The Official Tottenham Hotspud thread [Vol 12]
Discussion
Finally gave in and decided to buy me and eldest membership to give us a chance of getting tickets to the odd game. Website just comes up with "Internal server error" when checking out. Rang the online service which redirects me to Ticketmaster with an out sourced foreign call centre, after 20 minutes on the phone explaining which club I was calling about and what membership I wanted I was actually asked to give them my password for the Spurs login.
Gave up, can't find anybody to call for website issues, guess I'll just sit tight and see if it gets sorted. <frustrated>

why not rise above it and not bother? Its pretty bloody dull and just provokes pointless arguments rather than an interesting chat
It's football, you have banter with oppisiton teams, why does it just have to be sensible chat, its nothing harmless and we get it as much as we give. I could not imagine a day fans of teams try rib other fans of other teams, it's part of the game.
Some people are just to serious and take it to heart or some are just to serious they don't engage in any football banter..
Smarty gave his opinion on our midfield, it was his honest opinion in reality, we knew it was a s
t one so replied on his thread with some harmless replies. Dont think there is bad trolling going on just a response to some bad opinions (poss trolling from smarty in our thread)

I am very chilled thanks
Some people seem to exist on here to just cause arguments though - it never ends in anything amusing or enjoyable - taking the piss should be a laugh
I don't get it
Its the same 4 or 5 who think they are "hilarious" as wellSome people seem to exist on here to just cause arguments though - it never ends in anything amusing or enjoyable - taking the piss should be a laugh
I don't get it
You can occasionally have a decent chat about the game post match and a day or 2 after that, after that the circle jerk just starts again until the next game, shame really but its not going to change
There are certain posters who spend so much time on here in pointless arguments I wonder how little other stuff they have going on in their lives, bit sad really
Everyone is different,
Most and I say most is a bit of harmless fun, mickey taking which every single big team gets , we used to get it daily and I cant say I got to worked up about it or tried to call a truce - its expected , your team is doing st and another team is doing better you get a bit of football micky taking, why people get so worked up over someone doing it is beyond me... if you dont like a certain poster why read it, just skip by them, were not friends its easy to ignore someone on the interweb
You wil never get a day the football fans dont try take the piss out of a another team when its not going well... they just have to expect it back when inevitability their team go through a similar patch. If I could be arsed to go back 2 years on our thread I could pull up loads.
There has not been bad wumming on spurs or united thread for few weeks now even after UTDs shocker to Palace and Spurs to Newcastle
What was said in the Spurs thread was piss take to Smarty saying a team that got 97 points, lost 1 and won the european cup had 0 MIDFIELD, not to mention no middle forward. (on the lfc thread)
No one cried wolf, people just replied to him and took the piss when they lost the next game at home (where he said they have needed to play) against a relegation team in newcastle

Perhaps the site is busy at the moment try later. Its fairly straightforward to join up, although it does become messy when you apply for tickets.
Group A: PSG, Real Madrid, Club Brugge, Galatasaray
Group B: Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Red Star Belgrade, Olympiacos
Group C: Manchester City, Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb, Atalanta
Group D: Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Lokomotiv Moscow
Group E: Liverpool, Napoli, RB Salzburg, Genk
Group F: Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, Slavia Prague
Group G: Zenit St Petersburg, Benfica, Lyon RB, Leipzig
Group H: Chelsea, Ajax, Valencia, Lille
D and F look quite tasty. G and H will also be quite interesting as I'd say all the clubs in each group are at a similar sort of level so should be quite close.

The Times said:
There Has Never Been a Better Time to Be an Away Fan - Especially at Tottenham
The average police horse is 16 hands, standing just over five foot tall at its wither (the ridge between the shoulder blades), and, perhaps, more pertinently for this particular story, weighs about 500 kilograms.
It was outside of the away end at Villa Park in October 1994 that I saw a fully shod (most likely with steel) police horse stand on the foot of a Newcastle supporter. Fashions may change for the young man in England, but the desire to wear trainers at football matches does not. It was a moment for firmer footwear.
There was a cry of agony as that young fan buckled to the pavement. He looked close to being hospitalised, a point being made by his friend when the officer on the horse leant down to address the situation.
“Tough,” he said. “Now move.” They did.
In 1987 Newcastle were away in a fifth-round FA Cup tie in London. Then, as now, Cup runs were rare for the people of Tyneside, so about 12,000 supporters travelled south. The caged pens of the Park End behind the goal at White Hart Lane filled up so excessively that day fans were forced to climb the fences to escape the crushes. Video footage still exists showing desperate supporters fleeing a dangerously full terrace. The Hillsborough disaster would follow, 26 months later.
Two friends were in the West Stand that day, among home supporters, and, watching those scenes with growing unease, when one turned to a steward and asked if they also were alarmed at what was happening.
“Just be thankful you’re not in there,” came the reply. “Because you should be.”
There is much to admire about what Tottenham Hotspur have built to replace White Hart Lane, and most of it centres on size. The new stadium has a huge feel to it, its presence overwhelms, glorious curves weave around the arena, the cockerel leaning boldly from the top of the South Stand is such a clever touch. It has a majesty that is breathtaking. Somehow it has retained a feel of White Hart Lane — the seat colour perhaps or maybe the layout of the main stand, with executive boxes in its centre — but it is not just the sheer enormity of the project that impresses.
It is the attention to detail, the tiny things too. The civil, polite nature of every single steward outside the ground, the amicable conversation of those watching as tickets are scanned to get into the stadium, the huge 12 foot posters of the Newcastle United club crest, framed in black and white stripes, and the words, “Welcome Newcastle United, thank you for travelling 282 miles to be here.”
These are as much a part of the day as the gold cockerel. The welcome inside that stadium, inside that away end, for those from Tyneside, some who had travelled even further than the 282 miles to get there, felt almost northern.
There is an airy feel to the concourse for those visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. On the hottest day many could remember a football game taking place on in England, and in the hottest corner of the stadium, there were free water taps running, to the side of the giant screens that had shown England’s dramatic victory against Australia in the Ashes Test. That had been watched and cheered vociferously.
Tickets at £30 for adults and £17 for children (thanks to the endless work of the Football Supporters’ Federation) felt reasonable. Tottenham’s pricing of £4 for a pint of Amstel was cheaper than the pubs outside the ground.
Those staff inside the away end had white polo shirts with the Newcastle United club crest on them; little things making a big difference.
There are times you miss the way football was, the terraces and the tribalism, the historic old grounds and men in short shorts booting each other all over the pitch.
But Sunday wasn’t one of them. Sunday felt a vision of the future, with Tottenham very much leading the way.
