Scum

Fall of the Berlin Wall, the first episode of Supermarket Sweep, 9/11, the London Olympics. The 4 big defining moments of our time IMO.

He’s the absolute don of puns.

I think he’s the best football presenter / host of my lifetime. Affable, objective, witty, exceptional footballing knowledge and just the right amount of quirkiness.

Top, top man.

Why do all spurs fans look like a version of Charlie Chaplain?

Idk what they’re upset about. This all seems to be working from my perspective.

Watching them thump the crossbar twice vs Wolves only to lose makes it feel even sweeter.

Because they made a pact to dress like someone who was around when Spurs last won the league

Repeatedly referring to us as Woolwich just shows how childish and petulant their fanbase is.

Incidentally I’m gonna go stay in the Woolwich Royal Arsenal Premier Inn next weekend.

Woolwich seems like a nice nickname though. Doesn’t feel derogatory.

Yeah, we don’t care. Spurs fans think they are insulting us. We moved to Highbury over 100 years ago. They really need to get over it.

I did think that but It’s more the regularity of them saying Woolwich than the word that’s annoying.

My old local was the site of Dial Square’s first changing rooms. I quite like it when they call us Woolwich as it reminds me that in a roundabout way I kinda support my local team :grin:

I think they have some sort of filter over the word Arsenal that automatically changes it to Woolwich in every post.

To be fair, we would be doing the exact same if things were reversed.

It’s meaningless in today’s world but they are right; we did move from another part of London.

I agree and I say their ground looks like a toilet but not in every sentence. :grinning:
Using Woolwich is fine but It shows a complete lack of imagination to say it so regularly.

We moved because there was a market for a football team in North London since the other team was not good enough.

When we moved to North London in 1913, Tottenham was actually in Middlesex, not London. At a later date the boundaries of London were extended, and Tottenham Hotspur became a London club.

Spurs fans really enjoy it when you point out that we’re the original North London club.
