Flav said:I hate Woolwich as much as I love Spurs.
Again, if you grew up around them giving you constant verbal you'd feel the same. If you didn't you wouldn't.

linnet_spur said:For me the argument is do you hate Woolwich more than you love Spurs. If you wouldn't want them to win and us win the league I would say you hate Woolwich more than love Spurs. Not qualifying that as wrong, can understand it totally.
Interesting reverse argument.
Spurs need to win to not get relegated. We're playing United. If we win we stay up but Woolwich win the league. If we lose we go down but Woolwich don't win the league. How would you feel about that?

The phrase 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' comes to mind.

I would never ever wish for a positive Woolwich result. I would never be happy for an Woolwich victory. I could never for one moment ever watch a Woolwich game and think 'I hope they score.'
I hate Woolwich as much as I love Tottenham. No scenario will change that.
Their joy is my unhappiness.
Thelonious said:Fuck Woolwich, I wouldn't be a gooner for 90 minutes which is effectively what the question was. Fuck em!
I'd never want them to win any game, I wouldn't celebrate their goals or any victory for them. Fuck that shit. Doesn't matter about spinning this whole "hating them more than loving Spurs" rhetoric.linnet_spur said:Thelonious said:Fuck Woolwich, I wouldn't be a gooner for 90 minutes which is effectively what the question was.

Wanting a team to win to benefit your own team isn't being a fan of that team. It's wanting what is best for your own team. Tottenham first always
Thelonious said:I won't be watching their game, punching the air when they score. Regardless. I can't watch them play thinking "I hope RVP gets a hat-trick so we win the league" or "come on Woolwich". Just can't do that.
Don't even get me started on fantasy football.
