At least spurs don’t boo their own players off the pitch

What is it with top 4 clubs wanting to shit on the so called “lesser” teams? What – i suppose it would be such a thrill for Man u, chelsea, arsenal & the pool to just play each other week in week out? It’s never nice to get relegated, and im hoping that neither newcastle or tottenham will go out – and at this point in time it looks like that’s not going to be the case. If spurs get relegated who will poor Arsenal have to pick on….? Nevermind, i’m sure they’ll find something to moan about – wenger always does.

—Their players epitomize the problems with English players. They would rather toil in lucrative mediocrity while enjoying the London lifestyle at Spurs, rather than challenge themselves at a Big Four club or a Champions League club elsewhere in Europe.—

I’m no Spurs fan, but honestly, is this what we’re calling it these days? It isn’t the Big 4 ® overpaying and buying up all the talent in an effort to retain their grasp on the money at the top of the Premiership (Champions, UEFA, etc.), not through superior tactics but through brute force and funds, it’s players who want to challenge themselves?

Puh-leeze.

I’ve never read any of your other work, but I’d be willing to go out on a limb on two things-

1. You’re a Big 4 fan (probably not ManU though, I’m thinking Chelsea for some reason, or possibly Arsenal).

2. This isn’t as light-hearted as you wish it were.

Better luck next time, mate.

tyduffy – if I were you, I’d be less concerned with trying to convince people that it was a “lighthearted” article and perhaps examine what in the name of god possessed you to write such turgid shit in the first place.

As a fellow writer on here and a Tottenham fan, I find your labelling myself along with all other Spurs fans as homophobic racists extremely offensive. Tottenham has a history of being one of the most forward thinking clubs in regards to the intergration of black fans and players and to be labelled a bunch of racist homophobe is ignorant, pathetic and quite simply beyond the pale.
How 16 fans (who were all caught thanks to the effort of the majority of Spurs fans, myself included) then cloud your judgement to the rest of us is incredible niave and stuns me.
If you’d have stuck to football then fine, but I will never tolerate being called a racist or homophobe. I am neither and have always expected and championed equality for all, regardless of creed, colour, sexual orientation and religion.That is an insult too far.
