Yes, but my leg of lamb Sunday fell into the 'historic' category. Well done me.
Also, while we aren't really allowed to say it, I wouldn't be unhappy if Chelsea collapsed and Spurs won the league. There, I said it. It's how I feel. :shrug:
I find it really hard to hate this Spurs side and while I can't think of a single obnoxious, irritating, vile Spurs supporter in the office, Chelsea has them in droves.
Yeah. Böllocks. And the following year there was the Cuban Missile Crisis. Do Spurs only win leagues at times of heightened nuclear tension?Quote:

They won't win it purely because there is not enough matches left for Chelsea to fúck it up, I even took the most deviant of steps and looked at their remaining fixtures such was my concern at how very ordinary they appeared on Sunday.Quote:

Yup. What WES has done there is effectively admit he doesn't really get the whole 'Arsenal' thing. :-(Quote:

But that's the thing: ALL Tottenham supporters are offensive by dint of their allegiance - even the nice ones. Besides, if they seem acceptable now, it's only because we've had the whip hand over them for such a long time. With the boot on the other foot, you'll soon find out how offensive they are.Quote:

I assume you've summoned a doctor? And there can be no question of you driving anywhere while suffering from vertiginal nausea. Your glw will have to step in.Quote:

That was sort of what I was obliquely referring to, yes. :-\ Must have been properly shīt.Quote:

Unless of course you are exaggerating your illness and in fact what you had was akin to a bad hangover.
In which case, despite your recent denial, you would be veering into the queer district.
I laugh in the face of minor heart attackss and strokes.Quote:

On the boards around the site were photos and momentoes of Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur. "Harry Kane scores a goal in Europe!" "Spurs win a football match!", "Harry Kane top scorer in the League!" "Here is us winning the league in black and white!". Proper DVD-release of a league cup tie win stuff.
For all the 'mind the gaps' and 'power-shift in North London' that we've come to laugh at over recent years they are finally actually going to finish ahead of us, and could even actually win the fùcking double, and possibly by beating us twice in the process. If the dominance that we take for granted, which makes Arsenal the default team in large parts of North London, is over, then we might start seeing kids in Tottenham shirts deep in Arsenal country, which is almost unheard of now for many-a-year.
And for those that live more in Spurs territory, like poor old Berni there, I shudder to think what the implications could be.
Ivan will notice a dip in one of his revenue-streams too when the tills in the Spurs club shops start to ring more regularly than in his own.
I survived the early to mid-80s, a. I can survive this. Probably. :-(Quote:
