What kind of Spurs fan are you...?

[IGSpur]

I notice the media are now talking about the top six.

It may be because the Bindippers are sixth or it may be because there is now an actual top six who also all qualify for Europe.

No it's down to Liverpool as last year they were talking about a top 5, and all the transfer articles were the top 5. Now they we finished above them...again, and they don't want to leave Pool out of all the talk they feel they have to now extend it to top 6

You ever go for a job interview where you're pretty sure that they've made some sort of adminstartion error and you've accidentally been chosen as a possible candidate. You spruce yourself up in the morning, have a shave, polish your shoes and trot along to the interview equal parts giddish nerves and trepidation and then, having sat down at the table facing three stoney faced interview panalists realise that you're completely out of your depth and more than likely going to acheive nothing more than making a dreadful cock of yourself once you open your mouth and spurt out incoherent nonsense.

And once the interview has ended and you have indeed illustrated without any degree of uncertainty that you were quite clearly not the right guy for the job, what with your possible brain damage, you take stock and realise it was a silly thing for those daft few moments to even contemplate that you stood a chance of landing that job in the first place so finally you relax, snug again once more in your comfort blanket of distinct mediocracy - that's the sort of Spurs fan I am.

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

I dont think im any of them. I want us to be successful. Dont like the current ownership. Dont like our transfer strategies. Want someone else in asap.

You're a Spurs fan?????

 

[Good Doctor M]

You're a Spurs fan?????

He must be new. He's got the "hope". As a doctor I prescribe another three seaons of missing out on fourth place by a single digit points total, two more heartbreaking transfers to Madrid of key players and one more Europa League last 16 exit and he'll be right as rain.

It's emotional..

Smiles & frowns..

Love & hate..

All of the above and so so so much more..

Love it

 

[sloth]

All of the above.

I'd have put money on you being four!

 

[Jamturk]

Apathetic

 

[cliff jones]

in my youth infatuated by glenn and co, then in total despair under sugar i only went to get him out,under enic we will go no further even when we get somewhere more comfy to sit the prices will be skyhigher and we will still be 5th or quie possibly lower. ive thereby become an armchair palin, or maybe meldrew simply dreaming that the kids will come good and the bad guys wont come and steal them all.

 

[thinktank]

Generally positive.

 

[gilzeantheking]

Been doing this too long and have got too used to the trials and tribulations of being a Spurs supporter to let it bother me that much anymore.

As far as transfers go we get who we are given, and no amount of gnashing of teeth and wailing will do anything to alter it.

I still want us to win every game and get the hump when we lose but get over it very quickly these days.

I'm just getting old I guess.

 

[TheChosenOne]

I think I'm all four of those options at various times.

Generally I've come to accept that unless we get bought by a free-spending billionaire we'll just be making up the numbers. Occasionally I get my hopes up that we might actually have a chance of achieving something meaningful, only for reality to rear its ugly head again.

In all honesty I actually think I was a happier supporter in the Jol years when we were striving to establish ourselves as the 'best of the rest', which was both achievable and eventually achieved. Reaching our glass ceiling has left me a bit disillusioned by it all.

If I had a crystal ball and could see that the best we'd achieve over the next 20 years would be 5th and maybe one cup, I'd probably lose a lot of interest in football (I'd still support Spurs). On the other hand, if we slipped back to mid-table mediocrity then started to improve, my enthusiasm would go up again.

I guess I'm the kind of Spurs fan that wants us to be successful. In 25 years of supporting Spurs I've seen us win one FA cup and two league cups. I should try to be less frustrated, and more accepting of the fact that we're really not that big a team, and probably never will be in my lifetime.[/QUOTE]


We I am one of the tribal elders, my win/watch list is a bit better ..

1967 FA cup. TV
1971 League Cup +24hrs. TV
1972 UEFA cup 2 legs .. Attended
1973 League Cup .. Attended
1981 FA cup + replay .. Attended

1984 UEFA final. Away tie.Attended
1984 UEFA final. Home tie. TV

+ Many other semis, finals and heights and heartbreaks home away or in Europe.

I'm waiting for another coming. None more patch of greatness.

I'd sell my soul to the Devil to see more greatness, but it was previously sold in 2006 when
I wanted to get out of the QE2 hospital alive after various operations on my feeble body.

 

[Spurslove]

Stay positive...in the grand scheme of things and all that.

Naah, bollocks to that idea

 

[Led's Zeppelin]

I can't complete the poll.

There's no **** option.

 

[PLTuck]

I'm very C'est la Vie about Spurs and football in general these days. Of course I want us to do well but when we don't it's not the end of the world like it used to be. There's too many more important things in life like love and family to get overly stressed about it all.

Strangely (or maybe not), I find it much more enjoyable these days.

Im a Spurs fan, my father was a Spurs fan, his father was a Spurs fan

My father was a Leeds fan, his father was a Leeds fan.....

I used to care more about Football, I still love Tottenham and watch our games but I don't watch other teams anymore, I can barely watch England games (but then part of that is the shower of shite we've been served up for a while and Woys penchant for a host of mediocre liverpool players and rooney and townsend. I used to travel abroad with England a fair bit but frankly I wouldn't cross the road to watch a game now.

I don't get to see Spurs as much as I'd like as family commitments are as they are but I will definitely endeavour to take my kids to a game a t white hart lane this year even if they are too young to appreciate it.

For the first time ever this year when faced with the choice of watching England play a 6 nations game or watch spurs live and record the other I chose the Rugby. Just a bit disenfranchised with football at the minute. I don't think it's spurs, I just don't think it means anything if Chelsea or City win the league as things stand. I hope we get there and continue to do things (as I see them) the right way but if we don't then so be it. I've been a spurs fan for 30 years so I'm used to underachievement and disappointment but I love the club for it.

 

[npearl4spurs]

One that enjoys watching Spurs play! the transfer windows can go piss off

 

[Grey Fox]

Frustrated although I think I have mellowed in the 50 years of support. Time is running out for the likes of me for the new stadium and winning the league, but I would love us to win a few more cups before I step off this mortal world.

In short I am as frustrated with football in general as I am with Spurs, Sky have ruined the game I loved.

Ps I had the misfortune to meet and talk with Alan Smith 8n holiday a couple of years ago and even then he was insisting that Sky were referring to the top six and not top 4

 

[pook]

massive, massive pessimist. not because it reflects my true beliefs or emotions, but purely as a defense mechanism. expect the worst, minimize disappointment. and occasionally life gives you a treat.

I never ever allow myself to believe it's in the bag. it's a recipe for certain disaster. last time I articulated genuine confidence going into a Spurs match was away to Grimsby in the League Cup. I put on a brave face before the FA cup semi v pompey, a few years later, but even that was too much. no expectations, whatsoever. genuine, miserable, wretched pessimism for me.

Oh... those 62% were serious, were they?
