So I am absolutely buzzing for today's game, making lamb with spiced gravy for lunch, staying in my pj's all day and locking the door, not that there are any visitors anyway due to the lock downs here in Reykjavik.
Anyway, from my observations and perspective of an outsider I have noticed something on this forum.
My favourite reads are the "matches" forums from previous games while waiting for the match to start.....
.....and you guys are absolutely brutal with the players when they make mistakes, then if the player/s redeem themselves, they are absolutely worshipped, like it never happened. Total roller coaster ride of written emotions. Back and forth for 90 minutes. Then either its jubilation if Spurs win, or calling for sacking of players/managers if we lose.......then all is forgotten until the next game, rinse repeat. Its like watching a Jekyll and Hyde show.
I guess you guys call it passion, I'm still not sure what to make of it to be honest. It's been most addictive reading the matches forums.

I genuinely don't know who these Spurs fans are that give it the big and claim we're this big massive successful club.

Said this yesterday proper tee up for a shit festivalYes this has the makings of a right fuck up!
A few more solid wins under our belt and you'll start to believe, the nervousness will fade and turn into optimism and confidence. You'll put the match on your TV with a positive attitude and simply wait for Spurs to score, never imagining the opposition will come near to getting a goal. Trust meoh dear. Getting REALLY nervous now.
COME ON YOU SPURS
Had another bet.
Son to score a hat trick and Spurs to win 6-1 at 500/1.
Suffice to say, I'm feeling a little confident about today!
