Not being allowed to celebrate anything anymore. Seen people hate on Everton last night. They needed a win to secure survival and they did it after being 0-2 down at half-time. If that isn't reason to celebrate then what's the point in sport?

The toxic cess-pit of social media at it again.

Agreed. It's why I don't buy into the "spurs need to win something" bollocks because no matter what we win it won't be enough.

I've had this feeling for a while now. Whatever trophy we manage to win it'll be 'Only one trophy in so many years' from the mouths of others.

There's always going to be people like that. There will be others who will see that with the new stadium that we're not the team that we were before. Ultimately it's up to us to start winning things regularly and prove them wrong.

Having the last day of the season on a Sunday instead of a Saturday really annoys me.

...plus the fact not all games are being televised live because SKY only bought 128 live matches and they've run out of games (125), with only three left! How the fuck did they manage to do that!!

And where is BT Sport?

:poop:

I don't think the channels like same comp games at the same time as each other. Must be some sort of weird agreement between the two. Final day should be Prime, they have already shown the capability of multiple matches at once on a stremaing like platform.

Lately we've seen more and more flares being let off inside the grounds, and this really pisses me off.

When you go into a ground these days, you're searched. Any bottles you've got must have the tops removed for some bizarre reason, but it seems if you've got some flares with you, that's perfectly OK. Maybe they should start selling flares inside the grounds now.

WTF is going on out there FFS?

Apparently they take the tops off so you can’t throw them as far-that’s what I was told at the old lane when they confiscated my 8 year old daughters Fanta lid!!

I’m sure this has already been on here but all the “…….. can I have your shirt” signs that kids have at the matches. Its ridiculous now, if you’re anywhere near the front your get all these kids swarming down for the last 5 minutes of any match and as a grumpy middle aged man it is properly grinding my gears now.

There was a spate of kids running on the pitch to badger players for their shirts too. Little fuckers.

I can get in board with kids moving down to the front to get shirts at the end of a game. It's the pitch invading, probably encouraged by their idiot parents, that absolutely fucks me off.

Players on £50k a week or more that say they don’t know the hand ball rule. It’s kind of like your job mate. Read the rules or ask someone to explain it to you if you’re really that thick.
