Good point about the rivalry, not having to suffer the pesky goons on a daily/weekly basis surely influences how the less local based fans see them. I've hated them ever since i became Spurs because it comes with the territory (and because loads of them are just cunts) but i lack the same adversity for Chelsea for example (mainly as i've rarely encountered the vileness that they bring). I do however know quite a lot of Pool fans and 95 % of them are thundercunts of the worst level. There's no arguing football with them, its not possible, they dont get the game, they never ever acknowledge the facts and live in the past. Even the Belgian scouse fans are like that, it's like there's a gene that can only be achieved by thorough inbreeding coupled with lifelong indoctrination that runs through all of their family lines

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Back in 2014 me and my wife went to California on our honeymoon, and during our visit we watched a game vs Stoke City with the LA Spurs, who were all maga welcoming and all round lovely people.
After the game finished, at what was just before 9am (was a 7am kick off over there, and that was a 3pm UK time game!), we hung around for a few more hours and observed the Man Utd supporters group from LA come in to the bar to watch their game that was taking place afterwards, and got talking to a few other fans of various clubs that liked to hang out there.
One guy there was a Villa fan from Birmingham, who had been living over there for a few years, and we got talking about how into things the American fans were. He pointed out to me how they all knew a ridiculous amount about the history and stats about the team they chose to follow, and he put it down to them trying to overcompensate for not ever being in a position to actually go and watch their team, trying to impress the british ex pats over there who did used to go before they emigrated. Whilst I felt there was probably some truth in that, I also felt that it's probably down to the way US sports are so stats orientated, and that's how people follow sports over there.
Not entirely sure where I'm going with this, other than to say that, whilst they generally won't ever make it to a meaningful game in Europe, these people are hugely into Tottenham Hotspur and there's no doubting their passion. It's impossible, having spent a few hours in the company of a large group of foreign fans, to have anything but admiration for the dedication of these people to follow the games at stupid o'clock and get so in to supporting their team

Your name is Dave right, this is some weird type of pickup post innit ?Blatant “I’m really still a virgin” post.
Chas, actually.
that's just a nice way to say that British women are in general mingersI've posted this before:
Im a tourist. I live in Norway and go to a lot of games. Home and away. I show you respect by not shagging your women. I leave a lot of £ to your local breweries, I keep at least one junk food store running. So you better fancy us
How about If I have lived in Turnpike Lane?

No no no. Beggars can't be choosers
Many years ago i was with a man utd season ticket holder in Cyprus off season and we were trying to find the plot where he was having a holiday home built. It was in the middle of nowhere and we stopped and asked this old boy if he knew the place. ,My mate would always say 'i'm from manchester, you know, manchester united'. This old Cypriot chap scratched his beard then said 'fuck off, I'm Tottenham' in a London accent.
that was
spooky
You'd have my pity.......
You ever get in the Tollgate? One of the better Spoons
I'm a foreign supporter. I attend more than most of the the english supporters, I invest more financially and emotionally than most english supporters. and I've met many like me from Sweden and such.
So basically unless you attend every match away I don't think you can look down at anyone.
p.s. though I do find American fans a tad annoying (in person not here)
