Being a Tottenham fan I am currently getting plagued by jokes about how st Spurs are (which they are)
But they are always crap.
Why do people think it is clever to tell really infantile,unfunny st jokes on the basis that "it is about football so must be good".
Look at the last couple of pages of this thread to get an example of what I am talking about:

Now I am not a bad loser. I admit Spurs are awful and yet again I was convinced they would be good this year and suprise suprise-they are worse than ever.
I just hate being told st jokes. I find it stupid.
Ok?

You are talking a different language to me i'm afraid, football does not register as interesting.

Nope, hateful game, utterly hateful.

The only thing amusing connected with football that I've ever heard was a player who was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

When his club took to the field at an away game the home fans chanted 'Theres only two...'

Which did make me chortle, I have to admit.

But that's irrelevant.
The thread is about st jokes.
Coming onto a thread about rubbish gags and saying "I hate football so I don't understand the question" is frankly the actions of a lunatic.

The following amused me:
An serious article recently about fans shouting abuse had Arsene Wenger (Arsenal manager) saying he thought we should not tolerate abuse of any kind

serious article then said said:
Wenge has been a victim himself having regularly been accused by the fans of having a preference for youth

Great response.
If the thread title was "Do you like football or not?"
Except it wasnt.
So its not.

The Newcastle United Sitcom is hilarious.

Oh and the same jokes would be great to a Spurs fan if they were about Arsenal.

Ahr, but delve deeper, if I find football a waste of space just how much more of a waste of space would you imagine I find 99% of football based jokes?

But you didn't.
So it was wasted.

Jesus Christ.
Someone so bad at gags that they take them from Mclovin.
That has got to be the most frightening thing I have ever heard on the internet.
Wow

But appropriately, as a 'toon fan' you can't spell "being" "about" "anything" or "are" wink
