Spurs spursed it in the match, then Spursed it in the Pens.

Meet the new Spurs, same as the old Spurs.

Even better, I cashed out my Tottenham bet with quarter of an hour to go.

So you have never ever took the piss out of a rival losing in Europe? Or being knocked out of a cup early? Do you have any fun?

What a cruel way to lose, an added time leveller and then pens. So unfair on Spurs, so very unfair.

Only watched the penalties, but what I liked was that all the players who took proper penalties scored, while the players who tried to be sly stop-start cùnts missed.

I have long thought this, but laughing at the misfortune of others is at least 25% of the 'value' to be had from liking football.

It's a much higher percentage than that

It certainly is if you're a Villa fan.

I suppose the percentage changes depending on how well Villa are doing but laughing at the misfortune of other teams has been up to 90 percent for me sometimes. However unless there is a massive, massive advantage to us by a "six" club winning, I will definitely crow about them losing matches at any time whether they had won the quadruple the season before or not.

Being a piss taking, blinkered hypocrite is a big part of football. If I supported another club i'd have ripped the piss out of us over Emi turning into Boris Johnson and the ref screwing us over as we missed out on the CL. And that's how it should be.

This is the truth. Every other team deserves ridicule in their fuck ups.
