I had a Portsmouth fan (yes you read it right) having a pop today about our Wembley record. I told him Harry's got your money and your bell ringer is a peado. No answer as yet.
Maybe he's the bell ringer?

"White Hart Lane in the early 80s. We'd 7000 fans. There was a brave walk to the train, which that day took two hours. Police let our lot out in groups of 500 who were pulverised by the awaiting cockney rebels. Soon enough the 7000 are out and fighting back. Apparently our fans had enough of some hot dog vendor who thought this was hilarious to see Scousers being torn apart so they threw his hot dog stand over him, boiling water and all. Apparently a lot of Spurs fans dispersed when one Scouser emerged from a shop where he was launched through a window and brandished a chainsaw!"
Why is Nasser Hussain standing behind John Arne Riise's Bicep?Apparently the film '300' was based loosley on the events of that fateful day.

This is all well and good. But what is Confucius saying about us?Interesting thread on RAWK on 'The Scariest Ground you've been to'. A fair range of answers, as you might expect, but a few notable mentions for White Hart Lane...
"Spurs on a night game was fairly unpleasant"
"Spurs was always moody because of the housing estate."
And then the stories start...
"Spurs midweek game. 15 of us. All lads I grew up with make our way back to Euston, the tube round the corner. Got back without any trouble, then as we turn onto Euston there's some waste land and it jumps up and runs at us.....****s had been lying down waiting for some Scousers to have off."

"Scariest, hairiest game I've ever been to was the Quarter final against Spurs at White Hart Lane, 1980...absolute fuckin nightmare running the gauntlet of The Seven Sisters road post-match.....Spurs were the only cockney team left in the cup so every fuckin loon in London turned up to give the Scousers a little bit o' knuckle - lads getting launched through shop windows ...police motorcycles and riders getting volleyed and careering into our escort - scattering lads into the fuckin air......bonehead British Movement apes with machetes tucked in their Donkey Jackets....bottles and bricks raining down on you from the multi-storeys that lined the road....got back to Euston and it was like Rourke's fuckin Drift...don't think anyone escaped unscathed."
Blimey.
Anyway, in case you think I'm glorifying this kind of thing, I'd like to point out that it wasn't all bad...
"I was bloody petrified going to Anfield once when I was 7 or 8 because my Dad had got some complimentary tickets that somehow ended up being in the away end. Fortunately we were playing Spurs, hammered them 6-2 and the fans around us knew we were Liverpool fans but they didn't care and were singing 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' by the end. Lovely people. I think I sat on my hands for every goal."
Although I think my favourite story was non-Spurs related
"Elland Road in the Shankly days. Picking me way back to station, no colours, no scarf etc. Got stoned by Leeds fans. Got out of that. Then immediately afterwards got stoned by Liverpool fans."
Though the funniest post of the thread award went to the guy who, in response to the 'Scariest ground you've been to' question, just posted the following two words...
"The Emirates".

It looks like the eagle is holding mistletoe over them and they're opening their mouths ready to get off with Klopp who is just out of shot. Nasser is just just watching in disbelief at what is about to unfold.
