0% Villa: Is It Wrong To Take Pleasure In Spurs' Misfortune

[curiousorange]

To be fair, I think Spurs have been in decent nick but they've been helped by some undeniable good fortune early season. Dunne's slip and of course, that debacle at the weekend against Fulham. There are probably other examples but as I don't give a shite about them I can't bring any to mind.

[Dave Cooper please]

They've just played in Milan in the Champions League group stages and we have...what exactly?

Loving the piss taking, but I can't help feeling there's a touch of "it should have fucking been us" in there somewhere.

Also, these 'is it wrong to hate Spurs' type threads are getting a tad repetitive.

This is the second one is as many weeks devoted to the Lillywhite aresholes.

Aside from the blindingly obvious fact that no, it isn't wrong to hate them/ laugh at their misfortune - and nobody ever suggested it was- continuing to mention them makes us look smalltime.

I haven't checked, but I doubt COYS and the like have a myriad of threads devoted to Villa.

I prefer the poking the knuckle dragger thread. It's hilarious, have a look.

yep. Don't like them, but we need to give this jealousy thing up. It makes us look really small time. A bit like when the Noses have another "I hate the Villa" thread on KRO. Let's face it, we want to be where they are and despite being 4-0 down in Milan against the Italian and Champions League winners they came back to 4-3 with 10 men. That's good going however you look at it. They're not going to win the CL, they may not even get back there, but they'll have a decent run and make some money.

They're in the Champions League. We're not.

The answer to my question isn't clear. A lot of you are instinctively drawn to delighting in any misfortune that befalls Spurs, whereas many are more thoughtful and circumspect. I shall ponder on these things.

Interesting that the press are talking about Spurs' 'fightback' last night when it was nothing of the sort. For the majority of the second half they were penned in their own half again and only had a handful of counter attacks - that said, Bale's goals were brilliant.

Once again we see another inept Spurs european display yet the press seem to be able to spin it and give them much more credit than they deserve.

"Wish it was us", I would agree.

"Should have been us". Very debateable.

[darren woolley]

I wish it was us aswell but the fact is i still hate them.

I dont watch Champions League any more. I think its a silly tournament and a disgrace to the memory of the European Cup (I pray it goes back to that format one day) so maybe I'm not as jealous as I might have been once upon a time.

That said, I can't stand Troddenon Dogsturd.
If they played a team featuring Hitler, Osama bin Laden, Stalin, Scouting for Girls and Davina McCall I'd still want them to lose.

I had to listen to a twat Spurs fan on the radio yesterday try and justify how they can realistically sign Rooney.
Their fans are very special. In an extra chromosome sort of way.

Great match to watch.  Bale is some player, soo direct, Ash is great, but too many step overs to slow things up, this guy just bursts forward at pace and his finishes were soo clinical, he hit the ball soo sweetly each time.  Why do our players fluff their lines so often, it is rare to see Ireland, Sidwell, Petrov, NRC, Gabby, Ash, Heskey or Carew hit the ball soo sweetly like that.

[Chris Smith]

How much will Bale go for in the summer I wonder.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

 I can't be arsed to take pleasure in them losing, I am extremely jealous of the position they are in though.

The sad thing is that given the money it now brings in to the clubs that I can never see that happening.
