Tottenham are different. Some people don't seem to get it.
Tottenham are different. Some people may want us to be like every other team, but we are not.
Our history, tradition, reputation for integrity as the OP has tried to say make us different and on the whole our fans are different too.
We expect and applaud good football and until recently we admired football played in the right spirit, the 'Tottenham' way I think it is called.
Gareth bale is a gifted player, but he's young and needs managing.
Any player who cheats should not be selected. Standards come from the top.
If he won't conform to the traditions and historical standards of the club
he should be sold.
I repeat my original assertion: football is about more than kicking a ball, winning a game, getting silverware, success in whatever form.
If you don't like it you are supporting the wrong club.
Me and Spud were here first.
Good football before success: success through good football.
I appreciate that your explanation of the mechanics of running was well-meaning and served to make your point. I happen not to completely agree with it; and I too have played sport (football and rugby) at quite a high level.By all means, yell 'Get up Bale you Tart' if he's rolling around on the floor unreasonably, but to demand to sell him smacks of someone desperate to appease the opposition because they've been teased just a little too much for their liking.
FFS man, grow a pair and start living up to your label as a SUPPORTER of Tottenham Hotspur rather than be an apologist to the scum.

As for your last point, I couldn't give a flying fuck what opposition fans, players or management think or say. My point was made because I deplore cheating, and find it particularly odious when it is done by a Spurs player. Your advice to 'grow a pair' was ill-advised and unwelcome, and I could pit my credentials as a supporter of this club against anybody on this board.
I often enjoy reading your comments, but on this occasion you let yourself down.
As regards Mr. Bale's diving, I haven't noticed a single one since the Everton game. He is to be applauded for that; long may it continue.
