What it really means to support Spurs

[General Levy]

What it means to be a Spurs fan ?

It means remembering 60,000 people crammed into the Lane most Saturdays during the double season. It means having your entire belief about how Tottenham should play based on Danny Blanchflower's vision of 'the glory game'. It's about the sheer pleasure of watching players like Greaves, Hoddle and Gascoigne - and others - who were just so fucking good it made you proud and happy they played for us. It's about wanting to weep with sheer frustration at years of mediocrity when we just pissed away the legacy of the sixties. It's about the mad optimism of believing each season is going to be the season, when you know in your heart that it isn't. (Except this season, when it will be). It's about hating Arsenal.

That - in short - is what it means to be a Spurs fan.

Have some rep grandad.

Have some rep grandad.

Trouble is...you look at some of the posters here and think - Jeez, they're young enough to be my grandkids. Then you wonder how many of them actually might be...

I can't remember the sixties. But I was there.

To me being a Spurs supporter includes:

Knowing we are the best fans bar none
Being FIERCELY proud of our history and footballing traditions
Unrivalled optimism (unfortunately sometimes to the point of delusion)
Thick skin - couldn't give a fuck about our disappointments and anyone elses clubs achievements
The ability to pick yourself up - again and again
Having a twitchier ringpiece than a visitor to Barrymore's
Screaming til your throat bleeds

and occasionaly:

The ability to cope with MASSIVE hangovers
Being so happy I could punch myself in the bollocks and not care
An ego the size of another planet when we win a cup

supporting spurs for me means a lot of cardiac arithmias (sp?)
