I was at the game yesterday and sang along with everyone else in the park lane, am I that much less of a fan than you because I'm American?
of course not mate. Joe's a good poster but the campaign of hatred towards Americans is tedious.

I love Soldado.
We all support the same club, does not matter where you come from: All this territorial crap is redundant in the global scheme of things!of course not mate. Joe's a good poster but the campaign of hatred towards Americans is tedious.
i thought it was just me who never realises he has done the rabona.Haha only just realised that Lamela tried another rabona. Cheeky boy..:lameladisgust:
No, I think you're great. All of you. And you're a bigger fan than me. (Not that that's important mind you.) The Park Lane was quiet, that doesn't matter either. Rock on. Read the match thread. Loads of yanks moaning that the yanks were quiet. I'm not really sure what you mean TBH. I'm glad you had a good time. It's great really. Really great.I was at the game yesterday and sang along with everyone else in the park lane, am I that much less of a fan than you because I'm American?
Thanks for the kind words, but I don't hate Americans. I think tourists spoil the atmosphere. There's a difference. What's your call on the shit atmosphere at most home games? If I'm allowed a platform to bang on about this, I'm gonna call it like I see it. Every part of of the ground is now neutered - people turning up and expecting the atmosphere to come with the ticket price. Come on, we all know it's crap.of course not mate.

I agree the atmosphere is increasingly diluted. The causes include tourists but, just as much, include English people.
In Park Lane when the atmosphere isn't good, I see mostly English people around me.
I tend to agree with what you're saying about people who turn up expecting an atmosphere, but not contributing to it.
But I think the anti-American outbursts on here are misguided. There is a difference between tourists who don't contribute to atmosphere, and the fans on this forum who happen to be American. I'm sure the majority of them are properly into their Spurs. Not to say some won't be fairweather, but have a go at that, instead of their nationality.
So - imho - your anti-American posts on here tend to express anger at the wrong people. Someone like TDub comes across as knowledgeable about football, a proper Tottenham supporter.
The days of English football being played by, and in front of, English people only, are long gone. And they aren't coming back.
The club should do what it can to support the fans who want to congregate in the same area and make the atmosphere that the club profits from. But the club has, up to now, done nothing to support that section of the fanbase. Instead they seem to actively suppress it. So I doubt the empty words about ensuring an amazing atmosphere in the new stadium will be substantiated with action.
I like TDub , I'm not anti American. I like the majority of TFC's American posters. I think I have a good rapport with most of them, but there are a couple that grate with me. I admit I go on about it too much, and I will tone it down in future.
Bit premature with the New Year resolutions.
I'm not sharing the title with any cunt on here. It's mine, don't ya hear it's MINE.
What about old Mockers that thinks it's madness? Don't get these blokes TBH. Ah well, they'll join in when we win it.
Yep. It's odd how the very moaniest cunts resort to grudging silence when things start to go right.The only thing as enjoyable as Spurs relentless ascent of the League is the naysayers' reactions to it, to whit:
I knew it was was going to to happen really.
It's not really happening, you're all deluded cunts, so there.
It will all go catastrophically wrong, which will make me correct (please God, make it happen!).
Silence. (My personal favourite).
He's been on my radar for some time - worthless goon maggot - not worth the effortMate, he is Alan Curbishley.
Seriously though check his history. Two years on here and yet to rate a single post. Not one. I'm surprised that he's not on ArcspacE 's radar.
What am I supposed to think is madness??I'm not sharing the title with any cunt on here. It's mine, don't ya hear it's MINE.

I think talk of winning the league is a bit premature. It's not impossible of course but it's more than incredibly unlikely.
