Mate, let's all laugh at Tottenham!

[US_Gooner]

I know my views on Tottenham are not what they are "supposed" to be, as they are not as extreme as is the norm.

Surely some of you agree with me though?

Goodness, should have kept quiet I guess.

Several years ago, I was vacationing in Jamaica. It was early spring and I was trying to stay in shape for the start of our Sunday League, so I was jogging every morning on the beach. Arsenal tops are my typical running shirt so I was getting some beach chatter from local Man U fans (and others).

One morning when I got back, my wife and son were having breakfast so I joined them. Just as I sat down, I hear , "Fookin' Gooner". Turn around to see a blanched, balding older guy sporting a Hotspur tat on his right bicep.

I laughed, because that was just when their season was collapsing and The Arsenal was taking its rightful place amongst the top 4.

I agree in some respect. I have grown up hating Sp**s because we are NL rivals, simple.

However I hate Utd because a close friend who I grew up with supports them, so we both hate each others clubs with a passion. One of my favourite Arsenal moments was the 1979 FA Cup final. We watched it together!

I also hate Chelsea, no explanation needed.

When Sp**s play either of the above, I am quite happy to see a draw, unless the points have a direct effect on us. Basically I just cant route for any of those 3 clubs in anyway, not even in a European game.

 

[Aevi]

Why is that important to you?

I don't see why you bothered typing that.

If I don't hate Tottenham (I dislike them, but have no reason to despise them), that's my choice. I merely wondered if those circumstances that brought me to that decision was shared, or if other non-London/England Gooners still hated Tottenham because it comes with supporting Arsenal.

Sorry if I sound mad, your comment just sounds of sour tone.

If I ever have a personal reason to hate them, then I will. I plan to move to England one day, where I have lived briefly before, and then I might conform to the hatred. The territorial hatred is understandable, I have just not experienced it.

Being rivals is good and all, but it doesn't feel right to me hating people just because of something like "we are rivals". I am probably just too objective about it, I am sure some people say they hate Tottenham lightheartedly.

Rocky, is that you!?!?!?!

Look, I am not a Sp**s fan by any degree. Just not a hater. As I said, unless they face teams I truly dislike (Chelsea, Stoke, or Manchester City), I always root against them in Arsenal fashion.

Tottenham are hard to hate. They are like a really annoying guy with downs sydrome. Hes annoying as hell, but you feel sorry for him at the end of the day cause his life is just so ****.

I hate the likes of United and Chelsea more than Tottenham.

If you ask those Spuds though, they hate Arsenal with all their heart and it sickens them that we have a chance of winning the title this year.

 

[Gooner Zig]

I think it's hard to understand the Sp**s rivalry without living in London tbf...I moved to Toronto a few years ago and the vast majority of Canadian Gooners I've met don't really see the Arsenal-Sp**s rival from the prism local Gooners do, which is understandable.

I live in London and honestly I dont give a damn about Sp**s lol. The only time I cared was when we were battling them for 3rd and 4th 3 years ago, other than that Ive always seen Chelsea as the main rivals.

Dude, that paragraph is so full of ****

Its just how I honestly feel though. I hate dem spuds but its hard to really care about them when they are so irrelevant. Maybe if they start actually being a threat to us I might take them more seriously.

Yeah but don't insult people with Downs, they're awesome

Better get this back on topic. This is not about handicapped people. We're playing Chelsea. Maybe it is.

Sp**s ain't hard to hate, I would hate them even if they weren't our rivals..

Their fans are a bunch of mugs and every Sp**s player makes me physically sick...

They are ****

Bloody unnacceptable mate , just unbelievable ignorance.

 

[Sweggeh]

Well that joke went down well....

What I was trying to say in a nutshell was Spuds don't bother me too much because they are just too ****. If they were good, it would be different. Didn't mean to offend anyone. If anyone has downs syndrome here, Im sorry.

Please forgive me....

 

[morpho]

Lol, dude just stop. Better to be quiet and let others believe your stupid, than open your mouth and remove any doubt...
You wanted to say they dont matter because they are ****, by compare them to people with downs??

Stop being so precious bruh. It was a bad joke. Let it go.

I didn't see all this righteousness when someone (can't remember who) called Joel Campbell a disabled Douglas Costa.

Not in my thread please, take this outside kids. :confused:

Wish I could ban people and delete comments from my own thread, that would be sick. Like "Eh, I'm not feeling @GDeep™ today *bans*."

Im logging off anyway. Need to get some sleep. Will be back with more badly timed offensive jokes tomorrow.

If that were possible, GDeep would never post again.*

*Which would be a bad thing because he is a good poster, before anyone gets offended Im making fun of GDeep.
