes... i.e. European football and 5 champions league campaigns. would have been 6 if Bayern hadn't combusted in the CL final and allowed the blue scum to win. I look back I think we are treading the Woolwich path of seeing 4th place as a trophy and that doesn't sit well with me. As a business, Levy has made himself the poster boy on how to run a football club if you want to make money... as a first team, he has beaten us to an inch of our lives whereby so many fans just don't care anymore... that have accepted the reality that we will win fuck all and maybe not even challenge until we get new owners... only a few (CFT) still have a bit of fight left but mark my words the club will not pander to them even if they see themselves as the new supporters trust. Under Levy, when have we ever signed a player considered to be in the top 3 in his position. We haven't. Klinsmann was considered the best 9 in the game when he signed for us. What I guess I am saying is if Levy went out a bought Vini Jr to the club and we still finished 5th or 6th he wouldn't get near the shit he gets right now. It's the lack of trying to win and being very visible with it that has destroyed our fan base. Maybe that was his plan. Get rid of the loyalist and replace with tourists who might want to see Spurs but might equally just want to see a PL game.
I was always under the impression that one of their number, a renowned 'Headhunter' in fact, received money from a grown up male in exchange for certain sexual favours...?
You entertain by outscoring your opponent and as for filling the trophy cabinet there is a lot of free space waiting since the leeches took over.
Look pal I don't like you for your snidey comment about keeping the receipts for when Flangelos finishes Top4 this season.
