If you pick the 2nd option, you have a twisted outlook on life. You're pretty much saying you derive more pleasure from other people's pain then pleasure from your own success, or in this case your own team's success.
How about these scenarios...
b) Arsenal become our 6 point team for 3 seasons, failing to score in that time and never conceding less than 2. We still qualify for UEFA each season, missing out on the CL, but Arsenal never manage to finish above us.
Repped for easily the best post in the thread. And the bravest. :clap:
I've managed to support Spurs for years without hating anyone, and in any given match I want the result to be the best one for Spurs, regardless of who's playing. Tribalism is inherent in us all, but it's overrated.
In fact I think we should form a group of people who aren't at all tribal, then we can gang up on those who are. I hate them so mu.. no, wait ...
Who is the most hated team in London
I'm a bit fed up of hearing about how much people hate Arsenal. Why do you take it so seriously, and why do you seem to take it so bloody pesonally? We didn't go to war with them, we weren't enslaved by them.
but how could anyone hate us ??...with our traditions of nice attacking football and our nice white kit! ;-)
I unreservedly would prefer the option that sees Arsenal relegated. I think your choice probably depends on your life experience. Having lived for 4 years in Holloway Road - the heart of Gooner territory - and then run a pub in a 50/50 mixed area for a further 5 years I have suffered the Gooner smugness to such an extent that their relegation is paramount even if only to stop their cheating boasts about not ever having played at a level below the top league. Corrupt lying cheating scumbags. On a side note, when driving around the Holloway Road area, don't forget to shout "Child Abuse!" out the window when passing a Gooner family in full uniform - that's great sport and always gave me a warm and comforting glow of pure enjoyment.
