spurs fans singing this to us yesterday, everton last season sang it and a few others have why ? dont they know football history, ok years ago but the fact is we have won leagues fa and league cups and ecw cup so what the fuck they on about[/quote]
Spurs fans know exactly what Manchester City have and have not won, and also the fact that Manchester City have not won a trophy for 32 years now.
Tottenham Hotspur (17 trophies) and Everton (15 trophies), sing that song to Manchester City as compared to them Manchester City have in fact won f*** all in comparison.
Sorry if it seems like a piss take, I am just explaining why it is sung to the likes of Mancheter City, and most other clubs.[/quote]
Great post, thanks, except you say that Spurs fans know exactly how many trophies we've won, and go on to state only that it's 'f***all in comparison.' How many is it then?
Tell you what, I'll save you time as you don't know anyway - it's 9 trophies, major ones that is, all the domestic honours plus a European trophy. So obviously 9 is sod-all in comparison to 15 or 17.
By the way, our ground is bigger & better than yours, our attendances are better than yours and Everton's (who cares about them?), and we have far more money than you. In addition to that we are nice people whereas White Hart Lane is one of the nastiest atmospheres one could ever experience.[/quote]
Firstly you don't even own your own ground, you "rent it" from the council ffs very impressive, your attendances are only greater by the fact that our ground is currently not big enough for our fan base, Spurs have the most expensive season tickets in the country at up to £1675 each and over £1000 on average, yet we still have over 22,000 fans on our season ticket waiting list and over 70,000 One Hotspur members.
You will lose out big time if you try to compare your support to Tottenham's, Spurs have the Third highest all time average attendance, Manchester City got 17,000 fans LOL for a UEFA Cup tie, then another massive crowd of 21,000 last week, you got 35,000 for a League game a little while a go oh dear, Spurs almost always sell out for UEFA Cup ties, unless Daniel Levy takes the piss like he did last week, by charging us £53 for a ticket, 33,000 is as low as we go, our League games sell out weeks and sometimes months in advance, Spurs are going to build a new £400m 60,000 seater stadium in the next few years, but don't let those facts deter you from your ill informed rant will you.
Your owner might have more money, but Tottenham as a club generate over DOUBLE what Manchester City do, hence the fact that you never had a pot to piss in for years and years.[/quote]
22000 season ticket waiting list, is impressive, but my brother in law managed to get one instantly 2 years ago, wasnt a member and spurs had been shit.
your crowds under george graham were sub 30000 loads of times, not great out of a city london's size.
oh and i remember going to white hart lane in 1985, mark lillis scored, a bumber 17000 crowd that day, with plent of blues.
also your cup crowds are distorted by the fact in the early rounds season ticket holders get in for nothing.
and you didnt sell out sunday.
