So, we're behind Spurs and the sky has not fallen

[Monty92]

And let us not forget how edifying it must be to feel the real atmosphere at WHL. I find their version of "Oh When the Spurs" quite stunning. A pwopah old school football chant; primal, simple and uplifting. The way they draw the vowel sounds out would be impossible at the ArabBowl - none of the cancer deserving cvnts there would get it and would quickly descend back into "s'null s'null s'null".

It did occur to me during last night's game that their fans are far, far, far better than ours. Certainly on the 'passion' and song originality front.

Has that always been the case?

I believe this is partly down to not winning the league for 55 years, flirting with relegation in recent times and having a massive chip on the shoulder. Breeds character, you see. Not to mention a spot of violent hatred.

Not sure last night was a fair and balanced match to judge their support on.

Special circumstances so their fans would have been 100% up for it. Chelsea really **** on them last season and ended their best season in 20-30 years so normal derby related levels of dislike/hatred were heightened.

Goal just before the break was perfect.

All or most games are ifs and buts of course but had Hazard taken that very early chance (which he should have) all very different.

Wonder how much playing at Wembley next year will throw a spanner in their progress.

Are they playing their league games at Wembley also next season?

[redgunamo]

Are they playing their league games at Wembley also next season?

Every match a cup final, as they say. glwtpimo.

[Monty92]

Are they playing their league games at Wembley also next season?

I believe so. You've got to imagine it may very well compromise their home form.

However, not, most crucially, on the gate receipts front.

Back in the day I reckon we were about the same then the publication of Fever Pitch filled the ranks of our support with utter utter c unts.

I particularly detest this habit of crowbarring a player's name into a **** eighties pop tune,

Sammy Nasri - Give It Up
Alexis Sanchez Baby - Don't You Want Me Baby

Giroud to Hey Jude is okay

Fever Pitch is right; it gave all the snobby spastics the courage to really "come out" as football supporters when previously they'd kept their heads down.
