A few older generation Spurs fans I know used to sing this on the trains to WHL (Busby was changed to Shankly for some reason, maybe we picked it up off Liverpool?) don't know if the United one or the Spurs one if the original tbh. Cracking song whatever way you look at it.
Alright alright, others have blown your trumpet but it doesn't give you the right to do it yourself.

it was a decent forum tbf, I remember superyids being a bit of a nutcase.He still is
The key is to not take him too seriously though!Not sure if you've posted since ShelfsideYido joined? He's very similar to Superyids, absolute nutter! He was there last night though (along with myself and DeadlyDemon - DD and ShelfsideYido were actually directly next to each other the whole game, but didn't realise until I posted the Daily Mail picture on FF, despite them both having 8000+ posts on the same forum :avbfacepalm:
I'm not sure I've seen him, at least superyids has company now! :avblol:He still is

It was indeed, me and Ben. Sorry if I fell over you at one pointThink this wasPark Lane James and his mate, I was just to the right of them. Was definitely a good spot to be in.
Can I just say one thing - thanks to everyone who joined in for 'Stand up if you love Tottenham' - why oh why do we have to mention that lot when we sing it.

Hahaha so true! I'm sorry Buckler
So.... When's the next one then?
Possibly Panathinaikos, dependant on how the meeting with the club goes, which I think is tomorrow.
Observations from the park lane lower:
Firstly, cracking effort everyone. Constant noise and a few songs like 'let's pretend...' raise some laughs from people who'd clearly never witnessed that.
Have to say that actually the PL were quite vocal last night. It's just that you lot were so loud I don't think you picked up on it. Have to say a lot of the chants were picked up after 1882 lot started them so shows it can work. I was well jealous that I'd been too lazy to move my seats. Also think I missed you all in the bricklayers by about 5 mins.
HOWEVER...
I'm not sure the normal home support are quite ready for us yet.
There were a few people that were looking up at you singing about being here every week. Of course they didn't realise that many of you usually sit in the Pl lower or elsewhere.
Also not sure how well advised the 'you used to sing down there' chants were. For us TFC natives the intentions are clear but it actually served to rile up a lot of other fans. Many of whom were actually singing! It was almost like you guys were away fans in our own ground.
End of the day, being in one big organised group (that are pissed up!) is ways going to help make constant noise. Most other parts of the stadium don't have this. People tend to come in smaller groups. A good argument for a permanent, dedicated block I suppose.
I'm fully behind 1882 as you know but in the lead up there has been some talk of not being TOO hard line against our own fans.
Last night was very close to alienating some people I fear.
sorry to put a dampener on it. In general it was fuckig awesome!

All good points to make, and I agree.
However, by reading through other forums, twitter etc etc I've heard nothing but fantastic responses. I haven't seen a single bad word. Not to say I don't understand entirely where you are coming from though.
Yeah, a bit of care not to alienate other fans is probably called for though. I'm not sure calling fans that boo cunts is very helpful. Generally I think the response from other fans was really good but it would be really sad to have a 'them and us' feeling from other areas, considering the reason for doing it is the exact opposite.
