sharkyvilla Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 45 minutes ago, Shropshire Lad said: I like them, because of my dad. I hadn’t realised just how many on here seem to dislike them. The other five of the big six, yeah of course I can see why people would dislike them. But spurs never win anything, they’re fairly inoffensive so even without my family link to them, I’d probably see them as the lesser of all the evils challenging up there. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Like a better run version of Everton. I kinda get the feeling that’s partly why people dislike them...they’re considered a “big” side, but they’ve not achieved anything significant to warrant it. Exactly, people have a dig at City, Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea saying they spent £x-hundred-million on players, then one team competes with them organically with a manager who has turned some pretty average English talent into World Cup semi-finalists and they hate them as well. I'd love if Villa could do what Spurs have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I don’t dislike Spurs at all. They are just in a funny place without doing anything of any note in any of the competitions they enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It's because they are a bunch of cockney ****s who think they are a big club and are not. .........now they are actually becoming a big club I find it quite annoying, so would really enjoy it going tits up for them just on the cusp of something special. To me, they will always be a tin pot club that signs players like Pavlychenko, Helder Postiga and Sergey Rebrov, finishes mid table, sacks their manager on the regular and then has their fans claiming they should be winning the league. Get in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they appointed Redknapp and my hatred went through the roof. These days I've simmered. Don't really care about them now. Something else you can date back to Glenn Whelan's equaliser...

PompeyVillan Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) GlastonSpur has alot to answer for regarding the Spurs hatred. He used to post on here and wind up the locals. He seemed like the kind of guy in his mid 40s who still lives at his parents house and has Spurs bedsheets and blinds. And they had bollock chops as their manager for a while, and that never goes down well on here either.

villa4europe Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 harrys a good shout, i hated them with him in charge too they're not as bad as west ham but i do think they benefit from being in london, elevates the level of coverage they get which back when we was doing ok pissed me off (same with everton) now i just think they're a shitter version of arsenal, at least they won the FA cup, what do spurs actually do? play decent for sky every now and then, have english players, they're one of the main offenders in the competitive PL myth, at no point this season was the title a 3 horse race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I think they might still make top 4 myself. However they are still in with a chance of winning the champions league. To me though they just haven't invested like the other top clubs have and the limitations of the squad is what is hurting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 i think the one thing levy didn't do in expectation of the stadium costs eating in to their coffers is prop the team up with yoof, 2/3 years ago they should have recruited 18-20 year olds ready to be in and around the first team now but they only have foyth (played 7 games) and walker-peters (2) coming through but that's also a poch issue because he's not using the youth team, starting 11 is good, the depth isnt there whats not being written that much about spurs is just how many young players are leaving them, bennetts (monchengladbach) griffiths (lyon) madueke (PSV) all left last summer, they also lost their head of recruitment to RB leipzig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, by the looks of it I'd say the new White Hart Lane is the best stadium in the country, and I'd include the one they currently play at in that.
