Atmosphere should be generated by either hatred/banter towards the away fans or in conjunction with the pattern of play on the pitch.
Coordinated chants with no bearing on who you are playing or the fluctuations of the match are extremely boring.
British clubs that use drums & club provided flags & banners are (rightly) looked down upon. When it is a foreign club eveyone gushes over it.
The double standards piss me off as well. Foreign clubs climb the railings, light flares etc etc & the media love it. UK fans do it.....life time ban.

That save from Lloris was absolutely pivotal. Hope the team buys him a few pints.
And an Uber home.

Wanker!!! Ended up winning 3-0 Playdoh face. Good one!!!!
First, I don't post here nearly often enough. I always enjoy reading the game threads after we win! Quite entertaining. Very similar to the same type of threads on Kentucky basketball. Personally, I can't read threads, post, and watch games at same time. I'm typically a bit of a mess!
Games like yesterday's are such joy. Dortmund looked the better squad, we made a few horrific plays, had a couple of chances, but overall great concern at half. Then an absolute joyous 2H. Son's great start (after Jan's amazing cross), on edge for 30+ mins w it being just 1-Nil despite us obviously being better, then the incredible last 10 mins. So much fun!
My daughter may be doing a semester in England in 2020. Not even sure where, but if so, I've told the wife we are planning a visit to see her around a trip to the New White Hart Lane. I'll finally be able to see Spurs in person! If so, I will absolutely need to learn the various songs well in advance and plan to leave with no voice. #COYS!

I asked a German, Dortmund supporting mate of mine if he knew how many goals Sonnys scored against them. He said Nein, I said bang on!

I can't stand it mate. They think they are producing 'atmosphere' but after a while it becomes an annoying background noise.
Why would Spurs allow the away fans to bring several drums into the ground which makes it harder for the home support to generate atmosphere? Defeats the object surely.
Wembley has'nt changed much over the last 96 years.
All the best to you and your son Gatsby.
