I love Spurs so much...

...that as a child, whenever travelling on the Piccadilly Line (grandparents in Holloway), I would shut my eyes tight before we got to 'Arsenal', and only open them again once the train had cleared the station.

lololololol, now someone else go!

*claps hands excitedly*

...that while my wife was pregnant with my first child, I talked to the baby in the womb saying "not Arsenal, not Arsenal". As he supports Chelsea (I don't know why, so don't ask) I refined this to "Tottenham, Tottenham, Tottenham" for my second child. She doesn't really care for football, so I assume she is West Ham!

... that I can't wear red (perhaps this thread should be I hate Arsenal so much that...

... that I would think nasty thoughts when I was on the tube that had to go through Arsenal too!

... that I used to sneak out without my parents knowing to queue all night at the Lane for European tickets back in the 1960s.

 

[Dangerous_Clive]

...that when I walk through Liverpool Street Station every day for work, and the loudspeaker is announcing the stops for Enfield Town trains, and she says "calling at...Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove, WHITE HART LANE...", the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Happens every day, without fail.

.. that when I wasn't well and couldn't go to an evening game once when I was a kid, I listened to the sounds of the crowd all through the game (I only lived around the corner from the Spurs ground) looking at my autographed photos in bed and cried.

PS: I did that by the light of the floodlights!

that every time i masturbate, I think of Ginola's hair

 

[Azrael]

Because I once took Stuart Nethercott up the arse.

 

[spurs mental]

...I'll risk getting caught watching us on a stream in work just so I can watch it. (I work in a supermarket and we have a computer beside the tills that we use for work, but I use it for Spurs) :-D

 

[lilywhitecurtis]

...That when Gary Doherty scored in the 2001 F.A cup semi-final, whilst at my own 14th birthday party I got so excited that I vomited all over myself! In front of all my friends I should have been embarrassed beyond belief, but was so excited that I insisted on hugging my brother. Ginger Pele's greatest moment and perhaps my worst! :up:

 

[Spurger King]

I love Spurs so much that I once ran around the cul de sac I lived in screaming at the top of my voice...then screamed in the faces of my sister and all her friends that were in my house...because of a goal scored by Andy Turner for Spurs against Everton...that when I returned to the tv I found had been disallowed for offside.

I came out of retirement from my "never turn down a dare" just because the guy who dared me was a dirty gooner.

Ran a lap of the block where my flat was (Stanley Road and Garfield Road off Station Road, North Chingford), naked, in two inches of snow. If i'd fallen over, my cock wouldn't even have hit the pavement, i was so cold, but he said i'd never do it, i said no-one had dared me to, he said, "Ok, i dare you t..." and i was kicking off my boxers and opening the front door.

Fuck yeah.

In 1991 Charity shield game with Arsenal, at the age of 6, i remember my older brother (gooner) thought Arsenal at scored which in turn convinced me they had. I turned and punched him in the face, giving him a nose bleed. My mum went mental and was convinced i'd be a football hooligan when i grew up.

Also managed to convince the wife to have the champions league theme tune as the exit music from the church.

Also try to shout "Gillespie Road" over the announcer on the underground.

 

[SNAFU_Clarke]

i have a 'feet up at gillespie road' thing. this means if i have a seat i lift my feet whilst in the station and if i'm standing i stand on my bag or lift myself off the floor somehow. it's a bit shit really. i used to get a mate of mine to do it as well but as he supports everton he wasn't as rigourous as i was.

I found an old diary type book under the cupboard yesterday that I used to randomly write in when I was about 8. It had all the then formations, including lineups and squad numbers. My main source of learning to write in English (as I attended a Greek school) was through the teletext service and writing those formations and various Spurs songs.

The only thing that made me cringe when I saw those teams, was when I saw Sol Campbell in my lineup, next to Chris Perry!

I was at that game, was side netting and half the stadium thought the same as you did :lol:

 

[KingKay]

I'm still convinced that the removal of the red carpet throughout my house coincided with our recent upturn in fortunes. Since then ive been on a par with Stalin in my purges of all things red.

I also turn around all goon merchandise in any shop i go in.

 

[Dangerous_Clive]

...that aged 8 and not having chosen a team to follow, I promised my family (all of whom support Arsenal, except my Father, who is Spurs), that I would finally make up my mind and choose to support whoever won the 1993 FA Cup Semi-Final at Wembley.

Arsenal won but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Something just didn't feel 'right'. I was Tottenham from that day forward.

Epic thread btw OP.

I bet the hairs go back down when the announcement continues;

'....Is cancelled due to industrial action/ wrong type of leaves/ snow/rain/heat/high winds/no windpower/clocks stopped/tea time/privatisation and shareholder dividend maintenance work...etc.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

... that when I was 14 and my mother thought I should get a Saturday job ( mg: ) and dragged me off to shops for interviews, I deliberately alternately sulked and glared and failed the simple tests the shopkeepers gave me. I expect they thought I was either dangerous or stupid, probably both.

My mum gave up after three attempts and I continued to watch my precious Spurs. I think I would have been almost suicidal if I hadn't been able to.

 

[mattwilson]

sort of on topic, but I was at Hard Rock calling on Friday, and prior to the encore with people trying to get The Killers back on stage I proceeded to start a Yid Army chant, which was followed up by someone on the other side of the crowd chanting We've got Ledley at the back!!!
