Tottenham is a shithole. Just saying.

 

 

True.

 

Most London teams come from pretty shitty parts of the capital, though.

 

Fulham's quite plush but is in Putney, really, isn't it? Chelsea's not too bad, but has the shittiest fans. Palace & Wimbledon medium-brow, not quite Surrey; QPR passable. Never been to Brentford but assume it's similar.

Tottenham, Arsenal, West Ham, Millwall, Charlton, Orient & Dagenham are all in pretty down-market areas

Tottenham is God awful, as are the surrounding areas, Wood Green is terrible. A lot of Arsenal and Tottenham fans in neighbouring areas like Crouch End and Muswell Hill though which are posh as. Where all the TV celebs live.

Putney is pretty nice to be honest, rather posh indeed. Proper Chelsea is pretty much like the TV show but I don't think that's quite where the Headhunters call home nowadays.

As for Palace, Jesus, I've spent quite a lot of time in Croydon and it's absolutely awful. Like, third world.

True. My Dad now lives in Muswell Hill (Champagne Socialist) - he bumped into Robert Peston there last year. Michael Foot and Bill Owen (the Bernie-like one from Last of the Summer Wine) used to live locally, too.

My Dad supports the Kerry Gaelic Football team & Ireland rugby, though, not Spurs or the Arse.

 

I spent 5 months working in Putney in the 80s: kitchen porter at the Hurlingham Club. Very posh place, with peacocks wandering around the lawns. My job wasn't very posh, though.  lol

 

The family is downwardly mobile now, though, with me having moved to Leicester & my brother on a grotty estate in SE London. Parents moved up from humble origins through nice public sector jobs, now my generation is moving back down thanks to our lack of the requisite Thatcherite enterpreneurial spirit.....don't tell any of the Tory boys, though!

Croydon is one of the scariest places I've been. Was visiting a friend there a few years back and walking down the road he lived on he said, casual as you like, "an old school mate was stabbed to death here the other day". That stuff just happens there and people don't seem to bat an eyelid.

Ha! Alf I used to wash pots in Cossy Mill, poshest gastro pub in Charnwood at the time and the kitchen was the absolute pits.

Also used to work in a shop in Crouch End. Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis and Grant Nicholas (Feeder) all regular customers.

My very first week in Wood Green, someone got stabbed to death on a bus in broad daylight that a couple of my housemates were actually on. Right on the high street by Showcase.

Also been mugged, caught in a bar fight and had fireworks shot at my head all about 100m from Wood Green tube station. :nigel:

Seriously, this shit is why I laugh whenever people moan about Narborough Road.

What utter bollox

At Filbert Street there were always BNP and National Front everywhere. You couldn't see half the pitch as there was mesh fence because their fans threw coins for the whole 90 minutes. Haven't been to the White Power Stadium so I don't know how it is today. 

Never liked them, still don't.

 

 

I normally don't care what other fans think but this is just lies.

 

The only reason he saw BNP and National Front everywhere was because he was in the away end. :dance:

Have been to Crouch End a couple of times, but don't know it well. Went to the swimming pool there once years ago (God knows why; I'm not noted for physical fitness activities).

 

Whenever there are any dishes to wash, I always stress that I'm a former professional. My other dish-washing job was even more bizarre: for a couple of months, I washed dishes on the "Herald of Free Enterprise", the ferry that sank at Zeebrugge, though that was 2-3 years after I'd moved on. Afterwards, they published the names of crew who had survived or died; I recognised about 6 names of people I'd worked with on the "survivors" list, nobody on the "fatalities" list, thankfully.

 

Anyway, better stop straying from the thread topic!

I think I finally hate Spurs fans more than any other, including Millwall fans. The bitterness is understandable - they've never been in such a good position and "nobodies" such as us are 5 points clear. But the excuses, the complete disregard to our squad's talent, and now just making up stories about us having links to the BNP and National Front? That's out of order.

Of course Spurs are bigger than us. But only due to geography. If they didn't live in such a densely populated area nobody would give a shit.

Take them out of London and nobody would give a shit. They would be thought of in the same manner as Southampton. Occasionally flirting with Europe, and being a feeder club for bigger clubs. It says a lot about them that for 10 years their 'rivals' have underperformed yet still outshines them. Still wouldn't be suprised to see Arsenal overtake them again.

The difference in attitude being two clubs are from a city used to getting what it wants and the other two from a city that has to work for everything it gets.

 

That may be partially true mate, but what about West Ham and Crystal Palace then? Their support seems almost noble in comparison not to mention they aren't nearly as deluded as those Spuds or Arse fans. Still a mystery to me.

We play Palace this weekend don't we. I'm sure by Monday everyone will hate them.

For a few years, in the late 70s, Leicester was arguably the epicentre of NF activity; they came within a few votes of winning a Council seat, and had their national headquarters on Humberstone Rd.

It may stem from that.

We have brought a new paradigm to the Premier League, they don't know what to do with it.  They have been told for the last decade at least that you need to spend spend spend to get into the top 4, that it is impossible otherwise.  Spurs have spent quite a lot, and now when a couple of other teams slip up, they are poised to win... nothing.  HAHAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHAAA lol

A friend's brother (Spurs fan, hate him) keeps banging on Facebook about how we are undeserving of being top as we are lucky as fvck and everything has gone our way this season. I pointed out Mahrez' two missed penalties, the undeserved loss against Arsenal, the draw against West Brom despite a great performance, he had no comeback. His friend weighed in with "Yeah but if we (Spurs) had had our luck then we'd be way above Leicester. Leicester haven't been good, just the best of the bad bunch but get ready for heartbreak at the end of the season."

 

I really hope we win this thing, Spurs fans are all massive c unts without exception. Bitter, arrogant, deluded twatsacks.
