Myopic if taken individually put together, my admittedly infantile rants, show a pattern of taking the club's fanbase for granted. This is not a spurs specific issue but more football generally.You are always entitled to be pissed off mate, but I think if you make posts like you did on an Internet forum you are going to get some pretty barbed replies. It's a shame that those replies weren't a bit more compassionate themselves, but still you've gotta expect some backlash.
Saying things like "No ambition in the transfer market" and "Fucked up the stadium" are myopic views (imo) that don't really reflect the reality of the situation or the reality of how life works.
It sounds like you and I are probably a similar age and have been supporting the club for the same amount of time so I can empathise with where you're coming from. No point attacking other Spurs fans though. You said something because you were pissed off with the club, you got a reply from somebody who is pissed off at posts like yours. It's tit for tat.
In 6 months time we will be in the new stadium (hopefully!!) and there will have been a bunch of features on Sky and BBC about how great it is and how Spurs are on an upward trend. We will be doing well in the Prem and looking forward to the CL knockout stages. All these little niggles will be in the past and on their way to being forgotten. So let's not blow up at each other and make this the season when Spurs fans turned fully toxic.
Maybe I should have said losing interest in football generally and western capitalist society. The squeeze every penny out of everyone as possible approach.
My idealistic view is that football clubs should not be run for profit solely. Any profits should be invested back into improving the team and the fans experience.
The go support arsenal line is purposely inflammatory and I thought my response pretty restrained.
