Michael- when you said yawn after after saying you have heard it all before about wenger kids, how many years in a row now have we heard ‘ it’s Spurs year to take arsenal’s Champions league spot’ haha 38 pts. last year when it was said preseason. Honestly spurs will only ever contest the likes of arsenal when they actually learn how to make a decent signing in the transfer market. Scum either overpay for an average/below average player or buy someone totally useless or like their new crop of players buy decent/good players that cannot play together at all. When clubs here spurs are wanting to sign one of their players they put the price up, knowing it will be met by whatever dumbass that funds spurs transfers.
We are still hearing about that carling cup victory for spurs over arsenal last season. HA
1)It was arsenal’s kids, no matter how much spurs argue it, it is true.
2)Arsenal beat Scum year in year out but spurs don’t hear much about the win after a week. it’s been a year, give over.

Granite Blue – sifting through your verbal diarrhea is tedious. I couldn’t give a shit how many stadiums were empty in the 1980s. I have two points.

1. Tottenham have more supporters than Chelsea.
2. Newcastle supporters are NOT the best in England.

“we’ve got more pots than you” only came from me after Jinky Jim started talking shit about beating Tottenham in the FA Cup semin final from about 11 years ago!

Gooney Goonderber

Every summer, we have to listen to all you bandwagon-jumping twunts who don’t even know who Kenny Sampson was boasting about how Wenger’s gonna win the title and/or the CL. Any wonder why we call you scum? About 10% of Scum supporters actually know ANYTHING about football. Those are the ones who know they have no chance of winning the league or CL. The rest are like Gooney Goonderber – plastic fans completely ignorant about football but they are always hollering about how they are gonna win everything with Wenger’s kids. YAWN. We’ve heard it all before. Irrational, ignorant, weak, soft scum.

hmm….its important to note that rivalry is fun when comparing titles, players, etc. it gets really, really annoying when ppl start to put swearing into it becuz their club isnt legitimately better than yours. e.g.
“CHelsea are f**cking C**s with f**ing john terry the ***$&%$& retard….” stuff like that is just a bloody waste of time and energy

GraniteBlue, u hit the nail right on the head .. 3-point lane indeed !!!

Against my better judgement, I actually tried engaged a scum (michael) in a discussion … Okafor’s law states that: its impossible to engage a spud in any sensible discussion .. even rivalry induced venting is beyond them.

GraniteBlue and Jinky Jim you better leave these guys alone and keep your sanity. They know how to make noise and bleat out rubbish as loudly as possible .. all thrash talking is for the off-season. During the sewason, its best to leave the footie and results to do the talking.

Michael – judging by your semi-literate ranting, you suggest I give a monkey’s whether Spurs had more fans inside three point lane in the 80s. Frayed knot. My point was only that most clubs had half-empty stadia back then – especially Chelsea – and to say ‘we filled our ground even when we were shite’ is a tad deluded. A few teams filled their ground some of the time but not always and Spurs are no different. There was a time when the home counties mancs were getting less than 40k for the odd game. In Div 2 Chelsea once got 55,000 against Fulham but that was an exception. Chelsea’s always had a big fan base despite the crap football. As have Spurs, nothing to be ashamed of.

As for ‘we’ve got more pots than you’, isn’t that what your arrogant glory-hunting Arsenal friends are supposed to say…?

Funny how being a big club isn’t reliant on competitions won when it’s talk of Newcastle being a big club, eh? Any other fan would agree it’s about competitions won

Well, well, the Gooners are out in their masses…brand new huuge stadium, which they fill with bodies, but no noise (except when spurs are there, and thats just our supporters), fans sitting down, boring the Arse off each other with facts from yesteryear about their successes, or in recent years lack of them because of Wengers `youth policy`(we all know about those), and the FACT we stuffed them 5-1 at the lane…..Man-ure still crapping their pants over Berba, Newcastle, lots of noisy fans, shame the passion isnt shown on the pitch, Liverpool, ok side, but another lot that live on their history, and as for Chavski…..under-achievers, in relation to monies spent…is it just me, or do your Arsenal mates switch their mobiles off when they have a bad game??
STAND UP IF YOU HATE ARSENAL!!

As a utd fan I dislike Arsenal more than I dislike Liverpool, and you could say that geography / age / time when I started supporting United / time when I started following the sport closely has determined that more than anything else.

I can personally testify to the ferocity of Celtic-Rangers rivalry.

Growing up in Glasgow you could almost smell blood in the air just before & right after a derby was played in the city.

The rivalry is inculcated at a very young age. I was 4 or 5 years old when i became a Rangers fan.

Deluded Newcastle fans…win something,…. anything…. and then join in the big club debate. 40 years and trophyless does not entitle you to enter into the big club conversation.
