What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 20/21

[Japhet]

For me the hatred comes from seeing their violent and racist fans beating the fuck out fellow Spurs supporters after a game.

The hatred for Arsenal comes from them moving from Woolwich into our patch in North London and then having us relegated so they could have a place in the First Division. Add to that decades of piss taking over that and our relative failures plus them generally being a bunch of muggy arseholes...................well, you get the picture. Chelsea were a complete irrelevance until Abramovich took over and started buying trophies for them.

there has been a hatred a lot longer than that, they definitely kicked up a storm before we relegated them 74/75

Seems they had more respect towards us after the game. Before it was they’d expected a win because they are better than us and we’re not so good etc but after there’s grudging respect, we’re called decent and a point is a good result for them.

Is this more of your ITK?

I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks..

Actually, I hated Chelsea far, far more pre Abramovich. Partly because they still beat us most games even then; partly because of the preponderance of vile and violent, anti-Semitic fans; and partly because, for their part, they hated us far more back then (their success has since taken the edge off the rivalry for them).

After Abramovich, I no longer cared about them. Genuinely. Whatever they did or won felt meaningless. The club as a whole became meaningless. I was numbed to them. It’s undoubtedly a coping mechanism, of course. But the brilliant thing is that it’s not forced. I didn’t have to try to stop caring about them. It just happened.

Just as well for my peace of mind, really.

Bet more Spurs fans hate Chelsea than they do Arsenal.

We only hate Arsenal because of who and where they are but we hate Chelsea because of what they are and it's their fans that are the cause of that.

Arsenal are like the ex-wife.....you hate them with all your might, but you really don't want anything too bad to happen to them as it might affect the kids (and you do get the odd one for old times sake).

Chelsea are like the dodgy neighbour that you despise as they ran over the dog and look at the kids "the wrong way", and you really wouldn't be too bothered if they disappeared into the rancid depths of hell and surely wouldn't be remembered after a few months.

Someone actually posts what opponents' fans are saying and it circles right back to how much we all hate our rivals. People always gotta get the last word in...

We're top of the table, I'd actually be interested in what our opponents' fans are saying.

From Chelsea forum:

100 % sure they hate us the most. We're vile, we're nazi and we're ugly.

But Arsenal are ugly too, and they killed their parrot.

Yeah, Arsenal every day of the week.

You guys are utterly deluded. Who gives a flying fuck about a parrot a hundred years ago, when we had John Terry less than ten years ago?

It's not just the parrot, it's also that Campbell thing.

We should buy Hate. Time to open the cheque book, Roman.

I do not understand other fans thinking City and Chelsea "battered" us. They both played right into Jose's hands. City went perfectly and Chelsea we missed our few chances we created due to bad passing/decision making in the final third. But in terms of us defending vs their attacking, both games went exactly as Jose would have wanted. Chelsea's best chances were a shot from distance by Mount (not a good chance) and the mistake by Rodon that Hugo saved (good chance created by our error) they did not create anything.

The City game I cannot think of any good chances? Teams will look at stats and think they controlled the game but this is how Jose has always liked it and how we get results.

Tammy Abraham could have had 2 headers off great crosses by Reece James put on a plate for him but he bungled it. Those were their 2 best opportunities all game until Rodon almost shipped them a winner in stoppage time

People not got a very good sense of history here, yeah the whole woolwich arsenal thing did create resentment but people had bigger things to worry about back in those days, and most of the current rivalry is due to post second world war culture.

Spurs became a big club in the 1960s, won the double in 1961, first club to do it that century (pretty remarkable considering how common it became today). The Chelsea rivalry began with Jimmy Greaves transfer in 1960s, and the first ever FA CUP FINAL London derby in 1967 (which we won). But Chelsea were a bit rubbish generally in that era, Arsenal however managed to repeat our double winning success in 1971, and won the League in a game at White Hart Lane - the London sides were natural rivals, and this era stoked it up. Both sides declined in the 1970s but arrival of football hooliganism hugely magnified rivalries to stupid levels. Anyone who went to a North London School in that era knows of countless fights with rival fans just in the playground areas, really stupid stuff.

After UEFA ban post-heysel (Liverpool Juventus European Final), tragic fires here in UK and of course Hillsborough much of that stuff calmed down and went away.

BBC played Pavarotti theme for 1990s World Cup, England reached semi-final, Gazza cried and the middle-classes took over football. Premier League was born shortly afterwards, terraces were banned and you couldn't get into a ground for a few quid at the turnstiles ever again.

Social media has reignited some of the nonsense but generally most sensible people just want to see a good match on Sunday, with Spurs winning deservedly.
