Sitting near a numpty

[Lilbaz]

I hate being at a game where veryone sits around me silently, when a song starts I start trying to sing and not one person around joins so I end up having to stop but you can bet they will groan and moan.

Just Thursday some old guy provided a running commentary. Couple of gems. Dier went down injured " get Bentaleb on the pitch manger what are you doing? Take of Dier bring on Bentaleb" Bentaleb comes on "Bloody hell, what's Bentaleb doing on the pitch, whose idea was it to bring him on"

"well played Oo-new-mah I've always rated him good player. Oo-new-mah what are you doing, you're being too casual"

Also at Asteras match last season I spent most of the evenining sitting in front of some guys slagging lof "Lamla" " I can do that for £30m" bla bla bla. Lamela pops in the rabona, I stood up and turned round and started cheering in their face. Was probably being a bit of a tool myself there but god they deserved it

Do you think freddy mercury was afraid to sing alone?
Next time you are at spurs think of freddy's aids ravaged dead body and sing your heart out!

Went to the game last night with my brother and his 3 kids. Sat in the Paxton Upper and we had 3 lads sat right behind us. One of them literally didn't shut up for the whole 90 minutes. It was like the worst running commentary at way too high a volume you've ever heard in your life! He thought he was funny and if only he had been it would have been bearable. I'm the last person for a confrontation but I was so close to turning around and telling him to shut the fuck up! I know he was just a cocky little shite but if I still had a season ticket and was near him every week I'd have to say something. Anyone had to actually say something?

Sounds like it could have been me and the boys. I didn't shut up all match that's for sure. The people near me sat in silence all match, I can see how I'd get annoying after a while. Then again, it may have been another happy soul

Feels a bit weird singing alone. Get strange looks. Tbf the only other person I have witnessed singing loud and by himself clearly had some mental health issues. The guy was going nuts the whole game and when we scored, think it was Anderlecht at home this season he celebrated like we won the thing, which was god to see but I think he left before their equaliser and I know because we were all worried how he might react he we'd concede.

Don't have to go to the match for all this.



Just join in the match-day thread.

I'm sure a lot of these posters are actually at the game and posting their comments at the same time as shouting it out at the match.

 

[Wellspurs]

I'd love to sit next to BC so I would know instantly not only if we won but more importantly whether we deserved to.

 

[Goldman]

So is moaning about people moaning justified then

At least my moaning does not hurt anyone's ears!

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

Sing.

This is good noise.

I've heard all kinds before. One guy who always shouted "away!" anytime the ball came near our area. It actually seems like every team has one of those though. This prick was almost doing a radio commentary but one where you get half the names wrong and have zero idea what the fuck you're on about.

You can hear this numpty on TV still. The players must really laugh at him

I doubt it. I think you'd get a better phone signal on the moon than at WHL

The way that you moan on here Matthew, I can only imagine you are a bundle of laughs to sit next to at a match! ;-)

So can you please explain all the diatribe that I read on the match-day thread.
Do they watch streams and comment on what they see on that little screen on their computers?
I thought they must at least be at the game, how can they judge what's happening and make the comments I read???

Phone signal is shocking at WHL. I might be lucky and get a data signal during the match but around half time and full time it's never going to happen. With my paid streaming site I get to watch every Spurs game in HD which if I'm honest hasn't helped my attendance at WHL in the last couple of years.

Do you seriously need to ask that?

Of course they fucking are
I'd bet some are even following bbc live text and making comments on that.

I remember when I used to work at Spurs on turnstile I got to sit in south lower for second half against Southampton.

We had Iversen and Armstrong up top and time and Armstrong had been giving a torrid time by supporters and was no longer celebrating his goals, which was sad :-(

Anywhoo he'd been being heckled by supporters around me when we suddenly started thrashing Southampton with Iversen getting a hat trick and Armstrong a double.

Then all I could hear was them taking the Micky saying Armstrong would have scored that, Armstrong would have got that etc for rest of game, was quite amusing and shows the humour side of supporters even willing take Micky out of themselves

It's Hugo shouting it these days
Always does when the ball comes into our box

 

[CarrickSpurgus]

The guy behind my lad and me on Thursday night kept commenting that Alli was "playing shit tonight" then when Alli actually entered the field of play ,couldn't work out who he'd been slagging off for most of the game
"He must be Alli's twin bruvva " he said over and over again.It was Bentaleb BTW.
O and every time the shelf side sang their shelf side song he joined in just to let us all know that he should be sitting over with them.

You may all think you've had bad experiences but consider this...

I had to sit next to @Stoof for three seasons!

You are right...how did Stoof put up with this, he should have been given a knighthood

Just to change the tone slightly, at one game I sat next to a couple of Irish lads who'd come over for the game.
They were lovely blokes, we had a right laugh and it was probably one of the best games I've been to.
I can't even remember the opposition or the score but remember the people I was sat with.
It's not all bad.

I've sat next to some neutrals in the past and they're generally nice chaps. I think you'd have to be to go to a match involving two teams you don't support.
