Who hates Spurs?

I see Svennis is famous again.

Hi.... Spurs fan here. Thought i'd join to reply.

Yep, we seem to be the most hated team in London. Arsenal (though they rarely admit it) and West Ham definitely see our game as the one they most like to win. Chelsea maybe not, until recently they've been so used to beating us it's probably quite boring for them. But don't for a second think our fans are the only ones who suffer from retardedness and arrogance. Read any Arsenal forum until 3 weeks ago and you'll see a number of people calling for Wenger's head. Look at West Ham fans over the last week - singing nice songs about Defoe's recently deceased brother, then the whole Millwall saga. There is a idiot element everywhere, including City (storming the pitch in the cup tie for example). I can't bear reading a Spurs forum at 5pm if we've just lost, it's like the special school has just been given new computers and they're going at it like nutters without thinking. I'm sure you get them too.

I don't think there are more arrogant Spurs fans than any other team, though i will admit we do get a lot of fans who expect us to make massive signings and moan if we don't beat Bolton 4-0 because they think we're Spurs and have a divine right to be the best around, even though we haven't been anywhere near the top for 25 years. You're getting a few fans like that now. I've read through a few of your threads and some of the comments and arrogance are unbelievable... but i'd reckon we'd be the same if we were in your position, just the way of the world.

We're very similar, apart from you now have the funds to compete. We've both regularly failed to live up to the hype, we have excellent support, especially away from home, we both play good football and we're both gagging for success. I'd rather you break into the top 4 by 'natural' means, but it'll still be good to see the current lot broken up.

So there you have it. We're not so bad.
 
Forgive my ignorance in these things, but I really don't understand this hatred of Spurs at all.

I've never been that bothered about teams from London, and I honestly don't understand this new hatred.

I'm not bothered about Spurs, I never have been, and I probably never never will be. I know we lost a cup final years ago to them, but could someone please explain to me why I should hate them?
 
Ive never recovered from the 1981 cup finals, or the constant repetition of THAT goal every time the FA Cup comes around.
Only when we win the Cup this year will the healing begin!

Bombom, what are the traditional 'Spurs areas'?
I know Essex and the east end is supposedly West ham and south-east London is Milwall but is there defined Spurs and Arsenal areas in North London or is everywhere mixed really?

Although Essex is essentially a West Ham 'catchment' area, there are loads of Spurs fans from there. North London is probably the main area where there are mixtures of Spurs & Arsenal (and of course Utd.......) but where i live in Essex, there are plenty about. Arsenal had plenty of fans in South London when they used to play there, then gradually built a large fanbase in North London. All in all, we're scattered about over London and Essex mainly.
