I suppose that this is an ethical question, but am I wrong to find myself enjoying a little frisson of pleasure at Spurs being 4 - 0 down, and it's not even half-time?
-
NOT AT ALL
-
Perfectly natural, in some small way it helps ease the pain of running the gauntlet back to the tube station of an evening when hordes of Spudz hoolies thought anyone was fair game & plod did jack shit.
-
It's only a blip, they'll still win it because next year ends with a 1.
-
After a shit day at work, this has really cheered me up.
Especially hearing TwitchyCuntFace talking about Rooney & The Title before the game.
-
You're bang out of order.
"A little frisson of pleasure" doesn't even come close.
-
No = it's our moral duty to enjoy this
-
I like to remember my past 'rencontres' with fans of said clubs at moments like this
....like the spurs fan who I had words with last season as he walked past us on the way out of WHL chanting 'boring, boring villa' right in our faces after they had spent as much time punting the ball up to Crouch and Defoe as we had to our forwards...somewhere, that guy will be enjoying this I'm sure as well as Spur's super stylish, easy on the eye football...
-

I am sooo relieved.
-
loveing it ;D
-
Da da da da daaaaa
-
It is rather fun isn't it...?
-
No

Bale looking very good again
-
TV: 'Is there a better left sided player than Gareth Bale in the world at the moment?'
Christ almighty... He's not that good... Not even close.
-
I'll have a helping of chips with my schadenfreude please
-
Oh to laugh at Spurzzz. But we'd all like to be in their position at this moment. Well not the scoreline, but the rest of it.
-
TV: 'Is there a better left sided player than Gareth Bale in the world at the moment?'
Christ almighty... He's not that good... Not even close.
Even when Spurs have been so utterly found wanting, the commentator comes out with this.
DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE
-
Can't stop laughing at old Bagpuss' Total Hypespur.... If Inter really wanted too they could get 10 against Spurzzz
-

Just got his hat trick to bring it back to 4-3
-
I was slated for calling Bale the best left sided player in the world on here a few months ago.

Fair play to the lad - 3 decent goals.
-
Becoming less amusing now...

And you still will be.
He's a good player but the best in the world in his position my arse.

Bizarre match.
-
I've just watched a summary on the national BBC news that talked about "a stunning fightback" from spurs. By the time it finished and the score was...ermm, they lost didn't they? STUNNING.
-
Hmm, this thread was a few minutes away from biting everyone on the arse!
If Ashley had performed like Bale did we'd be claiming him the world's greatest winger (he's probably closer to greatest whinger. Still love him though)
To balance things up, haha Spurs you still lost.
-
Hopefully Spurs will crash and burn at the weekend after this 'supreme effort' and we can take advantage.
-
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.
-
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.
-
but I can't help feeling there's a touch of "it should have fucking been us" in there somewhere.
"Wish it was us", I would agree.
"Should have been us". Very debateable.
-
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.
-
How much will Bale go for in the summer I wonder.
-
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.

Agree, Its turn into a farce.. Seeded clubs, group stages , its called champions , so how does a team finish 4th and still have to qualify get into it.. Bring back the knockout stage now... Big clubs saying their players play too many games and want a winter break while the like of arse play pointless group matches against Shaktar,Braga and Partizan, just so the big clubs get richer.
-

Well I should hope you would. Any team featuring Scouting for Girls and Davina Mcall is pure evil.

Just seen the front of The Sun, headline reads Golden Bales... anyone would think they won..THEY LOST

Look back to the Great European Nights we still talk about. Barcelona I, Juventus, Inter I.

Spurs defined, a glorious FAIL

What I'd give for their left back / midfielder.

I very rarely watch the CL. For no other reason than we're not in it and therefore I have no interest in it. It may as well by the Leyland Daf, the FA Cup from March onwards (if we're lucky), the Europa League from Rapid Vienna onwards, or the Cheam/Worcester Park Trophy Knock-out.
If it isn't us then I'm not bothered.

Nice one Maz, isn't that a bit 'Welshist' ?? ;-)

I'd rather have Bale than Ashley 'i'll cut inside and fall over' Young.
How shit is Jenas though? No wonder we were linked with him under O'Nearly.

I can see him wearing a pale blue shirt before long.

And yet he did bugger all against us a couple of weeks ago.

And Lennon. Another player who was hyped up beyond belief but has now faded into insignificance... just like what's going to happen to Bale soon once he's found out.

You really think Jenas will go to the pale blues?

You mean the misfortune of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the CL? Some misfortune! That's been Villa's stated aim for ages now. I dread to think how our current team would get on playing away to Inter.

I watch it. It's been my only source over the last few years to see any decent football.
This week I saw part of the Real Madrid game, part of the Arsenal game but couldn't bring myself to watch Man United. Same goes with Chelsea although I will watch them in the PL. Too boring in Europe. If the Spurs game had been on here I might have watched it but only to see them get stuffed.
I just can't bring myself to want any of the English teams do well. Just how much additional money have Arsenal received for scoring 14 goals in 3 games? It's a simple fact that with the CL, the rich just get richer and realistically, we're never going to be able to compete.
-
What i can't stand is when the commentators say things like 'Spurs are 3-0 down, i know the millions watching back home won't be enjoying this', when in fact myself and millions of others are sat there pissing ourselves laughing. I want every English team in the Champions League and Europa league to crash and burn and lose every game, the only exception was Fulham because noone hates Fulham, but i still didn't want them to win the whole thing as that would have been a step too far.
-
My mates a spurs fan and he said its a good score to take back to the lane, I said its not an aggregate score you twat :)
-
Another Spurs thread? Is this an Arsenal board in disguise?
I'm not going to take the piss out of a side that are in a competition that is our long term ambition to be in, and that just lost 4-3 with 10 men in a ground where we've lost 1-0 and 3-0 in our visits.
-

Athletico is another one often mentioned, well the second half.
Bizarrely, thinking about it as i'm typing, Anderlecht 1st leg is rarely mentioned.
-
Spurscelona ??....try living here in Cambridge where their silly delusional minds have them on a par with the great Real Madrid/Ajax/Liverpool/Forest/Villa/Bayern/Barcelona/Man Yoo etc legendary teams of the past,
so fuck em, I take great pleasure in seeing them lose.

I can't bring myself to wish much but ill will on Spurs
-
In the group phase of the CL, halfway through and second in their group.
I wish we had some of that misfortune.
