What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 22/23

[Joe Bjorn Hotspur]

I wished that Chelsea fan had explained the reason to the other Chelsea fan why we have such a big rivalry with them, because I'm not sure myself is it because they're huge Nazis and we refer to ourselves as yids? Or we used to kick them up and down the kings road when hooliganism was a thing because apart from that I'm kinda struggling, they were nothing before the Russian
turned up, they've only recently took us over in trophies won ffs and we ain't won fuck all for best part of 20 years
I mean im all ears if anyone wants to educate me.
Seriously they were fuck all for years we'd take their best players whenever we wanted, they used to pull in 6000 fans when they were in the 2nd division.
they're like a further away version of West Ham

Spot on 100%. Like beating them but they do not come close to a rival like Arsenal.

That club is like that chav who won the lottery twice and spunked it away twice. Completely plastic and hope that yank bankrupts them to the Isthmian league.

A fairly solid prediction ?

According to a mate of mine who has ‘knowledge’ of these things it all goes back to the 1967 fa cup final when they got a bit ‘naughty’ so if true even the Chelsea fan who says it goes back 40 years doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about…….shock……

This is probably true. I went to the Chelsea v Spurs game in November 1970, age 9, with a crowd in that awful old Stamford Bridge ground of over 61000
It was a vile atmosphere with a heavy, threatening under current. I learnt a lot of new words that day. I was in the Chelsea end as my mates dad had taken us and they were all blues.
It pissed with rain, we were soaked, and we tried to leave at half time it was so bad. I then experienced one of the most terrifying crowd crushes ever, trying to get 1 adult and 3 kids out. I recall my friends dad saying we were going before "all the trouble started".
Of course, Spurs pulled off a fine 2nd half win with 2 goals, which I managed to miss

Theyre not the sad ones. The sad ones are the ones who sit there watching someone watching the game. The ones filming themselves are the clever ones - easy money. I mean youre gonna watch the game anyways, so may as well make money out of it.

I was at that game, I remember John Hollins and Alan Mullery coming on at half time and saying over the speakers, the ref wanted to call the game off, but if the supporters wanted to stay the players would come out in the second half. It was atrocious conditions and every 5 minutes there was a crush in the stands and supporters falling over, how no-one was seriously hurt I will never know.
2-0 win for us with 2 goals in injury time

I dislike the people that do these commentaries on games so much. They often remind me of younger versions of Alan Partridge.

It is basically true.

though it goes back slightly earlier than the cup final. During the season leading up to it, there were regular “meetings” between Tottenham and Chelsea…the Park Lane and the Shed at that point… often on weekday evenings anywhere from the Tottenham Royal to the Streatham Locarno, and many points between.

The antisemitism was extreme and wasn’t just a way to insult rival fans, it was a deeply held hatred that went far beyond football. I was proud to be opposed to it, even if in my case it did just take the form of juvenile football fights , nasty as some of them became.

Arsenal were a poor side at that point, Tottenham were unarguably the top dogs in London and along with Man Utd and the just-emerging Liverpool, the country’s glamour clubs, and Chelsea probably the next best London side and doing quite well with some high-profile players, so they attracted support from a lot of lads from south and west London so the natural polarisation for the time was us v them… Arsenal and West Ham had been subdued for a good while at that point.

Id say from around late 65, the rivalry started to get nasty, and there are still a few around now who stir from the shadows.

I don't understand how the best football player England has produced this generation who has never been in any real trouble off the pitch and is just boring family man with no controversy is so hated in your country.

Ill answer a question with another question - why does he (and he doesnt) or do we need him to be 'loved' by others?

I'm not sure he is ' so hated' any more than any other top player by rival fans.
