ChezGiven 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Sky Sports is run by a Spurs fan and according to a mate who worked there for 7 years, he only appoints other Spurs fans to senior positions. Not saying it translates into editorial policy but at least confirms the view they're all twats. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I have never heard such ridiculous conspiracy tripe in my life. If anything the media are biased against Spurs. We don't fit into the category of top four darlings or plucky underdogs. At least you have the "best fans in the world" myth that Sky like to propagate. I can think of at least two occasions in the last couple of years when the commentators on Sky Sports have openly displayed displeasure when we have scored in the dying moments. Andy Gray against West Ham in the 4-3 game and when Pav scored the goal that took us into the CC final against Burnley. Keep your kippah on, just relaying what a friend said to me.

London Mackems tbh, the most odious club in the history of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9382 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I think if we're honest it's because we're similar in our stature and we both flatter to deceive every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I remember that Andy Gray actually sounded depressed, even Martin Tyler's voice changed like he was commentating on Di's funeral. Fish isn't being reasonable neither, he's merely pointing out the depths of how far our stock has fallen in the last 5 or 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It baffles me because I couldn't give a fuck about them - and I'm astonished that any of them could give a fuck about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N174Life 0 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It's true. Really, we should only care when we're playing each other. Frankly, I can't even remember how I wound up posting on here on a semi-regular basis...damn booze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stevie Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 If you look on the internet though at various football sites, there are probably more arguments between Tottenham and Newcastle fans than any other clubs. It's wind up sites like that Sportingo, and that one with the writer with the Indian name who abuses toon sites. They'll ask the question who's the bigger club Everton, Villa, Tottenham or Newcastle etc.... and then it begins people can put a slant on any angle to make their club seem bigger than the other, and no fans take it more seriously than The Toon and Spurs. I think it boils down to frustration Newcastle and, I'm prepared to admit, Tottenham, have far more potential than any other clubs in the Premiership outside the top four, both clubs have dwarfed Everton in the size of the club off the pitch for nearly two decades, it's the frustration at under achievement that drives the support of both clubs to do this. We wouldn't have even answered the question are we bigger than Spurs during our title challenges and Champions LEAGUE jaunts as it would've been a laughable question and deemed unimportant, same as they wouldn't when they were poaching Gazza and Waddle. That's where the animosity partly comes from, and also the perceived arrogance of each others supports, which I have to say is valid in their case, they are arrogant.

khay 8 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 My girlfriend ex flatmate supported them, but normally I don't care to much. However in recent years I've gone right of Harry Redknapp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been interesting to see how far they would have gone if Jol had remained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I hated them when they bought Waddler and Gazza like as you say Stevie (it's true), but I was about 8 and 11 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
