Heartache and ecstasy, gut-wrenching and orgasmic, all in equal measure.

Given how much West Brom have ruined my Christmas, I guess the answer is quite a lot!
I wrote off my entire year off 2013 as a waste of time because we dropped points at home to West Brom...
They're a major part of my life. They give me something to cling onto as I approach my declining years.
Spurs... fucking centre of everything, days, weeks, moths resolve around the Lillywhites. I can love it (Spurs) unconditionally and it won't judge me, thus making our relationship acceptable, even if horribly one sided. But hey Spurs, I'm hopelessly devoted to you to quote Sandra Dee
Can't imagine not being Spurs.
But it's not my world.
The "football club" has long gone. They treat me as a client reference number - says it all for me.

I like the pretty uniforms.
The typical douchebag glory hunters here in the States support Manure, Chelski, Man Shitty, and Woolwich but the Spurs supporters I have met are a different breed. They are the sort that love heartache, appreciate the fantastic highs, relish being the perpetual underdog, and know what it is to love your club through and through....I wouldn't have it any other fucking way!
I don't know what it is!..in 2 years time I would have been going to the lane for 50 years.
I cant explain how low the lows go, I cant explain the elation at the high's..
my dad was a Glaswegian & a massive celtic fan but he loved his football & every Saturday after finishing work .... sat mornings was part of the working week then!.. would go to a game with my uncle's & brothers & assorted cousins and hangers on from the neighbourhood.. whichever one nearby that was the most appealing...
i went to the lane first but as a small kid I went to highbury, the o's Brisbane road, upton park & Stamford bridge as well ( the chav game was unique as even the few chav fans about then still don't believe me who was in goal!).. but there was always something different & special inside me about thfc..
I firmly believe spurs chose me... the one thing I always remember to this day about my first game at the lane was getting of the 243 bus at bruce grove & from there you could see the old floodlights high above any buildings.. that knot feeling in your stomach happened.... it was still there last week outside the ground v west ham.
we've won the league in my lifetime but I cant remember..would be special if it happened again but i'm not holding my breath & would follow spurs whatever
league we ended up in !.. why!!!.......... I still don't know.

Where the fuck has 57 gone?!
forgot my password & the forum was supposed to reset my password but never did so I re registered.
Mainly frustration, but with an awful lot of disappointment thrown in.
It means way more to me than it should!
It really is a love affair.... With all the wonderful dreamy moments, and all the petty stinking rows that go with it! (as Shane McGowan once said; 'You can't hate someone unless you love them' - At least I think that's what he said!!)
I've 'fallen out' with Spurs more times than I care to remember.... We were barely on speaking terms once....
But I love them with all my heart, and will defend them to the hilt, I would never dream of walking away, and will be supporting them for the rest of my life.... 'Until death us do part' is the saying isn't it??
