What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 21/22

[topper]

I hope he scores a 98th minute winner and runs up and lifts his Tottenham shirt to show them an Everton one underneath just to shithouse them more

Even better if it simply had a Coach printed on a t-shirt

 

[Graham Minshall]

yup, even his mum thinks he's shit.

Yes that because his mum didn’t know she was pregnant and thought it was a turd coming out…….she wasn’t wrong ?

I think Kane just generally has a reputation among opposition fans for being dirty after backing into defenders under Jose, but tbh it's all massively blown out of proportion because he's such a high profile player and opposition fans want reasons to dislike him. He dives a bit, but not even remotely as often (or successfully) as Salah.

As for Son, all I can think of is when someone kicked the ball at him softly and he went down. That was a bit embarrassing on Son's part, but again he's not a cynical player at all and I can't remember him ever winning a pen by diving in the box off the top of my head.

I think they don't like that they're both viewed as squeaky clean in the media and score goals against them.

I think Kane goes over very easily in open play and wins a lot of debatable free kicks, but we don't repeatedly get given soft (often non existent) penalties like they've been given for the past few years. They can hardly accuse anyone of diving when they've had Salah doing Swan Lake routines since the day he arrived.

Yeah that's a fair point - he's a master at putting his body between himself and the man and then going down to win free kicks high up the pitch. To me that's the art of being a good hold-up player, though, and there are tons of top players that do exactly the same that I wouldn't call 'divers'.

I guess that kind of thing might annoy opposition fans, but it feels very different to the way Salah falls down like he's been shot in the box and wins a bunch of pens every season.

Maybe I'm just biased, though.

We seem to have reached this weird situation where what is deemed a foul is completely different depending on whether it's inside or outside the penalty area. All this nonsense about 'there was contact so it's a pen' has been winding me up for years. Penalties should be given for fouls, end of, imo, not because an opponent touched your arm, and that stuff is never given on set plays either, but frequently given in open play.

 

[Marty]

They're bitter AF towards us after we cost them the title last season.

Really hope Richarlison scores against them next season and then does a pigeon dance in front of the Kop.

I hope he dons a bus driver hi-vis vest for the occasion.

 

[SuperSpurs69]

A goon mate of mine is adamant that Ramsdale is a better GK than Lloris and that Xhaka is ahead of Bentancur every day of the week. Literally no point trying to argue with him about anything

My reply would be:

Yeah they chat some proper shit.

This one thinks Kulu hasn't shown enough to be a starter, despite literally breaking the PL record for most assists in his first 10 games and scoring 5 goals. WTF else did he need to do?!

A lot of them also haven't realised how good Romero is yet (there's usually a year or two hype lag for non-flashy players). They'll figure that one out once Fifa give him a good rating.

A lot of these comments are made by kids, and this is the crux of the matter.

Kids tend to be more tech savvy and have Google which is just a click away yet they are too fucking lazy to check facts. They also believe that their Tweets / postings on media platforms will be taken as read and not fact checked.

If and whenever I get blocked on Twitter, ninety-nine percent of the time it's when a rival fan (from any club) is proven wrong and made to look fucking stupid. Rather than seeing another point of view however true that be, most of them stay in denial and block when their argument is lost.

I fucking love it.

I must have blocked around a hundred Arsenal ‘fans’ today on the official TH site.
Mostly African with poor English and spouting pure shite. No I ain’t racist but those fuckers really do me head in.

I'm cracking up thinking about this

We're going to be a proper surprise to a lot of these opposition fans come next season. They think they're being real generous to us by saying we got a shout for 3rd. Fuck off we're aiming for the very top.

As much as I love the idea, we are not finishing above City.

it's unlikely, but i wouldnt 100% rule it out. Haaland has a horrible injury record, he might find the premier league's harder to physically dominate and disrupt City's playstyle much like Lukaku threw off Chelsea's.

Walker who is the key to city's defense was starting to breakdown at the end of last season. He isn't getting any younger and Kyle's so reliant upon pace that a moderate drop in his speed could leave City's high defensively line massively exposed to counter attacks.

and one bad tackle to de bruyne's ankles/ potential burnout from maintaining an absurdly high level for a five seasons might just give us the opening we need.

Crazier things have happened.

I admire your optimism, but I think in order to win the league will require dropping so few points. I think City will be better this time around than they were last year. I think we will do better too, but not that well to win the league.
