If that happens, I for one will welcome thermonuclear war.

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.
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.
I do think Spurs are the best side in the league but then the football cliché about winning the league will over-rule that.
It is an ever evolving thing though, Burney. While I used to hate Spurs more than any team in the world the whole Abramovich/Lampard/Terry/Mourinho era has raised Chelsea to the same level of hatred as Spurs for me. Literally Jamie, I don't know a single really offensive Spurs supporter.
I know bag loads of Chelsea ones.
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.
A definite improvement over the initial nightmare first hour, yes, since when progress has slowed.
I was lying on the floor unable to move my limbs, retching hard, when I remembered finding my mother exactly like that after the haemorrhage that killed her, so it was a bit troubling. I didn't want to scare v by asking for an ambulance, which was a good job really, I'd have looked a proper ****.
I don’t think one should not take any chances with health as one ages, and let’s be honest you are on the home straight in that respect.. Doctors and health professionals exist for this very reason.
I know of people, family members, who have gone to see their doctor on the basis of something not feeling right and ended up being told they had had a minor heart attack or in another case stroke.
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.
It is about more than the people we know, and I agree that many Chelsea fans are worse than Spurs fans (and there are reasons for that) it is about a kind of geo-political control of the hinterlands.
I walked past The Lane yesterday, with their grand construction site now resembling a new stadium, at a moment when their club could be riding the crest of a wave to some geniune success, possibly even standing on the edge of a seriously glorious era, while our club spirals downwards into goodness-knows what, and it was a sobering moment.
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.
