Our home crowd is fairly shocking tbh, just look at how good the CP fans were, we used to be like that.

Yeah. Then we stopped being shit and redundant. Happens to a lot of clubs that. A real shame. Success on the pitch, bang-average atmosphere, unless generic chants sung sporadically throughout the game count.

That all seemed a bit fake to me. They've been hanging out with Italian ultras too much (and that's actually true).

Let the games begin? Fuck right off

A decent football side brings a sense of entitlement.

One of the best atmospheres i can remember of the recent years was 2-0 down against sevilla.

actually that wasnt very recent.

It's usually an attempt to get the Park Lane first number of rows to stand up after the stewards have spent 10 minutes getting everyone to sit down.

More often than not it's purely out of slapstick - causing the stewards to give up.

I find it really hard to remain seated when the 'stand up' chant starts but I agree it's shit.

To be fair the only chant I hear watching Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham games is "Stand up if you hate Tottenham".

I bet we'll be hearing that at Anfield soon, too.

So two ringing renditions of Stand Up If You Hate Arsenal already. No wonder they dont sing at the Emptycrates, we do it for them - we sing about them more than our own team.

Can somebody tell me what this chant achieves exactly, other than show how obsessed by our inferiority complex we are? It makes me cringe.

How about we sing about Spurs?

It drives me mad, there are a few near me who never stop singing it, sad people.

Well it would make far more sense if they sung " stand up if you love tottenham", i suppose that would take a brain though.

Been banging on about this for years.

Makes us look so small time.

Also can we fucking use a different format for the song for our new players aside from the 'Insert Players name' Woahhhh he comes from 'Insert location' to play at/for 'Insert Tottenham related phrase'

We come up with good chants then they get ignored.

Heard this one on the fighting cock podcast, its similar to the one already sung, but I think its better because it's more original.

To the tune of 'I am the music man'

Heee came from sunny Spain, to play at White Hart Lane
What is his name! What is his name!
Robby Robby Soldado, Soldado Soldado
Robby Robby Soldado
Robby Soldado!

I suppose you could change 'Robby' to 'Bobby' depending on what we actually go with as a nickname.

Agreed but we just went for the cop out generic, safe option zzzzz

Was about to post this. You don't hear it at games like on Sunday when we can stand up the whole game. Tonight, they were getting everyone to sit down at any opportunity. You also get 'Stand up if you love Tottenham'.

There was some twat in the Park Lane who got kicked out after 10 minutes for not sitting down. He did get warned and just gave a gob full, why bother going? You know they will kick you out!! He was warned a few times.

They did sing that first. Usually do?

Yes, I can confirm it was chanted tonight.

Jesus, us loyal Spurs supporters and we come to every game get slagged off for the shit atmosphere at The Lane and get slagged off for this particular chant.

For the record I don't like the chant, but I like less being ordered to sit down with threats of losing my season ticket if I don't, so I join in, though never start.

Besides, it's very difficult to get any sort of atmosphere going when you ate 5-0 + up against a pub side. I tried to get "He's only four" going tonight, you know, just for a bit of fun. No takers at all.
