In fact, I've been a very happy Spurs fan.
I've followed them through thin and thinner, but they've always played open entertaining football.
I remember the home debut of Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa against Aston Villa in 1978. Me and my mates, and the rest of the crowd, had loads of magazines and tore them up a la ticker-tape as the teams came onto the pitch. It was a warm evening with high expectations.
Tottenham lost 1-4.

Yes, they've been quite entertaining through the years - I'm not being sarcastic either.

Any manager who manages to get a couple of show ponies like Lamela & Eriksen to work in a team who play like that deserves a lot of respect.
That's fair enough, I still think Arsenal fans have more to be sorry about than ours though. Let's not forget we had a fairly slow start to the season when we lost to ManU and had more draws than wins. We really didn't get going until around October. This season has been great for football (It's still possible that West Ham could qualify for the CL yet), next season will be more interesting IMO.

I'd agree with that - they've been so close yet so far for ages now. Must be frustrating for the fans esp' when they can play some fantastic football when they decide to turn it on.

I just cannot see JM at Man U next season, especially is they win the cup.

I'm nervous about our game today at Wycombe. If we win and those below us don't then we could be promoted or thereabouts. But if we lose and those below us win then it won't be in our hands going in to the last match of the season. Ah well, at least we're guaranteed a play off spot. All in all it's been a great season,. I did say when we won promotion back to the Football League 10 years ago that we'd do well to still be here in 10 years time and we've proved the bookies wrong every year since then.

Big day in Div 2 on Saturday. You can't beat winning at Wembley but you don't want to risk it. Up the gas!

I don't fancy the play offs, but i would've certainly taken 'em at the start of the season!
We are one of about 4 league clubs who haven't played at Wembley, and i'd like to keep it that way, providing we don't need the play offs of course. Up the Stanley boys!!

I think you have done it now, Bristol Rovers must be gutted at that late goal!
Bradford will probably play Millwall in the play offs, a shame IMO, as that was the only fixture that might sell out Wembley.

I'd resigned myself to a play off spot, with Oxford and Bristol both 2-0 up in their games. That's the lad's first goal for Stanley and what a goal it could prove to be!
We seem to have a habit of scoring late goals to upset Bristol. We got one 3 minutes from the end to beat them the other month.http://accringtonstanley.co.uk/match/14863/

I literally struggled to sleep last night and will tonight. I will be listening on my own (it's too important to share with people who don't understand) with the champagne on ice. I haven't been this nervous / excited / expectant since my children were born.
Come on Leicester!!

Contrary to the chants from our inbred cousins, there are in fact two teams in Bristol. By referring to Bristol Rovers, or indeed, Bristol City as "Bristol" you mildly irritate both sets of fans. Sadly, we don't have a handy shortening like ManU so unless the wind up is intentional (fair game in this thread) it would be nice to refer to us as Bristol Rovers. Or The Gas, Rovers, those southern nancies etc.. Just something to differentiate us from City. When you say "Bristol" that refers to the eggchasers.
That said, its all down to the final game. We have Dagenham & Redbridge at home. A team who have found form about 35 matches too late. I shall also be cheeing Wycombe again.
