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

[spurs mental]

True I had no interest in going to the Leeds game can’t wait now

Stadium should be absolutely pumping

 

[worcestersauce]

To be fair it was pretty mixed on Arsenal Mania. About half were saying they lacked ambition and should have sacked Arteta for Tuchel and Conte, the other half saying they are happy with him.

After the shock of the first three games I think they'd settled themselves down to a kind of equilibrium where they could exist with their lot as long as Spurs were worse.

I’m not sure, classic case of very good first eleven. They’ve had their fair share of luck with injuries and suspensions- there’s only so much lucky heather in the world.

True post Christmas usually sees injuries impacting but he still builds teams that will finish there. He’s a good fit for spam

From page 16 of their No more Nuno thread (there's 18 pages!):

-He went into an already very strong but underperforming Chelsea squad (they won the title twelve months before he arrived) and was able to buy Kante straight away (who had just won Leicester the league).

He also went into Inter at a time when they were a well established part of the top four in Italy and was able to bring in the likes of Lukaku, Sanchez and Eriksen who were all massive players for the standard of that league at the time.

It remains to be seen what kind of a tune he can get out of this current Spurs squad, to me their best XI looks short of even top six as it stands. They have a decent front three to work with (if Kane can be bothered), but not a lot else if truth be told.

-Thinking this is the best way to see it. Conte has joined a club with a mediocre first XI and huge amounts of debt, whilst Ole is still aimlessly drunk at the wheel at United.

Best case scenario for us.

-Have they paid back the government £175 m low cost loan from last year?

-My spurs mate has surfaced. He reckons Conte must have been promised a big war chest otherwise he wouldn't have signed. He is also convinced that Conte will get the team performing and that once Kane is getting better service he will start scoring again and will be happy.
Top

-From dismay to joy in around 36 hours - that’s my spurs friends. The transfer funds in January must largely be the income from the Kane sale.
Until Jan I’m not convinced Conti will be able get much improvement out of the current spurs squad, Kane not wanting to be there will still linger and disrupt things*
*At least that’s what I’m hoping

-Spurs should be ashamed at the way they have treated Nuno. He had barely got his feet under the desk! It is the sort of thing you expected from basket case clubs like Perugia in the 90s.

-This thread is up to 16 pages, we need to be careful, they'll accuse us of being obsessed with them soon.

-Conte has such a good track record that he can afford to fail at Spurs and take the massive payoff. He will get another job in time for Christmas!

-Looking forward to seeing Conte getting them playing the Spurs way again. [laughing face]

-He is Mourinho mk2 ,another short term fix ,he never stays in a job for more than 2 years.

-Just bumped into a Spurs pal of mine that had come off all his Spurs WhatsApp groups at the weekend after the Man U game and had said he was done with football but now he fancies them again and wants to get tickets for the 1/4 final against us. And he reckons Conte will get Kane playing again and all clubs are in debt so Spurs are no different.

Oh the irony, if they took a look at what they were posting they would realise just how hypocritical they are being.
They claim we are obsessed with them and they claim that we have the most despised fanbase in the country because we are always getting ahead of ourselves and that we think we're a big club when we're not.

Let's have a look at these claims.
I have had a look at their Kumb forum and their posts about us getting rid of Nuno have reached close to 350 posts in less than 3 days and growing all of the time ! They even have a thread dedicated to his sacking. Honestly, would we have a thread dedicated to one single event such as the sacking of one of their manager ? Yes we have let's laugh at threads of clubs but that's general, not specific and over a long time, yet they claim we're obsessed with them !!!

Where is their proof that we are the most despised club and fanbase in the country ? It's true that we are universally disliked by many Arsenal Chelsea and West Ham fans, but come on, really ? How about the plastic fan bases of Man utd and Liverpool, new money clubs like Chelsea and Man City ....really ! If they realised that such a claim is solely based on how they and Chelsea and Arsenal feel about us collectively they'd realise straight away that such a claim was nonsense.

Then the claim that we like to get ahead of ourselves, they already have a thread on the Kumb website speculation on who is going to beat them to top 4. They've been in this place for 5 minutes relatively speaking and they're saying this already ! They also claim they are likely candidates to win the Europa League, yet we're the ones getting ahead of ourselves. If only they took a step back at what they were posting they'd see the irony staring straight back at them.......

What startles me is the number of people who write “amount” of people.

You pedant but I did watch it ?

You'd think people would let a certain amount of questionable grammar pass but no, the number of pedants always surprise me. I really wish there were fewer pedants and less pedantry.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Watched soccer Special on Sky last night. First off it’s truly unbelievable how low the IQ is of the majority of football pundits. Last night led by the great brain of Paul Merson then you had Glen Johnson and the little runt Lee Hendrie was one other forget who. Goodness me seems impossible for them to praise us in anyway. Were so dismissive and lots of sniggering especially from the runt Hendrie. How I will love if Conte rams it down their throats. It’s really quite incredible how few ex footballers have any even average level of intelligence. I guess a lot concentrate on football from an early age and don’t bother much with their education.

The other pundit was Darren Bent. I only watched for a few minutes to see what they were saying about Conte but Sky Sports really has gone to downhill in recent years, including Soccer Saturday which used to be a great watch but no banter is allowed now, and the studio is as dull and boring as the pundits. Ive found myself watching BT scores panel with Sutton and fuckin Savage and co on Saturdays now.

I almost agree with you. This error has crept into spoken and written English in the last few years and I don’t really understand why. Isn’t it nice to know the correct form?

Should that be "surprises"? ?

It should be "autocorrect"
But do you know why it should be surprises?

We're up there with the most despised clubs in the country, and I fucking love it.

as an engineer and an American, i have a special talent at butchering your language. I would surmise though that in this case, number is used as a singular.

Yes indeed and by the way, all the best people are engineers

Pretty much every single friend of mine is mocking the appointment, saying it’s a disaster, that levy can’t change, that it won’t last two months… etc

I like this. Makes me thing they are rattled.

The day I give a flying toss about what West Ham supporters think about anything, let alone us, is the day I will be giving myself a serious talking to. They're cretins.

Lack of education isn't the same as lack of intelligence. You can't educate stupid.

I caught some of it the other day and their guests/hosts or correspondents all seemed to be bloggers or wannabe social media influencers. There was very little insight or info at all, just banter, banter, baaaanter all the time. It was their early morning show, so maybe it improves, but I couldn't watch any more.

It's like the old saying "If only footballers were paid just for their brains..."

I reckon the vast majority of them are pretty thick and can barely hold a conversation.

No one beats Carlton Cole to the bottom of the IQ list - he is a dumb fuck. Really really fucking dumb.

Loads of others are dumb but he is actually the only one that makes me switch off or change the channel. Its agonising and painful listening to the fucker.

He makes Clinton Morrison and Lee Hendrie sound intelligent.
