Ah yes the Villa gift 

Spurs would have gone if it wasn’t for Villa throwing that game. It’s the points that made the difference sadly.

And surprisingly very down to earth.

Fuck me, how dodgy was that Man City disallowed goal? The guys running VAR are doing everything they can to get it binned.

 

Honestly, do you not have a Spurs forum you could join?

Stop being a dick


I mean, it’s understandable in the context. This is your manor after all, I’m just a guest. I’ll give you all some space.

 

I will say this. I’m posting on a Spurs forum too, obviously. I’m not a weirdo :lol:. I just have connections in the area (my Best Woman is from Stakeford, among other things) and it’s a cracking forum with some beautiful people. And also, I do think it’s good for fans of different clubs to speak to each other occasionally.

 

In that light, I’ll bow out for a bit with something from that Spurs forum I hang out on that I think is worth saying after this last few weeks and months. The first two posts are from KUMB, the last is from Spurscommunity in response. They were all posted before the games today/yesterday:

 

Hammer 1

If we stay up, we stay up. 

If we go down, we go down. 

Planet's still gonna spin, sun's still gonna rise and set, tides still gonna rise and fall.

Plenty more to be thankful for in life, so don't let today get into your head regardless of what happens and just enjoy the ride of another day on this amazing, small blue ball spinning through space.

Hammer 2

Well done - as this needs / needed saying.

Football, whether going to football with your friends, watching football in the pub with friends or at home watching it on your own, it means a lot to people - to some it's a way of life, it is their lives, it's like Religion. For some it's all they have.

During one of my many stays in hospital, this time the Royal Alexandra, Paisley, one of the Auxiliaries was telling me about a young Rangers fan who was lying in a room down the way from me... he'd tried taking his own life after his club went into administration.

Difficult to imagine, but for some following your Club becomes your life and what happens to that Club affects your life.

Which is why your post is significant.

Later on this evening, there'll be people on here or on other West Ham sites and in the London Stadium... and.. ...let us not forget over at Tottenham Hotspur whose lives, depending on how results go, are going to be affected badly and it's important that someone is there to offer them the same advice you offered us all here .... West Ham / Tottenham will continue to exist, Life will go on and will continue to have meaning. Clubs as big as ours, or as big as Rangers always bounce back eventually, it's only a matter of time.

Take care of yourselves, wherever you are.

 

Spurs fan:

 

I remember being at WHL in 2011 when we relegated Birmingham. At the end of the game, before they welcomed our players et al back onto the pitch for the lap of appreciation, Coytey addressed the Birmingham fans in the corner, praised their support that day, commiserated them on going down and wished them luck in their quest to return. Both sets of fans then applauded one another and it felt like that’s how fans of relegated clubs should be treated. 

Today, however, I suspect within minutes of the final whistle, Dominos, Specsavers and a few betting companies will put out posts mocking whichever team has been relegated, and in doing so they’ll set the tone for internet fans everywhere, who will forward and repost those memes etc far and wide. If it’s us who goes down I expect there will even be some rival players who make comments which their own supporters will gleefully share. 

And someone somewhere will take it to heart, let it get to them, and do something destructive, be it to themselves or to a loved one, and those people and companies who revel in the bear baiting will accept no responsibility at all. ‘Just banter innit’. 

Whatever the outcome today, I recommend you already have plans for this evening, and mute WhatsApp groups etc. And remember, no matter what, we kick off again in August

I think Leffe is good craic and it’s going to be interesting to see what happens with both of our clubs next season. We will both have seemingly unrealistic expectations of top 6/7 after fucking awful years.

Not properly bowing out, just giving it a break for a bit, in the Football side at least. I’ll be back for the World Cup. I like the sight of my own voice too much :lol:

 

I just know I’ve been on tilt for a while and need to be careful in general, but particularly on another team’s forum. I am, as I have said many times, too old for this shit. There are a lot of Spurs fans out there who have made clear that this season has genuinely fucked with their psyche and left them reluctant to rip the piss out of West Ham fans. You guys have been through this relatively recently - not just relegation but a (far more obviously) dysfunctional ownership. It hurts, and sometimes it’s worth acknowledging. Fuck what Elon Musk says about empathy. I think it’s important.

Howay Thistle. Been away from the SPL too long. 

Up the saints! Was an awful performance but was all about surviving. Like the toon they'll need to get their act together over the summer though.

Hope Partick get up automatically next season. They've suffered badly in play offs over the years by the sounds of it.
