Also, did everyone notice that we dropped "Can't Smile Without You" as a prematch walkout tune! Thank fuck for that!! It's fucking awful tune to walk out to, completely fucks with the atmosphere. (It's a great Spurs song and I love it but not as a walkout song, yet another self-inflicted gaff from Kat at THST)
Commentator (can’t remember white) said it was the loudest and best atmosphere he’d ever heard in the premiership
So did Gary Neville, well, this season, anyway. Also said it was hostile - and it was.
As far as Guinness organization is concerned, we have the record in Kansas City with our NFL team, it’s 142.2 dB. However, that building holds 79,000.
Clueless and classless
. In fact, we spent most of the game standing, which has never happened before.
I'm talking about football (soccer to you?). But thanks for the info.
Beware of the snowflakes. We hardened by age can take a joke.
Short story long or long story short. You clearly care about the club. I appreciate itSo, I think I've just about come back down to earth. I've spent the day watching various clips on YouTube and reliving last night. And what a night!!
First things first, really good to meet up with so many fellow TFCers before the game, good to meet the real person behind the avatar and I really enjoyed your company.
I went to the Coach and Horses before the game, for a swift V&T. It was packed, but not as busy as the Bricklayers- the queue was enormous. But the queue outside the Chick King was three times as long (heard that it was closing down!).
I was in the ground before all the shenanigans started on the High Road, so missed the fun and games but I've watched all the footage
My heart sank when I heard that Cuti was injured, but Davy did a sterling job, considering he hasn't had much playing time.
Although I initially thought the tifo was a bit naff, it turned out pretty spectacular and it considerably added to the atmosphere. Talking of atmosphere - last night's was the best I've experienced at the new stadium by a country mile, it was electric, and the noise was coming from all directions, well apart from the north east corner
I noticed that the 3 guys sitting next to me in the Premium section were sitting very quietly, so I asked if they were goons, they said they were Spurs - who were they trying to kid? My suspicions were correct, as they left with 20 minutes to go, like a lot of their supporters
Not going to micro-analyse tactics, that's not what gets me excited, but apart from the first five minutes or so, they never really bothered us.
Obviously, their only tactic was to kick Sonny to pieces and for once, the ref did his job correctly.
That was the first time I've sung 'he's one of our own' to H, but I've nearly forgiven him, let's see what he does this summer.
Partying in the Shelf Bar after the game was nearly as enjoyable as the game. Some people might say we haven't achieved anything, but the feeling we all experienced last night doesn't happen very often, so you have to make the most of it, whenever you can.
I'm not going to say anything about Arteta's interview that hasn't already been said...... apart from what a tool, he makes Klippity look classy.
Now let's hope we don't mess up against Burnley and Norwich and let them off the hook!
So proud of each and every one of them last night.
For the life of me, I do not get anyone that buys a ticket to an away game and then sits with the opposition home supporters.So, I think I've just about come back down to earth. I've spent the day watching various clips on YouTube and reliving last night. And what a night!!

Have done it a few times in the past - seeing a game with an oppo supporter or just been desperate to be at a game. However that was in the distant past - wouldn’t be paying £70+ these days to sit in silence.
Yellow snow.Fucking nightmare day, close to death!
Anyway, time for the cure...
Yeh , but not for you knobhead!
